click the play button to hear an excerpt of "southgate house"
december 2007 release; a 500-copy limited lp reissuing a 2005 collective jyrk 3”cdr (the piece on the b-side) along with a new / never-been-heard-before piece from late last year (the a-side) from the quartet of c. spencer yeh & mike shiflet (aka burning star core) and gms & pete swanson (aka d. yellow swans).

lovely maroon swirly vinyl to boot ::


this could have easily wandered into clusterfuck territories fresh out da gate (the two duos, respectively, produce their fair share of sound) - thankfully the participants are given room to stretch out a bit; the individual instrumental elements (violin, guitar, & vocals, space-electronics...) quite discernible throughout as the quartet summon up wave after wave of rusty electric drones & creepy, 11th hour smoke ...

ecstatic peace! (usa) #e# 105 lp

16 bitch pile-up / mike shifletmake like a fetus and abort / extract, behold” long playing record

  • 16 bitch pile-up - make like a fetus and abort

  • mike shiflet - extract, behold
ecstatic peace! press release...
16 bitch pile-up / mike shiflet
make like a fetus and abort / extract, behold
cat: e#105

ohio has been rampant on the ecstatic peace play lists lately with the release of a long player earlier this year by leslie keffer and a forthcoming split lp by emeralds and tusco terror. like keffer, who’s moved to nashville (to be closer to be your own pet), 16 bitch pile-up and mike shiflet are both ex-pats of ohio. 16 bitch to california and shiflet to some weird small town in japan.

mike shiflet we’ve known for years as he has produced some of the more interesting tapes and whatnot of midwestern out-ness from his gameboy label and from his legendary duo tour with burning star core / c. spencer yeh of a few years back. like the amazing beard he has sported since childhood his music is a free-fall of acoustic wonder.

he is also the cat responsible for turning on most of the world to the radical charms of three girls from ohio wickedly named 16 bitch pile-up. with a name like that you may have expected something just kinda funny but what made itself imminently obvious was that 16 bitch was really and extremely into producing a wholly personal thrombosis of noise improvisation. crystallized to the trio of sarah bernat, sarah cathers and shannon walter this trio has become one of the most consistently exciting live experiences of the last five years. these recordings by both artists were done when both were still residents of ohio and reflect that time and space right before each other’s exodus. they are raw and righteous and ready for you to take a bite.

gameboy (japan) #gb 096 cd

michael bernstein / mike shifletlive, new york” compact disc recordable

  • live, new york
click the play button to hear an excerpt of "live, new york"
gameboy press release...
gb96
michael r. bernstein & mike shiflet :
live, new york : cdr

synthesizer, laptop and beard power combined for the second time in september, 2006. invited to play the erstquake festival by joh abbey & chris wolf, bernstein & shiflet hit the stage for a set focused solely on modulation and movements, not exactly what the crowd wanted to hear.

post-festival internet responses ranged from "pretty boring with little to engage me" to "my least favourite set of the fest" to " not at all into [it]". one or two people may have also had something good to say. the fellas hiding behind the computer screen and the overly large synth stand behind it 100% though.

expect more (studio recordings) from this duo in the not-so-distant future.

cdr edition of 100.

gameboy (usa) #gb 002 ep

noumena / season of discontentsplit” seven inch single record

  • noumena “platform for a new religion”
  • season of discontent “mankind gets electrocuted while the the others sit back and laugh”
second gameboy release, rocking a moon, pa address. mike shiflet on one side, manhandling the divining-rod, seasons of discontent on the other, doing god-only-knows-what.
gameboy press release...
an electronic gathering only ohio could spawn. we met the seasons at an assuck show in cleveland forever ago. conversation on BN lead to noise talk and tape exchange. we were hooked. here's what came of it:

noumena adds new-found 303 chirp to their feedback-drenched guitar work, whilest season of discontent contribute an extremely dense, unidentifiable wall of tapes, computers, vocals, effects and who-knows-what-else.

nice offering all-around. on gold vinyl and packaged in aluminum foil covers with bee image affixed.

mike shifletichinomiya 5.3.6” compact disc

  • ichinomiya (47:00)
click the play button to hear an excerpt of "ichinomiya 5.3.6"
a monster of a resonant meditation on mike shiflet’s surroundings in his adopted homeland. superlative, evocative work calling to mind eliane radigue’s extended stasis and the delicate rumble/whine of any number of “classic era” live-electronic improvisors...
little enjoyer press release...
ichinomiya: first shrine
5.3.6: constitution day

with simultaneous beauty and isolation, this album isn't a dedication to the my home in rural japan but rather an attempt to replicate the mindset the village inspires and put the listener in the same headspace. please listen to the disc in its entirety. turn everything else off and play loud. - mike shiflet

february 2007 full-length from c. spencer yeh’s burning star core - here mostly solo but featuring a quartet of spencer, robert beatty (hair police), mike shiflet, and trevor tremaine on one track (the last.)

five pieces bordering on sound-art in places; much found/experimental instrumentation assembled into tiny universes of micro-detail. awesome.

12 burning star core 'blood lightning 2007' cd

creeping drones, strange mutilated vocal incursions, and compositions full of unidentifiable sounds both acoustic and electronic. another classic in sound exploration from the mind of mr. c. spencer yeh. this is the sound of humanity looking into the depth of their soul searching for a reason to continue fighting the daily maze of homo sapien life. the three sisters on the front cover of this album all have the "mark of the devil. like all no fun productions cd's comes in the deluxe classic mini-gatefold style no fun cd case.
