about

Space travel, we all love it, it’s inviting, it’s magical, it’s repetitive and it’s fun, just like Duncan Moore’s sonic addition to the genre, “Magnetic Earth”. The journey traverses from the loud and exciting to more sparse and quiet, while consistently utilizing tightly wound synthetic ascending and descending pitched tones. Moore and his psykotic Baltimore band, Needle Gun, produced a visual (and sonic) space epic of their own, “The Kip Dupree Story”, which Moore expands on, with these laser and space ship-esque sounds. Blurry nuggets of noise and reverb laden shots appear to the left and right of the listener as the Navigator (track two) drives out of the A-side and onto the Magnetic Earth (track three). There are no lyrics on the tape and the sonic similarities to the sci-fi sound design canon are loose, the spacialization of the sounds only vaguely referencing the world of film. The audience is free to imagine whatever is intriguing at the given moment; the voyage has gone bad, the listener is an alien of sabotage, the ship has waged war on a peaceful alien planet and the listener is left behind the commands, or headphones, wondering how it got to this, or it is all just a linear-leaning electronic music composition. Spoiling an ending is never the intention, however, it can be said that there is a twist which invites inquiry into whatever happened to the last crew, and how their ship managed to keep record of their log, listen to find out!
