about

Meadow Argus
"This Old Rotten Barge"

Side A
1) And the whole string of barges rocked in the ooze
2) And the bellies of the old rafts pushed against each other
3) And the waterfront groaned and foamed around the edges
4) It'll heal over

Side B
1) Just like the skim that shines across the humps and the swells of the tide waters

Recorded August 4-14, 2021 in Ohio

Meadow Argus is the solo project of Tynan Krakoff. This album was made with a Magnus electric organ and tape loops sampled from field recordings, run through a delay pedal. The field recordings were cut up into a series of 2-5 second loops and multiple extra long tape loops stretching 5-10 feet across the attic.

Field recordings:
A1-3 recorded 8/4/21 on the banks of the Ohio River under a bridge on the Kentucky side of the KY/OH border
A4 recorded 8/12/21 in the hallway of a hospital while being wheeled to surgery
B1 recorded 8/4/21 inside an aquarium in Kentucky

A1-3 contains some a spooky backwards voice accidentally left on the recycled master tape and incorporated into the mix

Recorded and mixed to Tascam Portastudio 424mkII 4 track cassette
Mastered December 2021 by Michael Southard
Cassette pounches and insert by Pearl Morgan

Album and song titles taken from "Bound For Glory" by Woody Guthrie (1943)
