Translation from Unspecified is the debut collaboration between David Grubbs (Gastr del Sol) and Jan St. Werner (Mouse on Mars), featuring two distinct long-form pieces. Side A blends sound poetry and hyper-detailed electronics, with Grubbs reciting an open-ended poem over St. Werner’s AI-inspired soundscapes. Side B, Soixante Ooze, is a raw, live guitar-and-laptop improvisation that reshapes elements of the first piece into powerful sonic monoliths. This long-anticipated project highlights both artists' experimental roots and is a bold, boundary-pushing debut.
