about

*While all my copies are gone, please note that Hominid Sounds still have some in stock over at their BC page: hominidsounds.bandcamp.com/album/carrier-waves

Slowly and deliberately turning the bakelite dial on an ancient cosmic radio, picking out abandoned exo-terrestrial numbers stations and gravitationally lensed alien ambience; eerie, modulated transmissions pulse in and out of existence, their decaying orbits smeared across a nebulous horizon.

"When dealing with the kinds of dizzyingly uncanny electronic sounds practiced by Dicker, it’s hard not to make room for comparisons to Leyland James Kirby, but Dicker’s approach seems to carve out its own space in this lane. Whereas the uncanniness in Kirby’s sounds comes from its critique of nostalgia in late modernity, the “temporal loop” of society and culture endlessly repeating itself, Dicker seems more interested with the realm beyond our culture and beyond our understanding. His work stems more from Eugene Thacker than it does Mark Fisher. It stimulates the imagination and allows us to open our brain to thinking beyond our lives and beyond our system." Adam Lehrer, The Quietus, April 2020
