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 ...

ultra eczema press release...
ultra eczema 45
xo4;
lost signals lp

the trio of bill nace, john truscinski and jake meginsky deliver their fourth spars, spaced scratched and creeped record, after their debut cdr on audiobot, an amazing tape on bill's own inprint "open mouth" and an lp on ecstatic peace. although this band uses only 2 guitars and percussion they've built up a paradise of tension between instruments that by far dont sound like you'de think they'de sound.. it does sound like someone is pulling your veins gently, softly focused on not realy hurting you but having chinese torture in the back of your brain. a no named peasant would guess this music was made by an old dog collecting thousands of little pieces of metal, knowing exactly what they would sound like if u rub them onto another miked metal closet or a circuit bend old wooden clock. sensitive guitar molesting is never far away.

i've heard the master for this record about 50 times before releasing it and still recognize new sounds in it. there's a lot of space on here, and it's realy hard to figure out which instrument is which, not that it matters, but i did think "what the hell is this sound made of".

besides xo4 and his solo work, bill nace also plays in a duo with chris cooper, in vampire belt with chris corsano, and in northampton wools with thurston moore. he also does amazing drawings, books and open mouth records/tapes. both john truscinski and jake meginsky also do amazing solo work!

this record comes in a collaged cover design by dennis tyfus, limited to 500 copies.
