about

This release is the result of a tired slip of the tongue as I left the Tor Fest: Experimental Yorkshire all-dayer back in July. As I was going to miss yol’s set I asked him if he wouldn’t mind sending me the words and/or any recording made. Instead of saying ‘I’ll send you something in reply’ I accidentally said ‘I’ll send you something in reverse’ so I had that in mind when he came good and sent both.

During a lunch break I made recordings with my ‘phone in a café, one straightforward (TOR), another (ROT) in reverse order and reading the actual words backwards too (not mimicking what it sounds like to play a tape in reverse, just saying the letters/syllables in reverse order).

I then discovered I had a speech-to-text function as part of the Dictaphone app on my phone which, to my delight, transcribed them (plus a third recording made in the same ‘session’) as follows:

“Call chunky's in pejoratives waiting to school outside the casino to allow recording baskers measured 116 from cloud coiling in aloud factory for scratchings movie visual axis of prose helicopter the sound of Yorkshire this is that through the window of a beat-up car on top of the dashboard a book of the tales of recipe's delete 5 looking frantically for the perfect give to express this.

Me reading this sat on the kitchen floor is ORT and DISHWASHER PROSE is a see monsd mix of that track.

yol’s full performance comprises the final track – no apologies for the crazy levels on the recording, it’s fucking wild – and his words are included as a bonus item.
