Black Hat - Thought of Two [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Spread informally across underground networks, learned by hearing and watching one's influences in action, possessed of as many unique voices as artists - the experimental electronic and noise/drone movements constitute contemporary incarnations of "folk" music, with knobs, oscillators, and patch cables in the place of acoustic guitars and harmonicas. As these movements flourish and overlap, the music that Nelson Bean makes as Black Hat emerges as a bold addition to the expanding center of the Venn Diagram. Thought of Two, Bean's first full-length LP, features three mammoth compositions teeming with abstracted rhythms and alien tones. Composed with an intricate system of digital processes and synth hardware, the sessions captured here on record represent the culmination of the tonal explorations and structural decisions that Black Hat continues to fine-tune in his improvisation-infused live performances.
