click the play button to hear an excerpt of "untitled (4)"

crisp, minimal sound-research set from main’s robert hampson & chicagoland percussion maverick steven hess (fessenden, duos with greg davis, etc...) - not the musique concrète process-piece set you’d expect; more a set of digital treatments of hess’ attack-based material(s) into gritty, granular clouds punctuated with hess’ acoustic percussion.

quite stark... but ultimately a pretty bold step in a new direction for hampson (hess is in familiar territory)

crouton press release...

crouton no.31
robert hampson/steven hess:
"s/t"
cd

a sensible combination, brought to light by a chance contact resulting in a fairly lengthy process of recording, listening, and mixing. robert hampson, is, of course, the visionary behind sound behemoths loop and main, and even served a highly productive position within godflesh, organum, and also collaborated with jim o' rourke. steven hess is a percussionist who provides comfortably obscure rhythms and textures for pan american, fessenden, on, and haptic.

together, hampson and hess create a delightful peephole into the space where resonance from various percussions exist. these are the indirect moments that are just as real as those obvious times when a drummer nails the snare drum in 4/4 time. this is the stuff that for without, the attack, the beat, the percussion itself, would be lifeless pricks of meaningless sound. these recordings are filled with the active and excited ghost of interaction with material; highly unreal at times, and undeniably human at others. for those familiar with their previous endeavors, this is certain to please. for others, you are about to hear the collaboration of two people who know exactly what they are doing, and have created an even more powerful joined effort. clearly tasty.

cdep released in an edition of 500, packaged in mulitple layers of clear material. see?

main “transiency” compact disc single

transiency i
transiency ii
transiency iii
transiency iv

guitar-sourced medium-form piece for mr. hampson... i recall with glee fleeing to newbury comics every monday for months looking for new installments of mr. hampson’s “hz’ series of cd5s on beggar’s banquet. beatiful, sublime little things... full of mystery and just gorgeous artwork. now we get tigerbeat6 editions, poorly printed with garish photoshop nightmare dna-strands. fortunately the music’s still the same, the spirit’s still there. for that electric guitar - musique concrète crossover hampson really can’t be beat. brilliant stuff...

sub rosa (belgium) #sr 199 cd

“4 parabolic mixes - live recordings” double compact disc set

henri pousseur - first parabolic mix (29:14)
main / robert hampson - second parabolic mix (27:38)
philip jeck - third parabolic mix (27:27)
oval / markus popp - fourth parabolic mix (34:10)

interesting set wherein 3 contemporary electronic musicians of differing backgrounds were asked to compose and perform new constructions of henri pousseur’s 1972 8-channel opus “8 études paraboliques” (itself having been issued in 2001 by sub rosa as a 4cd set intended for partial and complete simultaneous playback). along with a contemporary take by mr. pousseur himself...

this double cd proposes 4 unpublished tracks based on "parabolic studies" -(limited edition 4cd box set by henri pousseur / sr174) first one by the pioneer of electronic music henri pousseur followed by robert hampson/ main, philip jeck, oval

transhisorics
in november 2001, we had just published henri pousseur's "8 parabolic studies" ("8 études paraboliques") in a box of 4 cds - these electronic pieces have been created in 1972 at the wdr studios in cologne. the idea was to ask other musicians, of different generations, to attempt a new mix on the basis of these eight studies. the first mix (and not re-mix) was a re-interpretation by henri pousseur himself – this laid the foundation stone of the edifice. contrary to the mixes carried out thirty years ago, these were made digitally. the second mix was robert hampson's - quite nervous of the master's reaction, who was present during the set. robert, who holds an exhaustive knowledge of electronic music from its origins and of all its aspects - even of the more obscure ones -gave a personal but faithful interpretation of pousseur's studies. another degree of alteration was highlighted by philip jeck, who created a massive and powerful set, adding sounds from other sources (which is totally allowed according to pousseur's original concept). and finally, oval - according to the process that is quintessential to his work, markus popp could only produce a piece far removed from its sources; since it is within sound itself that all sonorous source passes through the ovalprocess, thus becoming ovalmusic - that is, music having its very own properties. we already had an unstable timeline that spanned from the original to a radically different piece - engrossing intermediary stages of destructuring. it is precisely these stages that were reconstituted here.
