17.07.2017. A new release! “Wolf’s Fluid / Daytrip Express” – a split between Kryptogen Rundfunk and Hum in a form of a lathe-cut 7″ record limited to 33 copies.
“Two Russian projects reworking each other’s materials. Hum uses the archive live recordings of Kryptogen Rundfunk’s gig from 2006, made on a dictaphone with jammed tape. The result is a viscous boiling mass of sound of an unidentified origin… In return, Kryptogen Rundfunk creates an audio collage from old tape field recordings made by Hum, providing an eventful track with a plot leading nowhere… The artwork is made in the style of neat lo-fi fetishism. A lathe-cut 7” record with mono sound, covers made of translucent paper, an insert with information and download code.”
