Phog Masheeen is a mix of pulse driven clipping, music concrete’ style ambience and public service announcements. By utilizing a trumpet with a particular focus on the incidental sounds that the instrument produces, the resonating springs, clattering loose valve caps and the clunking of valves have become part of the sonic pallet.
Beautiful
Is about nature, its cruelty… its horror and its fragility. The spider on the cover is meant to convey both the astonishing power of life as well as its destructive force.
Throughout the career of CJ Borosque she has offered up her noise-ventures as singular commentary of psychological states of being that come from the intersection of her consciousness with society and the tensions and conflicts that arise from that conflict.
This album in neither nihilistic nor dystopian, but is instead a celebration of the vitality of the animal world and the veracity of nature. These tracks represent the wanderings of a mad mind that is illuminated by understanding on the brink of twilight. With this album CJ embraces her fear of madness and her fear of death and brings the beauty of both within the reach of the listening observer. This album is about the reconciliation of the human consciousness with the powerful and dark forces of the unconscious…
CJ is an avant garde sound sculptor, noise artist and video-maker…who resides in the SF Bay Area…and lives for new music, silent films, Japanese horror films kung fu films and any films really…she derives her musical inspiration from Madness, sanity, love, loss, anguish deformed mental imagery, humor and immanence. She loves her cat, despises war and respects both violent and peaceful aesthetic approaches to art as long as they have content and deliver an impact that inspires.
Cost: $6-10
