Human Enemy: A Noise Tribute To Robotboy
Released november 5th, 2014
A fourth installment for the Killing Cartoon Society was not originally planned. In fact, the recording process of HUMAN ENEMY was more random than the previous effort, LOOPTRONICA. The samples from the original animated series Robotboy (which I choose this time inspired on my cousin's vocation to be a robotic engineer) were added at the final moment, when all the remaining music and noises were already recorded for other scrapped releases.
It's comprehensible why HUMAN ENEMY didn't make the same impact as LOOPTRONICA two years earlier: I barely promoted HUMAN ENEMY on internet, I was focused on other side projects like MYWRONGNOTE and NOISEORCHESTRA to do that. Besides, I've decided to take my time to record my music, without any pressure. I felt that by waiting more time between one album and the other I made further expectative and had the chance to correct something I didn't like on what I was working on. HUMAN ENEMY was edited from a original master tape which lasted almost 2 hours, which was released a year later as it's companion release: THE COMPLETE HUMAN ENEMY.
