Wax Audio was born from the desire to squeeze back into the ether elements of absorbed mass-media, captured, transfigured and promulgated with hardware & software specifically designed to aid this practice, yet ironically made available with the legal obligation not to do so. (OK, coz its funny hearing George W Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard rapping in unison about how they're gonna find stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq when in fact they didn't. Hardy har har…)
Each piece represents a regurgitated manifestation of captured sounds (synchronously re-contextualised during their digestion phase in the belly of the Wax Audio hard-drive) mixed with recycled beats, original samples and a wealth of material taken from the digitized multi-track tapes of previously recorded works.
Wax Audio is the work of a dude called Tom Compagnoni, an independent recording artist based in Sydney, Australia. In addition to sourcing, editing and arranging the audio data for each piece, he plays guitar and percussion on many tracks. He has released two EPs in the last couple of years - WMD ...and other distractions and Mediacracy, and had his tunes heard all over the place.
