Scott Moore Slow Motion Pictures

Scott Moore debuted a live set in early 2016 and quickly took to the studio to capture five of his compositions on analogue tape. The medium complements the sound, with its rich palette of strident rhythms, rubbery synths, and Pro One squelch snaking through a murky textured haze. The choices of gear, sonic approach and composition reflect the clear connection of elemental breakdown paralleled in punk rock, industrial music, and disco. There’s a thick layer of crud on the lens these cuts are viewed through, making mystery and discomfort equal in their influence. In fact, the direction of this record was crystallized in the post-traumatic medication of a severely broken leg, as suggested by some of the titles. In that regard, Slow Motion Pictures was both therapeutic and ritualistic in execution.
Recorded on 24-track tape by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden Studio in San Jose, the 5 tracks were performed live, with a multi-track approach allowing for refinement of sound. Moore's live to board mixing and minimal post-production soundtreatment have produced an artifact that conjures the feel of his live PA performances.
Scott Moore is based in San Francisco, and is the guitarist in long-running influential hardcore band Limp Wrist , and in thedreamy dark unsettled punk and angular pop group Flesh World - both of whom are also about to release new albums. As anelectronic artist, he is one half of electro-collagist duo Concrete Island , and half of the oscillator-and-drum-machine trippingimprov duo Election Day .
The album features art by San Francisco artist and musician Marc Manning.
