    Assembled by hand, one copy at a time, in the White Pillar Workshop! Just for you, this clean white 5" recordable disc is etched via the laser-arm of a D20 duplication machine, kissed with ink and placed snugly inside a white cardboard jacket bearing a custom vintage 3.5mm floppy disk label (retrieved from the deep archives of forgotten office supplies in a Daytonian warehouse) on the front cover, informing you in a clear and concise way which broadcast you're listening to. Almost all of the CD-R editions of the Vibratelepathos material have been edited for runtime to fit on a CD-R, but between you and I, it's really hard to tell the difference!

about

The fifth session recorded under the SECOND COAT header finally surfaces, well over a year after it was laid to digital tape on February 25, 2020. Created during a still very cold and bitter ending to a pre-pandemic Winter in Ohio, it feels oddly appropriate to release it as the last days of Summer warmth are dwindling down, and Autumn creeps in with brown leaves, cinnamon and orange-purple dusks.

Musically, SECOND COAT V circles the drain for two hours, lethargically playing textural variations on a very simple scale of notes, perpetually in some kind of electrical motion within a Korg MS-20 monophonic analog synthesizer. Notable use of the pitch deviation between the MS-20's two VCOs is present, with some beautiful and gradual detuning happening across the long runtime. By comparison to the previous SECOND COAT session, recorded earlier the same evening, SECOND COAT V is noticeably more saturated in reverb and long droning passages. The piece feels like languorous electric windchimes, blown lazily by the last dying breaths of Summer wind, as the acidic orange sun sinks beneath the vanishing point.

SECOND COAT V is also an interesting piece to look back upon, this far into the lifespan and evolution of the R-EW Audioholistics system, which did not yet bear that name until after this piece was recorded. A beautiful minimalism to immerse myself in here, keeping it important to remember that with modular and generative music, more is not always more. SECOND COAT V was created using only the Korg MS-20, a single granular processing module (Mutable Instruments Clouds) and extensive use of the control voltage patch points on the MS-20, three Moogerfooger units and the Arturia Microbrute. It is a perfect example of just how much is possible through modulation alone, and an ascetic reminder of how easy it can be to be lost looking for the next great adventure when building a modular system that can quickly and quietly become bereft of purpose.
