about

Influenced by a sound technique David Lynch used in his Fire Walk With Me film where characters spoke in a dream-sequence warp, I though a small spoken axiom would be good start things off. It is backwards forwards. The speaker’s dialogue is learned backwards and then performed in such a way. Then the recording is reversed so the dialogue comes out ‘normal’ again, but as a result it sounds strange. In “Control” I had several limitations with recording quality (only using a dynamic microphone and a very average soundcard), so I felt compelled to mask this using effects. Using a simple close delay, the voice is mechanized and the “let go” advice is delivered unemotionally. A little time stretching and vast echo on the last “go” and the music gets under way…

lyrics

She destroys you / He destroys you / You destroy you / Let go / Let go.
