‘Cognitive Disorder #2’ has been an absolute pain in my backside since I first tried to assemble it. The intention was to construct an enormous, bone-rattling drone using the variety of sounds made by an air compressor that I shared a workspace with for (far too many!) years. This barrage would then transition into an atmospheric strata of field recordings made through the window of the apartment I used to share with Richard (hi Richard) Faulhaber: there was a corrugated metal wall on the neighbouring building that squeaked and shuddered in a way that, in its counterpoint to the wash of background traffic, I always found very pleasant. The second part came together relatively easily, but trying to layer those pneumatic drones turned out to be like trying to build a lattice out of thick, oozing mud. As I mentioned before, the ability to use EQ to properly mesh the frequencies of different audio layers was something that took me many years to develop. This new version is my best (and, in any event, last) attempt.
