True, they don't play well with car CD players (but then those seem to be a disappearing phenomenon these days), but they're small and cute and put an even harder constraint on how much content you can sling around. Also, designing a physical artifact is something we've missed doing, so we gave into our crafting urges and made a small batch of these discs housed in vellum sleeves, because translucent paper is also underrepresented. * A tetraptych of miniature themes, atmospheres, and interludes. What, yet another project? While there is a previous entry in the Buddha On The Moon catalogue that roughly fits the pigeon hole of "short, electronic pieces" (re: buddhaonthemoon.bandcamp.com/album/cosmonauts), I feel the shorter pieces that comprise this release follow a different trajectory. The project name, The Adjunct Committee, is intended as a self-effacing homage to the menhirs dotting the hauntologic ordnance survey map, but I guess that's fairly obvious to the point of it seeming a pastiche. Following the playbook of a dear friend and sonic influence, I'd set some borders and constraints on how these pieces were created, with duration marking the primary boundaries. -=- SHGZ -=- -=-=-==-=-=- Dream Pop is a subgenre of alternative rock and neo-psychedelia that emphasizes atmosphere and sonic texture as much as pop melody. Common characteristics include breathy vocals, dense productions, and effects such as reverb, echo, tremolo, and chorus. It often overlaps with the related genre of shoegaze, and the two genre terms have at times been used interchangeably. ---==--==---
