we have just made publically available for free download on soundcloud the track 'shim'. it of all the rejected pieces from february's haul most nearly made it onto the februarymass subscription compilation sent to our loyal and overjoyed subscribers only yesterday - but didn't, due to the vast quantities of meshmass being generated by the actions of yeasts, microbes and zygotes in huge vats concealed in our enormous and emptily echoing chinese production facilities. the meshmass breeds in dark and hidden places, its secret workings a mystery even to its progenitors as tiny nanobeings knit together seamless webs of sound particles and fluff them up with goo. latest in this remorseless flood of musicmaking comes the plague of tiny sinewaves that combine into the dark carpeting now covering every surface in meshmass mansions with its unresting activity, a living carpet of tiny particles based on the ancient african practice of 'hocketing' (you'll just have to look that one up) and herewith declared to be known as carpetmusic, which therefore it is. for the avoidance of doubt and in order to dispel confusion, it is defined thus: carpetmusic is a sort of refracted drone made of tiny pieces into which many different superstructures can be woven. if a drone is like a river then carpet is like the light reflected from moving water, twinkling and dancing in response to the spaceless interaction of drone and rhythm. if on the other hand a drone is not like a river (because it is not wet, for example, or because it does not always go downhill and seek to arrive at the sea) then you will have to think of your own bloody analogy .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. beware the meshmass, it just keeps on coming.
