amethyst sunset (usa) #as-005 lp

keith fullerton whitman / mike shiflet “070325 b/w 080409” long playing record

keith fullerton whitman - 070325 (14:32)
mike shiflet - 080409 (19:50)

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 ...

ben vida / keith fullerton whitman “splitaggregatepulseripper (damaged iiii) b/w 080114” long playing record

ben vida - aggregatepulseripper (damaged iiii) (11:31)
keith fullerton whitman - 080114 (18:20)

june 2011 release ; third vinyl-only release in amish’s “required wreckers” series, offering a studio piece from ben vida (the first issued evidence of his switch from a keyboard-based moog voyager-centric setup to a computer-controlled eurorack modular) & a live piece from myself (making this the third in the “split series”), about which ::

great gig, still one of my favorites ; something of a "stone soup" event centered around the arrival of serfs from the uk. greg kelley set up a bill with heathen shame (wayne & kate from twisted village / major stars / magic hour & greg himself) & dan lopatin (just post-astronaut breakup, when he was still going as “dania shapes” or maybe already "magic oneohtrix point never" ; a reference to the boston soft-rock magnates) ... i had heard serfs on a singing knives comp & was intrigued enough to offer to schlep my gear down the hill ...

chronologically, this was the fourth of the solo synthesizer sets ; the theme here was economy ... i made a point of using each cv-source in as many ways as possible. throughout the recording you can clearly hear people talking in the room (even as this was in the days before gerry decided to tear down the wall between the bar & the stage) as well as sound coming from different areas :: a small, battery powered speaker on stage right, the giant barbetta on stage left ... each speaker was being fed a different patch respective of its frequency response ; the high, squeaky hysteresis is all analogue (from two of the limewire modules run in a feedback loop) & the loud, buzzing pitched noise is all digital (zorlon cannon, clocking itself via a cv-feedback loop with a sample & hold circuit in the send) ... a single master-clock is timing all events ; the same noise-source that's feeding the timing events is also generating the quantized "melodies" near the end. the only effects (other than the extensive use of wave-form geometry modifiers) are the 4096 bbd delay (again, being controlled by the same sample & hold result) & the built-in spring reverb (sounding as buzzy as ever) ...

note that there is no sequencing at any point, nor any straight time throughout (even the somewhat quantized-sounding section in the middle is rather "drunk", computationally speaking) ... during the twenty-second burst of extremely high-mid-frequency sine-wave action about 10 minutes in, someone (i forget who exactly) actually climbed over everyone & ran for the door holding his/her ears in a state of utter terror ... not a single other person even seemed to notice the tone or the egress ...

... as with the last two lp’s in the series, this comes in a gorgeous b/w outer sleeve, to which a letter-pressed “badge” has been affixed with string ; inside there a 16-page booklet of photographs by meredyth spark (who also designed the cover) ... it’s also worth noting that marcus schmickler’s assist on the frequency-spectrum representation (ben’s side sounds crisp & direct, but i’m more blown away at how he turned a distant, back-of-the-room “field recording” into a detail-heavy monster) ...

amish press release...

ami 033 r/w
ben vida / keith fullerton whitman
aggregatepulseripper (damaged iiii) / 080114

the third iteration in the required wreckers series, a split lp featuring new and exclusive work from ben vida and keith fullerton whitman (ami-033 r/w). having collaborated over the last decade as a trio with greg davis, this release features new solo-work by two of america's most important emerging sound artists.

the first side of this release debuts a new composition from ben vida. in keeping with his recent patchwork-based compositions, aggregatepulseripper (damaged iiii) continues to explore vida's interest in both digital and analog control sources, a compositional process that refuses to fetishize one technology over another and, more interestingly, appears (though, of course, these appearances are deceptive) to displace the musician's hand from the compositional process. in light of vida's early work with the acoustic ensemble, town and country, and the world music and concrete studies of his solo project, bird show, this new compositional method should not be overemphasized. for this piece, vida creates a complex web of patches that change and morph in what he has contextualized as a series of shifting generative patterns. the subtitle of his piece references how these patterns coalesce in aggressive, almost hardcore, clusters of sound that refuse to slip into contemplative or mystical arenas that so many in today's electronic music reference in relation to their work. vida's composition opts instead to remain engaged in the phenomenal and spatial forces that shape our perception of sound.

the flipside of this lp features keith fullerton whitman's third in a series of splits (previous releases have included no fun production's b/w carlos giffoni and amethyst sunset's b/w with mike shiflet) documenting a particularly productive period in his creative output - a series of "synth concerts" from 2007 and 2008. recorded on january 14, 2008 at pa's lounge in somerville, ma, this piece documents the fourth in whitman's solo synthesizer sets. his technical set-up is based around a theme (and circuitry) of economy, in which the artist makes use of each cv-source in a variety of fashions. throughout the recording one can discern talking from the audience and ambient room-tone noise, as well as sound coming from different sources spread throughout the room - a small battery powered speaker on stage right, a giant barbetta on stage left. each speaker was fed into a different patch irrespective of its frequency response. whitman uses a hybrid system of digital and analog sound sources that, with the exception of a single 4096 bd delay, is presented here without treatment, overdub, or sequencing of any sort.

new york-based artist meredyth spark provides the cover art and sixteen-page booklet for this release. sparks has been assisting amish for the last few years with design and layout. this is the first release to exclusively feature her work. the images and design elements for the cover art come from her extraction series (in truth, the front and back covers are extractions of her extractions), paintings and collages that draw heavily from the aleatory methods and analog/digital processes that both vida and whitman utilize in their recordings.

chocolate monk (uk) #choc.217 cd

fritz dietl “webcor” compact disc-recordable

tape (3:00)
baoding tape (8:45)
complete tape (13:45)

august 2010 release ; i’m not going to lie to you ... i didn’t have anything to do with this disc, musically ...

i didn’t record it in westwood, nj in 1988 (although i did frequent mr. dietl’s famed ice-skating rink a few years prior, where more often than not i was feigning an ankle injury in the warm environs of the staging area, wiping out round after round of bubbles on the “scrubber” machine) ... nor did i, after hearing anton bruhin’s “inout” in 1998 procure a webcor tape machine & begin recording hours upon days of pause-button sound-poetry, guitar zonk, accordion jams, farfisa blurt, and cymbal-bash etudes, making copious use of the unit’s speed controls and quick-response transport to come up with basically an “answer” to bruhin (ok, a rip-off, i’ll admit it ... even though i staunchly deny it) ...

one thing’s for sure :: i most certainly didn’t perfectly balance a baoding ball on the unit, perfectly nestled amidst the rollers and reels, where it was set in motion by the tape itself, then disabled the erase head & recorded the results with the supplied microphone onto the tape itself, sound-on-sound style ... and when that was done, i absolutely did not overdub the baoding & bruhin tapes on top of each other, then play & record them with the baoding spinning ...

comes in a black & white slip-sleeve with collages that geoff mullen did not do ... not recommended !!!

choc.217

some weirdo magnetic tape dupster find, reassembled by keith fullerton whitman into a acidfied bruhin-esque beastly smell.

none of this gibberish, which seems to have been made mainly with half-depressed pause, fast-forward and rewind buttons (and maybe a half-depressed albanian cobbler), have any titles, so let me suggest a few: "butt.er.fl.eyes," "camel nad spit," "looka mi puddy (version)," "borg 9," "sitting on the harpsichord watching all the frogs go by," "the crepitation contest (pts 7-10)," "paddling the dinosaur," "stiffened argyle dangler," "rooster in a juicer," and "syd barrett's series of unfortunate furniture collapses." all kidding aside, i don't have the slightest idea what kind of sustained panic attack might have caused this record. maybe it was an overdose of mint snuff and a pickled egg enema in tinkly-winkly land that leaked out this gooey crust. your goose is as good as mine.

keith fullerton whitman / alien radio “101105 b/w text adventures” long playing record

keith fullerton whitman - 101105
alien radio - text adventures
alien radio - magnete
alien radio - die wendt-hülle
alien radio - vhs phantome
alien radio - der runde

june 2011 release ; fourth in the “split series” of live synthesizer pieces, featuring a fairly manic rising even / odd-harmonic ripper (recorded last year at public assembly in brooklyn during one of the “bunker” nights on a bill with geoff mullen & robert “lichens” lowe) backed with a stellar set of modular jams from aosuke / datashock’s ulf schütte under his alien radio guise ...

... the typically miracle-oriented d&m cut does an outstanding job of allowing for the re-creation of the bunker’s bass bin brown-out in your domicile (if you can’t hear anything for the first few minutes you need new speakers !!!) ; a modal phase-lock sawtooth canon is sent through a slowly-opening diode ladder that, pausing only temporarily to vibrate a smaller & smaller set of un-bolted-down appointments in public assembly’s bar-space, climbs through the spectral strata until a pair of upper & lower-octave clones swarm in & complete the equation ... i can only say that i was going for a “power electronics” cross-breed of heldon & tom cameron (i may have actually succeeded ; time will tell) ; the straight-meter throughout my only concession to the (albeit, extremely open-minded) dance-oriented crowd ...

... on the flip, ulf really nails down a quintet of hi-fi buchla-inspired pieces ; all vactrol bongos & slyly fm’ed sweeps that’s a perfect simulacrum of cecil leuter’s library-music work ... the whole thing’s housed in a honey of a trompe-l’oeil sleeve (it’s not die-cut ; it’s just an illusion) that deals a perfect visual analogue to the variably fried sonics enclosed within ...

keith fullerton whitman / alien radio
s/t
lp

we are stoked and honoured to release this deutsch-amerikanische meeting of two meisters of the modular electronic music system (originally invented by don buchla in 1963 for the likes of morton subotnick, ramon sender, terry riley et al at the san francisco tape music center). both are presenting very distinct approaches displaying the vast possibilities of the machine yet maintaining similar klang aesthetics (and maximum quality).

kfw is a renowned master of the modular, especially in live situations. "101105" is whitman captured at his most symphonic. recorded last year at one of the semi-monthly "the bunker" parties in brooklyn opening for members of ectomorph he sent the audience (all high on lsd) straight into sawtooth arpeggio heaven. "101105" is a condensed edit of these recordings, cut on 45rpm for maximum fidelity.

kfw has released records on a myriad of labels, most notably on kranky and planet µ (under his hrvatski pseudonym). last year's (vinyl-only) album "disingenuity b/w disingenuousness" on pan made it into many year-end top 10 lists, including the wire and boomkat. this year whitman has been commissioned a residency at grm studios to work on a piece for françois bayle's original 80-channel acousmonium!

alien radio is one of many aliases of northern germany's ulf schütte, a (part-time) member of datashock, black to comm, aosuke, phantom horse, etc. and founder of the tape tektoniks cassette label. his recent modular system explorations showcase a more basic, sketchy and song-based approach, reminding of jan jelinek's ursula bogner recordings and having been compared to the likes of conny planck, delia derbyshire and dick raaijmakers. his debut release was a split 7" on the belgian kraak label with köhn, ducktails and peaking lights.

entschuldigen (usa) #ent mich cd

hrvatski “irrevocably overdriven break freakout megamix” compact disc

irrevocably overdriven break freakout megamix (40:39) (91 tracks) including: concert reel intro • ink • une drole de journee • rhetoric (revamped) • epoxy (demo) • heavy.mallow (vocal version) • uncivilibertarian (reworked) • our turn (revised) • routine exercise (recontexualized) • marbles/hekla’s steeze (rewoven) • eintrag raum • kochen raum (dub version) • glamp • pale.overture • 2nd zero fidelity mandible investigation • une drole de journee (reprise) • whalesplosion

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...

carlos giffoni / keith fullerton whitman “techno b/w 070207” long playing record

carlos giffoni - techno
keith fullerton whitman - 070207 (15:51)

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

no fun productions press release...

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.

keith fullerton whitman “disingenuity b/w disingenuousness” long playing record

disingenuity (17:14)
disingenuousness (16:22)

september 2010 release ; oof ... what a long, strange trip it’s been getting this one in stock / out into the world ; but you certainly can’t argue with the results !!! essentially my five-years-in-the-making love letter to the intersection of “aleatoric tape music” & “automatic synth music”, commissioned by pan’s bill kouligas back in 2008 but begun as early as the wrap-up of “multiples” in 2005 ...

... scouring craiglistings one day, i came across a fellow unloading a bank of 10 mono nagra tape recorders, used on a local film shoot ; needless to say i jumped at the chance to get one for a reasonable price & began recording hours of banal field recordings in & around my neighborhood (i.e. walking home in the snow, the sounds of airplanes & helicopters flying overhead, children playing in a local playground & in the mms office) ... spurred on by decades of listening to the canonic “aleatoric tape music” sides such as bernard bonnier’s “casse-tête”, luis de pablo’s “we (nosotros)”, costin mieranu’s “luna cinese”, basil kirchin’s two “worlds within worlds” lps, dub taylor’s “lumiere” ... as well as “automatic synth” chestnuts like steve birchall’s “reality gates”, douglas leedy’s “entropical paradise”, michael czajkowski’s “people the sky”, and richard pinhas “rhizosphere” ... i began building a system wherein the aforementioned field recordings would, through the careful patching of the eurorack modular i’ve been ... amassing ... since 2003, “trigger” musical events, thus largely removing the composer from the equation ...

the a-side of this lp, “disingenuity,” features a minimally edited selection of segments generated by affixing contact mic’s to the body of the nagra (one on the speaker, one on the transport, and one on the bulky record / playback switch) ; peaks from the simple act of starting & stopping the machine were converted to triggers, triggers to random voltages, voltages to control information (i.e. filter cutoffs, ring modulator carrier frequencies, analogue delay time, panning, etc ..) ... eventually to the ramshackle aggregate of sounds that make up the piece ...

the b-side dovetails two entirely automatic patches into one continuous piece, starting with a raw pulse wave, then some tape interference, then (largely) a section of runaway sawtooth arpeggiating (recorded in differing configurations at a pair of concerts given at the stone in new york & the music gallery in toronto) that i think does a good job of meeting my love of “berlin school” electronic music & the often beat-less muscle of the whole basic channel / chain reaction “thing” halfway ... this gives way to a nice quantized mono sine-wave patch (controlled by simply walking towards, then away from a single light-sensor) before returning to the pulse ...

after working on this for so long, i’m really glad to see it return to the earth via this eye-popping edition, c/o the hard work (& constant pestering !!! all of which i needed !!!) of pan’s bill kouligas, who i think out-did even himself with the whole look / feel of the final package (also thought having d&m’s rachad becker cut the lacquers was a nice touch given the “theme” of the b-side) ... this is both an aside to, and an integral part of the more real-time electronic music work i’ve been mapping out over the past few years ...

pan press release...

keith fullerton whitman 'disingenuity b/w disingenuousness' (pan 13)

keith fullerton whitman bursts back with his first full length record in four years, "disingenuity b/w disingenuousness", comprising of two pieces of forward thinking electronic music with a deep exploration into the analogue sound. live and studio recordings of the past two years (cambridge-new york-toronto) were used as source material, which were then realized into two longform compositions. using a musique concrète approach of deconstructed sounds (ala pietro grossi, costin miereanu, basil kirchin, dub taylor, etc) "disingenuity b/w disingenuousness" encompasses various reference points from françois bayle, jacques lejeune, richard pinhas & heldon to the minimal textures of basic channel-chain reaction axis...

both tape-collage pieces which derived from an hour-long improvisation based around a setup involving a tape of chance field-recordings (a helicopter, walking on snow, children) bounced to a mono nagra tape machine, which is covered in contact mic's that translate not just the sound coming from the speakers, but the actual mechanical "interface" of the unit into control voltage & triggers that drive a modular synth that's processing said audio using the classic electronic music toolkit (i.e. ring modulation, panning vca's, filters, etc).

keith fullerton whitman is an american electronic musician who has recorded albums influenced by many genres, including ambient music, drone, electronic, drill and bass, musique concrète and krautrock. he records and performs using many aliases, of which the most familiar is hrvatski and has been also member in many 90s bands, including el-ron, the liver sadness, sheket/trabant, the finger lakes and gai/jin. he started recording using his own name in 2001, and most of his work recorded today is under that name. he studied computer music at berklee college of music, where he was exposed to modern electronic music composition and synthesis. his moniker asciii has released music distributed with an academic journal. his studio and live setup usually consists of computer devices and other analogue instruments, such as guitars, ouds and synthesizers. whitman has released albums on labels such as planet mu, kranky, carpark records, no fun productions, root strata as well on his own entschuldigen and (now defunct) reckankreuzungsklankewerkzeuge labels.

the lp is mastered and cut by rashad becker at d&m, in a limited edition of 500 copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. it is packaged in a pro-press color jacket which itself is housed in a silk screened pvc sleeve with artwork by bill kouligas.

keith fullerton whitman “live generators (1)” c38 cassette and c34 cassette set

generator 1.0 • 090919 • cafe du nord, san francisco (18:41)
generator 1.1 • 090927 • the armory, somerville (17:41)
generator 1.2 • 091009 • spectacle, boston (16:41)
generator 1.3 • 091024 • the elevens, northampton (15:41)

february 2011 ; ... seeing as every single one of the generator releases has been out-of-print for the last six months (and as as this was my main body of work for the past year) i’ve successfully urged the ptb over @ protracted view to issue a second pressing of this set ... comes in the same notch-free “side by side” double-norelco, with the only differences being that the tapes themselves now come with black liners, wrapped in a slightly re-configured insert-strategy (see detail below) ...

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 !!!

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

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 !!!

2002 polish remix cd of tracks found on black faction's second soleilmoon release "internal dissident" - a bunch of very nice mixes from john hudak as well as one by yours truly ...

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......
