The original sample was taken and manipulated using tap delays, echoes, pitch shifting, chopping, reverb, and time stretching. Piano was added towards the end of the piece.

A softsynth Minimoog was used to create the beat. A drum machine was used to create the background pads. This was manipulated using pitch shifting, reverb, and resonance filters. A field recording of a small group of people screaming was used to create the melody. This was pitch shifted and EQed.

'Dead' or 'blank' sounds of old electrical equipment buzzing were used to construct this piece. These were collaged into 15-second loops which differed slightly each time. The voice is a garbled version of this: www.ivona.com/en/products/voice-salli/ More on this 83rd Disquiet Junto project, in which a page from recently declassified documents related to NSA collection of telephone metadata records is treated as a graphically notated score, at: http://disquiet.com/2013/08/01/disquiet0083-redacted/ Image found via twitter.com/shearm and twitter.com/glennf.

Listening to this today reminded me that we've got a handful of remixes by various artists, and it'd be a shame to leave them alone, gathering dust. [To those who have asked for multitracks, I will send them out your way. I promise!] Anyway, I hope you enjoy this deliciously violent remix of our track A Coastal Dance on the Grave of Romance by Katarrhaktes. This track (and more) will be available to download in the future. Lee
