anoema (finland) #no 60 cd

pain jerk / john wiese “nerima” compact disc

nerima (1) (8:58)
nerima (2) (4:06)
nerima (3) (4:28)

april 2010 release ; ultra-concise “real time collaboration” between these two titans of noise (something of an “old guard” vs. “new guard” grudge-match ? perhaps) ... coruscating “live electronic” blare ; definitely more in line w/ gomi’s whole purview than john’s (the levels are peaked throughout ; concise edits are waylaid in favor of an all-out mindfuck) ...

pain jerk & john wiese - nerima cd (anoema, nocd060)

hey there, looking for a healthy dose of electrocution? we got it right here! two titans of noise, pain jerk (aka kohei gomi) and john wiese, continue their trans-pacific affairs. while the previous episodes have been mail collaborations with mr. wiese at the helm, this studio live session has a more distinct pain jerk flavor to it (and is a tasty aperitif for his yet-to-appear new studio material). a vivid amalgam of vintage analog synthesizers, classic noiselectronics and dsp, at less than 18 minutes this brief statement in fury leaves nothing to be desired.

in a world filled with filth and depravity, it is a rare pleasure to encounter such a beautiful & vibrant example of good, old-fashioned noise. this is music to soothe the soul.

toshiji mikawa “gyo-kai elegy” compact disc

vietnam forever (5:03)
bando namida-ame (5:02)
drinking gallons of soy sauce with beer (20:01)
you say west river (5:15)
mud wrestling against d (21:05)

crippingly harsh electronic blast from incapacitants’ / gomikawa fumio’s toshiji mikawa; his debut “solo” release. “fire-in-the-hole” style electronics, pushed to their point-of-failure... extremely gratifying.

toshiji mikawa
gyo-kai elegy
cd nocd050

pioneer, innovator and visionary are words easily associated with toshiji mikawa. one of the prime movers of japanese noise, he started his musical activities in the late 1970s and joined the legendary and notorious hijokaidan. in 1981 he formed incapacitants to pursue his interest in pure noise, in contrast to the more performance art oriented hijokaidan of that time. initially a solo project, later he was joined by fumio kosakai to make incapacitants a duo that has been widely acknowledged for their extreme sound and intense live performances.

gyo-kai elegy is the debut cd release under mikawa's own name. it grants us a close-up view of his sound which is normally immersed inside incapacitants' mighty sound structures. we get highly detailed, unforgiving electric annihilation, invoking images of imaginary lifeforms trapped inside cages of silicon crystals. occasionally the sound expands into juggernaut drones or floats away into a cavernous space that seems to be inhabited by morbid bats screaming at piercing sub-ultrasonic frequencies. once again, mikawa-san shows us all how to create noise with intensity, perspective and character without a hint of compromise.

lasse marhaug “quality control” compact disc

trashplate (12:57)
more sugar please (6:38)
magical mystery lore (5:25)
from the future (0:37)
fungus for fellini (15:04)

...and for his 11th release this year (thusfar), lasse pulls out all the stops and offers what, to my ears, sounds like his most “playful” release yet (listen to that sound-sample; i haven’t heard that sort of pitch-bending or those “wacky” stereo effects from lasse as-of-yet. signs of a new direction? maybe not) ... but even still this is an impressive head-conk-with-monkey-wrench ; glad to see that he’s developing a sense of humor regarding his prolificity ...

lasse marhaug
quality control
cd nocd040

a giant of scandinavian experimental music, lasse marhaug has been active in sound creation since his teenage years. his interests have spanned a wide range of styles: from improv jams to film sound, from humorous collages to crushing harsh noise works. this non-stop activity has resulted in a massive body of recorded work and numerous live performances all over tellus. besides his solo work he has collaborated with a multitude of fellow sound artists on stage and in the studio.

in the everflowing stream of music from marhaug, quality control leans towards the noisiest end of his output. with an active, hands-on approach to sound making, it rushes forward to present us with a panoramic view of a mock world inhabited by trash electronics battling it out on a barren desert field at the end of the known universe. from short outbursts to extended epics, marhaug cooks up an explosive brew of storming feedback and out-rock guitar overload. quality control portrays a mature artist at the top of his game.

francisco lópez “untitled (2005)” compact disc

untitled #177 (8:24)
untitled #178 (17:44)
untitled #111 [for jani christou] (7:59)
untitled #183 (25:10)

first new (june 2006) lópez release in a while (perhaps the steam-train is slowing to a halt after all of those years?) notable for its inclusion of a few firsts: there’s a piece both performed/realized not by mr. lópez himself (the zeitkratzer ensemble; who handle the realization of ”untitled #111 [for jani christou]” with remarkable sensitivity... it’s almost indistinguishable from lópez’s electronic work...) and written in dedication to somone: the egyptian/greek electro-acoustic composer jani christou (also a favorite of syd barrett’s) ...

a classic lópez frequency-shift blitz, as with any/al l; essential ...

francisco lópez
untitled (2005)
cd nocd030

on the new untitled (2005) cd the spanish composer francisco lópez presents four recently composed pieces which span a broad dynamic as well as stylistic range. together these constitute a fascinating and intense research exploration into the deep essence of sound. from sizzling jungle atmospheres to rumbling subterranean drones and microscopic details, this is a francisco lópez tour de force. in addition to three pieces based on environmental recordings, untitled (2005) features also an instrumental composition untitled #111 (for jani christou) performed by the noted german zeitkratzer ensemble. unsuprisingly, either way the sound is 100% francisco lópez. on this release mr. lópez might be unsually forthcoming about the sound sources he uses (as specified on the sleeve) but the dedication for the creation of absolute music remains the same.
