MISINTERPRETATIONS_1 // SUBSTRATA
Two companion records are now basically locked and waiting for Bandcamp.
MISINTERPRETATIONS_1 The scroll cover is a close crop of the Signal Scroll printout – dot-matrix description of Crossed Wires slipping in and out of focus. It’s the right visual for what the album is doing: eight AI-assisted reinterpretations of the SIGNAL side of signal // NOISE, rebuilt from stems, run through Between Lines, and then fed to Suno as prompts.
Same source material, same emotional spine – but heard twice removed. Caption errors, memory seams, the brain trying to “fill in” what it never properly heard in the first place. INPUT ≠ COMPREHENSION as a whole album pass.
(eight tracks: 43 minutes)

SUBSTRATA The CRT/static image is the induction underworld of The Interpreter. SUBSTRATA is built almost entirely from H2n induction recordings of the rig: chargers, CRTs, waveform monitor, dot-matrix, CI dehumidifier, demand unit, power blocks. EM fields and transformer hums you can’t normally hear, pushed through Suno in a tighter Emptyset / Ben Frost orbit.
Where signal // NOISE is lived experience, SUBSTRATA is what hums underneath it – the machine-room nervous system of the installation. Darker, slower, more physical: pressure, infralux, structural drone.
Both albums are openly AI-assisted (Between Lines + Suno), but rooted in very specific, very material recordings: miscaptioned text and electromagnetic noise from the actual hardware. Think of them as two second copies of signal // NOISE: one misheard, one buried.
(nine tracks: 41 minutes)
