" Membranes is a ghost record by Benjamin Brejon & Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, which is an unfinished non-record. We started it in 2007. And finished it a million times. But never really.
I found these mixes in a forgotten cloud and the cassette label "specific interest"decided to release them as they are. But it's just one version and one format. The principle of the dub is the spirit and the replicas. The spirit of a spirit. Substitutions. Not an original master. Remixes of a lost source. Like translating a non-native language into another language, passing things on to others;
This vinyl release is a Polaroid image of a zone of sound, rhythms, lyrics, dynamics of an unquantifiable or particular moment in history. It could have been recorded yesterday or tomorrow. Or not recorded at all. This mix has emerged from the abyss." (Benjamin Brejon)
The S|S vinyl master once again sheds new light on the sound of some of the mixes previously released on cassette. Mixes from a lost source emerge in new splendor from the abysses of sound.
