Salt by Slow Clinic

'Salt' is the outcome of a morning experimenting with Himalayan rock salt as an alternative method of making and performing experimental guitar music. Avoiding the term 'prepared', small amounts of rock salt were poured onto the strings of an electric guitar tuned to Bsus4 through the usual chain of effects pedals.

I've been meaning to use salt as a method of performing for a long time, and finally decided to stop procrastinating and simply press record. 'Salt' is noisy, imperfect, and harsh at points, and has been mixed and mastered to retain the raw qualities of the materials used.

Slow Clinic is the recording and performance project of James Edward Armstrong. Now based in Farnham, UK, the project began during sleepless nights while living near Cardiff Bay. Music released on labels including Whitelabrecs, Courier, Cruel Nature, Elm Recordings, and Florina Cassettes.
