An album made entirely from balloon noises

ANOTHER INCONSISTENT RELEASE FROM POINTY BIRD

Art Giraffefungal - Balloon Animals (CD album)

It's an album made entirely from balloon noises and it comes in a hand-painted cover. The album is now available to buy at http://www.bbiirrdd.fsnet.co.uk/artg.htm at GBP £8.50, which includes postage and packing to anywhere that accepts Paypal

Ordinary balloons have been hit, inflated, deflated, popped, rubbed, blown through etc. The resulting recordings have been processed, looped and sequenced into bizarre musical shapes.

Processing techniques are mainly pitch-shifting, spacial effects, variable loop positions, splicing and sequencing. Techniques that do not overly interfere with the original textures.

Limiting the sound source to a single non-musical instrument, Art Giraffefungal creates a wide variety of unfamiliar and abstract soundscapes and rhythms.

The animal related titles reflect the animalistic sounds of the grunting and squeaking balloons. "Experimental Mouse", in his lab, dwarfed by his giant ambient balloon machines. A balloon ant-eater snacks on balloon ants but his balloon teeth can't quite break their thin plastic skins, and the Monkeybatcow and the Body Pop Pelican perform grotesque hypnotizing tribal rituals to the beating of balloon drums...

Each front cover is individually painted by Art Giraffefungal. Acrylic and paint pen on colour laser print.

"BODY POP PELICAN" - THE MP3 SINGLE available for free download. Check our site.
