white-hot blackness from vampire belt’s bill nace & co ... one of the better destructuralized / non-idiomatic improv units currently working out in wema ; or anywhere at this point really ... their set here in town back in april (2008) was prob. one of my yearly highlights ... highly recommended !!!
ecstatic peace! press release...
x.0.4
cataracts lp
(ecstatic peace e#105d)
500 copies

debut vinyl release by the western massachusetts drone/scrape trio of bill nace, john truscinski and jake meginsky.

these guys have developed into one of the most soul-glowing sound/improv units out there today. and we mean out there. sparkling shards of guitar/amp/file machinations dance and intercede with rolling thundercloud dreamdrum dramatics.

nace you know from his killer duo throwdowns with chris corsano as vampire belt as well as the more recent weirdness with dylan nyoukis and karen lollypop as ceylon mange and in duo with thurston moore as northampton wools.

truscinski and meginsky are the fine gentleman who’ve recorded as slaughterhouse percussion, meginsky a student of, and fellow professor with milford graves at bennington college.

september 2010 release ; third lp from the trio of jake meginsky, john truscinski, and bill nace (following those for ultra eczema & ecstatic peace! ... not counting the early home-burns for audiobot & spirit of orr) ...

... originally slated for release as one of those bottrop-boyen/of” editions, it’s nice to have this music (finally) available below the €100 price-point, instead a rather spartan b/w lp in a clue-free sleeve ... but the presentation’s not the important thing here ; the music, consisting of alternating stretches of sub-bass thrum (c/o meginsky’s excited timpani) and thin, interference-oriented minimalism (nace & truscinski, playing their guitars more as amplified wooden planks than in the traditional manner ; mostly using metallic objects to upset the delicate magnetic balance) ... the resultant tension / release scenarios outlined by the three have their roots in free improvisation, but the outcome appears fully composed, with a narrative structure that rivals even the best contemporary electro-acoustic composition ...

these guys are woefully under-documented ; this goes a great ways towards righting that wrong ...

rel (usa) #rel 12 lp

nmperign / jake meginskyselected occasions of handsome deceit” one-sided long playing record

  • selected occasions of handsome deceit (18:48)
february 2010 release ; strikingly dynamic new music from bhob rainey & greg kelley’s nmperign, here working with x.0.4’s percussionist jake meginsky ...

jake’s presence seems to usher the duo into more active modes, with his bass-drum resonances fleshing out the lower spectra, leaving the two horn players free to compete for breathable air-space in the middle & upper registers ... tbe (gorgeous) recording (seemingly made in an airplane hangar) does wonders for meshing the disparate elements, on occasion approaching the wind-tunnel ambiance of 80s david jackman productions, all while preserving the myriad details inherent to bhob & greg’s respective embouchures ...

lovely package from eli & ashley, with the lp tucked into a picture-disc sleeve, adorned only by an eye-catching vertical insert ... highly recommended !!!
