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 coverage
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
