(((Pruttipal))) - Patchblocks Against The Hijacked Arts

Edition of 27 lathe-cut 7" housed in a vellum envelope with transparent insert. The second collaboration of Goodiepal with the label owner, following release cassette on NQA's parent label, Baked Tapes, in Aug 2018.

All music is created with Patchblocks, a now-discontinued line of programmable mini-synth modules kickstarted in 2017 by a tiny startup from Northern Ireland.

—Eurorack is Currently a dangerous buisness…

TRUST ME, AS A FORMER HOBBY-
HOROLOGIST I KNOW PRETTY WELL WHAT
THIS WORLD IS UP TO…
TAKE THE ESSENTIAL W. YOU AND MOVE
UNDERGROUND…

From Bandcamp liner notes:

"PATCHBLOCKS AGAINST THE HIJACKED ARTS sees the potential for autonomous creation, in vein of Todd Barton's infamous Krell Patch, but democratized by leveraging fully-programmable consumer-grade electronics instead of more exclusive tools often associated with the class-hierarchies of Academia. 

Pruttipal calls to light that a number of larger holding companies and the manufacturers of the components that satiate the supply chains behind creative tools often utilized by artists, are actively engaged in financing of anti-immigrant lobbies and thereby using their revenues to aggressively participate in the oppression and suffering of thousands of humans currently in crisis in the EU."
