Back by Hardworking Families

All tracks constructed using live recordings as material. These were the first few Hardworking Families performances after live music came Back. A process of reducing, condensing and layering has resulted in the distilled pieces collected here.

1: Material recorded at Spirit of Gravity by Geoff Cheesemaster & TB, 2021
2: Material recorded at Whitstable Biennial by David Rogers, 2022
3: Material recorded at The Bee's Mouth by TB, 2022
4: Material recorded at The Rose Hill by Eyeless, 2021

"Abstracted sauces, performance as code, gristle, electronic manipulation and tape glitch." - Radio Free Midwich.

Hardworking Families is Tom Bench’s solo sound-play interrogation. Working with no-input mixer feedback, tapes, objects, and occasionally instruments, intuitive textural adventures will coax your ears with visceral flavours.
