i caught a solo “laser” set of robin’s earlier this year in melbourne, and i have to say that it was one of the highlights of my entire oz/nz trip - really incredible mix of full-blown-out rectified-wave digital histrionics and a ridiculous psychedelic lightshow...

this is the mego debut (well... editions mego, excuse me...) of robin’s long-running duo with fellow malabar/mallowmar anthony pateras. just a ridiculous amount of chops on display - robin’s digital-detritus and anthony’s analogue-synth & voice-chop.

one of my favorite records right now... glad to see the mego spec still in operation after a questionable few years there!

anthony pateras & robin fox: flux compendium cd

release date: 13.01.2006

total time: 42:50

robin fox - computer, programming & controllers
anthony pateras - voice, synthi a, mixing desk, electronics & objects

recorded, mixed and mastered in melbourne, march-june 2005 by james wilkinson @ wilkinsound

all tracks written and performed by anthony pateras & robin fox

photography by sarah pirrie
installation by natasha anderson
layout by implant

ectoplasmic drool, ruptured voice, multi-temporal cash, concerti for nostrils, hyperactive excursions into comedy and violence. an aural textbook of constant change presenting a multi-dynamic evaluation of what may be possible with what we have at this point. equal parts postwar beard and modern patchnocrat, flux compendium sees two of melbourne's hairiest sons nose dive and writhe in their unique take of sonic totalism, rising out of the muck with their kaleidoscopic best. far from the lifeless plague of spacebartronica, they execute an electrified real-time homage to some of their favorite obsessions: breakneck pacing, vocal hysterics, blistering textures, bodily functions and dysfunctions. eschewing their intuitive beginnings in favor of more a concrète punk miniature aesthetic.

lp

natasha anderson: contrabass recorder and electronics
will guthrie: percussion and electronicsjérôme noetinger: tape machines and electronicsclayton thomas: double bass and preparationsanthony pateras: prepared piano and analogue synthesizer

all music by thymolphthalein, performed live at swr2 new jazz meeting, gare du nord, basel, 15th november, 2009
cut at dubplates & mastering, berlin, december 3rd, 2010. 45 rpm

please note: due to the extreme dynamic frequency range this record was cut at 45rpm at a lower level. play loud!

design by shehab at implant, melbourne

a key ingredient in disappearing ink, thymolphthalein describes the working method of this brilliant french-australian quintet

leader anthony pateras conceived a detailed hour long structural premise for the group’s first tour in 2009, creating a masterful pastiche of richly dynamic, timbrally devastating explorations for electro-acoustic ensemble, melded by his own distinctive prepared piano and analogue electronics.

natasha anderson combines buzzing slabs of electro-acoustic sound with fractured acoustic gestures, sculpting exquisite perceptual explorations with recorders and electronics, producing a poetic and uncanny otherness.

will guthrie expertly fuses the drumkit with an array of homemade electro-acoustic devices to produce a fluid cataclysm of sonic richness, melded by his searing technical prowess and faultless ear.

jérôme noetinger is the live concréte maestro, electro-acoustically manipulating his bandmates with expert timing and breathtaking invention, scrambling proceedings with the occasional ring-modulated depth charge.

clayton thomas’ thoughtful and virtuosic prepared double bass playing has taken europe by storm since moving there from sydney in 2007 – part groove cannon, part kinetic sculpture, all parts bad bass skills.

anthony pateras / robin fox “end of daze” compact disc

  • prelude
  • apollonian gasket
  • you're all answers
  • whipped silk
  • rupture
  • a simple death
  • lung butter blues
  • hyperpole
december 2008 release ; third outing by this australian electro-acoustic improv duo, after the pair’s 2003 synaesthesia-label debut (anyone heard from mark recently ? anyone ?) “coagulate” & 2006’s “flux compendium” (also emego) ...

this is high-aktion, bleep-heavy music ; on par with thom lehn & markus schmickler’s duo work (there’s a similar focus on hemming the analogue/digital synthesis dichotomy) yet somehow even more active ... sure, there’s the occasion electrical force-field and/or drone element, but the music rarely stays in one place for more than a second, preferring the kind of pacing that has even the most adhd-addled listener struggling to keep up ...

awesome, really, and highly recommended !!!

anthony pateras & robin fox: end of daze cd
release date: 28.12.2008
total time: 35:20

robin fox: computer, controllers, arp 2500, programming
anthony pateras: computer, doepfer a-100, voice, revox b-77

all tracks recorded at chinatown studios, brunswick.
mixed and mastered at wilkinsound, west footscray, melbourne, australia, 2008.
arp 2500 materials in "rupture" recorded at worm, rotterdam
design by clare cooper

the first cabs off the editions mego rank in 2006, pateras and fox return with their third shredding album of antipodean-blasted bliss that will get even the darkest of doomlords crawling out of their abyss of hatred, and dancing like lunatics.

end of daze is a bulletproof testament to the duo’s eight year history in the trenches of live electro-acoustic music - their messy, over-the top contact-miked beginnings now formed into a powerful and futuristic meta-language borrowing from the early electronic masters, bizarre sound poetry, vintage synth festishism, the eternal patch tweak and good old fashioned melbourne experimentalist brutality, fuelled by a poisonous love affair with sonic invention.

a combination of materials forged live on stage alongside carefully considered studio mayhem, the audio contained on this disc is their finest vein-popping blend of chaos and order to date. recorded beautifully by longtime engineer james “wilkinsound” wilkinson in melbourne, combined with some sessions from worm in rotterdam, end of daze promises a sonic range as wide as its genesis, complete with angry boy artwork courtesy of clare cooper.

limited to 500 copies.

quecksilber press release...
artist: beta erko
title: i'm ok, you're ok
format: cd
cat. #: quecksilber 9
release date: 07.03.05

for everybody who is sick of everything else, beta erko is a quartet comprising dsp wizard robin fox (synaesthesia), turntable maestro martin ng (gcttcatt, mego), tri-lingual mc vulk makedonski (curse ov dialect, mush) & prepared piano freak/ producer anthony pateras (synaesthesia, tzadik).

"i’m ok, you’re ok" slices open the hip hop myth and guts it of any stylistic restraints, presenting a kaleidoscopic reconfiguration of familiar elements (beats, rhymes, samples, scratching) that are moulded into fifteen tracks of insane vocal textures, head-splitting sonics and multi-temporal rhythms.

fearless of delving anywhere within the electro-acoustic spectrum, beta erko use gargled scat singing, frenetic scratch-fests, impenetrable digital mashups, overcooked electronics and hyperactive beat boxing to create an unbelievable stylistic anomaly.

"i’m ok, you’re ok" is a rare case where four cracked minds came together to do something completely different and it worked a little too well. file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under: file under.

2004 release ; first global transmission from the kuala lumpur-based “experimental musicians and artists co-operative malaysia” , whose various members contribute 5 of the 25 tracks herein ...

the other 20 are from a who’s who of the int’l sound-research circuit and are of phenomenally high quality (the exoticity of the label’s point of origin must have been a contributing factor in getting all involved to contribute vital examples of their work instead of 2nd-tier comp-track dreck) ...

what i’m finding the most enjoyable about this set is the curatorial aspect ... the wide variety of approaches and fidelities on display somehow all blur boundaries in a highly listenable fashion (i.e. instead of segueing the work of like-minded auteurs into dovetail-like situations, the digital pieces morph into the analog into the lo-fi into the composed into the improvised ... many labels could learn volumes from the sequencing of this record alone), making this amongst the first comps to have a “soul”, so to speak...

completely essential listening, one of my favorite comps from recent times ...
