Under her given name or her alias recovery girl, Ohio native galen tipton has released on Orange Milk Records, Deskpop, and Unseelie, collaborating with everyone from experimental music giants such as Giant Claw (of Death’s Dynamic Shroud) & Holly Waxwing, to underground pop icons like Lil Mariko & GFOTY. Whether it be pop, club, or sound collage her musical focus is finding the connective tissue between the challenging and the accessible, always with a strong sense of play.
Her work has gained the attention of Iggy Pop, David Byrne & Adult Swim, and has recently gone viral on Tik Tok for her “brain scratch” sound: a hyper-stimulating binaural blend of ASMR, IDM, and ambient. We sat down with Tipton in her community garden to pick her brain a bit about the sounds in her pack.
“I wanted to give people access to a lot of the ‘brain scratch’ sounds to make their own stimulating beats, collages and messes. Most ASMR is tactile and made from recording real physical objects, but I wanted to simulate that digitally using synthesis and physical modeling, as well as transform real ASMR field recordings into something very digital. I just want people to have fun with this pack and hope it encourages exploration deeper into weirder internet music.”
Full of head-swirling melodies, 3 dimensional 808s, 4 dimensional FX, and tingling textures in 360 degrees, brain scratches, a galen tipton moment, is available today on Splice.
