MELISSA AUF DER MAUR Announces 'Bass Womb Room' Exhibition Soundtrack Featuring Previously Unreleased Music
The album combines seven unreleased 1990s demos with eight new interludes that will score her upcoming museum exhibition, the label said.
- Alt-Rock stalwart Melissa Auf der Maur announced 'Bass Womb Room: My '90s 4-Track Demos X Field Recordings,' her first new music in over 15 years, arriving September 4 via Envision Records.
- The compilation pairs seven vintage demos with eight new 'interludes' created for her museum exhibition 'Melissa Auf Der Maur: My '90s Rock Photographs,' opening September 2 at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
- Auf der Maur wrote the demos on a Tascam 4-track tape recorder in her living room during the 1990s, utilizing lo-fi pitch-shifting techniques to record streams of consciousness and diary entries.
- This release serves as a sonic companion to her 240-page photo book 'My '90s Rock Photographs,' launching September 8 and presenting more than 200 personal images from her time in Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins.
- Describing the project as 'bass forward,' Auf der Maur aims to ease back into sound through this 'audio journey' that scores the installation's mirror pyramid video surround.
