| | may 2010 release ; inspired one-off collaboration between zaïmph’s marcia bassett & metalux’ jenny “j.” gräf ... three sprawling, monolithic takes, rife with marcia’s buzzsaw guitar-spray, jenny’s careening electronics & vocals, and tons of effects & processing (including some lovely backwards-masking ; listen to the sound-sample for a taste) yielding a fine smear of gained sound, nestled somewhere between “doom” conventions, electro-acoustic improv, and “noise” (there’s even a “folky” track in the middle that wouldn’t be out of place on a charalambides record) ... |

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.
