Includes unlimited streaming of The Things That Objects Can Tell Us About Ourselves
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
"To destroy objects has always been important in my work as a way to transform matter through very emotional and redeeming actions. The beauty of a broken object is only comparable with the beauty of the sounds product of this destruction." David Veléz .
This album is centred on Velez's teaching of foley, the art of sound design for film, and in particular the suggestion of fictions through the destruction of objects.
It is an album made from Veléz performances with objects and aims to convey catastrophic ambiences with destructive aftermaths.
Thanks to: Kate Carr and Monty Adkins
