Samhain Slant Azimuth is a 50 track sound and music collage that was performed and mixed by Pre-Cert's Anworth Kirk and Demdike Stare between 23.30 and 00.39 on 31st October 2010 (Hallowe'en). Taped at a mutual domestic residence for the entertainment of family and friends, Pre-Cert have pressed a very limited amount of physical copies available exclusively here. Adhering to their Part Art/Part Trash research model, this 69 minute session delves into the macabre, combining the label's key influences including sound research libraries / V.H.S. video culture / electronic Folkways records / Germanic Kunstmärchen / Italian Fumetti / Indian Horror Films / sound poetry / tape manipulation / outsider art and field recordings to name just a few. Boasting the signature characteristics of Demdike Stare's vinyl trilogy and the newly released Anworth Kirk LP, 'Samhain Slant Azimuth' continues to give a stylistic nod to the folkloric/industrial landscape of the anti-labels local history while providing a glimpse at their soon to be revealed archive of disparate noise.
