about

Usphutorontus Deius Nissesubla
(I know not what it means, but I'm certain it's absolutely true.)

Directives’ first full-length album. A collection of varied experiments with guitar sounds and amorphous textural composition.

Demiurge. Divulgence. Dissection. Diversity. Dissemination.

D. Petri's work as Directives deals heavily with guitars, often lo-fi cassette recorded & put through (or alongside) hi-fi digital manipulation & editing software / equipment. Field recordings, other sounds and instruments are sometimes also at play. D. works in the duo Dog Hallucination since 2004, operates the Aubjects label and writes @ Petriblog as time allows.
