The last time we heard from Michael Haddon was in 2013 as a 19 year old music student and one half of the now defunct Cassetteworks. In that time, Haddon had been quite prolific on the music front, although until now, none of it has seen the light of day. His old Cassetteworks sparring partner, John Howes runs the Cong Burn Waves label and was recently sent a zip file from Haddon titled ‘Archive Of Possibilities’. The zip served as a document of his creative output during that time and will now form the release Auricular Palimpsest. We’ve been gifted “Polyhistor,” a gritty cut from the release which slowly unfolds from the static filled beginnings into a more graceful strut; topped with twisting pads and muted toms. Auricular Palimpsest will see release April 6 and can be pre-ordered here, with “Polyhistor” available for free below.
