about

Purity isn’t real.

It is a concept concocted as a means of implying truth. But even in the cleanest water there are mineral deposits. in the most crisp photograph there is grain and in the most direct sound there are artifacts. Of the environment, of the presence of the person recording and of the medium itself.

I kept coming back to that thought while working on VI. I’ve found that thinking i have a clear idea of what a project is or that i have a 'pure' vision for connecting sounds together is a perfect way to find myself in entirely different territory upon completion of that same project.

This is a composition of field recordings transferred to cassette tape with varying degrees of compression and saturation mechanically slowed to a hissing crawl. The intent was to illustrate the feeling of suspended animation as a sense of home while spending so much time away from my own. To compose the pattern of a single day out of fragments clipped from months worth of them. Whether or not it achieved its originally intended goal became irrelevant over time. Highly disparate sounds overlapped naturally and blended into one another at slower than half speed. Is that the dry, screeching, rigging grid of the greek theater in Berkeley California or a fervent canopy of birds howling in a Tulum park? It doesn’t matter, they are smearings of sound now. For as much as i wanted to map out a narrative with closing VI the project always seems to come back to being a crooked, soiled canvas for the listener to broadcast their own experience upon.

(Patrick Scott, July 2025)

recorded using a zoom F3 and my phone from january to november 2024.
these recordings were then transferred to cassette tape and collaged in real time using a fostex X28h and three speed modified handheld cassette players through doepfer, bastl, befaco, mxr, earthquaker, fmr and empirical labs compression, saturation and filtering in brooklyn, new york during december 2024 and january 2025.

the recordings were then mixed and mastered in february 2025 also in brooklyn, new york.

thank you to daniel for being curious and game for the varying directions this project has taken since we first discussed it.
