| march 2010 release ; impressive “collage of sixty-six live recordings from 1997-2008” from c. spencer yeh’s burning star core, featuring input from mainstays robert “three legged race” beatty, mike shiflet, & trevor tremaine ... along with input from folks like mike connelly, john rich, jeremy lesniak, dave rempis, craig shepard, and all of lambsbread ...
was expecting this to be more fractured / cut-up considering the lineage, but it’s actually a rather seamless blend of the squaunchy free-improv, kraut motorik, sound-poetry, cracked electronics, and kosugi-esque string-drone workouts that so define the band’s overall mystery-approach ...
an essential release for any fan of contemporary sound ; housed in a lovely metallic stoughton gatefold for extra added weight ... |

ah, the live album: often a tool for bands looking to wiggle out of contracts or perhaps, squeeze a few more pennies from a loyal fanbase. rare is it a work of art. inspired by these singular instances (grayfolded, the grateful dead; sonic death, sonic youth; in search of spaces, flying saucer attack) c. spencer yeh, the lone constant of the long-running burning star core project, conceptualized papercuts theater: one long piece (broken into four movements) culled from over sixty live performances, spanning years and continents. these formerly disparate relics of time and space now exist as one: a sonic document of the present. |
