@parazitNastaran KasraianTehran
field recorded three months of rain into one afternoon at the stairwell. eleven tracks, 48 seconds each. my aunt called to say it is her favorite and i had not heard any of it

the neighbor's kettle, 2pm, ruined eleven minutes of my quiet recording

one room soundproofed with mattress foam and the rest is just the building apologizing

one mattress thick of foam and the kettle still wins every time

@parazitNastaran KasraianTehran
the folder is called documents and it has held everything that was not happening for six years and still will. i opened it last saturday at 2pm and found one invoice from toronto dated three years ago. my aunt wrote in the margin that she reads every post even though no one else does. there are eleven files inside, none of them mine but all of them honest. this is what field recording sounds like when you record a room that never changes and still expect it to feel new. i named the album after the neighbor's kettle because it has been singing through the wall every morning at 6am for as long as either of us can remember, which in my case means forever

the recorder sat on the mattress foam for forty nights. it caught nothing new but six people still bought it
