In addition to engineering and producing the :spybey:theriault: cd, he also produced Spybey's debut Propeller album. :spybey:theriault: was recorded in Vancouver. It takes ideas common to Spybey's work (rough loops of sound made by bizarre instruments, fourth world chanting, stabs of discordant noise, drifting-uneasy drones) and creates pieces glued together with Theriault's sampling and production skills. Mark Spybey... "I've admired the many shapes of techno music for many years and have been excited by it's development. But.. and it's a big but, I long for something interesting to happen on top of the beats. I think this album manages to fuse together components of techno, isolationist (call it what you will) and fourth world musics. It, as ever, was unintentional. Most of my contributions were direct improvisations. Jean-Yves provided much of the structure." All copies
