The Gateway Tape: 07/18/2025 on Strategic Tape Reserve

[Phirnis @phirnis]

I wrote about Cut Hands and William Bennett's remarkable evolution from Whitehouse to his later rebranding as "Afro Noise" prducer and Boiler Room performer - in German. https://t.co/QTmWopLCAK

The track Exposure from The Gateway Tape on Strategic Tape Reserve is a collaboration between myself and my Australian friend HXDK, who gave me some recordings that he had made on a vintage Buchla synthesizer - pic taken from Wikimedia Commons.

Synchronizing Failure off The Gateway Tape combines a tempo-shifting synth organ loop with processed field recordings. Hidden inside is a sample from a 1970s German biker film. 🏍️

Brown Sugar - brilliant, brilliant album. Over the years it's become my favorite D'Angelo record, arguably one of the best-sounding productions of its entire decade. His passing is not easy to process.

There are two Phirnis live albums:

Live in Vienna was recorded at Noisecamp festival - Rhiz, Vienna, 08/18/2023: https://t.co/aWXjXBCbmd

Red Light w/ The Euphoric Hum was recorded at Phonophon - Institut für Neue Medien, Frankfurt, 03/14/2014: https://t.co/Vq1hHt4OnJ

Low Visibility Concerns, from The Gateway Tape on Strategic Tape Reserve, is mostly built from toy guitar and thumb piano. Guest musician Chorchill contributed some melodica lines to keep the whole thing from falling apart.

love to get notifications from @spotify about our "new release" that lead me to a totally fake AI generated track that someone has uploaded as if it was new Matmos music, featuring nonsensical AI generated "cover art"! Awesome platform!

Not only is Baltimora's Tarzan Boy an absolute classic, it is, by its own admission, a "Top Disco Hit". 🇮🇹

[Phirnis @phirnis]

Lovely memories of seeing Matmos this past summer at Fluc, Vienna. At one point they handed out instruments to the audience - my partner got a cowbell, which felt like a lot of responsibility.

Udo Dirkschneider (Accept) and his wife Elke, 1980s 🤘

Back in the mid-2000s we were promised a Nurse with Wound album with female rappers. Steven Stapleton was talking about this project all the time - and some of us are still waiting for the record to materialize.

I don't like autumn, but this October will be different - when alien mothership 3I/Atlas finally reveals itself to the world to the sound of a Blood Incantation ambient track.

[Phirnis @phirnis]

Anyone remember Brothomstates?

[Phirnis @phirnis]
