Magicicada is the long-running noise-drone-collage project of Chris White, an unhingedauteur based south of the Mason-Dixon, where experimental music belies any contextualcues, be it cultural, contextual, temporal, or geographic. Given a cursory glance,Magicicada's aural circumstances are a grotesque display of absurdist technique andfrazzled mania, but give the hit a chance to permeate your system and see the biggerpicture: everything is here for a reason. The 1.5-decade-young project has seen White deploy experimental distribution methods (hiding editions in Tower Records CD bins, newspaper stands, and public restrooms or taped to the sides of buildings with a phone number that went directly to an answering machine, whose messages later appeared as source material for other recordings) and listener participation extremes (hiding clues and interactive maps around Atlanta for listeners to experience sound with their own devices. These artfully guerrilla techniques culminated in 2006 with the release of Magicicada's psych-electro-ambient masterpiece,Everyone is Everyone, issued via Public Guilt.
