about

in 2015, jim haynes accepted a residency at moks in the village of mooste, estonia to collaborate and contribute to simon whetham’s active crossover series. for this particular incarnation of active crossover, well over a dozen international artists were invited to this region of estonia to collect field recordings and engage in a cross-pollination of ideas, strategies, and concepts that spawned from those recordings. the refuse from soviet-era industrial farming complexes, the droned blur of aeolian harps, massive oil tanks, and the torrent of noise from the arctic wind ripping through an empty water tower -- these were some of the sites that this chapter of active crossover archived, with each participant encouraged to trawl through the archives in use of composition, performance, installation, etc.

throttle & calibration is the first in a series of albums that find haynes digging through the active crossover archive and grotesquely exaggerating the details into exploded compositions of volatile dynamics, nerve-exposed dissonance, caustic shortwave signal abuse, and a considerable amount of scarred metal. marked as one of the more discordant works to date in haynes’ career, throttle & calibration finds company near the atonal, muscular compositions from hermann nitsch and the sour, industrial collages that pock the nurse with wound catalogue.
