- angst hase pfeffer nase - journey to the center of something or other
| december 2008 release ; knock-your-socks-off split, offering a pair of action-oriented pieces by bhob rainey (clanking auto-feedback fizzle suddenly jumping about 12db into a swarm of buzzing time-stretch screech & spectral transmog grappling) and chris cooper (super burnt pause-button tape collage with the kind of synth / squeal moves more commonly associated with the ina-grm posse - listen to the sound-sample) ...
years-in-the-making (vaguely remember hearing rumor of this record’s pending existence back in 2007) ; glad it turned out so nicely !!! a perfect way to introduce yourselves to either’s work ... |

| bhob rainey - ain’t it grand
angst hase pfeffer nase - journey to the center of something or other
split 7-inch record (sed07002)
limited to 350 copies
artwork by jess goddard
proposed for sedimental as a glorious masquerade by boston based by bhob rainey (bsc, nmperign, and infinite collaborative scenarios) and including the opportunity to also release solo work by western, ma’s chris cooper (fat worm of error, xo4, buddies, bsc, etc.) in his angst hase pfeffer nase guise proved too devastating a proposition to avoid. so we did not…avoid it.
here we have a circular cover project, or a which came first, a who is whoconundrum. those who know the respective artists work well enough should be able to suss the jig, and despite a label-less disc there are other ways. so, what do we have here musically? densely collaged musique concrete-ism edited at a rather brisk pace, essentially. what matters, besides each artist’s specific musical means, is both the sensitivity and the breadth the artists bring to the project. concise. humorous. kick-ass. classic.
do we really need to discuss rainey’s importance on things experimental at this point? i hope not. chris cooper on the hand does deserve a bit more elucidation. though well enough known through the circles in the above mentioned projects, it seems that his particular genius through the discipline of his guitar work is still not wholly understood. he possesses notable music knowledge as well as theoretical approaches that are generally not employed in the lo-fi, experimental noise and punk worlds in which he operates. his contribution to this artifact is yet another important piece of evidence that continues to build an airtight case for his necessary-ness. |
