about

In early 2020 preparations were being made to put together a Morse Code Band live set to play some shows in the spring and summer. In late February a few new pieces of necessary equipment were purchased and a "live set" workflow was established. As the calendar turned to March, the Pandemic swept through the US with lockdowns and stay at home orders the focus of MCB turned from outward to inward. Performing live sets with a new rig to an audience of no one became a coping mechanism to escape the eternal present. From March to July nearly 10 hours of material was captured live to tape and over the intervening months it was edited down to 50 minutes for this release. Various field recordings and other sound experiments have been interwoven with the live to tape material for a truly immersive experience.

Excerpts of "Home Extension" and "To The Core" were originally released in March & April on Bandcamp as limited digital releases. All other material is unreleased.
