blackhumour - pink pillows

3"cdr

i have had an ambivalent relationship to desire. not for nothing have i circled back to wanting not wanting. desire has been my constant roommate, whom i have greeted with the spectrum of enthusiasms reserved for one deemed neither family nor friend. pink pillows was composed winter 2007- spring 2008 during another of those times when desire and i were on speaking terms. consider it both a snapshot and response thereto.

mike shiflet & francisco meirino -"raizantatami" 2x 3"cdr

mike shiflet, the honcho of gameboy records and francisco meirino who used to be phroq. got together at a raizen in osaka and while drinking too much japanese beer recorded this. a sizzling static becomes relentless as weird electronic insects buzz around. somebody attached a contact mic to a tatami mat and beats on it mercilessly. it all changes into a high pitched whiny rumble of junk electronics that goes on forever. in a destroyed package.

blackhumour - you, remain 3" cdr

i got a package from blackhumour one day with a bunch of cd's in it. it was a lot of new material he had recorded. a lot of it was very good but "you, remain" we both agreed would be the first. digital in nature but still only using unaltered human voice, the pieces have a strong sexual component, which has been a theme all through his work.
