about

Sound In Silence is thrilled to welcome back Sweeney, presenting his new album Corporeal.

For over twenty years Jason Sweeney, based on Kaurna Country in South Australia, has been composing and recording either solo under his own name, in various electronic bands (Other People’s Children, Pretty Boy Crossover) and under the composer alias of Panoptique Electrical.

Corporeal, Sweeney’s fifth full-length album under his own name, is an album about personal ghosts. It consists of 18 tracks, carefully mastered by George Mastrokostas (Absent Without Leave), with a total duration of 58 minutes. For this album Sweeney started working with paranormal audio investigation tools such as a Spirit Box, the GhostTube apps, electronic voice phenomena and other immersive techniques in order to generate sound and lyrics. Using all of this raw paranormal material he then set about composing tracks using various electronic instruments such as vinyl and turntables, a bass guitar, old microphones, a VoiceBox pedal, a 10 track mixing desk with in-built effects, drum machines, a Nord synth, then he put it all into a SP404A Roland sampler and pressed record.

In Sweeney's words:
The 18 tracks on this album span songs, soundscapes and spoken word interludes. The lead track introduces the listener to the idea of the fragility and performativity of the corporeal body. One day we will all be dust. Maybe the bones remain? So then, who am I performing for in life? Who is my audience? Was I always haunted, even before I emerged as a sentient being into the world?
Singing as if from the paranormal beyond. Singing back to the shape of a former queer self, aged beyond recognition, another life lived in the shadows of one’s personal ghosts. Now walking through life devoid of corporeal matter. These days it’s just me and my spirit box.

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 260 gsm dark grey recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and two insert sheets containing tracklist, information and lyrics printed on a 120 gsm smoky grey recycled cardboard.
