digiv029: concern "truth & distance" lp

gordon ashworth is concern and this is his manifesto. "truth & distance" is a mini-epic, a minor masterpiece. within these sonic walls lies a stunning landscape, adrift in golden tones and silver siren songs. ashworth creates beautiful, shimmering music that defies categorization. it stands on its own, droning away into the furthest reaches of the night. using only acoustic instrumentation, ashworth conceives pieces of music in which resonance and timbre mutate and in the air and unfold naturally, organically.

hints of piano glisten like night shadows whispering through the leaves. strings are bowed and plucked into oblivion. everything is turned into a pile of reverb. everyone is a ghost. the title track starts with frayed edges and continually dials back, trying to not to fall apart. ashworth's skill in wrangling discordant sounds out of his array of acoustics seems to grow as the piece flows along. daunting as the seemingly endless layers of droning tones may be, its the all-enveloping nature of this music that makes it so engaging. like hearing basinski destroy and rework peter broderick's deepest compositions, "truth & distance" feels familiar while sounding new.

as the final, looping piano chords of "heartsink" disintegrate into oblivion, concern has gone all in. this is music that trades in immediacy for reservation and restraint. ashworth is able to combine all these elements into towering aural monuments that he scatters through the air and down into the soil. it's all coming up roses this time.

new vinyl edition features extended cuts of all three pieces from the original cd, adding 10 minutes of new music that pushes the album to another level. in addition there is all new art and a cut by berlin's d+m.

oscillating innards “grey variables” long playing record

  • circumspect shedding

    october slit
    discreet path
    through thin months,
    shed sweat and spread secret
    beneath sour orchards.
    pathetic harrower,
    are your thoughts mirrored in mine?

  • ascetic circummure
august 2008 release ; simply gorgeous japanese limited-edition vinyl lp of alternating low-end drones, scraping-metal anti-music, and harsh noise-walls by gordon “oscillating innards” ashworth ...

i remember a time (not all that long ago) where japanese noise vinyl was depressingly out-of-reach & ludicrously expensive ; kudos to kotomi / molehill for keeping this one down in the upper fringes of the average noise-fanatic’s monthly record-budget ...

[dogma 007] oscillating innards "grey variables" lp lim.280

long awaited 1st full-length lp by american vital slugger gordon ashworth is finally out. two long tracks documented in portland, oregon 2006-2007. fierce and solid burst with shrill metal junk roar, whirl high-frequency feedbacks and brutal vocal, is a circumspect composition of laying heavy assaults from physical strength and depressive electronics. explosion break the silence, the silence erode explosion. when you look up the horizon, your blood will remember 'grey variables'.

hand-numbered limited edition 280 copies, comes on clear vinyl in heavy polysleeve with a silkscreened paper band and a postcard. 45rpm for maximum frequency and sparkling dynamics.

june 2006 release ; completely out-doing the other geographic-survey boxes is this titanic 10-lp set, covering 20 major harsh-noise artists situated up & down the pch ...

worth it for the wiese, yellow swans, colley, solid eye, and gerritt sides; but actually the sides by the artists i wasn’t already familiar with (oscillating innards, specifically) are pretty rad/boss to boot...

important to note that this isn’t all harsh-noise per se. there’s quite a bit of sound-research antics, some free-skronk, and more than one side-length blissed-out drone ... and for fuck’s sake, the amps for christ side is an all-out free-folk bit (with sitars no less !)

note that this weighs 4 (four) pounds !!!!
