Audiobulb & Friends Play He Can Jog - Vol 2
There are some very limited handmade cassettes available of volume 1 & 2. Visit -
hecanjog.com/play/ to purchase a cassette - each comes with a bandcamp download code.
These tapes are a collection of new and old music by folks close to the Audiobulb family. Some were commissioned for this project specially and some were produced over the years in other contexts now collected and remastered here.

Most recently I invited some friends and Audiobulb at large to have at a data dump of renders, stems and alternate takes. %*^%^&
%&^%*&%^*&$^*&%$(&$^
Quite a number of pieces feature %*(^%^&$ procedurally folded trumpet recordings $*&$&*^% from a segment of the EP "it's / a / hoot / to / mix / and / match".
I had such plans for those trumpets but they never really materialized in "hoot". I'm really delighted that they've taken on a new life R&*^$*&%$*&$
%^&$&*$&
Many of these pieces use none of those recordings. Like Bryan Teoh's haunting arrangement of "We All Have Hot Chocolate Tummies and Frozen Faces" for multitracked viola de gamba.

Anura and Nomad Palace also composed their contributions from the ground up, reworking two different movements from $&^$^%$* middlemarch. ^%*&%*(%*(% On guitar in Anura's case and accordion / melodica in Nomad Palaces'.
^(*%*(%% These tracks recompose the material so extensively it's a matter of trivia to note what sounds were sourced in the process.
To me these tracks ^(*%&^%(*% the %(*&%*(ality of %*^&%*&^% in sound -- the potential of scraps and detrius to GJYTkj%^ %^I* $*&&%$*&$ is enough.
What is enoughhhh?
This collection is for Louis. <3
