arbor118 trauma - "calming effects of the ocean vol. 3" c30

the third chapter of trauma’s six part series (other volumes on fag tapes, excite bike, tapeworm tapes, holy cheever church, and american tapes) finds the detroit duo of percussionist ben hall and guitarist chris riggs adrift in texture. neither’s role can be distinguished; a seriously strange and pure approach. percussive guitar and melodic drums intertwine denying all points of departure. the piece constantly advances incessantly in a blur of energy; almost non-human: like a field recording of playerless instruments outside during a rainstorm.

in an edition of 100 tapes with full color cardstock covers and printed labels.

graveyards
screwed + chopped
lp edition of 200

there are still so many people steady trippin’ off the futurists and trying to make it faster and louder but it does that on it’s own. when screw decided to upend the idea of time and how one can listen to time, shit slowed everything down and it made sense. houston, the sprawl, the heat, the poverty. detroit, the sprawl, the cold, the poverty. there is a kinship and affection between the 1/4 speed, slo-mo, basement jazz and houston’s favorite codeine addict.

this recording was made with tapes, test presses, outtakes, all played in real time against graveboyz own post-cubist approach to screw mixing us from, where else? the graveyard. chopped up not slopped up. chris riggs adds his destroyed strings to the mix.

lp in cardboard screened sleeves

hanson press release...

christopher riggs - draco - cass

an excellent cassette to make you feel sea sick from the guitarist of traum. the a side sounds more like a thick metal cable fluttering in the wind than a guitar. nauseating low end fluttering waves interrupted by occasional high end frantic scratches which sounds like amplified birds cleaning themselves on the wire. the b side is a barrage of high end squeals and squeaks, metallic whistles, flapping insects, stabbing needles, knife sharpening, baby animals crying, wild boar breathing, paper ripping, and more... all made with a guitar ! a truly fucked up recording!

originally self released in an edition of only 20 copies.

february 2010 release ; debut release on this new post-brokenresearch label co-helmed by chris riggs & ben hall, covering a trio date jointly pulled from the cold massachusetts sky by the aforementioned two & the venerable free-guitarist joe morris ...two side-length takes merging joe’s position-free upper-neck scrabble, chris’s “guitar-as-one-giant-contact-microphone” approach (manifesting itself here as a series of distant scrapes, present knocks, and ominous rumbles) and ben’s restlessly flitting hat/cymbal flare-outs ...
