about

"An incredibly diverse musician, Patrick Hargon has a unique gift for embracing melody and melancholy even at his most experimental moments, a sort of Americana-in-abstraction. The pieces gathered here introduce the purity of beautiful fretted string work to surrealist mirrors of granular manipulation, revealing fresh sounds within familiar sources. Horizontal rays of performance intersect with the confident verticality of composition, unveiling a new kind of fractal soundscape we hope you’ll enjoy visiting. Welcome to Thenland."

released July 15, 2017

Recorded April-May 2017. Guitars, some keys, and two essential pieces of groundbreaking technology: the 856 for Zellersasn (Montreal Assembly) and the Infinite Jets (Hologram Electronics). The first takes short musical phrases and allows bottomless exploration of that sound’s interior universe. The permutations and recreations of the original sound are infinite. The second “remembers” a sound and replays reconfigured particles of that memory. This is the sound sounds make, double-helices sprawling and unfurling—the music inside.

Bio:
Patrick Hargon has played with many bands, oh god, so many, including several improv ensembles in the early 90's featuring restless North Louisiana musicians unencumbered by any particular tradition, including many proto-Elephant-6 musicians. He toured extensively with The Sunshine Fix, an E6 band, performing sound collages and live manipulations of instruments from speakers set up in the back corners of venues. In Athens, GA, he made several raw & energetic folk rock records with Don Chambers + Goat and toured internationally playing lead guitar for singing storyteller Jim White. He currently lives in Kearney, NE playing baritone guitar and pedal steel in Eddymink (whose "Open Container Heart Surgery" LP is forthcoming), remotely collaborating with the brilliant Vincent Littlehat, and spelunking the depths of intramusical space opened by granular sample manipulation. Inside of every recorded sound, there are infinitely more sounds. "Thenland" is his first solo release, and his first foray into SPLICEROCK, the sound of sounds recombined.

Thanks:
Above all, deepest gratitude goes to Nora Ryman Hargon for continually amazing me by reconfiguring the world, either through your surreal animations or through your fierce independence of mind and being. I love watching you create a place for yourself in a world that may never be ready for you. Endless thanks to Erin Hargon for taking care of and bringing joy to anyone who is lucky enough to be close to you.
