Feature Creep by type/token

type/token’s fourth release for Traced Objects entails detailed and emotive digital synthesis works. Described as a process album, Matt Nelson the artist behind type/token, works in ways that can at times be in opposition with one another.

“two competing (but maybe also symbiotic) ways of working: one that uses linear timeline-based tools to meticulously arrange, layer, and adjust many different voices with a high level of detail, care, and self-criticism, over an extended period of time with many revisions.

Another that favors asynchronous improvisations that arise with little care and usually become nothing but sometimes coalesce into something- a little snapshot, and call it done”

I'm trying to simply use it as a tool to help locate the two opposing processes for creating "stuff" - one that fully embraces the inner feature creep and one that works to keep it at bay and just let things be.”

Label and press based in Portland Maine. Focused on contemporary sound across genre.
