ravi binning “in the city of mimes ” c20 cassette

in the city of mimes (1)
in the city of mimes (2)

june 2010 release ; neat tape of mutant, synthesized lo-fi robo-soul-baring from new york city resident ravi binning, brought to life c/o matt “ducktails” mondanile’s future sound index ...

... despite the latter affiliation, the music here is in & of the whole “private universe” sector (telling that the reference points cited by mondanile include american private-press icon mark anthony heide & the artists on the early icr roster ; i.e. paul kelday, ian boddy, et.al) ; the terminator-lineage post-apocalyptic vibes are palpable & the creepy voicings-over the chugging polysynth latticework only seal the deal further ... really nice tape ; one for fans of jeff witscher’s contemporary rene hell work ...

ravi binning - in the city of mimes

minimalist music for human holograms and living statues. an all analog synth affair made mechanical by tape delay loop rhythms. cut live straight from source. not too far from the loner synth chamber music of mark anthony heide or the early 80s home taper compositions on the icr label ...

100 pro printed and dubbed cassettes, black shells with white printing on the tape.

ducktails / dracula lewis “split” long playing record

ducktails - screen scene
dracula lewis - gone by dawn

august 2010 release ; ok, i’m going to step away from the edge of my recent hate-abyss (re: the chill-house-beach-witch-wave-agogia) to remark (perhaps, hopefully, controversially) that i think that not only is the ducktails side of this particular lp the best thing that he’s done, but actually one of the best sides of any lp i’ve heard recently (so much so that i actually encoded it to FLAC.WAV or whatever and put it on my phone - right now the only audio on there - so that i could listen to it while driving around, nonstop, for the last couple of weeks) ...

it kinda nails the whole collective german-leaning zeitgeist (case in point ; matt spent some time in berlin some years back, oddly, as arnold dreyblatt’s assistant) of the last coupla years into one concise, ultra-lo-fi 4-track trench-gaze parallax that i honestly can’t find any kind of fault with it whatsoever ... builds up for 4 minutes & rides a long stretch of tarmac, autobahn style for the remainder ; totally deluxe & way removed from any/all recorded evidence of mondanile’s pop-chops laid down so far ...

drac.lewis’ construct is a fine side of casiometry, hanson-esque tape wobble & misted metals in it’s own right all the same ... but damn, that ducky side ; total bees knees, as least for tje lifer harmonia / cluster advocate ... i’m watching you matt ...

nfp-46 ducktails / dracula lewis split lp

there is a murder in the beach. ducktails arrives in his spaceship escalade to investigate the scene. dracula lewis is the principal suspect. they become best friends and decide to work on a split lp. when a vampire kills a body is never found. at the same time beautiful and terrifying cavern drone sounds from dracula lewis, psychedelic spiraling melodies and electronics beats from ducktails. both investigate the limits of the space time continuum. this is the new dawn of expansive music. ducktails is matthew mondanile (also a member of real state.) dracula lewis was born in transylvania but currently lives in the country side of italy, were the locals refer to him as 'a gypsy.'

limited to 500 copies.

julian lynch “orange you glad” long playing record

venom
winterer one
andaza
rancher
mercury
the flood
winterer two
seed

august 2009 release ; genre-defining example of neurofunk from this new-jersey-by-way-of-wisconsin ethnomusicology student, dabbling here in friendly, yacht-rock lineage soft-rock modes ...

oddly, i saw this guy not two weeks ago peal off an entirely convincing clarinet / harmonium raga that channeled both terry riley & pandit pran nath (really ; he’s a hell of a clarinet player !!!) ...

this ain’t that, making the full 180º shift to baby-making grooves & muted, coo-ing exaltations here kind of a downer more than anything else ... the few detours into more long-form modes are sweet (such as the b-side opener) but they’re all but eclipsed by the smoothness ...

but what do i know ; i’m old !!!

oesb-41 julian lynch "orange you glad" lp

"orange you glad" is the debut full-length lp from julian lynch, following a string of self-released cd-r's and a recent split 7" with his childhood friend and frequent collaborator matt mondanile of ducktails on the underwater peoples label.

a talented multi-instrumentalist, julian has had a busy summer playing countless shows both solo and as a member of predator vision, ducktails, and real estate offshoot alex bleeker & the freaks. this album is comprised of 4-track home recordings made in his hometown of ridgewood, new jersey and also in madison, wisconsin where he is a graduate student in ethnomusicology.

his interest in indian & south asian music blossomed several years ago when he was living in washington, d.c. and working for smithsonian folkways recordings. this exposure to their vast library of world music has informed his output, and he blends instruments such as harmonium & tabla with guitar-rock instrumentation. also of note is his use of circular breathing techniques on the clarinet - often a focal point during his meditative live shows.
