------------------------------------------------------------------

HEGEMONY is a mechanism of dominance, homogeneity and supremacy. It drives technologies of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, capitalism and religion to determine what Is and what Is Not. Obfuscation of language and information being among the most commonplace hegemonic devices, we therefore present here such a device as THE OBFUSCATOR, blending object and subject and the act of wielding power. Hidden inside the chassis of this particular unit however, the WENDY CARLOS SPRINGTIME RUNOFF is a thawing agent, showing a way out between cracks in the housing.

HEGEMONY features the work of Jud Crandall, Emily Saab and Stephanie Tierney aka Sister Skull. Tracked and produced between their studio space and home, and mastered at Monopolized Studio by Corey Bonnevie, it is built from components of dub, found sound and object, repeated patterns and sonic sheeting, to construct a kind of electroacoustic post-punk. With photography by Wren Crandall, HEGEMONY is released on a limited first run of 25 home-dubbed cassettes.

HEGEMONY is the first release from ongoing work that will yield Usse's debut album proper, FLOWERS FOR S. later in 2018. Following up last year's 231 singles compilation, FLOWERS FOR S. features contributions from Sister Skull, Wangled Teb, Papal Visit, Women Of The Pore and others.

Usse is a recording and sound-making effort, both improvised and composed, issued under the imprint EXTRA FINAL. Usse works out of Saint John, New Brunswick, at the Wolastoq River mouth.

Millions had been produced, although their purpose was hard to see. Later it was found that unusual objects could be made from them. ... more
