cd digisleeve

cd re-issue of the first instalment in the new "cosmic debris" split art-lp series set up by maurizio and roberto opalio, aka my cat is an alien. this volume i sees the two space brothers from torino, italy, alongside lee ranaldo (sonic youth) and his all-star ensemble text of light* (here featuring alan licht, dj olive, ulrich krieger and tim barnes).

their track "033103 paris" has been recorded live at centre georges pompidou in 2003 and mixed in dual mono by ranaldo & licht at nyc echo canyon studio. mciaa's piece entitled "everything falls like cosmic debris" is a conceptual ouverture to the whole series, performed in april 2006 at their secret recording space called alien zone, located up the italian western alps.

the five-volumes series "cosmic debris" features my cat is an alien alongside text of light, steve roden, keiji haino, mats gustafsson, loren connors & his haunted house band. each cd cover artwork reproduces the full image and details of the acrylic paintings created by roberto opalio for each copy of the original vinyl edition on mciaa's own opax records. cd comes in a digi-sleeve textured cardboard cover.

room40 (australia) #edrm410 cd

text of light “rotterdam.1” compact disc

rotterdam.1 (19:24)

2006 release ; raucous blast of electric free improv from alan licht, lee ranaldo, ulrich krieger, tim barnes, and dj olive ...

room40 press release...

text of light
rotterdam.1

recorded at the rotterdam international film festival in january 2005, this explosive piece from text of light typifies their abilities as a vivid freeform improvisational unit. ranaldo and licht’s measured guitar work sets a basis on which kreiger’s blaring saxtronics, barnes’ percussive explorations and dj olive’s swirling turntable incursions can intertwine and augment one another. this piece ebbs and flows, each of the players listening intently and guiding the proceedings with disarmingly sublime yet focused intensity.

like all their recorded works to date, this piece was delivered in tandem with a live film projection – this interaction between 20th century abstract and experimental film and live improvised performance at the very core of the unit.

text of light on rotterdam 1 are:

alan licht: guitar
lee ranaldo: guitar, electronics
ulrich krieger: sax, sax-tronics
dj olive: turntables, powerbook
tim barnes: drums, percussion

recorded by martin van rappard and edited by lee ranaldo and alan licht.

new series framework

an extension of our concrete electronics noise, a brand new mix-up of unusual conceptions of sound material by young unknown composers, well known not-so-young composers and old but clever composers.

ulrich krieger studied classical saxophone, composition, electronic music and musicology at the manhattan school of music (new york), the universität der künste (berlin) and the freie universität (berlin). since the late 1980s he became more and more interested in american music and its different approaches (chance music, process music, just intonation, multi-stylistic, minimalism, drone). in 1991 he moved to new york. in the 'cage of saxophones' series krieger recorded the complete saxophone and any-instrument works of john cage for mode records. the first one focuses on drone music (cage, tenney, niblock), while the second focuses on pattern music (reich, glass, riley) in the early 1990s he started working on a more electronic approach. he began developing an original amplification for the saxophone and various live-electronic signal processing set-ups. in the electronic experimental field he collaborated with rock, noise and ambient artists like karkowski, merzbow, koener, toeplitz. he also worked with the berlin ensemble "zeitkratzer" for which he transcribed lou reed's metal machine music.

text of light is a 2001 founded formation with lee ranaldo and alan licht, performing along with films of experimental film maker stan brakhage (1933-2003).

metal machine trio began in 2008 together with lou reed and sarth calhoun as an experimental free rock project.
