I recently participated in an open call for induction recordings from LOM, the creator of the Elektrosluch 3. From those submitted, LOM curated an album of their favourite tracks. The rules were simple: the track had to be a raw recording that only contained induction recordings, though those could come from an Elektrosluch 3, induction coils, guitar pick-ups, or something similar. Volume could be adjusted and layering was allowed, but no effects processing could be done to the tracks.

I recently started writing music again after a long hiatus. This was the first song I wrote, and after letting it cook for a few months, I decided it was time to record those ideas and start getting some feedback. I found that I went back and forth on this song’s lyrics over the months, almost feeling like they were insincere. They represent how I felt for a time, and how I sometimes feel now.

Heap had always known Stack to be a very put-together individual. While Heap was laid back and disorganized, Stack was always very structured and serious, rarely taking any time off or deviating from his routine. One day, Heap came across Stack relaxing on the beach, something that struck him as very odd. Heap, surprised, approached Stack and asked what he was doing. Stack replied, “On exception, I need to unwind.”
