Sales Information:

A1 Grand Central
The opener of Laminatʼs first ever artist EP seduces with delicate athmospheres, etheral
pad sounds and crispy drums, which were recorded seperatly on a 4 track Tascam
tapedeck. All field recordings for this track were done in New York – at Grand Central
Station, on the way to Conny Island and directly at the seashore at Conny Island.
A2 Windy Backyard
As the horizon darkens, human souls realize that they are not only dominated by
machines, but also by nature. In this tape-saturated, organic live jam every element is
carefully mixed and harmonically balanced: MFB 522 Drums, Microkorg XL and selected
samples are accompanied by field-recordings of hurricane sirens in Chicago.
A3 Eaves Gutter Drip
This moody little ambient piece with beautiful string sounds is based on vocals which
were recorded by the artist itself on a drive from Brooklyn to the airport. It marks the
transition to the B side by Laminat’s second alter ego “Kobermann”.
B1 Emphasis Chorus
With slighly distorted kick drums and gently arranged claps laid down on a mysterious
synth tapestry, Korgʼs ER 1 Drummachine is dominating this edgy track. A palette of
strange NASA sounds is giving this track its special deep space vibe. Surely you have
recognized the heavily treated voice samples of somebody speaking about her TV set.
B2 Blood Red Sunrise Behind My Back
Once again the ER-1 drum machine is in the focus of this laid back afterhours jam
session recorded directly on tape. The deconstructed vocal samples, where a well
respected american composer and theorist talks about his personal approach to sound
and space, award this track a certain psychedelic feeling. One for the deep moments.
B3 Cubbyhole
A table lamp was connected to the same circuit as the audio equipment. Consequenting
background noises enrich this outro piece with a dark and haunting atmosphere.
