LIBRARY CATALOG MUSIC SERIES: MUSIC FOR HYPNOTIZE

Jib Kidder is the performing moniker of Californian audio/visual artist?Sean Schuster-Craig. His 2008 debut, All on Yall (States Rights), fused?regional-rap idiosyncrasies with everyday sounds and otherworldly noise,?resulting in something too sincere and interested to be filed away as?mash-ups. Unusual tracks find unusual homes and like this AoY became?the inspiring stuff of Texas highschool pep rallies and network television?reality dance competitions. Meanwhile, the always-restless SSC wasted?no time exploring new forms, adding miniature guitar origami, frenetic youtube?splices, C&W vocal pop, digital dream re-enactments and slow drone?video meditations to his already head-scratcher oeuvre.?For his Library Catalog release, Jib Kidder limited his sound pallette to?the existing AK catalog, using only turntable manipulations, respatializing?effects (echo, reverb, EQ) and splicing to create new mood-based shorts.?As in the artist's past works, Music for Hypnotized Minds draws on the?dream-logic ideas of hybridization, dislocation & temporal simultaneity.?The results are the perfect record for meditation in motion like reflective,?solitary walking or summer highway cruising with loved ones.?TRACK LISTING?1. reflection - 3:10?2. mirage - 3:04?3. suspension 1 - 2:44?4. epiphany 1 - 2:06?5. cruising 1 - 2:56?6. recognition - 2:02?7. hypnotize - 2:04?8. blue - 2:22?9. together - 2:26?10. cruising 2 - 1:52?11. suspension 2 - 2:01?12. suspension 3 - 3:48?13. suspicion - 1:47?14. epiphany 2 - 2:25?15. suspense - 2:29
