The Concept |
||||||||||||||||
| A sprawling epic, Saint Valentines Porno Bar is a story of personal re-invention and inner revolution. It follows a journey of Ceasar, leaving his past in search of a new life. He travels until if finds a mystical place far from the plastic life and modern stress he has known. He descends into a world of decadence where he finally feels free enough to take off his social masks. Despite his apparent freedom in the world of depravity and temptation, he ultimately finds peace and happiness in the purity of nature. |

The Recordings |
||||||||||||||||
|
St. Valentine’s Porno Bar was recorded in a 500 year old Italian Villa in North Italy where P/ Mike III’s family has lived since the seventeenth century, a 13th century church and the canals of Venice. Hypnoise began recording in early October Days 2004 with Los Angeles based Producer, Ronan Chris Murphy. The album was recorded exclusively with analog devices like old tube Neumann mics, old tube tape machines, tube spring reverbs, tape delays, Italian Radios from 1935 etc to create a unique, coloured and warm sound as a reaction to plastic digital sound of modern recordings. The St. Valentine’s Porno Bar recording process has no digital contaminations; it is 100% analog.
The album was recorded on an 8 track analog recorder using only 4 microphones for the entire album.. |
