about

Tymbal is vibrating with joy at this bran(…)pos album, as the label's name came from his excitement at the sounds of late summer cicadas at Tymbal Tapes HQ in the midst of a tour several years ago. And his observations about the chickens in our backyard led to this proposal for a conceptual trilogy, laid out in pairs of pieces across three tapes:

I. Insects (whose drones fuel our emotions)
II. Chickens (whose feathers steal our dreams)
III. Chickens and Insects

"During daylight hours hens love to dine on tasty protein-rich insects. Grasshoppers, crickets, flies, spiders, ticks, and just about any other six- or eight-legged creature they catch becomes lunch. They even snatch flies out of the air and consider them tasty snacks.

But, come evening, the relationship between insects and chickens switches. When chickens hop up on their roost and settle in for the night they are vulnerable to pesky mosquitoes, black-flies, and various species of gnats. There are even reports of birds being killed by enormous swarms of black-flies…" --scoopfromthecoop.com
