about

I've been a fan of Ben McCarthy's work for years. I'm so glad he was able to submit today's drone alone drone. A textural, evolving piece, that brings to mind fancy words like: "susurrus", and "palimpsest". The piece doesn't hesitate to tense up just a bit and then offer calming respite.

Artist Bio:

Ben McCarthy is an electronic musician and sound artist from Toronto, Canada. Working fragments of field recording and broken melodies into music that slips in and out of generic idiom, McCarthy’s output is rangey and prolific. He recorded pop music as Pale Eyes, reaching the electronic top 10 on Earshot for his 2013 release sweatshop. His 2018 solo album little music spans blown-out dj ensembles, found sound ambient music, and texturally dense MPC-derived rhythms, moving from abstract figures and lush idiosyncratic timbres, to lurching beats and spiralling loops. McCarthy won the Dora award for Outstanding Sound Design and Composition in Independent Theatre in 2019. His work with art video game collective SpekWork has shown at the Venice Biennale, Amaze Berlin, and Mayworks’ Nightshift. While fist-poundingly anthemic in parts and soul-searchingly contemplative in others, the underlying goal of McCarthy’s music is to, as the Kafka adage proclaims, "break the frozen sea inside."
