The Marvellous Facsimile Machine

Liner Notes

#experimental #faxcore

It would be fair to say I'm not really taking this seriously this year. Had a horrible week which has cost me a small fortune. Ah well, it's only money (and countless hours of hard labour) 😩

Lyrics

Speaking over the telephone is great. But what if you could send paper documents as easily as you make a telephone call?

Well now you can, with the marvellous facsimile machine.

From California to Maine, every home should have one.

Sorry about your week! This is a fun track though, I'm so nostalgic for screeching phone lines and you've turned that lovely awful noise into quite the banger.

The most tuneful I ever heard a fax signal get! That little live drum break is chef's kiss, the end chop ups are amazing too. Sorry about your presumably enormous tax bill, reminds me of the fun text I got from the landlady putting up the rent by three times as much as she should. It would have been fine if I'd received it as a fax

If only it was a tax bill. Alas, stupid car problems 😫

I feel your pain, lost 60% of the value of our company in one bad day this week, the faces have been flying ever since! I really like how you have manipulated the fax noises to integrate them into the tune. Really nice job, very satisfying listen

Ahh sorry to hear about your bad week, I hope this one has been better. I've listened to this 3 times and penned a comment in mind each time, and I'm finally actually sharing it. It went: very good!

Ok, more than that. A real nice mix of 90s Warp Records sounds and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts sampling. Harmonically it's fairly straight forward, but the beat variations keeps it breathing and on a trajectory (rather than the more hypnotising Ambulancia.)

Excellent! I remember fax machines in my old office and would say "oh someone is faxing from the 1990s.

Amazing! I loved the dial-up samples and the ending where it gets all garbled. Such a danceable track, just picturing unwitting club-goers vibing and then paying attention to the samples and being like...uh what now?! hahah

[pic]

Agree with Jed, you gotta do more of this stuff, it’s incredible. Did you do this all on the Move?

[pic]

This is fantastic. I love everything about this! I think it was definitely worth it and I hope that your weeks to come improve! Very well done

The connection sound is so darn cool over the driving drums. Where do I get one of these.machines, they sound marvellous.

[pic]

This is my type of weird. When the drums came in chef's kiss. I like everything about this. Downloading.

oh wow that wub wub wub bass synth came in hard, bit of a jump scare, class though. That big metallic one note synth rhythm sounds great too. The vocal splicing at the end is cool. I feel like you should commit to doing an entire fawm based on building bangers around a repetitive sample based on these first two tracks.

Believe me, I’m considering it πŸ˜†
