When I Grow Old Let Us Go Down
Sometimes you have to magnify an object thousands of times before you can begin to understand it. Sometimes you have to slow down footage to realize what has been happening. The same goes for sound, and when we are able to grasp the emotional and cognitive possibilities of sound as an arrangement of a continuous and expanding pallet, we will then be closer to understanding one another as well.
This is a closer look of the song “Says Elliott” written and recorded by Sibylle Baier from her album Colour Green.
“The towers also serve another purpose: they both absorb and dampen urban noise, and transmit is as well, as if giant speakers. The concept, say the authors, is to filter the urban noise pollution into serene sounds city dwellers wish to hear, to rework startling sirens and alarms into harmonic sound waves.”

Speedy Grumbles if Bonny Mumbling (2008)
This limited release split features some of the first demos of Sleeping Friends and Bubbly Mommy Gun. The Sleeping Friends you here he no longer entirely exists, except maybe spiritually, but regardless, that line up featured Joe Kubler, Elia Eidelman, Jamie Riley, and Greg O’Connell. The Sleeping Friends songs were recorded onto four-track then mixed on a lap top in May of 2008. Bubbly Mommy Gun recorded onto computer and mixed onto tape in November of the same year.
