| | | tripel (uk) #tripel 004 lp um / ascoltare “giraffe (refined) b/w fatty parts for a good match” picture-disc twelve inch single record - um - giraffe (refined)
- ascoltare - fatty parts for a good match
| | november 2005 split between these two acts; mr. um with his recent ep on strange lights (look above), mr. ascoltare with his tripel label. despite my near-total aversion to picture-disc releases with vivid images of food on them (i’m thinking of that vomit-launches 10” on hot-air, specifically... i didn’t eat a donut for like 2 years after that one) this is quite a nice object, and the sounds contained therein twist and turn around genre-signifiers like ramsey lewis on the great plains of the infinite. good snatches of weird bedroom songcraft, some nice electro-acoustic moments, and good-old beatsmithing... |
| | ascoltare works as an electronic sound artist in cambridge. his labels tripel and dubbel have released six records thus far, varying from experimental bootlegs to more texturally refined glitch compositions. tripel's 4 th release is there most ambitious to date. a picture disk lp mastered by the gaeoudjiparl (goodiepal) (mainpal inv , v/vm , datanorm ) at the famous dubplates & mastering in berlin.
vocalising alongside minute blocks of digital yuck, um struts like a broken, funkless version of harco pront ( music for speakers ) occasionally knocking knees with the residents ( euroralph ) and voks ( dekorder ). recent output includes the wonderful africa is a fridge 7” ( strange lights ) (dj-ed by felix kubin and jason forrest, amongst others) and several homemade cdr releases. giraffe is one such record and tripel's ‘refined' version borrows the best of that here. fifteen digital memoirs anchored in lacquer; abstruse um stories are echoing further and forever more. fans of original and best, take heed!
plundering the world of the reality tv chef and its surrounding culinary language, ascoltare serves us a yummy cut/up featuring choice sound bites. acoustic instruments rejuvenated by digital techniques and numerous production values serve a generous spread for the discerning listener. sounds range from jerome noetinger ( metamkine ) style electrical squeals to more delicately positioned acoustic sounds. eccentric organ licks and music-library inspired textures float effortlessly around meaty montages of iron chef judges and british foodies. added ingredients include rick stein, keith floyd and gordon ramsey all of which undergo the pitch up & down treatment. stein's continual whining can be heard amongst bontempi drones and glocken rattles. noises automate attentively through narrative text and the occasional contrast of merzbow style fuck-blasts infused with passionate chatter is fresh and humorous. also provided at the end of this 12” (specifically cut for all you dj's!) are choice selections of gordon ramsey insults.
for those who continually search for new musical oddities tripel's 4 th should not disappoint. strictly limited to 500 copies, buy this super ridiculous picture plate before it fulfils its charity shop destiny. |
