Le Merde, C'est In​é​luctable

about

The structure of this track went through a few stages of development, the first one being a fairly straightforward recording of some abstract text pieces I had written. The writing itself I thought was reasonably good (some of the text was revised & expanded for use in the original booklet for the ‘Foreign Matter’ CD), but the spoken performances left something to be desired and the end result wasn’t all that interesting. I subsequently made several unsuccessful attempts at editing and layering the readings together in different ways. It wasn’t until I started modifying the recordings to such an extent that it became more of an abstract texture that I began to get somewhere. How the peculiar wah guitar ended up in there, I can’t remember.

The track name is a translation into French of a phrase that was poignantly used by Richard Faulhaber.
