White Noise Carousel is the joint venture of Melbourne based composers, Nadav Rayman and Boyd Korab. Following a chance meeting at a university radio station, the collaboration was formed in 1994. At first focussing on live performance in the chillouts of the burgeoning Melbourne trance scene, composition for theatre, animation and installation has been their primary staple for the last few years. Iaminthedirectory represents a culmination of their recent work, fusing the textures of found sound, vintage electronics, a Roland sampler with faulty memory and occasional gestures towards jazz.
The album features the spoken word of Sam Sejavka, (notable for his portrayal by Michael Hutchence in the film Dogs in Space) an accomplished writer for theatre, who provides his unique brand of esoteric imagery.
