andy ortmann / ben vidaelectronic music” long playing record

october 2011 release ; one hell of a split lp, with a side each by nihilist’s andy ortmann & ben vida ...

andy’s side is a riotous set of short concrète takes, each rising in intensity & flair from the previous (shadows of the techniques used on his excellent “provocative electronics” lp on pan, yet even more fleshed out & bombastic) ... and while i’ve been known to hate on ben for being just so damned good with his current eurorack setup ; he’s just so damn good with it here, evidenced by the multi-tiered, constantly slip-sliding array of squiggly contemporary synthesis techniques that cross several imagined & real psycho-acoustic barriers, frequently landing inside your skull ...

nihilist (usa) #nihil 60 lp

cablesvariations on electronic forms” one-sided long playing record

  • variations on electronic forms (18:50)
2008 release ; stellar one-off collaboration between josephjoeraglani and andypanicsvilleortmann, merging their respective (and, frankly, formidable) modular synthesizer chops into a coherent whole that takes in everything from the most prized/alien electronic library sides, pre-synth hacked oscillator sci-fi film score work, and industrial era gristle ...

one-sided lp offers a single, constantly morphing blast of uneasy sonics ; wrapped neatly in a black paste-on jacket (with a full, two-column libretto & concept-through-execution plan that harkens back to the nonesuch layout-aesthetic) inside a striking screen-printed picture-disc sleeve (ala the pan-label lps from a few years back) ...

miniscule edition, of which the last remaining copies are now available via mms ; highly recommended !!!

andy ortmann/john wiese
recorder out of tune cd (2006)

totally weird and harsh collaboration from these two ex-st.louisans. collage, electronics, ambient-soundscapes are only the beginning of this monstrous release. this album truly exemplifies the communicative skills from these long time collaborateurs. essential!

pan (greece) #pan 02 lp

andy ortmannprovocative electronics” long playing record

  • study in decomposition (10:24)
  • seeds of doom (8:44)

  • variations on a bird in a box (10:19)
  • force of forms (8:15)
late 2008 release ; second edition from pan, this time from andypanicsvilleortmann ...

caught wind of this a few months back when andy posted this news-blurb on the nihilist site ::

in other news, the new andy ortmann lp (provocative electronics) is to be released on bill kouligas' (sudden infant, family battle snake) label mid june 2007. this album focuses my obsession with 60's-70's style of electronic music. there are a wide array of analog and modular synthesizers used on this record (for fans of the creel pone label, etc.)

... naturally, anything influenced by mr. p.c. c.p.’s curatorial sensibilities was going to me up mms’ stylistic alley ; andy’s channeling of the early electronic music spec is spot-on, ranging from bleep-heavy modular synth work (listen to the sound-sample) to more plaintive takes of long-tone drama ... highly recommended !!!

andy ortmann 'provocative electronics' lp (pan 2)

'provocative electronics' is an exploration in analog synthesizers and recording techniques. as in the days of musique concrete and the beginning years of synthesizer development ortmann experiments with tones and his own brand of electronic tweakage. provocative electronics is not a homage, but yet another document in the ongoing history of electronic music. for fans of the 20th century greek composer xenakis, minimalist john cage, or pioneer of musique concrete pierre schaeffer, mort garson, milton babbitt, tom dissevelt, ruth white, delia derbyshire, lejaren hiller, raymond scott, jean jacques perrey and pierre schaeffer.

andy ortmann is also known for his work with the transgressive experimental group panicsville, psych freaks plastic crimewave sound and sole curator of the equally bizarre nihilist records label (usa).

the lp is mastered and cut by rashad becker in a limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. it is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a two-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with interweaving geometric designs.
