about

Meret Oppenheim's famous fur-covered teacup (which I saw at MoMA last spring), to her, was kind of what "Creep" was to Thom Yorke: the random thing the artist was most known for and therefore loathed. Newsflash: Oppenheim also painted. I improvised this sound experiment while actually looking at her painting "Unidentified Objects."

I was attempting to tie together several influences with this one. It's a marriage of 1) the tremulous, degraded sound trademarks at the beginnings of vintage instructional or educational videos, 2) 1970s Sesame Street's more psychedelic animated offerings (I pictured the objects in the painting animated, moving around and rubbing on each other like unsettingly sensual slugs), and 3) a couple of Lynch's shorts (namely, "Six Figures Getting Sick," which probably informed more than one of the siren/alarm sounds on this EP, and "The Alphabet" - which goes back to that whole trippy instructional programming thing).
