Major self-released collection of stray compilation tracks and unreleased material from one of the singular North American tape/electronic thinkers, Mr Jason Lescalleet. Hard to believe that this collection wasn’t conceived as a single work as it plays out beautifully, running from the kind of solitary tape drone that defined early Mirror through fucked-up radio interference and perforated silence to painfully high hallucinatory tone works that seem to consist of precisely nothing. Indeed, it’s hard to think of anyone else who can render the sound of nada with such physicality and make even the most barren sonic palette seem oddly expressive. This Is What I Do is a trip to the furthest extremes of sound and the kind of immersive sonic experience that is truly brain-bombing w/a set of headphones and that takes over whatever space it plays out in. Looks to be a great series but it’ll take a lot to top this one. Recommended!
