about
Single from upcoming album "Crimée No. 7".
This was a bit of an experiment--the track's audio is a palindrome (besides the very beginning and end), made by layering a track with its reverse. The name "Electric Telegraphy 24 May 1844" refers to the first telegraph sent over Samuel Morse's early telegraph system, the content of which was the message "What Hath God Wrought". Radio, the internet and this form of music distribution eventually follow from this transmission, so I wanted to juxtapose weathered quasi-religious media with some enigmatic futuristic sounding beat. Hope you enjoy
