Messages: "Destination" (The Social Registry) Is a sound-art project that incorporates gliding tones and tension building atmospherics conjured up with a Gopihand (an Indian string instrument), guitar, keyboard, turntables, tone generator and sampler. One of those records that could easily dip below you radar unless you give it some concentrated listening. It'd actually make a nice companion piece to the Magnetize CD.The Social Club No. 3. Messages features Tres Warren from Psychic ills. 7” is limited to 750 copies and has beautiful letter-pressed artwork. This is the third release in The Social Registry’s ongoing series aptly titled The Social Club. Dispatched monthly via letter-pressed/limited edition 7-inch vinyl and digital distribution, this series presents a full musical array: the established and the obscured, the noisy and the delicate, the tempered and the experimental. The press release for The Social Club makes reference to these editions being akin to postcards, and this one is a postcard in the truest sense. It captures a moment and represents a place of sorts. If you walk down Canal Street on any given night, odds are you will hear the sound of Messages coming from a fifth floor walkup. If you stopped, you would hear it go on for hours and it would be the sound of Tres Warren (of Psychic Ills) and Taketo Shimada mashing sine waves, bass loops, guitars, samplers and turntables into a storm in between bouts of playing techno and psychedelic improve records. The resulting sound consists of slowly shifting repetitions, heavy monotone low end and smoky echoes that conjure unexpected subsonic grooves. This 7-inch collects two of these tracks and marks the duo’s debut release.
