Kevin Novak of T.E.F.

Kevin Novak is a master of cut up harsh noise hailing from Texas, USA. Active since the late 90s, he has worked closely with labels such as Hospital Productions, Pitch Phase, and Dada Drumming, the latter of which has released his most recent masterful albums Framework and Wrought. Kevin joined me to talk about what he does, how, and even a bit of the "why?," touching on his history, recording and gear techniques, and even his other creative outlet, painting. T.E.F. is a personal favorite project of mine, so this interview meant a lot to me.

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. audio, Kevin goes into details about digital streaming, talks about his former label, making special handmade packaging, and reissues. Kevin has also graciously shared the audio file from his T.E.F release "Machination Of A Corner", released as a bizcard in 2002 on PACrec. Also, for those watching living, I’m giving away a copy of T.E.F. / A FAIL ASSOCIATION 7” (White Centipede Noise, 2019) with inverted colorway from the regular edition, riso printed by Tommy Carlsson. Edition 1 / 6 (the other 5 were packaged with the insane test pressing Texas flag edition) There will be a Patreon post as soon as the episode ends visible to all Heavy Sponsor / Noise Fiend Patreon supporters, and the first person to comment on the post wins this special 7".
