AND, 3: Of Leeton



The third track on AND has been described as "Electro Black Flag" for infusing a punk-ish electronic track with cut-up lyrics. It was a Disquiet Junto exercise using William S. Burroughs as inspiration.

The lyrics came from a front page story in my local paper The Irrigator and, using a formula promoted by the Junto, arranged the text into a new shape. Using these words, I experimented with different backing tracks until the result seemed appropriate.

While it was recorded very quickly, the result has generated many positive comments. I've been thinking I should try an album of songs using this approach.
