Stanford

Luke This album makes uncomfortable sounds very comfortable. Blazing sonic prowess cloaked in a high brow experimental approach, dares the listener to journey deeper than the bleakness of the theme, deeper than the processing of twisted and tortured sounds to a place of awe inspiring analogue wizardry. Wow!!!!!

about

Utilising an arsenal of vintage analogue equipment, coupled with modern production techniques, ‘Stanford’ takes us through those six days from the very start to its premature end. As its young subjects became increasingly traumatised and deranged day-by-day, the sense of fear and dread builds steadily from the percussive opening track throughout to the final ominous and brutal analogue-driven finale. Combining elements of classic horror film soundtracks, power electronics, and raw, improvised sounds and samples, ‘Stanford’ is the definitive aural statement of what took place in the basement of California’s Stanford University Psychology facility that fateful week.

Although now widely regarded as deeply unethical, along with other contemporary psychological experiments of the time such as Milgram, the six days of the Stanford Prison Experiment nonetheless offers chilling proof of how rapidly humans can descend into the darkest of states, both as oppressor and oppressed. The music on this record is inspired by the experience of all those who took part.
