Sent From My Telephone

Released

Noa Kurzweil (voice and music) and Levi Lanser (music) made these 110 tracks over the course of three years, sending them to Ziggy at Stroom as they went. (Kurzweil has released some bits under the name Supertalented, and Lanser has gone by Luddites). Lasting slightly less than five hours, Sent From My Telephone is exactly that—the sound of riding around town and listening to music and talking to your friends and thinking all through one device. The overall feel will be tagged repeatedly as ASMR and ambient, which isn’t 100% wrong, but it doesn’t capture the juicy range here. This is club music left in a thin takeout bag on a train platform, soundtracks copied out and replayed on a dot matrix printer, notation transmitted into space and captured by omnidirectional surveillance cams as heatmaps.
