Filter Feeder (E8) : Entr’acte

Filter Feeder
Feeding Frenzy
CD (E8)

A collection of works recorded over the past two years
by London-based Filter Feeder around a theme of media
distortion and propaganda, largely in reaction to cover-
age of the build-up to and eventual war in Iraq.

“Feeding Frenzy was a burst of energy triggered by
anger and disbelief at the so-called ‘War on Terror’ and
the mainstream media support for it. On reflection,
I think it’s a messy album in many ways but it felt like
an urgent response and events have hardly changed
to make me think that was an unreasonable feeling.
World leaders come and go but wars, exploitation and
inequality seem to be perennially maintained.
Simultaneously I was finding my way with electronic
music, having previously worked mainly with percussion
and turntables. Much of the album was made with field
recordings, a sampler, a drum machine and a couple of
effects units and processors. However, I had already
discovered a passion for collecting and experimenting
with analogue filters that in part led to the Filter Feeder
name — that, and the Chomsky quote included on the
CD insert.” — Julian Doyle
