Hey!tonal
Hey!tonal
FEATURING MEMBERS OF STORM & STRESS, MAPS & ATLASES, JOAN OF ARC, SLEEPING PEOPLE, RUMAH SAKIT AND CHEVREUIL. Hey!Tonal is the first album by HEY!TONAL, a project helmed by the guitarists, multi-instrumentalists and sound designers Mitch Cheney (Rumah Sakit, Sweep the Leg Johnny) and Alan Mills (Chiisai-oto). Each member constructed the album instrument-by-instrument between 2006 and 2008 over a vast geographical area from NYC, Chicago, Florida, San Diego and Nantes in France. Main collaborators included Kevin Shea (Storm & Stress), Theo Katsaounis (Joan of Arc, Dead Rider), and Dave Davison (Maps & Atlases). Kenseth Thibideau (Rumah Sakit, Sleeping People) and Julien Fernandez (Chevreuil) joined the group for a song as well. In 2009 the album was released by Africantape on CD format; now, Hey!Tonal has been remastered by Carl Saff and pressed to vinyl for the first time. Hey!Tonal is the second under the Computer Students Anatomical Reissues series, which devotes aesthetic and analytical re-examination to existing works. The record is available on double white vinyl with all four sides running at 45 rpm, packaged in a superb gatefold cover complete with a massive poster, all housed in metallic packaging that reflects Computer Students futuristic ethos.
