About
Say My Name's "Say My Name 2" is an orchestrated collage of psych-drums, soundtrack strings, microcassette samples and haunting arias held together by pasted layers of live instrumentation.
After burning ears with his 2010 debut EP, Say My Name spent a long Winter in Lawrence, Kansas, shacked up with a crate of warped vinyl, experimenting with the art of sampling.
Recording to Dictaphone and physically manipulating both record player and recording device, he built up a library of phantom fuzz and bent dollar-bin hooks. A skilled musician, he then spent months arranging guitars, percussion, piano, synths and hammond organ, playing with, and blurring the lines between, appropriated audio and inspired intervention.
A sweeping follow-up to his jam-packed EP, "Say My Name 2" is an album of eerie alchemy, a soundscapist's escape from the Kansas cold.
