‘Dead Wax’ is a term used to describe that area of a vinyl recording between the end of the actual recording grooves and the central label. The dead wax is the run out groove, the perpetual scratchy rhythm emitted from the vinyl as the pressed music ends. Often, the dead wax is also an area which contains manually scratched messages such as the catalogue numbers or occasionally more cryptic or undecipherable messages from the artists. A form of extraneous visual communication and practical mechanical application but one which also has audio consequences.
This is a collection of pieces pursuing a complete Re-Imagined approach to the Second-Handed Blues album.
This album pulls out the underlying atmospheres and more ambient underlay from the original tracks, a kind of Third Hand Blues, recontextualising and plundering the extraneous sounds and more hidden moments beneath and within the surface of the originals.
Adopting a more ambient/drone style approach, this collection was originally conceived to be encountered in a totally darkened room with the aid of a single candle, without interruption.
Listen closely to hear the Voices From The Dead Wax seeping through.
