june 2010 release ; ... following on from the no fun productions split with carlos giffoni, here’s the second in the “split series” of lps issuing my initial “synth concerts” from 2007 & 2008 (further volumes in-the-works from amish & dekorder) ...

the piece here is rather special ; for the only time in my professional life i broke the “don’t play at gigs you set up” rule & put myself first on a bill with heathen shame, carlos giffoni, burning star core, and prurient, just so i could get in a set of gnarly, rectified, slowly-opening moog-topology low-pass-filter pulse at ear-splitting volume out of a mono, 550w keyboard amp to a fairly sizable turnout (for a saturday night in the wastelands of union square, somerville, at least) ...

amethyst sunset’s william berry chose a live “guitar/drone” piece by columbus mainstay mike shiflet for the b-side, and it’s a doozy !!! consisting of a long patch of pulse-wave modulating tones, a growing wall of grizzly pitch-altered rumble (creating a lovely, if unstable major fourth) gains in pressure, laying out for a spell before a series of guitar parts (run through a low-frequency ring modular from the sound of things) come in & the piece builds to a buzzy, echo-laden climax ...

nice, full-color sleeve (with design & layout by mike) hides a 180-gram lp with full-color labels ...

the second pressing of this all-time mms best seller arrived just this afternoon. while i’m still in the process of cutting up all the new custom paper and putting them all together i wanted to let you know a few things about the repress:

1). the pressing plant fixed the error which resulted in the new hrvatski logo being printed in halftone black over the white flood/base coat, instead of “knocking-out” of the white flood/base coat to the silver cd face, and as such, the new hrvatski logo now “knocks-out” of the white flood/base coat to the silver cd face. so... yes, the 2nd-press copies look much nicer and i don’t cringe when i see the disc art

2). as the acquisition of the first batch of custom/handmade papers was something of an experiment, and as i learned much from said experiment, the 2nd pressing features an evenmoresodareisay amazing selection of weird nepalese blockprints and very cool metallic textured/embossed patterns (see the updated cover-scan to your left.)

3). i wasn’t really going to repress this thing until a few of my distributors sent in restock orders, mentioning that they really enjoyed the disc! this was a real boost and as i want to turn the label into something a bit more regular, i ordered the repress to meet demand. with every copy sold that’s one step closer to the next entschuldigen edition (of which there are currently three planned.)

4). i hate finite-editions of anything that people will want down the road... but then again i don’t want to have another 1100 discs sitting in my room waiting to bought (there’s already enough in here!) so i’ll be assembling these in small batches throughout the summer, possibly into the fall. after that it’ll be time to move on to the next hrvatski-project and all latent copies of this will be sold off...

<--- original description --->

here it is... after a short wait... the mysterious “hrvatski bootleg” i’ve been prattling on about. a very nice looking thing featuring a two-color metallic sticker and a booklet cut from one of twenty different kinds of custom metallic cardstock on my kitchen table with a rodahle guillotine, then stuffed into a cool variopac “trigger-action” booklet box in the reckankomplex living room over the last few weeks by myself (with help from andy solomon and petra-pixm).

entschuldigen press release...

“entschuldigen is pleased to release irrevocably overdriven break freakout megamix, a disc which has the honor of being both the first ever live release from hrvatski as well as the debut release on the entschuldigen label.

hrvatski is widely known throughout sentient populations for his ruthlessly eclectic music, as released over the past six years on scores of tastemaking labels. he has collaborated with and/or remixed a who’s who of contemporary music and sound production. his last two simultaneously released albums were voted to the top of many year-end lists, including those published in the wire and pitchfork.

recorded live at san francisco’s rx gallery (as part of the jiffy scuttler series curated by blevin blectum, j. lesser, lance grabmiller, and sean rooney), irrevocably contains a wide selection of material from hrvatski’s vast repertoire, including a majority of otherwise unreleased tracks and reworkings of some of his classic anthems.

rather than neatly beat-match each piece into a dancefloor-ready whole, hrvatski herein opts to tear his oeuvre apart in a truly depraved manner, eviscerating familiar themes and passages into a distorted uptempo mess which is then coated with layers of previously recorded instrumental passages, found sounds, realtime digital bleeps, and loads of added beats and breaks (hence the title).

one could say that irrevocably is hrvatski’s tribute to such amped-up, overdriven live albums as high rise live and the ventures live in japan ‘65. one wouldn’t be too far off...”

there’s never been a hrvatski live disc (or any weird hrvatski special projects other than 7” singles) as those tend to get relegated to the kfw-aegis) which is odd for myriad reasons (but we’ll only outline a few here):

(1) of all of the “laptop r0x0rz” out there essentially pushing play on a pre-recorded/pre-looped/pre-defined mix of recent 2-track stereo masters, keith-hrvatski has always yielded some strange (and frankly unreliable) computer music performance-solutions, most variants on his “h-mod” modular digital-audio max-msp patch, itself a behemoth of mammoth proportions (incorporating the guts of an analogue modular synth simulator, several pitch-tracking and attack-sensing random-event distributors, many tempo-synced filtering algorithms, 10 kinds of realtime granular grunkage, etc...)

(2) keith-hrvatski’s never played the same set twice. never. he’s fond of busting out unreleased tracks and/or weird alternate versions of his many classic break-damage anthems.

(3) the hrvatski live experience (depending on factors of mood and/or enebriation) is often a full-on sensory assault of high-volume anti-dancefloor aktion, often intentionally pushing his signal WAY beyond comprehension (just ask anyone who lives in ghent). the hrvatski oeuvre would benefit from a live disc in the same way the high rise oeuvre did from “high rise live” or the ventures from “live in japan ‘65”.

so, bearing all that in mind, here’s what will most likely be hrvatski’s swan song (barring that the cd reissue program a few folks have offered to help out with never gets off the ground), a gloriously frazzled transcription of his set at the jiffy.scuttler event at the rx gallery in san francisco’s tenderloin from july of 2004. more merzbow than mezz mezzrow, “irrevocably” sees a stove-boat of hrvatski-klassiks run through the gain-blender, butted up against some seriously zonked bleep, sound-system fx, death metal guitar growl, etc... all so far into the red that it’s hard to even hear the beat at times. keith-hrvatski wouldn’t have it any other way.

one-time pressing of 32,701 copies (actually, closer to 700), sure to go the way of the eagle shortly after release...

keith fullerton whitman “recorded in lisbon” compact disc

recorded in lisbon (41:41)

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "recorded in lisbon"

... a 40-minute continuous piece for guitar, circuit-bent electronics, reel-to-reel tape, and computer, recorded on stage at lisbon’s brilliant galeria ze dos bois during october of 2005 ...

i chose this set from lisbon as my first proper solo live release as it just works on a few different levels ... what starts out as a nice & serene playthroughs-bit (which almost comes across as a solo guitar/electronic take on “in a silent way”) slowly morphs into an incredibly loud & claustrophobic blast of “rising sound” courtesy of a self-evolving serge modular/eventide clockworks harmonizer patch and some particularly gnarly rectified electric guitar (thank you truly beautiful disaster) ... this gives way to a long section of musique concrète involving the moving walkways in london’s heathrow airport, metal handrails in the 8-story stairwell of a belgian hotel, and an ad-hoc performance of la monte young’s poem for chairs, tables, benches, etc. - these sounds were fed into the aforementioned serge, their timbral and volume envelopes converted into control voltages used to “play” a different patch. slowly a wave of “frozen” guitar chords creeps in, which is followed by a massive swell of squared-off playthroughs guitar, which was then bounced around the zdb space, recaptured in the system, then rebroadcast again in something of a feedback loop owing much to alvin lucier’s classic “i am sitting in a room. the piece slowly fades out after this abruptly cuts to a frail band-pass-filtered version of the same ...

more than anything else i’ve done, you really need to be listening to this one through good speakers at at a fairly decent clip (i.e. “play it loud.”) computer speakers and/or headphones just won’t do it (unless you’ve got a pair of grados) ; there’s much extremely low-end information that will bounce around your comfortable listening spaces quite nicely if you only give it the chance ...

a message from mr. whitman: "in october of 2005 i found myself wandering the streets of lisbon, entirely deaf in one ear, 75% the other (an artifact of witnessing first-hand the fine air-pressure regulation on four separate aer lingus flights), belly full of swordfish, just in awe of the city and its inhabitants. for the first since i could remember everything just clicked.

"those of you who have been lucky enough to get a copy of the recent 22 minutes for electric guitar tour-only mini-cd on entschuldigen may have an idea of just where my head's been at over the past year or so regarding the evolution of the "playthroughs" system of live/real-time guitar/computer synthesis; the piece i often play in concert has gradually been getting much darker, more dynamic, and in general; monolithic. i’ve started to embrace traditional "loud guitar" concepts (via a collection of bizarre, home-made/boutique guitar pedals) along with the sine-tone throb and "slow aerosol dispersion" of the classic playthroughs material. more recently, i've augmented the pure-guitar sound(s) with a collection of small, battery-powered sound-devices and several tapes of "automatic synthesizer compositions" (recorded this past summer on the same serge modular protoype and buchla music box 100 systems used on multiples) and field recordings from all over god's green earth. finally, on top of all that i've re-kindled my love of alvin lucier-lineage process music by placing microphones and small speakers / fm receivers / speakers around the space, capturing the sounds as they occur at various points in the room, feeding them back through the central artery that is the max-msp-based playthroughs patch, then out again to any number of locations...

"this recording, captured to hard disk on stage at galeria zé dos bois on october 4th 2005, is in my mind the perfect encapsulation of all of these elements into a single lilting piece of static sine-tone harmonics, squared-off electric guitar haze, clangorous room-tone eruptions, and high-end synth freakouts...

"note: in something of a sea-change to my modus over the last 10-odd years i've decided to relax, not sweat the details, let mistakes be mistakes and just let the music breathe without my normally prescribed 3-year gestation cycle of incessant editing, re-mastering, tinkering, etc... making this the shortest amount of time for any one of my musical ideas to go from conception to execution to release (all things going to plan; just five months from the concert itself to the disc on shelves...). the recordings are released in a cardboard pack adorned with high-contrast photos taken by yours truly during the lisbon trip, priced as a cd ep..."

i’m penultimately thrilled to present to you my second “proper” album under my christian given, multiples.

this recording is the result of a massive, sprawling project to which i lent most of my free time over the last few years... one that took me from the basement of the reckankomplex to the harvard university studio for electro-acoustic composition to a hotel room in rome, back to the mit media lab, back to my bedroom here (otherwise known as “the mms offices™”) and finally, now, to home stereo speakers worldwide.

people have been saying that this is my “academic” record, although despite the fact that i did compose the majority of it in academic institutions, i like to think of the music as much less cold and formic than that title would imply (personally, i think the music is very human!)

title: multiples
catalog #: krank081
formats available: cd
release date: may 16, 2005

multiples was recorded at the harvard university studios, where a stash of vintage synthesizers and electronics was made available to keith fullerton whitman during his time as a lecturer there. the eight tracks on multiples flow through hit hat shimmer to skull-scraping electronic tones to interlocking clusters of repetition. this is whitman's most inclusive and developed album yet. the limited edition antithesis and schöner flußengel lps released in 2004 showed the range of whitman's interests, multiples integrates them into a complete work.

keith fullerton whitman has described himself as being enamored of "hyper-programmed rhythms & concrète sounds, bleeding freakout guitar, beach-boys style sweet harmony, eastern euro-prog, vintage synth burbles, classic-era minimalism, early mainframe computer music, fluxus-lineage borderline nonsense, complete and utter chaos, doomy chamber pop, and quiet melancholy." his solo work for kranky has expanded from the processed guitar drones of playthroughs to the tribal psych ritual of "schnee" on the antithesis lp and on to the ominous miasma of schöner flußengel. multiples is a fusing of these strains of interest and ability into an effective whole.

...my debut album under my “real” name, reflecting 10 years of computer-guitar sound research. having nothing to do aesthetically with the hrvatski output (hence the use of my xian given..). this is more the logical progression of the experiments witnessed on the 21:30 for acoustic guitar ep on apartment b.

not exclusively comprised of pitch-tracking guitar pieces however (for example: feedback zwei is composed of 34 channels of electric guitar feedback, acgtr svp is all strummed acoustic guitar chords).

i’m quite happy with the way this record turned out, and it’s by far the least jarring of my recorded output... let these pristine digital undulations lull you into an alpha-state.

title: playthroughs
catalog #: krank055
formats available: cd
release date: october 21, 2002

the source material for every piece on playthroughs is guitar: acoustic, electric or otherwise. from sept. 2001 to april 2002, keith fullerton whitman transformed raw guitar tones via laptop computer into the tracks on playthroughs.

whitman has used ring modulators, granular re-synthesis algorithms, banks of delays and special effects in a process that owes much to terry riley's time lag accumulator setup and steve reich's phase pieces.

technology and whitman's careful selection of notes combine to create shimmering drones and deep waves of sound. though the source material was improvised guitar and the procesing involved computer technology, playthroughs reflects whitman's mastery of composition.

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "variations for oud & synthesizer (1)"

june 2010 release ; ... largely recorded at harvard’s huseac back in 2005, the root of these two pieces lie in a series of recordings made by running this ::

... through this ::

... yielding a treasure trove of “explosion-oriented” material, with the stray attacks & tremolo-jacking of the egyptian oud in question being converted into an unholy array of analogue bleep by the serge modular prototype ... later embellished with stray “dry” oud playing, metal zarb rhythms, some rather syd barrett-esque electric slide guitar / echoplex wash & assorted post-production details, this music can be seen as my “tribute” to dariush dolat-shahi’s first folkways record (which everyone with a right mind should own & be in awe of) & françois-bernard mâche’s “kemit” & “korwar” one-two punch ...

these two pieces have their origins in a long-term composition project which was to be the third in the kranky-label trilogy (after playthroughs & multiples) ... alas, due to a fairly crippling hard drive crash (the first of many i’ve suffered over the past half-decade ; folks, back your shit up !!!) all of the pro tools stems & files were wiped clean, halting the project in its tracks ... lo and behold, 4 years later, i came across a unlabeled backup dvd of “rough” mixes of early sketches , a pair of which, i’ve become rather fond of, leading to this edition ...

37th birthday edition (i’m old !!!) ; 45rpm “big hole” 7” records (with “classic” labels ; detail below) housed in green “vintage” inner sleeves w/ a 45rpm adapter set in place, inside a b&w jacket inside a “frosty” 6 mil sleeve ... which of course wasn’t the cheapest thing in the world to make but, ah, let’s consider this the affordable “sister” release to “losing everything b/w four oscillators reverb nice” & move on ...

september 2009 release ; split lp release debuting both carlos’ new “acid” direction and the first bit of my own music performed solely on an analogue modular synthesizer back on july 2nd, 2007 ...

rather than write about this again, i’ll just copy y’all on the post i already put on the internet ::

... thanks for repping the no fun lp ; mms received its copies on friday. it turned out great !!! i love how maya's art channels both the acid-era design sensibility & the early-mid-70s "dark era" (see: the andromeda strain soundtrack, etc ...) ; carlos' side is incredible, a sort of drum-less 4-part cycling minimalism borne of mutating sawtooth waves - definitely the first release of his "new thing" (well, aside from the track on the lopatin comp) ; we blasted it at full volume here in the office & it sounded incredible, although i don't know how well it will work on headphones (you kind of need to have the waves coming out of two speakers, then meeting up the air for it to "work") ...

my side is a straight room recording of the first solo synth concert i gave back in 2007 (opening for major stars & donna parker @ pa's lounge, no less) ; this was the first time i'd played a gig w/o using a laptop in prob. 10 years !!! the idea for those first few concerts was to stay as far away from synthesizer-music "cliches" as possible ; i.e. no straight filter-sweeps, arpeggiations, etc ... it's extremely minimal, lots of space between the "notes", with a somewhat convoluted cv patch "playing" a pair of oscillators while the inverted version of the same "plays" the delay-time of a bucket-brigade echo ... it builds up into a nice dense array of overlaid parts that's probably more in tune w/ the no fun aesthetic, but other than the ending gambit it's largely very pointillist / iterative - i'm actually pretty psyched that carlos picked this one out of all those early sets as it's by far the most challenging ...

the idea i had for these solo synth-concert recordings was to let folks that run labels release them as sides on split-lps with whomever they want (ala melt banana's 7" wave back in the 90’s) ; i have a few other takers besides carlos in the works, but if any of you guys are interested, get in touch w/ me via email - i'm on sales@mimaroglumusicsales.com ... -k

52 carlos giffoni / keith fullerton whitman ‘techno b/w 070207’

two very active modern electronic musicians who enjoy 20th century analog equipment deliver a document of mind expanding electronics with very different approaches. giffoni's track 'techno' is full of layered and perfectly synched synthetic rhythms matched with some very adhesive evolving sounds; creating something that somehow ends up being a homage to both early techno and harsh japanese electronics. whitman's track is a beautiful exploration of synthetic tonality and space, like a sudden massage to several areas of the brain one by one but also all at once with a little spice of musique concrete . both of these recordings share an expansive and psychedelic nature, as well as a nod to the past while moving into the future.

july 2010 release ; second protracted view tape we’ve managed to stock (after the epic “synth night” set from last year ; apparently there were another 38 releases in between this & that !!! wonder what they were ...) covering the first four “generator” concerts from september & october of 2009 ...

... after my initial, exploratory phase of performing music with only a (steadily growing) eurorack modular synthesizer (as documented on the “split series” lps on no fun, amethyst sunset, ... and soon dekorder, amish, and others) i settled down with the “generator” patch / system ; a double 4-part canon (i.e. four sinewave oscillators and four pulsewidth ones) that works with tuning & tracking inconsistencies across the various make & model of oscillator to yield, at first, a swarming/buzzing field of closely tuned intervals ... then an ear-piercing, “inside your head” wall of shrieking overtone movement ... using this patch as a building-block, i started adding various sub-patches to modify the canons (recording them digitally at low bit-rates to emphasize the nyquist bleed, running them through a bucket-brigade for more harmonic congestion, filtering & frequency-shifting, etc...) as well as augmenting them with sounds from a commodore 64 emulator & even adding poly-rhythmic accents to “anchor” the piece ...

as these concerts show the piece in it’s infancy, it feels nice to have them all available in one place ... for me it’s a keepsake of this very busy month ::

... the label gave the go-ahead to architect this all-clear edition, with professionally duplicated / imprinted tapes housed inside the elusive “side by side” double norelco (went to hell & back trying to track these down ; wasn’t easy !!!) with two separate laser-transparency inserts (one 5” x 14” “cover”, then a 3.5” x 14” “insert”) ... and while the fidelity ranges from the crystal-clear board-capture (c/o the norman conquest) of the “on land” set to the room-sound video-mic gristle of the “i hear a new world” piece (c/o feeding tube’s ted lee) the tape-duping levels the playing field & all come across as a coherent whole ...

super happy with how this turned out ; hope you enjoy !!!

november 2009 release ; geoff, the thoughtful soul that he is, finally coerced me into compiling a tape of my “automatic electronic music” pieces from the past few months ...

the first side offers a piece entirely comprised of three takes (panned hard left, soft center, and hard right) of a particularly woolly modular synth patch that converts the incoming attacks, volume curves, ground hum, and audio signals emanating from this prime bit of 1961 audio tech ::

... into a control & audio voltages that “play” a series of panning, analogue delay, resonant band-pass filter, telephone modulator/demodulator, gating, and spring reverb circuits ... the result is not unlike my beloved dub taylor, costin miereanu, and luis de pablo lps in approach, only much louder (arguably the most “noise” thing i’ve ever done ... well until the kfw/gm 2lp drops in 2010) & nowhere near as “good” ...

the second piece is a bit of computer music nostalgia, harkening back to my first experiments with the commodore vic20 back in 1982 or so ... utilizing the titular code (thanks to noah “shifty” vawter) plugged into a c64 emulator (running on an iphone no less ::

... had to earn enough “nerd cred” to warrant the title somehow !!!) ; the resultant peeks & pokes were then fed into a similar modular patch that “drove” an 8-bit loop-recorder circuit fed into an emulation of the russian “polivoks” filter & further analogue echo / band-pass configurations, building & decreasing in density until a melancholy random pulse-wave arpeggio comes in to close out the side ...

the tape comes as a norelco housing one of four different collages by geoff ; the tape itself if a lovely blue pro-duplicated affair with randomly chopped full-color labels, and there’s even a nice pearlized fold-over insert !!!

i tend to go on about the “side-long aleatoric electro-acoustic collage” spec ; here’s my stab at said ... enjoy.

rare youth press release...

hallicrafters, inc. "10 poke 54272+int(rnd(1)*25),int(rnd(1)*256) : goto 10" c36, ry-30

two utterly satisfying pieces of electronic music for automatic processes and modular synthesizer. to me, this just about sums up keith’s uncanny ability to blend technical prowess with an innate musicality - something that i find to be pretty rare in the world of “academic” electronics.

side a features an old shortwave radio (made by hallicrafters, inc.) run through keith’s ever-expanding modular set-up, while side b is fueled by old commodore patches being processed by an iphone and sent to the suitcases...

room40 press release...

keith fullerton whitmantrack4 (twowaysuperimposed)

over the past few years, keith fullerton whitman has been responsible for producing some of the most engaging electronic music to emerge from the united states. informed by traditional musique concréte as much as contemporary dsp, his work remains provocative without relying on overt actions or grandiose sonic statements. for his upcoming tour of australia, whitman issues this bass heavy journey through processed guitar and electronics – a refined statement of intent from one of the usa's finest. (lawrence english)

"here’s a 10:32 piece from 2002, re-worked, turned into a 21:04 piece in late 2005, released in spring of 2006 to correspond with my second australian tour. much like "track3a (2waynice)" (the first piece on the "playthroughs" album), this piece is entirely bi-directional, meaning that it plays the same forwards as backwards (just try to get your head around that...) by far the most woofer-rattling piece of music i've ever made..."

lasse marhaug “spaghetti western rainbow” compact disc

spaghetti western rainbow (redux)
i quattro dell’apoclalisse oro hondo
the endless gundown

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "spaghetti western rainbow"

note: this is a proper, replicated cd-edition, re-issuing this now-classic lasse marhaug session with bonus materials (including a piece done in something of a mail-collaboration with... myself... late last year)

here’s the blurb i originally wrote regarding the cd-r edition:

here’s a nice edition of a september 2004 wnur-fm radio set from norway’s leading bringer of doom, lasse marhaug. lasse completists (of which there are many, certainly enough to justify a larger pressing of this than 50) will want to note that this is, as far as i can tell, the first solo live marhaug release (there have been a few jazzkammer live things, notably the one w/merzbow recorded @ a molde a few years back). taking a step back from recent brutal/all-sound ventures, lasse here dips into a collection of found-sounds and fx, mish-mashing them this way and that, rendering what could be considered a “musical” piece (esp. given the context). i haven’t had this fun listening to what is ostensibly a “noise” record since the merzbow/cock esp “music for man with no name” 7” on fusetron (which shares a similar love for leone/morricone-lineage twang). more proof that mr. marhaug is and continues to be one of the most vital voices in contemporary sound ...

utech press release...

artist: lasse marhaug
title: spaghetti western rainbow
format: cd
edition: 1000
length: 55'
trx: 4
catalogue number: urcd002
released: october 21, 2006
recorded:
chicago / boston / bergen / oslo.
final mix > oslo > june 6, 2006.

hailing from the land of the rising snow, lasse marhaug has become one of the most commanding and respected sound artists in norway. as a musician and composer he has contributed to cd, vinyl and cassette releases for labels throughout europe, asia and america. aside from solo work, marhaug contributes to several ensembles including nash kontroll (ideal) and a large jazkamer unit (smalltown supernoise) with black metal legends enslaved. having collaborated with artists from varying fields of musik (sunn o))), aaron dilloway and maja ratkje) marhaug's reach extends into musik for theatre, installations and video.

a salvo to ennio morricone, spaghetti western rainbow stands testament to the italian composer's enduring influence. morricone collaborator sergio leone established the spaghetti western genre in 1964 with a fistful of dollars. the director used morricone again to score the remaining two films in his three-part account of greed and violence (for a few dollars more and the good, the bad and the ugly.) leone's critics were struck by his brutal depiction of an unromantic west, but his singular style, camera angles and extension of time made his work different from any western that had come before. lasse marhaug exacts leone's slow, beautiful power and love for expanse with shades of morricone's subtle witchery to create what will inevitably be considered one of his masterworks. harsh, dry passages blend with drifting soundscapes, bird calls and an asseverate guitar figure that promotes an invigorating context for film musik.

issued on utech records [001] as a micro pressing of 100 cdr copies in the winter of 2004. lasse marhuag first performed this music as an improvised laptop work for chicago radio station wnur. this edition finds the original piece remastered and divided into two tracks that open and close the album. two unreleased pieces recorded in boston, bergen and oslo have been added as bonus tracks. various source material contributed by keith fullerton whitman. artwork inspired by the film "the great silence."

spring 2007 compilation of “idiosyncratic” music curated by yannick franck... includes music by a pretty damn excellent selection of contemporary drone/repetition practitioners ranging from the minimalist swell of charlemagne palestine to the munged roar of lasse marhaug & jon hegre’s jazkamer to steffen basho-junghan’s ringing steel-string figures...

just about everything is exclusive to this reasonably priced and quite lovely set (featuring tatiana klejniak’s scribbled-out paintings...) with a nice blend of darker & lighter tonalities. something for every fan of long-form sound. properly chilled.

idiosyncratics press release...

idcd 001
various artists : idioscapes 2007
digipack / 1000 copies

“the idea was to ask some of our favourite sound artists to take part in a compilation... and, to our surprise, they accepted. the only concept was that they had to provide a specific / particular / idiosyncratic piece. qualified as a “drone paradise” by lasse marhaug (of jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong. idioscapes contains 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal frequences and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments. idiosyncratics is honoured to present these sound masters on idioscapes. infinite thanks to all of them.” y.f.

you’ve come a long way, baby...

2004-2005 roster-spanning double-cd overview from by far the most consistently appealing american record label since vanguard (ok... maybe finnadar)... yes, the price is correct, this is a double disc priced at $4.81. no reason to sleep on this one (at least until after you’ve acquired a copy and are all set for appreciation in your favorite chair/isolation tank).

i’ve got two pieces on here, one is the “psych” song from “antithesis”, the other is a rough version of a piece that will appear in a mildly transfigured state on “multiples”. plus you get an alternate version of one of greg’s “somnia” pieces, a brand-spanking new stars of the lid epic, and a smattering of jams from the last 10-odd kranky releases.

there’s never been a better time for the sort of horizontal-application sound-research that the kranky-label excels in...

kranky press release...

artist: various
title: kompilation
catalog #: krank077
formats available: 2xcd
release date: nov. 1, 2004

we'll provide the context — two compact discs filled with twenty one tracks. over 148 minutes of music. brand new music from pan•american. a preview of forthcoming albums from stars of the lid and keith fullerton whitman. an exclusive mix of an album track by greg davis. all priced cheap at less than the cost of a cd ep.

it's been years since there's been a kranky sampler (and that one came out in europe only) so it's time to show what we've been up to for the last few years. way back when compilations like pillows and prayers and wanna buy a bridge? inspired us to check out tons of bands. hopefully kompilation can perform the same function for today's fans.

august 2009 release ; just wow ...

possibly the penultimate release in a series of locked-groove releases instigated by rrron “emil beaulieau” lessard back in 1993 with the “rrr-100” 7” single record (feat. 50 locks per side by folks like jim o’rourke, idea fire company, borbetomagus, skullflower, chop shop, new blockaders, et.al) then again in 1998 with the “rrr-500” lp (250 on each side by ... one a piece by pretty much a who’s who of late-90s experimental sound) ...

and now, 11 years later, we get the next logical evolutive step ; 1000 locked grooves (500 per side !!!) ; 50 each by 20 artists picked by rrron based on the following algorithm ::

this time i decided to focus on only 20 artists and give them plenty of room to stretch out - really glad i did because this one is much more solid than the other two, noisewise

before i invited the artists, i had devised a simple formula for myself
50/50 = noise/electronic (experimental)
50/50 = new/old school
50/50 = usa/intn'l
50/50 = people i always work with/people i've never worked with

the unsung genius / hero here is undoubtedly aardvark mastering’s paul brekus, who must have spent countless man-hours getting the metal mothers cut just right (i can only imagine the number of time he got halfway through cutting a side before making a single mistake & having to start over from scratch !!!) ... despite the fallout from such a thing a thing (i.e. the deluge of blackened noise tapes & cdr’s i’m going to be handed at gigs over the next year or so comprised of “prurient loops” will undoubtedly be bafffling) the quality & attention to detail put forth by just about everyone is seriously impressive ... easily on the records of the year thusfar & a testament to the staying power & endless, mutating possibilities of the vinyl lp record ...

highest recommendation !!!

vivo press release...

black faction
reworked cd
vivo 2002 005 cd

the original intention of this album was to feature a few remixes from the previous black faction album internal dissident part - 1 released on soleilmoon recordings, however as things developed thru lots of email conversations with other musicians it developed into a full on project spanning a number of artists from various disciplines within the global contemporary music scene.

whilst attempting to stay relevant to the previous recordings in the similar vein, those who enjoyed the internal dissident will enjoy what is being delivered here. black faction have mixed up and reconstructed the works to ebb and flow in the stylistic manner has many times in the past delivered on his previous works. the album has a similar structure, and much like internal dissident it carries the same 'sound magnifique soundmark' that is black faction. the accent into purgatory or not is another matter.. thou it must be said this is very much a continuation of the same imitable style of dieys production, albeit generously helped along by his fellow souls... let the journey continue......
