iovae “heliofugue
three legged race “calling order”

epicene sound systems press release...

iovae “heliofugue”
autum 2004 - the sun, oscillators, reverb

three legged race “calling order”
winter 2004/2005 - blue jays, reverb

“two of my favorite modern noise makers from the states have to be hair police and iovae. this is very close to being a split from both.

iovae is ron orovitz also known as the d.j. on art damage radio, a memeber of the no-wave nosie group death beam, a noise weirdos wild gunman. for iovae's track we get slow churning crackle, pop and hiss from the "grinder" (a series of ancient military oscillators) that builds into what sounds like the church bell tones of a satanic mass echoing through the devils canyon.

3 legged race is robert from hair police and eyes and arms of smoke. for the race side we get one ominous heavenly droning swelling tone which is given the extreme reverb treatment until it sounds like a white washed blissed out radiant hum.

the artwork was designed by robert and is a must see. one sheet of lines with a transparency of lines. but when one is placed over the othere, you start to see a hidden image. also just moving the transparency around on top of the other page makes alot of tripped out intersecting lines. like i said one you have to see, def one of the best looking, most intresting covers in epicene history.

limited edition of 300 copies, split release with mark of black tent's gentian label.”

snse press release...

edition of 420, pro-printed on textured cardstock, clear jewel case.

iovae is ron orovitz, cincinnati resident and purveyor of thuddingly strange and scientific noise compositions. since 1988, ron has been using turntables, tapes, four track recorders, various sound testing equipment and unconventional rhythm devices (including machine guns and firecrackers,) to establish the iovae sound. on civilization, the customized oscillator stack (affectionately referred to by its creator as the grinder,) is seriously worked over, barfing up the heavy drones and piercing ear splitters, all sprayed down with a thick layer of buzzing fuzz and sputter. it is a dense and psychedelic work.

outside of iovae, ron is a member of the long-running art damage radio program and also pulls duty in the twerked “rock” band death beam. iovae has shared collaborative releases with mammal and burning star core. he has had multiple cdr releases including some on c. spencer yeh’s drone disco imprint, as well as on john olson’s (wolf eyes, dead machines,) american tapes label. one of the most impressive of these prior releases, quartervois, was reissued in proper cd format by the german experimental music label zarek in 2004. civilization is iovae’s second pro-pressed cd release and snse is honored to present it to you.
