iovae / three legged race “split” seven inch single record

iovae “heliofugue
three legged race “calling order”

summer 2006 split single between ron “iovae” orvitz and robert “hair police/eyes and arms of smoke” beatty. comes in a killer moiré-causing transparency/fold-over sleeve, with a 7” flat and the black-label vinyl inside.

epicene sound systems press release...

iovae “heliofugue”
autum 2004 - the sun, oscillators, reverb

three legged race “calling order”
winter 2004/2005 - blue jays, reverb

“two of my favorite modern noise makers from the states have to be hair police and iovae. this is very close to being a split from both.

iovae is ron orovitz also known as the d.j. on art damage radio, a memeber of the no-wave nosie group death beam, a noise weirdos wild gunman. for iovae's track we get slow churning crackle, pop and hiss from the "grinder" (a series of ancient military oscillators) that builds into what sounds like the church bell tones of a satanic mass echoing through the devils canyon.

3 legged race is robert from hair police and eyes and arms of smoke. for the race side we get one ominous heavenly droning swelling tone which is given the extreme reverb treatment until it sounds like a white washed blissed out radiant hum.

the artwork was designed by robert and is a must see. one sheet of lines with a transparency of lines. but when one is placed over the othere, you start to see a hidden image. also just moving the transparency around on top of the other page makes alot of tripped out intersecting lines. like i said one you have to see, def one of the best looking, most intresting covers in epicene history.

limited edition of 300 copies, split release with mark of black tent's gentian label.”

through the bars of a rhyme (2:11)
mezzo forte (3:58)
no memories, no plans (3:00)

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "mysteries of the organ"

may 2008 release ; the cd version of the lp on plastic ... identical tracklisting / layout ...

this is spencer at his best, offering up eight slices of confounding non-denominational audio, ranging from pulsing organ drones w/mystery layers of murmered voices & electronics, pure field recordings, amp-blown keyboard epics, some digitally-transmogrified sound-poetry warble ... and even bits that wouldn’t sound out-of-place on an “artificial intelligence” era autechre record (listen to the sound-sample) ...

the man’s up to no good, some good, and (mostly) a whole hell of a lot of good ; as always an absolutely joy to hear him stretch out & tread where few others dare ... highly recommended !!!

burning star core — challenger — cd

challenger is a composed work rather than his more improvised work, each piece revolving around a central melodic theme with field recordings, an audio diary bridging the gaps. it’s emotions of a period of time set to tape. the sounds range from pure tonal mood to huge electronic crescendos. but what’s most remarkable is the use of space, where parts come in and drop to build or recede. when the piano crashes in “mysteries of the organ” its almost a frustration of paradise, a rejection of perfection or maybe a jolt of inexplicable life, unable to be translated into proper communication. juxtaposed with the quiet haunting of “hopelessly devoted” which sounds like a love letter written to outer space, it makes for an album that is both dynamic yet consistent as a full statement. licensed from plastic records.

plastic press release...

burning star core is c. spencer yeh
challenger

burning star core began in 1993 in cincinnati-ohio where it currently resides with primary member c. spencer yeh. it is considered a project and not a pseudonym.. while the burning star core project has included much wider ensembles, challenger is a direct solo composition of c. spencer yeh. this recording is perhaps yeh’s most revealing, unguarded work.

challenger is a composed work, not an improvisation, with each piece revolving around a central melodic theme, featuring field recordings, which serve as an audio diary.

the sounds range from pure tonal mood to huge electronic crescendos. but what’s most remarkable is the use of space, where parts come in then drop out to build up the emotion. when the piano sound crashes in “mysteries of the organ,” it reflects a frustration with paradise, a rejection of perfection, a jolt of inexplicable throes of life. in contrast is the quiet, haunting “hopelessly devoted,” which sounds like a love letter written to outer space. these make for an album that is both dynamic yet consistent as a full statement.

“i felt i was working while very much in the rapture of these feelings. though i was committing these emotions to sound i was pretty engrossed in this project in a discreet manner, and i can’t say i didn’t end up allowing the project itself to influence my ‘real life’ decisions instead of what should be the healthier reverse,” said yeh on the making of challenger. it’s an appropriate concern seeing as this work can have subliminal influences in the listeners’ own behavior. rare does a record leave an impact that stays even when it’s not playing. with this recording, burning star core has given us something that lingers in the bloodstream, like the smell of an old lover’s scent.

challenger is a plastic records release; under exclusive license, the cd is available through hospital productions.

tone filth (usa) #tf 51 lp

three legged race “living order b/w mourning order” long playing record

living order (19:07)
mourning order (18:33)

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "living order"

march 2008 release ; the long-awaited tone filth lp (this was announced back in late 2007) by hair police’s robert beatty under his three legged race guise ...

two side-length pieces; the first very much in “electro-acoustic” mode, with robert’s mystery / self-built electronics firing away in varying frequency-ranges before a very warm / enveloping tonal drone takes over the remainder (just gorgeous - listen to the sound-sample) ... the second works variants on a descending synthesizer line straight out of the nik ‘pascal’ raicevic songbook, with solemn melodies and javanese temple-bells giving way to a woozy/pulsing mélange of electronic sound taking us straight under the waterfall ; our ears pressed to the telephone cable ...

you may have noticed the sheer unforgiving proliferation of hair police-relatable titles that have been flooding the mms gates for the past few months ... well, i’m a huge fan & i want to grant you access to as much as there is to hear. so there. as far as robert’s solo work is concerned, this is probably the single-best release of his out there, and of course it comes highly recommended !!!

tf51 three legged race - living order / mourning order lp

robert beatty, who may be better known as a member of hair police, eyes & arms of smoke & a contributor to burning star core, has been creating some of his most interesting material under the name three legged race. living order / mourning order is a reissue of a pair of releases from 2006, living order primarily focusing on micro-tonal shifts and movement & mourning order setting aside most (but not all) of the tones for composition. a lesson in the beauty of modern electronics.

edition of 335 with 3 color screen print and artwork by robert beatty.
