about

A: Rest And Digest
B: Feed And Breed

“In the face of whatever it is that is breaking our names apart” – Sean Bonney

Score for as many players as you like – the recording is for nine.

Play any frequency between 264.94 Hz and 277.18 Hz, held, bent or gliding, between B3 and C#4 – hold this note for as long as your breath and/or heart permits. If you feel you are in the same heart or breath rhythm of another player, cluster with them, or squirm out from under or over them.

Imagine a pink nerve inside your gut going up into your lungs, into your heart, into your reptilian brain, back into your gut. Imagine the colour pink on the inside of this nerve.

Stop when you feel your pink nerve is sufficiently soothed into rest and digest.

Repeated Refusals
by Matthew Mullane

supported by 6 fans who also own “For The Vagus Nerve”

I thought Mullane was "merely" an excellent and innovative primitive guitarist, turns out he's also a tape-manipulating electronic wizard. Parts of this album remind me of Autechre. t-wazoo

supported by 6 fans who also own “For The Vagus Nerve”

I love it that I have to work myself through all thse layers of sounds and noises to get to the music - and of couse, these ARE the music. Listening to Philip Jeck's albums is challenging and at the same time utterly touching. And this fine collaboration is no exception. Sven
