x.0.4cataracts” long playing record

  • (no tracklisting)
white-hot blackness from vampire belt’s bill nace & co ... one of the better destructuralized / non-idiomatic improv units currently working out in wema ; or anywhere at this point really ... their set here in town back in april (2008) was prob. one of my yearly highlights ... highly recommended !!!
ecstatic peace! press release...
x.0.4
cataracts lp
(ecstatic peace e#105d)
500 copies

debut vinyl release by the western massachusetts drone/scrape trio of bill nace, john truscinski and jake meginsky.

these guys have developed into one of the most soul-glowing sound/improv units out there today. and we mean out there. sparkling shards of guitar/amp/file machinations dance and intercede with rolling thundercloud dreamdrum dramatics.

nace you know from his killer duo throwdowns with chris corsano as vampire belt as well as the more recent weirdness with dylan nyoukis and karen lollypop as ceylon mange and in duo with thurston moore as northampton wools.

truscinski and meginsky are the fine gentleman who’ve recorded as slaughterhouse percussion, meginsky a student of, and fellow professor with milford graves at bennington college.

ceylon mangethe maiming path” long playing record

  • into filth river

  • the spine of the sea from a burning tree

... sort of slept on this ; the only “real” released by the inspired combination of bill nace, dylan nyoukis, and karen constance ...

while not devoid entirely of dylan’s throat-gargle (nor bill’s prepared/treated guitars) the emphasis here seems to be on a looped, tape-mangled excess, recalling mick jagger’s “invocation of my demon brother” score ...
hp cycle press release...
artist: ceylon mange
title: the maiming path
format: lp
matrix#: hp 278

ceylon mange is the trio of dylan nyoukis (chocolate monk proprietor and sound molder in blood stereo, decaer pinga), karen constance (blood stereo, smack music 7) and bill nace (x.o.4, vampire belt) ...

the maiming path extends from the group's previous mind melts with two side long (de)constructions that are assembled from a variety of mangled loops and electronics, guitar feedback / slaughter and cromagnon vocals.

the results are a murky stew, as each emerging sound creeps upon the listener like a blackened sloth nightmare. it's the type of organic brain tangle that is rarely unleashed by the spirits these days.

the lp is pressed in an edition of 650 and housed in a full-colour printed sleeve featuring karen's outsider artwork.

nmperign / jake meginskyselected occasions of handsome deceit” one-sided long playing record

  • selected occasions of handsome deceit (18:48)
click the play button to hear an excerpt of "selected occasions ..."
february 2010 release ; strikingly dynamic new music from bhob rainey & greg kelley’s nmperign, here working with x.0.4’s percussionist jake meginsky ...

jake’s presence seems to usher the duo into more active modes, with his bass-drum resonances fleshing out the lower spectra, leaving the two horn players free to compete for breathable air-space in the middle & upper registers ... tbe (gorgeous) recording (seemingly made in an airplane hangar) does wonders for meshing the disparate elements, on occasion approaching the wind-tunnel ambiance of 80s david jackman productions, all while preserving the myriad details inherent to bhob & greg’s respective embouchures ...

lovely package from eli & ashley, with the lp tucked into a picture-disc sleeve, adorned only by an eye-catching vertical insert ... highly recommended !!!

rel012

selected occasions of handsome deceit
one sided lp
edition of 300

rel012 is the recorded debut of the trio nmperign with jake meginsky. pressed on 160 gram copper plate mastered vinyl, rel012 features nmperign in an energized, turn-on-a-dime form. prodded by meginsky into unnamable, angular textures, the trio is agile and unpredictable, occupying many angles of musical extremes. rel012 is a one-sided lp cut to 45 for maximum dynamic range. featuring a striking cover, designed by eli keszler, printed by ashley paul. a light blue fold-over paper is integrated in to a heavy picture disc sleeve, labeled with a color sticker. screened notes are featured on the inside. rel012 is a one-time, hand-numbered edition of 300 copies.

ultra eczema 45
xo4;
lost signals lp

the trio of bill nace, john truscinski and jake meginsky deliver their fourth spars, spaced scratched and creeped record, after their debut cdr on audiobot, an amazing tape on bill's own inprint "open mouth" and an lp on ecstatic peace. although this band uses only 2 guitars and percussion they've built up a paradise of tension between instruments that by far dont sound like you'de think they'de sound.. it does sound like someone is pulling your veins gently, softly focused on not realy hurting you but having chinese torture in the back of your brain. a no named peasant would guess this music was made by an old dog collecting thousands of little pieces of metal, knowing exactly what they would sound like if u rub them onto another miked metal closet or a circuit bend old wooden clock. sensitive guitar molesting is never far away.

i've heard the master for this record about 50 times before releasing it and still recognize new sounds in it. there's a lot of space on here, and it's realy hard to figure out which instrument is which, not that it matters, but i did think "what the hell is this sound made of".

besides xo4 and his solo work, bill nace also plays in a duo with chris cooper, in vampire belt with chris corsano, and in northampton wools with thurston moore. he also does amazing drawings, books and open mouth records/tapes. both john truscinski and jake meginsky also do amazing solo work!

this record comes in a collaged cover design by dennis tyfus, limited to 500 copies.

november 2008 release ; praise be - finally, an ultra eczema cd compilation !!!

years in the making, mr. tyfus and assorted co-horts (word is bill nace & josh burkett both had large hands in the proceedings, hence the strong pioneer valley representation) culled this selection from the myriad unrealized ue vinyl projects, ranging from from the organized nonsense of the various fat worm affiliates to the cracked electronics of kites, mudboy, et.al, to the creeping bent of noise nomads/grey skull, dom & spencer’s assorted blomp, etc ...

this edition comes as a digipack’ed disc wrapped inside a full-color 16-page oversized newspaper (coated in dennis’ assorted ear/brain-waxings) & , sealed in a postage-safe bag ... a better survey of the current state of general weirdness & creative desperation simply does not exist ... highly recommended !!!

ultra eczema 60
de nagalm op de kopf
(compilation cd + 16 page paper)

besides the people that i owe a trade and the people in antwerp that wanne piss in my neck because my tale is longer then theirs, there's a mountain of people that actually wanne hurt me physically because they sent me a master of inbelievebly great recordings years back that everyone should hear, though it takes frigging ages before they actually come out.

"de nagalm op de kopf" is a compilation like that! a collection of sounds that represent ultra eczema pretty well although some of the recordings on this comp are over 5 years old! a variation of odd, "funny", retarded, great, noisy, free, off, loud, harsh, sad and brutal tracks by noise nomads, krystal knight (aka jessica rylan aka can't), hacky pack zac sac, mudboy, cement future, happy mother's day i can't read, cards on my cunt, prurient, ex members of josh hydeman, cloaca & vom grill, xo4, burning star core, kites, defneg, tumble cat poof poofy poof, trashbusters, anthro rex, eric boros, bloated ego and the compliments, mouthus, mix ape synb, orphan fairytale, unicorn hard on, muslux, grey skull, black tie rubber pussy, god willing, bobby colombo with silver cindy & jb de kunst!!!

the comp cd comes in a cover designed by dennis tyfus, joshua burkett, noise nomads and bill nace!

the cd sits in between a 16 page paper full of drawings and collages by dennis tyfus and liner notes by carlo steegen!
