about

"I thought you were an anchor in the drift of the world;
but no: there isn’t an anchor anywhere.
There isn’t an anchor in the drift of the world. Oh no.
I thought you were. Oh no. The drift of the world."
William Bronk – The World

*****

Released from Strategic Tape Reserve (Sant Pere De Ribes, Spain), profiled in The Wire magazine, and selected for The Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp June 2023.

SISTER TIME is a tape-work collaboration between Cutler now and herself as a child. All cassette samples are from mixtapes originally made by the artist in the late nineties on her first Hi-Fi (bought with the prize money from winning a children’s drawing competition). Between vaporwave and a child’s hyper-focus on a looped chorus, the album draws on growing up as a girl listening to a canon of male singers, bearing their souls against the ills of time.

Cutler’s practice is not just in the tape-stretching and manipulation, but also in the original heavy listening patterns and fascinations which produced these muffled elegies. The mixtapes and their psychedelic idealism-slash-existentialism were also resonant to revisit during lockdown years of lost time and losing touch.

Instruments beside tape include synth, hourglass, and a run-down VHS of The Land Before Time. For the full intended listening experience please use a cheap pair of headphones in the backseat of a car, bus, or in your bedroom.

TAKE WARNING RAIN - rain dance redux for the Anthropocene
by Amy Cutler

supported by 12 fans who also own “SISTER TIME”

Who could resist dancing in the acid rain while listening to this array of audio bonbons? If it is just on in the background while you are cleaning/changing the cat litter - you might be fooled into thinking you had a regular old radio station on - but then a closer listen opens your ears to the detuning and tempo shifting taking place that turns the "normal" into something a bit more "sick/wicked". Dig in and dance until your skin melts off! atmcgibbon

Everywhere, an empty bliss

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
