Text of the flyer:

"Introducing Jack: Jack is a noise farmer. Jack started life in a field living with a 7 tonne truck containing a small but modest electronic sound creation and research centre. Jack was happy, life was simple: life was about dividing his time between soaking up the sun's rays, communing with nature, and devising new arrangements of beats and sonic pulses to satisfy the x hundred or so people he would go to visit in a secret location every other weekend. Oh those were the days: untainted tribal pleasures in a place where cultural barriers didn't exist. Concepts like fashion and politics were laughed in the face at, and the long arm of the law, and the teeth of the mass media were stil far far away...
then came the great change.

Some would say it started with the internet, a few would surmise that the collapse of the twin towers was at fault, others would blame it simply on a shift in the generation gap but all of the above are sure as hell that it has happened: the transformation from a zone of total autonomy to an exact replica of the world's economy at large only dressed in dirt and muddy boots rather than suits and ties. The numbers grew; sound systems and tribes lost their meaning as the public who represented them took to being tourists wandering between the overwhelming amounts of dancefloors and stages scattered across the landscape. The smiles disappeared from the people's faces replaced by a grinding of teeth and a rolling of eyes. Those who manned their posts around the rig living only in the clothes they stood up in looked on dismayed as expensive designer reproductions of themselves trudged into view - a new order, a modern techno public hell bent on mass consumption of the sub standard drugs that were at this moment proliferating and polluting the entire surface of the techno village, site after site, party after party.

Unable to handle the pace, Jack left his truck in the incapable hands of an unknown group of party makers, and took to sedentary life, residing in many different cities Europe wide, each one having its own brand of curse that eventually forced jack to leave, year by year. His sonic experimentations while greatly appreciated by members of the "old school" just simply had no effect on this new wave of young consumerists, who, having destroyed their capability of hearing many months ago react only to the bass drum, harder and faster as time goes on. These recordings are a reflection upon what jack sees as possibly the end of one golden era, and the beginning of a much darker one, one in which many are forced to go against their will for the sake of survival.

The world has become a battery farm, ladies and gentlemen, we give you... Intensive Noise Farming
