headlights press release...

marcia bassett & margardia garcia the well headlights lph14 hand-numbered edition of 200 copies lp on manuel mota’s private headlights imprint documenting a heavyweight duo set from marcia bassett of zaimph, hototogisu, double leopards, ghq et al and improvising portuguese bassist and guitarist margardia garcia. garcia is one of the major new generation european free players, coming out of the same scene as mota, and she’s just as capable of generating swans-style industrial entropy as she is playing explosive fire music. here bassett uses keyboard and guitar to create austere arcs of industrial-strength drone that garcia anchors with tactile, questing strings, giving the whole thing an odd avant-classical backbone.

utech press release...

m. bassett / j. gräf "peradam" cd in rene daumal's mount analogue, a peradam is described as a clear and extremely hard stone, a true crystal. it is so transparent that it is nearly impossible to see. to discover a peradam was always the result of an inner act. at said moment in time, the stone's brilliance might catch the eye of one who seeks the truth. most peradams were found on the rough and dangerous trails up the mountain. peradam is the result of marcia bassett (zaimph, hototogisu) and jenny gräf (harrius, metalux) collaborating to map the arrival of their music. the three recordings on display reveal grainy, melodic vocal expressions combined with ritualistic, slow-burning noise and both women's belief in mysterious creativity. photograph by masahiro miyasaka. edition of 500.
