8mm 039: bill nace ‘too dead for dreaming’ one sided lp debut vinyl album by contemporary electric guitar wizard bill nace. ‘too dead for dreaming’ begins in the form of a deconstructed blues piece, slowly exploring the territories of atonal composition, string–scraping and feedback, crashing all these styles in an instinctive, personal way. his affiliations with x04, northampton wools and vampire belt converge here in a unique flux.  bill’s ability in creating sounds, follows a clear logic of ‘construction of tension’ that eventually explodes into pure sonic mayhem (part 2) then switching the attention from your blowing ears into new, obscure tonalities, with a spectral meditation that develops in the last part of the album and mirably closes the circle. it’s all here: one man, one guitar. a bulldozer. limited to 200 copies, hand printed and numbered.

flaherty / nace / moore paul flaherty - bill nace - thurston moore cat: e#21e paul flaherty has been a direct lifeline to the radical  free-reed lineage of albert ayler, john gilmore, peter brotzmann and arthur doyle since first coming into our vision sometime in the 80s.  at some point in the 90s he began woodshedding hard with northampton, massachusetts resident spirit-drummer chris corsano. as the contemporary free-noise-space-weird underground gathered around minds were liberated to godhead heights. also in the 90s a young and beautiful boy-man named bill nace was drawn to the region by the living art and music here and also began inter-sonic-guitar/linguistics with corsano (as vampire belt). after corsano relocated to the uk, nace began a long-running duo with flaherty. sonic youth-ian thurston moore had been tracking flaherty’s comet whilst perusing dog-eared copies of cadence mag in the early 90s. he eventually booked the infamous flaherty-colbourne group for their first  ever nyc gig at the legendary now-defunct cooler club on way west 14th street. in 98 moore and his family escaped to free-zone northampton and immediately fell in with corsano and flaherty as a trio. (this group recorded, with the extended lineup of saxophonist wally shoup, for  a japanese only cd produced by jim o’rourke – which ecstatic peace will re-issue to the western world soon ‘nuff). subsequently moore and nace begat northampton wools, a basement-ritual guitar-noise duo (ecstatic peace cd forthcoming). from time to time nace, moore and flaherty would collect their energies and throw down live trio sessions which still resonate through the valley’s ear(s). this trio cd is a session flaherty set up in the late winter of early 2008. there are 3 tracks (“sex”’ “drugs” and “lavender”), one short, two looong.  it is a primo example of this threesome’s focus and sonic storytelling, ferocious yet pensive. cover art by noise nomads.
