Side B - WHALESHARKATTACKS - Entropy Beach
The natural choice of an artist for the B-side fell on Tony and I's mutual friend, musician Viviana Vega. After listening to Tony's mix on the rocky swells of Hvaler, I came to think about the time Viv and I went for a swim together between slippery peach colored rocks, the carpets of ever moving seaweed and aquatic fauna enveloping us. Vivi found time to make this mix after completing her second solo album and releasing projects with Ost & Kjeks and Metronomicon Audio. About the mix, she says: “The title ‘Entropy Beach’ came to me while thinking of my favourite seaside spot in Hvaler, imagining it evolve over millions of years through climate change and long after humans are gone. I wanted to make a mix that sounds mellow, nostalgic and aggressive at the same time. "Entropy Beach" can also be understood as an expansion of the soundscape of my upcoming album 'Music For Pink Nights' on Metronomicon Audio."
The mix consists of looped samples, some which are sung and layered, as well as of field recordings from her phone, instrumental versions of songs from "Music For Pink Nights" and some unreleased material. In addition to a few rips, she also got permission to premiere a song by friend and collaborator Martin Skjold, AKA Christmas Boy.
While patiently creating the mix, Whalesharkattacks experimented with broken tapes, youtube clips and recordings stretched and pitched, their respective sound qualities blending naturally within the reels of the analogue cassette and playing to the strengths and limitations of the medium.
