Rambutan – Parallel Systems

Along with 68 other artists I have contributed sounds to the upcoming Rambutan album “Parallel Systems”.

From the artist:

Rambutan – Parallel Systems

Limited edition 2CD set (154 minutes) in full color, plastic-free gatefold 6-panel eco-sleeve. Forthcoming co-release on SEDIMENTAL RECORDS and TAPE DRIFT RECORDS. Parallel Systems is a collection of 33 audio collages created with original contributions from 69 artists from 9 countries including members of Fugazi, Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Trumans Water, Sebadoh, Olivia Tremor Control, Reynols, Wolf Eyes, and a host of contemporary sound explorers. All of the contributions were then used as source material for a series of collages (“systems”) conceptualized, constructed, mixed and composed by Rambutan (Eric Hardiman).

It’s available for preorder now, over HERE.

Continental Fruit interview

My good friend and collaborator of many years, Jon Øyvind Lærum, gives a rare interview to Count Backwards where he talks about his longstanding (and amazing, I might add) project Continental Fruit and plays some favorite tunes.
