JAMES P. KEELER: BLIZZARD
Originally released as a 2xc30 SNOWBLIND Boxset in an edition of 10. Packaged in a white box with black and white artwork and detailed explanation of the storm and recording process.
Blistering cold raw field recordings of the mighty Wisconsin blizzard of 2011. Tape 1 (PURE #001) + (PURE #002) is raw unprocessed field recordings of the blizzard recorded in real-time via a vintage magnavox microphone and slimline cassette tape recorder.
Tape 2 side 1 (IMPURE #001) is a collage of all the glitches, freezing microphone sounds and malfunctions during the recording process very much akin to AUBE.
Tape 2 side 2 (IMPURE #002) is a representational track of what it felt like to stand in the middle of 60 mile an hour winds being blasted with icy snow.
Harsh manipulations of the field recordings.
