BEEHATCH is the new project from Phil Western and Mark Spybey,
who met in Vancouver, whilst playing together in Download. Ten
years have elapsed since they last worked together. During that
time, Phil has released a number of solo and collaborative albums
and has continued to work as part of both Download and platEAU
(w/ cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy fame). He is also a producer and
DJ. Mark has continued to release albums as Dead Voices on Air,
Reformed Faction (a band formed with fellow Zoviet*France
members) and has collaborated with many musicians, including
members of Can and Faust.
BEEHATCH was initiated as the result of a "shall we make an album
together" chat on the telephone. The album was recorded in Los
Angeles and England via internet file sharing Far from being an
impersonal way of making music, this technique has liberated the
approach to the making of this album. Gone are the days of being
locked in an expensive and often creatively dead studio-space.
The musicians were able to make music at leisure, in familiar
environments. Phil and Mark have developed similarities in an
approach to music making but in essence, Phil emerged smiling
from the generation electronic and Mark slowly crept out of the
distant days of four tracks and homemade instruments. Both are
seasoned improvisers who started life as drummers and tend to
ignore as many of the so-called ærules of music making' as
possible.
Nothing is clear. Everything is possible. Accidents are
encouraged.
This CD is packaged in a 6-panel digipak with original artwork by
Mark Spybey. Audio mastering courtesy of Frankie Pett.
