Hyphae was recorded live at the Sound Anatomy concert series in Berlin and marks the debut release from a duet exploring sound, noise and electronics from two rather different aesthetics and technologies, Scott focussed on a visceral approach to analogue and modular synthesizers and Zapparoli performing using an impressive table full of vintage analogue tape machines and field recordings. The dialogue they discover together is fertile, intense and surprising, discovering many different directions and possibilities: a very open music, excluding nothing in its conversation. What the two seem to share is a desire even in the most noisy and abstract contexts to find narrative, dialogue, consequence and coherence

The album title is inspired by the artwork from Jane Lawson, based on her installation in which fungi slowly consume the decaying founding texts of Neo-liberalism. The cover features mushroom devouring a copy of Adam Smith’s economic text Wealth of Nations.
