Deathprod - Treetop Drive (1994, Remastered 2017) [Hi-Res]

Originally released as a limited edition handmade cassette box, the three pieces of the work 'Treetop Drive' crystallised Deathprod’s specific method of composition, found sounds and textural layering. "Treetop Drive 1-3" were recorded live in concert in 1993, direct to two track DAT tape, at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Arts. They combine the precision of digital sampling, the unpredictability of homemade electronics, and the esoteric tape-echo sound of Hans Magnus Ryan (Motorpsycho)’s violin, defining a new space in which to perform and compose.

Existing in a void between the arts, contemporary music and alternative culture, the album 'Treetop Drive' was completed with the realization of the piece "Towboat," recorded at Audio Virus LAB in 1994, and released by the label Metal Art Disco later the same year. This audio restoration from an early 1994 master means the album has never sounded better.
