robert turman v. neon depth - polar envy - split - a soundesign -cass - 6$
The ninth tape in the ASR "Versus" split series is a disorienting voyage into the depths. On Side A Robert Turman (co-founder of NON and frequent collaborator with Aaron Dilloway) masterfully reassembles looped portions of Neon Depth. Robert creates a stark post-industrial nightmare with a bone chilling collision of siren and serenity. Side B is the original track that Robert used to construct "The Depth of Neon" with. "An Index of Right & Wrong" is an anxiety laden trip taken from a 2008 collab between John Ellitott (Outer Space) & David Russell (Collapsed Arc). Pro-dubbed cassettes graciously mastered by Wyatt Howland.
