rameses iii - basillica/origins - double cd
imprec178 - cd

basilica is rameses iii´s eagerly anticipated follow-up to their acclaimed release honey rose (important), basilica is a double album of live recordings of new rameses material accompanied by re-interpretations of those same recordings by contemporaries robert horton, keith berry, gregg kowalsky and astral social club.

each artist approached to contribute to the basilica disc was given free range to experiment with the live files, to re-invent and re-interpret the recordings as they saw fit.minimalist sound-sculptor keith berry rolled out the slow-motion waterfalls of basilica and gave the album an early focus and provided inspiration for the glacial artwork. gregg kowalsky played the rose blood remix as part of his own performance at the overlap 02 event in san francisco using its tuned sinewave oscillators, cassette tapes and loops to induce, to quote the man himself, "a psychoacoustic listening experience". our subtle textures were pushed way into the red when noise veteran neil campbell sandblasted the original tracks into the howling mirror of astral social club. his tigers in the snake pit was remixed live in the very same venue in which it was originally performed and finessed with some post-performance layering.and robert horton was open-minded and kind enough to allow rameses iii to remix his remix, leading to the gentle trumpet curlicues and electronic birdsong entwining the original drone of after the red rose.

although basilica was originally envisioned as a single disc album, once the remixes were complete it slowly became evident that they should be paired with a disc of live recordings in order to put the basilica disc into context. in contrast to the heavily-produced and painstakingly-constructed rameses studio albums, all five of the previously-unreleased tracks on the origins disc were recorded directly to stereo at various venues around london. as such, they fully represent those moments in performance where the trio strive to make the most beautiful music they can.

kranky press release...

artist: gregg kowalsky
title: through the cardial window
catalog #: krank094
formats available: cd
release date: april 17, 2006

for through the cardial window gregg kowalsky used mic'ing and recording techniques to pull out hidden textures and frequencies from sound sources as diverse as recordings of the mills ensemble (he filtered a piece he wrote for the group through the pickup of an acoustic guitar), bowed acoustic guitar and a broken floor heater. "into the marshes they drove me" contains source material from the band isis. kowalsky made a track, using tones, harmonics and feedback loops. the music he creates is situated betwixt and between textural ambience, psychedelia and pure noise.

born in new york city and raised in south florida, gregg kowalsky has had the opportunity to perform throughout europe and the united states under the osso bucco moniker for the past several years. he participated in festivals such as wdr's soundart-köln festival, sonar, offf (online flash-film festival) and the nursery summer festival in sweden. he now resides in oakland, california where he completed a master of fine arts degree in electronic music and recording media at mills college with the guidance of fred frith.

kowalsky's compositions range from textural ambient to drone and noise pieces, which are highly influenced by the thick, humid air of south florida where gregg lived for most of his life. he is interested in filling the spaces his music occupies through dense, live, multi-channel mixes. he has composed for film, dance, acoustic ensembles and sound installations.
