Alive

Small Life Form started in 1998 as an experiment towards sound manipulation & attempts to recreate the styles of Gyorgy Ligeti & George Crumb. Starting off as a computer oriented manipulation in sound, 2003 marked a change from sounds created in a box to creating the sounds in the real air using effect pedals, microphones, & predominantly horns & organs for the debut album One. 2007 marked Small Life Form’s live debut & over the next year the style refined, abandoning real horns for a piece of copper pipe, replacing organs with melodica, & vocals with feedback manipulation. Alive is collected from two live recordings in 2008. They are massive structures built from scratch using a loop pedal, distortion pedals, & reverb units. Sit back & relax whether you think Small Life Form is the soundtrack to a world tearing apart or one that’s just forming. Menacing & soothing enough to hold you over.
