Hal Hutchinson - Corrupted Scrap
Review by Zeeshan Majid
Corrupted Scrap, the latest album by Hal Hutchinson, is a powerful and intense exploration of noise and experimental music. The album features a variety of harsh and abrasive sounds, ranging from distorted guitar riffs to pounding percussion and screeching electronic feedback. Hutchinson's use of repetition and layering creates a hypnotic and disorienting effect, drawing the listener into a world of chaotic soundscapes.
Despite its aggressive sound, Corrupted Scrap is also a deeply immersive and rewarding listening experience. The album's tracks are carefully constructed and arranged, with each sound and texture contributing to a larger sonic tapestry. Hutchinson's skillful use of dynamics and pacing keeps the listener engaged throughout, never allowing the music to become monotonous or overwhelming.

Notes
- Silkscreened b/w cover and insert. Edition of 143 copies.
- 'Corrupted Scrap' consists of two live in studio scrap metal recordings that utilise an approach called 'Factory of Metal Sound'. This new technique allows for the recordist to assemble a sonic machine using the unwanted industrial products.
- Taking a form of sound recording that has always been essentially 'free form' and 'open', this approach replaces structure in the existence of the objects being used, and therefore gives them back their original purpose and factory made objects.
- Layering the sound of each object (chains, nails, barrels, pipes, sheet metal, etc) a territory is created that can be expanded upon and explored.
- These recordings represent the progress that had to be made with regard to recording scrap metal sound. They create an approach that is truly experimental in nature and not simply mere imitation. These recordings aspire to something beyond that which was inherited.
