A heaving tapework from UK outsider electronics artist Knifedoutofexistence. Four longform dirges (40 mins) work through the precariousness of the present, building a tapestry of saturated tone from the rubble of a year claimed by malady and malaise. In this dense work of searing noise, found sound and field recordings from the south coast are gnawed by corroded electronics and submerged in a whirring slipstream of cassette warble. Piercing tones stretch a present left fallow in the wake of pestilence; the hum and clatter of contracting domestic spaces collide with a spewing stream of consciousness, and the hiss of static claims what remains.

"I Find Myself Dwelling On The Sick" marks a cryptic entry into the post-industrial plague chronicles, documenting the dark interior of a year embalmed in sickness. Suffused with the faint traces of the ghosted histories stored in objects and places, the recordings are a multi-textured reflection on the present, in the form of billowing sonic exorcism. The material emerged from the same set of recordings as the "God Spits" cassette (Trust Collective), both functioning as an attempt to come to terms with the instability of a present ravaged by sickness and uncertainty.
