Intermission.
It's been a while. Movement on the recordings have been slow. Perhaps a Test Dept video will suffice?

Skull Servant NE/SE - Vacant Screens/Vacant Eyes cassette
Here at Skull Servant industries, we fly by the seat of our ADD brains, but when we stumble across sounds that don't work for recordings or ideas that are currently underway, we tend to switch gears and focus on the new idea. So in parallel with Obfuscation and Transparency releases, we've finished two new pieces, Vacant Screens and Vacant Eyes - one about computerized surveillance, one about the people who watch surveillance for a living. This will be released in the next month as we finish the art. More fun. Will post when ready.
13.2.15
Obfuscation/Transparency
The next (pair of) release(s) will be Skull Servant NE/SE Obfuscation 7" lathe cut and Skull Servant NE/SE Transparency 7" lathe cut. Obfuscation will be a sonic piece that works with the idea of obscuring your identity with unreal data points, to create a confused version of who you are for those who track you. Currently we're recording 150 layers for this experiment, and we've completed three of the anticipated twenty recording sessions required to get this level of depth.
Transparency, of course, is the opposite of obfuscation. As a result transparency will be a Skull Servant take on droning sounds. Very minimal, subtle, quiet.
Skull Servant - The Humans cassette is back in the practice stages - we've reworked our original material to create stronger, better songs. We've cut the release down to two longer tracks similar is feel to "Watching", but perhaps a bit less reserved. Doom metal meets powerviolence meets noise, with a splash of blown speakers in there to get the full effect.
Finally, Skull Servant - Watching (dub) is still on hiatus, as some hardware required to make this happen broke. Will be fixing as soon as possible, but of course, things cost money and time. We've also made a DAW switch from Sonar X1 to Studio One - which means the rough tracks need to be exported and imported, and the mixing process with outboard equipment will begin again.
