| | | hanson (usa) #hn 250 lp aaron dilloway “modern jester” double long playing record set - tremors
- eight cut scars (for robert turman)
- labyrinths & jokes
- body chaos
- look over your shoulder
- shatter all organized activities (eat the rich)
- after the showers
| january 2012 release ; ... epic, double-lp set (incidentally, a vg-kids gatefold is just about the most goddamm gorgeous thing to behold ; detail below) of aaron dilloway’s tape & synthesizer music, recorded over a 4-year period ...
... even if this were just a reissue of the tape of the same name (it’s not, although arguably the best track from said is here ; the multi-temporal, terry riley on crystal meth spazz-out “eight cut scars” - listen to the second part of sound-sample for an extended segment - mind-boggling) this would be a major release ... but even better, it’s something of a “greatest hits”, incorporating recent work from his nevari butchers project & (largely, actually) a bunch of otherwise unreleased material, all of it working with the same palette of munged tape-spool grit, found audio, and modular synthesizer blurst that he’s pretty much dominated for the better part of the last decade ...
in short ; a totally fucking incredible record, easily one of the best things i’ve heard this year thusfar ... highly recommended !!! |

artist: aaron dilloway
title: modern jester
catalog number: hn250
format: gatefold double lp
edition: 500 copies
release date: january 31, 2012.
"modern jester" is quite possibly the culmination of everything we've heard from dilloway that's come before it. a hyper-focused monolithic double lp that distills all past phases of inspiration into a harrowing, but strangely beautiful journey.
- fred thomas, all music guide |
aaron dilloway on tape loops, percussion, synthesizer, junk, voice, and tape fx recorded 2008 – 2011.
500 copies. silkscreened gatefold sleeve.
note: with the exception of one track (eight cut scars), this is a completely different release than the cassette title of the same name.every second of this recording contains subliminal messages.
from short bursts to long-form, hallucinatory epics, it's a sprawling collection that highlights every facet of dilloway's considerable arsenal. one of the album's two side-long attacks, ‘look over your shoulder’ is a lurid, subtly shifting piece with disembodied vocals and a barrage of extra-terrestrial tones that slithers into your cerebral cortex atop a funeral rhythm.
