title: special tour consideration release

"
Working under the inclusive category of experimental noise, chefkirk creates distinctive compositions of sound by combining together improvised drone and harsh electronics forced from a minimal arsenal of the no-input mixing board and sampler. chefkirk makes his music in North America. chefkirk is Roger H. Smith (b. 1976 U.S.A.). Smith utilizes the no-input mixing board as his main instrument, along with a sampler, and two effects pedals. It is this minimal setup that forces Smith to fully explore the realms and possibilities of the no-input mixing technique. Smith calls on the influences of his everyday environment. The sounds that exist in the cracks of everyday life: the breaking of Atlantic surf on a deserted stretch of North Carolina coastline, the cicadas’ harsh call on humid summer nights in the South, the distant horn of a shipping barge on the Mississippi mixed with the broken glass of Bourbon Street, or the wind whistling through the mighty Douglas Fir trees of the Pacific Northwest.
Smith gives life to the electrical current trapped inside the mixing board’s circuits, allowing the signal to jump, sputter, and spit forth from the speakers to captivate and immobilize the listener.
Smith started chefkirk in 2003 as an experimental noise project. After many cd-r and netlabel releases, both solo and in collaboration, nationally and internationally, he started to work exclusively with the no-input mixing board and sampler in 2007.
Beyond chefkirk, Smith is also in the no-input mixing duo Insects with Tits w/Kenneth Yates (Caustic Castle) and solo as _whALe_pLAtE_, working exclusively with the computer and the limits of the 64KBPS. mp3 file. In 2009 Smith started the free netlabel Control Valve, showcasing new and exciting experimental audio in high quality 320KBPS. mp3 format."
