NINE INCH NAILS [WITH_TEETH]

(2005)

recombinance (2004). Early works with DV data corruption, 20 years ago. As I mentioned in a recent post about NIN’s 2002 And All That Could Have Been DVD, I became during the creation of that film fascinated with the aesthetics of Y2K-era consumer digital video. I was drawn to the uniquely chunky corruption blocks that occurred on lightly-damaged DV tapes, how they were sparse and sometimes gentle in nature.

I filmed some soft gradients, some out-of-focus landscapes and other smooth organic surfaces, and then damaged the tapes (wrinkling the tape, applying magnets/heat, just enough to disrupt the data but still let the tape pass through), seeking the right balance where the harsh digital corruption disrupted and contradicted the soft backdrop while also at times trying to become part of it.

It’s how things felt in the post-millennium migration to all-things-digital, like our old organic analog world was fading out of focus as more of it became rapidly mass-digitized, encoded, and compressed down into tiny efficient grids that more or less replicated what we were at the expense of all the complicated gradients of humanity in between.

Harsh DV data glitches and video interlacing against soft organic textures would form much of the inspiration and methodology of my NIN With Teeth album art in the latter part of 2004 and early 2005.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WITH TEETH BY NIN!!!

Happy 19th birthday to With Teeth! Only until next year, and this album is 20 years old!

Now I have a lot of praise and appreciation for this album, as I do all NIN albums. It took me a while to get into this album, but one of the first songs I'd actually liked by them was Only. I was weird two years ago, I didn't like NIN at all, and I couldn't stand them untill warframe--but that's a story for another time.

With Teeth is a truly remarkable album, and in my opinio, one of the greatest theyve ever made. There's a lot of hooks, like the transition from upbeat and poppy All The Love In The World to the--chaotic You Know What You Are? It's all amazing, really. I think my favorite track on this album is Sunspots, I just think it's quite phenomenal.

But yeah, truly great album. Go take a listen if you haven't. It's a true experience top to bottom.
