Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at the forefront of sound-art and conceptual audio disruption, Andrew M. McKenzie's enigmatic project delivered an intensely uncomfortable and spatial drone suite. 'Mastery of Money' relies heavily on extreme low frequencies, subliminal field recordings, and meticulously sliced tape loops. The recording functions as a creeping, anxiety-inducing exercise in psychoacoustic manipulation and dark ambient minimalism.
