about

In 2012, GNAUMGN, pioneers of telesonic chronoplasty, recorded their seminal work "Remote Hearing (Time and Space) #1". The experiment involved "permeating the barriers of Time and Space with Occult Sonics", according to the liner notes, by "independently record[ing] around about half-an-hour's worth of improvised material... at different times and 143 kilometres apart", recordings which would then be "layered over each other... [with] [n]o edits".

In 2015, GNAUMGN recorded a follow-up experiment, "Remote Hearing (Apophenia) #2", in which the duo recorded five different pieces each, of around 3-5 minutes apiece (still, of course, 143 kilometres apart, and at different times), and layered their unrelated pieces (utilising field recordings, junk-drums, piano, synths, violin, washing lines, and a 10 litre tin of external house-paint) over each other.

In 2016, they released "Remote Hearing (Agrestic) #3", with each member recording around 20 minutes of material solo, and presenting it to the other member, encouraging them to "jam along" with it.

Well, in 2018, GNAUMGN has done it again. This time, once again their experiments in chronoplastic pareidoliasm were completely psionic, and no actual real-world communications were entered into. The pieces here were recorded in two large solo and unrelated jams by each bandmamber, then overlaid and mixed down, then cut into four smaller sections and jumbled up.

This material was perhaps recorded a year ago, perhaps longer ago.
The band honestly can't remember any more.

NOTE: the artwork is two overlaid photos of the first ever GNAUMGN gig, at Horse Bazaar, in 2010. None of the sounds heard here are from that gig.
