chloë 008 mawja: "live one"

mazen kerbaj (cornet, objects)
michael bullock (bass, feedback)
vic rawlings (cello, surface electronics)

mary staubitz emailed me asking, "do you and vic want to play with this guy from lebanon?" mary was booking a series of noise shows at the midway café in jamaica plain, ma, and had been contacted, apparently out of the blue, by "this trumpet player from beirut." she wanted to help him out but wasn’t sure what to do, since none of us in boston really knew anything about him. vic and i have had a duo established since 2000, so i knew at least i wouldn’t be totally out to sea with this new guy. i agreed and so did vic: we would meet mazen for the first time at the gig.

we did just that. i walked into the midway the night of the gig and saw a tall middle eastern man standing in the middle. the midway is a very rowdy, noisy joint even when the music is not playing, so conversation was limited to pleasantries, and 30 minutes later the three of us were on "stage" (actually the middle of the floor in front of the tiny stage, the only place we could fit two large string instruments, two amps, and mazen’s table crowded with trumpet preparations). then something happened - music came tumbling out. immediately, and for the entire set, we were in that state of mind that most groups work for months or years to achieve; the music played itself. harsh, mild, tense, limber, awkward in the best ways, and above all, effortless. after it was over we knew we had to play again, soon, and often.

we set about booking a tour for the next time mazen could come to the us. this disc, along with "studio one" on al maslakh, is the products of that intensely creative week. - michael bullock - troy, june 2007

chloe007: "my heart of sugar" limited edition hand-sewn bag containing cd-r
the sun is an orange cookie

the first solo album by tsiaoc (aka linda gale aubry) is a slippery-sweet meeting of numerous flavors. minimal electronics overgrown with flowers and moss; field recordings of celebrations seen through a warbling lens of lush synthesizer.

this release represents an exciting new direction for chloë recordings. a limited edition of 36 hand-stitched bags, made from vintage and unusual fabric. each bag is completely different and never to be repeated, and each contains 7 full-resolution tracks on cdr.

jason kahn / jason lescalleet “red room” compact disc

what’s new in baltimore?
friends in low places
red house
dronevil3

excellent transcription of a live-set by these two leaders from opposite ends of the eai spectrum... kahn with his austere, precise sound-blends and lescalleet with his rough & ready tape-malfunction and mic-feedback. together they’re as unpredictable as it gets...

chloë recordings press release...

“chloë recordings announces the first collaboration between jason kahn and jason lescalleet, a live performance from the famed red room in baltimore, md.

jason kahn, a native of los angeles who lives in switzerland, has been in overdrive recently, putting out new recordings both solo and in collaborations on a wide range of labels (including his own, cut), and performing all over the world. jason lescalleet of maine is one of the most unique composers and performers in electronic music; on stage he creates textures of unbelievable sensitivity and power using old reel-to-reel tapes and casios, while creating mastering magic both for his own recordings and for others.

this disc contains some of the warmest music i've heard. it wraps you in a sound blanket you won't want to shake off. it's a message of love to the red room and the people who fill it.

heart photograph by mike bullock; all other photos by jason lescalleet. jacket design and liner notes by mike bullock.”

united states of belt “pancake alley” compact disc

ping pong holiday (19:08)
sleepytown breakfast (21:47)

here’s some very well done lucky-kitchen-lineage aural story-telling, as done by the wonderfully thorough united states of belt (with help from folk like vic rawlings on banjo). their set @ the 2004 intransitive festival was certainly one of the highlights... phonographers take note...

chloë recordings press release...

“chloë recordings and champ records (of troy, ny) have teamed up to present the third release from united states of belt and the first split release for either label.

"pancake alley" is a 40 minute sound collage composed of field recordings made around the usa between 1999-2004. the sounds are unmistakably american; the aesthetic, uniquely beltian. the result is somewhere between a mythic tall-tale and a dream of wandering, as vast and colorful as crossing america in a 1972 airstream excella.

the cd comes packaged in a lushly printed, heavy-stock paper package (with insert) that is itself a work of art: brightly painted signs, fantasy images from youth, and photographs of far-away familiarity. images and design by us of belt; cover painting by mr. joe signs that go.”

mike and vic are two visionary artists who not have not only fashioned their own rube goldberg-lineage kit out of discarded oscillators, guts of mixing desks, old contact mics, etc... but have developed a language to communicate with each other using these means. said language has a wide vocabulary and, at the time of this recording, was at an all time peak.

chloë recordings press release...

vic rawlings : cello, open-circuit electronics.
mike bullock : contrabass, tone generators

“this disc was recorded in an antique wooden gymnasium last winter, where it was so cold we couldn’t feel our hands. vic plays amplified cello and a rack of electronics he (re)built himself out of exposed circuit boards and salvaged speaker cones. mike plays amplified contrabass and a tone generator originally made for scientists. the result is an unbelievably stark sound world utterly alienated from the glib fluidity usually associated with bowed strings. the pieces on 'fall of song' are by turns deep-frozen and blisteringly hot. the rhythms are those of hands moving over a workbench or methodically slashing tires.

after playing in various bands together since 1996, rawlings and bullock first played as a duo in summer 2000. they will be touring france and the netherlands in october 2003 in support of ‘fall of song.’”

dan warburton / jean-luc guionnet / eric la casa “métro pré saint gervais” compact disc

boxes piled on boxes... all of them empty

chloë recordings press release...

dan warburton - violin.
jean-luc guionnet - alto sax.
eric la casa - microphones.

recorded live in the métro station pré saint gervais, paris, july 10th 2001. editing and mastering by eric la casa. thanks to miek bullock, howie steltzer, ratp, and all those who participated, knowingly or otherwise.

“late in the evening of july 10th 2001,dan warburton took jean-luc guionnet and eric la casa down into the depths of pré saint gervais, a metro station in the quiet north-east of paris. following no pre-determined plan, the three musicians - warburton on violin, guionnet on alto sax, la casa on portable dat recorder with stereo boom mic - explored the acoustics of the station, riding the elevators, taking the stairs, producing a rich and fascinating sonic map of the space through environmental improvisation. "metro pré st gervais" is a unique and remarkably accessible aural document of free improvisation and sound art.”

michael bullock “initial” compact disc

boxes piled on boxes... all of them empty
there was a stiff breeze

debut from mr. mike bullock, boston-area non-idiomatic double bass fiddle / oscillator improvisor supreme, also the debut on his chlöe label.

chloë recordings press release...

mike bullock - contrabass

track 1 recorded 2 december 2000 at casa del polpolo, montréal, quebec. track 2 recorded 7 december 2000 at the red room, baltimore, md. mastered by bhob rainey. design by cheryl mccaffrey. photos by cheryl mccaffery and mike bullock. thanks to: howie steltzer, jason talbot, greg kelley and james coleman. for margaret and fred.

“different spaces call for different kinds of playing. on the first track, recorded in montréal, the patrons of the club barely notice the amplified contrabass feeding back as mike attempts to 'steer' the feedback rather than maintain complete control. on the second track, recorded in a bookstore in baltimore, the human is in charge again, playing a purely acoustic set, driven by hyperagressive bowing.”
