Rush Falknor is a noise and experimental artist from Chicago, IL who is no stranger to the greater expanses of a sound art practice. With roots in the traditional harsh noise scene of North America, Rush's overarching sonic works have strong compositional elements that set him aside from the average noise maker and performer. "On Site & Out Of Mind In Tulsa, OK" is the embodiment of said form. Thoughtfully composed and texturally-centric, Rush's newest offering, and coincidentally, first ever LP release, blurs the lines between the grittiness of the DIY noise scene, and clean, formalness of gallery level sound art.

Distinct field recordings slowly degrade and collage in to crackles, pops, hissing, and blasts that are indiscernible from their original source. Cuts of silence throughout the piece emphasizes the distinct facets of each presented sound, and without any overwhelming moments of sonic chaos, the performance and composition retains a palatable, tastefulness that is so lacking in much of the heavily saturated genre of noise. The work is heavily stereophonic and listeners are immersed in its swelling and scraping as it moves around the room and shifts back and forth between the sonically abstract and processed to the recognizable sounds of the original field recordings rooted in our day-to-day urban realities. An audible work of art with sound collage leanings and an almost deconstructed, minimalist techno undercurrent, brought to listeners on a beautiful, limited run of LP records.

Limited run of 100 LP's co-released between Cult Love Sound Tapes and Peyote Tapes. Live recording of a 12/15/21 performance at Tulsa Artist Fellowship Flagship space for "The Mirror Spied Upon Us" gallery exhibit
