Des Parasites Risquent de se Produire

Loren Boyer 

(Loren Boyer documents his work circa 1997, 98 with the 8 tracks of this 34 minute CD.)

The music is throbbing and ominous, subterranian and seditious, Orwellian and Kantian. It is sleepwalking at noon with civil defense sirens going off all around you.

In short, this music is disturbing. The likely parasites are mental in nature. 

I am not familiar with the artist.

The liner notes (written by Davey Williams and entitled "Spurious Adventures with Loren Boyer") aludes to his being a guitarist. I did not recognize any such instrument on this CD. Actually, the final track has something on it that sounds like a seriously detuned guitar.

He sounds like a sampling artist to me.

Perhaps he is more like an electic/electro accoustic artist. Maybe

this more like some kind of post-dub movement.

I heard no notes in the traditional sense here.

I do believe that this music is causing my cat to become confused and disoriented.

Good job!
