"DNS - taking big bites of the khandas three cafes deep is a live recording of improvisatory miniatures that mimic the form of collage. It is the first collaborative effort of Joseph Schlam and Alexander Cooper, made in the attic of a childhood home, and launches the label's efforts. Drawing from the duo's shared upbringing in North Carolina's Piedmont region, the duo convened over the course of a week, the results of which prompted the creation of BLTC.
Live improvisation amplified in stereo via two amps, using drums, voice, live electronics, and field recordings.
The intentional aspects of the record draw on discussions of a favorite book of Cooper's: Eugen Fink's Play as Symbol of the World (Indiana University Press). It took an in situ collaborative setting to let the compositional approach unfold. Much of the electronics processing was informed by Pogus Productions' 2004 sextet record Trios, Costin Miereanu, and Jaap Vink. Compositional approaches were informed by Lionel Marchetti, Luc Ferrari, and Dagar vani.
The flow of musical and verbicovisual references eddy into a loch of exploratory play."-Bu Lang Tribute Cake
