Deep Into The Northwest Forest: A Noise Tribute To Gravity Falls
Released september 18th, 2017.
DEEP INTO THE NORTHWEST FOREST wasn't planned at first. Indeed, after my desire to move on different projects (as MYWRONGNOTE, which 2016 album, THE FREAK IN THE SCENE, is my favorite album ever recorded) I seriously doubt if I was going to continue as Sir Edgar Carpenter. However, when I saw Alex Hirsch's animated series "Gravity Falls" for the first time, I knew inmediately that I should put back the Killing Cartoon Society in action.
DEEP INTO THE NORTHWEST FOREST puts the "art is endlessly derivative" concept in a high status, and was the first volume of the saga I recorded using granular synthesis (a production techinque I first worked on MODULATION GENESIS). Also, despite the traditional "a noise tribute" subtitle, this would easily be the least noisy release of all saga, but at the same time I consider it the best produced, in the same stripped down style as LOOPTRONICA, but more closely related to IMAGINE ME due to the bigger influence of Brad Breeck's original score. It is also the first time I release each disc of the standard release as an individual product, at suggestion of Zenapolae's netlabel.
2 discs standard release
