Due Additions

TIMOTHY GEORGER - SELECTED FEEDBACK IMPROVISATIONS Now available from DUE ADDITIONS (bandcamp: tape/digital) "One of the many "what- if" moments in modern history was the Chilean economic program Project Cybersyn. It was an attempt to synthesize Communist economic principals with the newly developed field of cybernetics---the science associated with managing the flows of communication and utilizing feedback loops that allow systems to adjust themselves in real-time. In a real swords-into-plowshares moment, scientist Norbert Wiener realized that different starting conditions lead to different necessities for anti-aircraft missiles, and that a system should properly account for these differences. The future promised by Cybersyn was foreclosed upon during the United States-backed coup of Chilean leader Salvador Allende on 09/11/1973." TG 2025 No-input mixer and Max/MSP.

RYAN BELL - MATERIAL HISTORY THREE WAYS Now available from DUE ADDITIONS (bandcamp: tape/digital) On March 29th, March 30th, and April 3rd, 2024, I made cut-up record sets featuring removable and adjustable parts. Immediately after creating each set, I improvised using a cheap suitcase turntable, recording my process. There are no overdubs––just one fragment after another. “Continuous present is one thing and beginning again and again is another thing. These are both things. And then there is using everything. This brings us again to composition this the using everything. The using everything brings us to composition and to this composition. A continuous present and using everything and beginning again.” Gertrude Stein, “Composition as Explanation," 1926 Album cover, j-card, and tape designs by Ryan Bell.

DA003: Ryan Bell and Hanyu Liao, Fair “On August 20th, 2022, we went to the Erie County Fair, recording with our phones as we walked without aim. This piece layers two 40-minute excerpts, panned right and left. We cut out our voices, leaving gaps of silence.” -RB+HL Cassette/digital on Bandcamp (link in bio)

DA002: unurth, MIRAZHAKU MIRAZHAKU is the debut full-length album from unurth, the latest recording project of Bret Hymer. Hymer presents listeners with a music of tableaus––short-form affective assemblages that emerge one after the other, fading in and out in the loose rhythm of daydreaming. Alongside guitar, voice, and electronic processing, he utilizes the sounds of the domestic and everyday to construct a layered presence, structured in sound, whose surfaces are deceptive, turning here into there and back again. “piercing / a lake behind a factory / a breath behind a subtle glow [...] a horn gently ruffles / birds resting their feathers / on the branches / paralyzed a frog in mud / in approach of / rising / waters” unurth: acoustic guitar, voice, pour over, window AC unit, books, plumbing, fluids, field recordings, sound processing, editing, images, text, digital cover art J-card and cassette design by Ryan Bell
