Third World Skull Candy is an occasional sound experiment in lo-fi, drone, noise, micromontage, acoustic pixilation, and the time-varying distribution of spectral energy, guided by Tom Philips's observation 'The sound in my life enlarges my prison'.

Street Sounds of Jakarta

​

Recorded over a one-year period on hand-held devices, every sound on this album was recorded live in Jakarta then mixed into collages. The result is an aural random walk through the city as it pulses to its own rhythms.
