Title Description:
A traveller deals with the burden of digitized dreams...
This latest SI-CUT.DB album, the 7th one proper, is a culmination of 2 years of work in which Douglas Benford sets off on his own personal exploration and reclamation of electronica, a journey circumnavigating the 'si-cut.db dub and micro-house music templates' with a nostalgic but escapist slant, infused with his own original sonic sensibilities (and grooves).
Aiming to creating a 21st century 'Another Green World' (the benchmark Eno album from 1975, and an influence on Benford's youth) this new CD, 'FROM TEARS: Beach Archive' is a collection of work composed at many coastal locations across the world. With his laptop strapped to his backpack, Benford spent many weeks exploring waterways and seafronts - whether in Riga, Vancouver, Athens, Aberdeen or the coast of Devon in England, and from this a beach theme emerged, whilst the music is complimented with rich evocative digital waves and washes, generated using a variety of software combinations. The album is mastered by click and cuts and software wunderkind TWERK aka Shawn Hatfield in San Francisco.
