Several weeks ago my sister, Nichole, came down for a weekend visit and we decided to make some musique concrète.
We walked around West Lafayette and Lafayette, recorded sounds, talked, and then went into the studio to sample our discoveries.
The result was our collaborative album: Kankakee, Mississippi, Wabash: the Other Side of the River (a journey).

01 – Motherland (within means)
02 – tread on air
03 – abrupt injunction
04 – set the teeth on edge
05 – Valkyrie (an interlude)
06 – invulnerable (a demonstration)
07 – …and the rest
Mississippi

Several weeks back we had the great pleasure of hanging out with some friends, making some noise on an old organ, and playing various drawing games. That same night, we recorded a nice jam in the basement by setting our Olympus DM-520 on a chair and stepping away.
The Media Collective is proud to present the resulting audio titled, One Chair Short, to Spite.
Enjoy!
