about

In FACETOUCHER'S words:

"the album is called "WE WERE GIVEN A CHANCE", and conceptually it's all related to the vast improvements in air pollution and natural wellbeing and environment that were recorded in that first bit of the pandemic when everyone around the world was locking down and capitalism stopped for a little bit... it's like, we had this moment to decide if we would go hard back into ruthless exploitation, or try a new way of being... and we chose to go back hard into ruthless exploitation. ah well.

this conceptualisation is not audible, but was on my mind when i was compiling the album for you. as a planet-loving hermit who lives naturally in a permanent lockdown, it seems the wrong choice to make as a species to me, but my opinion has always been unpopular.

ANYWAY. enjoy the musics. i am proud of them. the track titles are taken from various articles documenting the environmental improvements recorded during that brief window of humanic decentralisation. peace."

BIO:

CORONACORE - COVIDWAVE - PLAGUENOISE

FACETOUCHER is a mouth-powered improvised project made at home with voice and Audiomulch - all sounds that are not obvious drum sounds began as sounds made by the human mouth, processed live and with no outcomes in mind. it can end up as glitchy electronica, ritual drone, pulsing electrokosmiche, harsh noise, twisted cybergrind, doofy bangers, or minimalist experimentia - or something that flitters between them all, and not quite like any of them.

FACETOUCHER was created in order to somehow mark this monumental epoch in time through the cathartic process of making sound.

FACETOUCHER is another project by A DEMON SHEEN.
