Selected musical material by Edward Trethowan (usually as Net). Tampere, Finland.

Expressing electroacoustically some aesthetics and poetics of detritus, compost, undergrowth, and secretive wildlife in and out of water – plus a bit of inevitable personal narrative. Choral textures often find their way in as well.

On top of self-releasing, I've had things kindly released by Sounds Against Humanity, Rusted Tone Recordings, Verz, Whitelabrecs, Linear Obsessional and Kaukana Väjiyy Ambient. Meanwhile I run a split-release imprintlet called Bivalve.

Biofilm album cover

Being mainly slow, semi-autonomous sample scrubs subjected to delay-line degradation. The intention was to generate interesting textures evocative, even if only romantically, of organic environments. I left things running often, returning after a long interval to examine the results. Becuase of this and arbitrary features in the recordings themselves, they reminded me of complex, intimate microsound field recordings; the hydrophonics of the grubby brown brooks where I live, clogged as they are with leaves and slippery with biofilm.

Released by Sounds Against Humanity on digital and cassette formats.
