about

The third volume of Microdot Transmissions arrives, broadcast back into the ether from which it was accumulated and harvested. All twelve sessions of 2022's "Five Held Tones" series in Workingman's Drone have been composted using a specifically designed signal processing path, which includes fast Fourier transforms, plate reverb, vactrols, granular pitch deviation and an extensive amount of parametric equalization, all funneled through the analog veins of a JVC KD-A11 deck for the final gloss.

By definition, the Microdot Transmissions are intended to be peripheral to the Workingman's Drone series, offering a view of "possible worlds" that can be discovered if one dives deep enough into the halftones of these vibrating passages. Equally psychedelic and holistic, they are suitable for substance-led excursions, meditation and are a reliable companion for open windows, paperbacks and studio workspaces. Listeners are encouraged to experiment with volume levels, speaker type (open air versus closed ear) and spatial placement, as well as with equalization and pitch of the audio playback, in order to maximize the usefulness of the material.

My DEEP EARTH series, comprised of darkroom improvisations recorded without computers, live on analog and digital equipment. Time pulses out of focus. Brian Grainger

Thriambus

Slowly unfurling ambient music, wafting from foggy guitars, orchestral tape loops and a humming vintage organ. Pollock shooting off fireworks for phosphene weather. Brian Grainger

Night's Moisture

A six-hour ambient tapestry, with subtle dub techno undercurrents. Created for the exact length of time my newborn daughter was finally sleeping through the night at the time. Brian Grainger
