| | artist: to kill a petty bourgeoisie
title: the patron
catalog #: krank112
formats available: cd
release date: october 15, 2007
the patron is the debut full length release by to kill a petty bourgeoisie. the songs center around an underlying love story between two merging corporations that manage to capture the raw sentiment of isolation, profound discovery, and morbid betrayal. the patron is about the corruption of an idea that is at first welcomed and later destroyed.
the recording process typically began with a basic vocal and guitar structure which was then slowy developed by adding electronics and manipulating sounds, until the orignal outline is blurred yet still identifiable. the steady passing of sounds and samples are most important to tkapb's recording process, and they rely heavily on the loss of translation between each pass.
but the importance of the technical details of any sound recording should be considered infinitesimally small when measured against the end result. many sound artists have read both the pop and noise manifestoes and tried to join the two seemingly opposed theories into a cohesive whole, yet few have succeeded. invariably, the artist makes a conscious or subconscious decision to stand firmly in the one camp where their beliefs truly lie and to occasionally tip the cap to the other to remind both themselves and the listener of their original intent. what tkapb have produced however, is a near perfect storm of structure and chaos, melody and noise, the precise and the random, fused into their own unified musical theory of everything that at times soothes while simultaneously grabbing your throat. |
