Snekhoose

Snekhoose is a collaborative project between Jonah Hebron (aka Mzungu, Cacero Lazo) and Rupert Spurrier. Conceived of as a blend between folk and drone, the forthcoming debut EP Oscar Pray for Oscar the Dog treads the line between electronic and traditional music. The manner in which the music has been created is unique. The instruments used in the album, an acoustic guitar and a Microkorg, are treated in the manner of musique concrete – as samples to be broken apart, split and assembled. As the artists live in separate cities, York and Edinburgh respectively, this manipulation was present at a digital level as the files were passed to and fro, each artist adding layers of sound on top of the others. These pieces were then supplemented by snippets of live performance recordings.
