Keith Moliné releasing album constructed from negative reviews and interview questions

Wire writer and Pere Ubu guitarist Keith Moliné is releasing an album on vacuum packed label Entr'acte, which contains two pieces. The first, "I Only Asked" uses questions asked in an interview to modulate various sound parameters (a version of which was performed at Cafe Oto in 2011). "Hatchet Job" is based around a computer speech recording of all the negative reviews Moliné has written for The Wire in the last ten years, which totals around 50,000 words. More details and sound samples here, and watch a video below:
