about

Back in May, Michael Pierce, Michael Potter, and Thom Strickland went into Gift Horse Studios in Athens, GA, and recorded a day's worth of electronic material to be used for the next album by The Electric Nature. Potter then mixed that material into a few open-ended psychedelic noise jams that he loaded onto a sampler to improvise on top of. Since the rest of the group wasn't able to make another jaunt after their Spring tour for the 'Old World Die Must' LP, Potter booked a solo month-long trek between September and October to coincide with the release of their new cassette on Eiderdown Records, and used this material as the backdrop for each night's performance.

Armed with a guitar, a sampler, and a table full of electronic noise devices, Potter improvised either alone or with sets of other musicians depending on the locale. Each new cast of players, having never previously heard the material, brought their own unique styles and perspectives to the performances. Because of this, each night was a completely different experience.

'Live in Troy' is a recording of Eric Hardiman (Rambutan, Burnt Hills, Tape Drift Records), Zoots Houston (Negative Raxxx, Rider/Horse, + many collabs), and Michael Potter improvising along with these full-Athens-unit samples, and to great success! Hardiman playing a heavily effected electric guitar provides the perfect counterpoint to Houston's intuitive, languidly melodic lap steel runs, all draped over beds of psychedelically-tinged noisescapes. The ending cosmic-industrial jam gradually descends into a pure and blissful chaos, the players all reaching various stages of Nirvana by the finish.
