This is a piece off of a CD compilation of cat music that I was on, released in 2018 on the Chicago be label, No Part Of It.
It is a collection of artists from around the world with a theme of "experimental cat music," organized by Arvo Zylo. The album turned out great, and i definitely recommend it...you know, when you're in the mood for an hour plus of weird cat music, I guess.
My track was actually originally made as a sound piece companion for an animal-themed art opening in Cleveland at the Doubting Thomas from a pal, Jim Matzorkis, who commissioned me too do a dog in piece and a cat piece. The sculptures they were supposed to be encased in never were fully realized, for various reasons, and i had someweirdly themed pieces that i didn't really have a use for.
Fast forward a few years and Chicago noise freak Arvo Zylo puts out a call for some cat -themed experimental music and, voila, the rest is history. the track was a little long for a comp, but i told him i could edit it if he wanted. i never heard back so it was good enough i suppose! i get the near-end of the CD, as should be expected for submitting a lengthy track for a compilation.
The track is a weird combination of arturia minibrute, modular synthesizer and cat samples from a sound fx cd that i was scratching and messing up. perhaps someday a dog Compilation will find a home with its sister track??
It is available on streaming platforms, but here is a link to the entire album, available for download on the NO PART OF IT Bandcamp site, feel free to check it here:

i was excited that former REYNOLS member, Alan Courtis, was on it-as i am a big fan. Also, I really dig IRONING's abstract turntablism Christian Marclay-type stuff, so i was excited to see Andrew Chadwicks name on the comp as well. most of the other artists i was unfamiliar with, but that's doesn't make them any less exciting!
i know the art was all public domain stuff and is credited on the CD liner notes.
thanks for reading, i hope you liked my post!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
