Liner Notes by PEK
So here is an interesting story… Been planning a special edition of Metal Chaos Ensemble for a few months for when my old pal Space came for a visit last week to be called Space Metal Chaos Ensemble… Space and I used to make tape music in California in the 80s before I moved to the East Coast for Berklee… A week or so before he arrived, a Noise scene guy from the UK named Harsh Noise Movement reached out and asked if I would be interested in doing a split record and then releasing it on both our labels… Why not I thought? I do post on noise-oriented sites since some of the Evil Clown ensembles do contain a noise/electronic component to the sound… Maybe here is an opportunity to reach some people outside the improvisation scene… Most of our sets run 60 to 70 minutes and I didn’t really want to have a session for half a CDs worth of music, so I decided to do three pieces each about 30 minutes and put out a full Space Metal Chaos Ensemble set on Evil Clown (Electropositivity) as well as the split album (Electronegativity) on both labels…. Space and I spent the weekend and the first couple of days of the week before the session recording new samples and building 30+ minute Ableton mixes to accompany the improvisations… I got the track yesterday from HNM and finished production of the split album today…
