Synthtopia today interviews
NYC multimedia artist Jessica Vale, creator of The Sex Album —
recorded sounds of people having sex manipulated into electronica with
vocals by Bale on top (pun intended).
So how's the album?
Well, while some of the found sounds are recognizable, others get
mashed into undistinguished digital mush, so with the addition of
spoken word narration the result seems a bit like a XXX-rated Laurie
Anderson. That said, how can you entirely fault an album that samples
S&M paddling for beats and uses electret condenser mics for body
cavities?
Maybe I should rethink the mic placement how-tos in my upcoming book.
