nfp-34 a handful of dust 'now gods, stand up for bastards / the philosophik mercury' 2xcd

now gods, stand up for bastards / the philosophik mercury is a double-disc re-issue of two limited and long out-of-print works by this obscure enigma. plunging straight into the chasm of ultra-minimalist abrasion and chaotic improv, these two records stand as unrelenting and engrossing epics of guitar feedback, disintegrating electronic sound, string-shredding violin abuse, and other facets of impassioned iconoclasm. recommended for lovers of amm, henry flynt, and hijokaidan.

a handful of dust are a group consisting of a core duo of bruce russell (the dead c) and alastair galbraith. formed in dunedin, new zealand in 1990.

alastair galbraith / matthew de gennaro “from the dark (south island) - long wires in dark museums vol.2” compact disc

  • archenar (19:49)
  • matariki (5:21)
  • orion (14:45)
had the pleasure of catching matthew’s intense solo organ/guitar/vocals set a few months back @ pa’s, where he handed me a copy of this fantastic disc of paul panhuysen-lineage long-string drones, as recorded at the dunedin public art gallery and the robert mcdougal gallery in new zealand... glad to finally have it in stock. the dead c’s bruce russell guests on the third piece...
xeric press release...
alastair galbraith is the glue that binds the new zealand underground. his work ranges from achingly lyrical violin for artists as disparate as peter jefferies and the bats, to the feedback squalls he conjures as member of a handful of dust, to the otherworldly miniatures he crafts for his own solo albums.

however, in recent years, galbraith, along with american matt de gennaro, has developed another remarkable performance idiom, one that is positioned closer to the sounding sculptures of harry bertoia. in from the dark (south island), architectural idiosyncrasies are transformed into nuanced and hypnotic audio. wires — some as long as 100 feet — are affixed throughout a building. when the wires are taut and stroked with rosined hands or a piece of leather, longitudinal vibrations are sent to the points of attachment, creating a natural resonator. it is not the wires that make the sound, but the wall, railing or window frames at their end; wire length and room acoustics determine the pitch. the result, achieved in a veil of total darkness, is a beauttiful and eerie confluence of chance and accident, architecture and improvisation. as galbraith puts it, "there is some quite magical feeling of communion turning the lights off and making the building sing."
