Berlin Stories by Hardworking Families

Imaginary 7" Series #5

The fifth instalment in the Hardworking Families 'Imaginary 7" Series' is drawn from material recorded on a trip to Berlin in July 2016. Side A is mostly from a Hardworking Families performance at the Spektral-Raumohr sound art gallery, Side B is recordings from out and about. Material has since been edited, processed and reworked.

This is the fifth in the Hardworking Families 'Imaginary 7" Series'. An A-side and a B-side, short enough to fit on the two sides of a 7" vinyl record, but not destined to be pressed to physical wax any time soon. Remember to stand up in between the two sides.

"Abstracted sauces, performance as code, gristle, electronic manipulation and tape glitch." - Radio Free Midwich.

Hardworking Families is Tom Bench’s solo sound-play interrogation. Working with no-input mixer feedback, tapes, objects, and occasionally instruments, intuitive textural adventures will coax your ears with visceral flavours.
