dolphins in cornwall (MOLT FLUID, 2023) ----- IEOGM  

The Quietus - Spool's Out Best Cassettes of 2023

cornwall's bays and inlets are regularly visited by dolphins, their arrival being unpredictable and often short but sonically sweet. 
instead of sound passing through the outer ear to the middle ear, these mammals receive sound through the throat, from which it passes 
through a low-impedance fat-filled cavity to the inner ear - they send out varying frequency timbres and tones from an organ known as a melon.

"crows an wra" and "nancledra" are based on a text written by the concept horse - it was then algorithmically-translated and read out loud 
through a voltage controlled 12db/oct state variable filter ////recorded in 2023 by marie vermont and the concept horse with a 
shifting constellation of electronic and acoustic devices

reviews: "I love an album where my overriding thought about it is, 'What the hell is happening here?' IEOGM fits that bill perfectly. Manipulated 
voices take on a cryptic bend when paired with crackling, high-frequency drones from another dimension. Dissonance breaks and falls apart, dropping 
electric garbage into a stewing pot of aural gray chum. The world isn't as it should be throughout dolphins in cornwall as IEOGM captures
the overwhelming confusion of ending up in a polluted, alien swamp when all you want to do is ride the ocean waves. Hiss mars crystalline blips 
turning them harsh and opaque. Eventually, we clink our way into the ether only to find it's another vat of nothingness. This is fucken great." (Foxy Digitalis, 2023)
