about

‘Cognitive Disorder #4’, like #2, was an experiment in creating a dense, textural mass of sound. This one was less dense (particularly in the problematic low frequencies) and the sources used were more organic, so it was easier to get to a vaguely satisfactory result. Unlike the other tracks on the album, this one is mostly constructed from De Anza sampler-studio materials – primarily using a couple of sections from the ‘Nihl Corpus’ track, but also some unattached rattle clusters that hadn’t found their place during those DA studio sessions. The central ingredient of the crickets was culled from a cassette of field recordings I‘d made in Cupertino in 1995 (fairly early f.r. days for me: this one being amongst the first few I ever attempted). Blended into the middle is a wire eggslicer symphony that had previously been a self-contained 4-track experiment. It seemed to fit in nicely with the cricket chirps and rattles.
