about

"The Jagged Dog" is type/token's second release on Traced Objects and finds them working with a looser, more texture based palette. Each track contains the signature sounds of type/token, sequenced synths layered across one another, looping sampled ambience, melodic pads and drones. "The Jagged Dog" introduces imperfect subtleties as well, soft and peaking distortion, digital clicks, the presence of the inherent noise in creating music like this.

Matt Nelson took inspiration for the albums title from David Toop's book- "Sinister Resonance."

"I've focused much more over the past little while on developing texture, rather than structure."

"Toop talks about finding 'pleasure in technological imperfections' and 'engagement with the noise that exists at all levels of the dynamic spectrum'. He writes about the relationship between sound and touch/texture, providing this quote from Walter Benjamin during a drug-induced 'experiment':

"A dog barks. Test subject speaks of a jagged dog and explains barking as an acoustic serration. The jagged dog is contrasted with the polished dog - that is, the quiet dog."

I heard this album for the first time right after my Father had passed and am forever grateful it entered my life. Aside from the deep emotional connection, musically, this is one of the most creative albums I've heard. Each track is another world and pushes the meaning "Banjo player" in a new direction! realhdna

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
