about

Tape 1 was recorded and mixed on a Tascam 4 track cassette machine in 4 different sittings between May 2021 and June 2022. The music itself is a reflection on the distinct emotional states occurring during the recording of each track: some pieces meditative and others cathartic, all with an underlying visceral tone. Having a physical machine as a vessel to create the music makes the experience more tangible and human. This also means none of the sounds were computer generated, it is composed of emotions inspired by machines, instruments and the ambient noise that permeates the backdrop of Tape 1. No Illusion Pt. I and II were accompanied by musical collaborator Corey Gordon, bringing in another voice to this segmented tape-recording project.

Eric Van Thyne is a music producer, engineer, and composer based in Los Angeles, CA, performing and recording experimental sound work since 2014. His process involves improvisation and experimental sound techniques, combining his engineering background with his deeply rooted musical intuition. Van Thyne’s music can be equally inspired by Strauss orchestral works as it is by Moog synthesizers. He takes interest in sonic extremes, oftentimes pushing the limits of an instrument or piece of equipment. This philosophy is present in all of his works, always seeking ways to reinvent and repurpose the tools at his disposal.

Drifting through the early 2023 void; staring at the rather uninspiring grey skies behind my screen, the formless, comforting ambient clouds seeping through my speakers from the new Russ Young LP on Audiobulb are the perfect adjunct to this limbo state, as I unhurriedly sharpen my pencil, contemplate the to do list & enjoy the calm before the storm.
