god “anti-sex anti-wiretapping (made in taiwan)” compact disc

anti-sex anti-wiretapping (made in taiwan)

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "anti-sex anti-wiretapping ..."

this was listed previously as being on little enjoyer - it is in fact a split release on both gameboy and little enjoyer...

just an excellent disc from the duo of leif erik sundström (percussion) & bryan eubanks (normally on wind instruments, but here working with electronics; tape machines, self-styled feedback systems) - it’s either an immaculately conceived freely improvised work or a meticulously consctruced electro-acoustic one... either way; damn impressive.

anti-sex, anti-wiretapping : cd

co-released this with jyrk & little enjoyer & wish i was able to do more to convince everyone how rad and essential this group is. i had taken to referring to them as "amm filtered through crust punks" but after meeting them & seeing how truly un-crust they are, i can only describe them as "amm filtered through adventurous, foward-thinking young gentlemen" but that doesn't do them much justice. you'll be hearing more & more from these boys - together and individually - real soon.

february 2008 release ; a mammoth triple-disc set of stasis-heavy electronic work from god’s bryan eubanks. imagine a more toned-down variant on maryanne amacher’s “inside-your-head” lineage psycho-acoustic tone combinations and you’re halfway there ...

incidentally; great use of repurposed record covers (you may recognize the cat to your left from the cover of carole king’s “tapestry” - the pulse emitter disc below from yes’ “going for the one” [score !!!]) on these last releases on mike shiflet’s long-running gameboy label; always one of my favorites & a shame to see it go ...

gb100. bryan eubanks
desired climate works 2006-2007 3xcdr

over the course of three 70+ minute discs, bryan eubanks breaks from the minimalist improvisations he's known for in the duo god and around the nyc community. instead he presents dense, engulfing sound fields that toy with ideas about space inside the track, the room, and the head, works that simultaneously smother and exhilarate, satisfy and stifle.

this 3xcdr set is an edition of 100. it comes packaged in a homemade digipack cut out of recycled lp covers (with actual digipack trays).

february 2008 release ; a double-disc set containing four album-side-length automatic synthesizer pieces from daryl “pulse emitter” groetsch ... very much in the douglas leedy “entropical paradise” mould ... in that the pieces seem to have been meticulously set up, then let run their due course w/out any interaction or “performance” during the recordings. impeccable work; eminently listenable both as quiet background hum and, at a fair clip, immersive / enwombing systems-music suitable for your entire attention-span ...

nakamichi 2xcdr

modular synthesizer to tape deck

massive layers of modular musk find themselves tangled in a web of whispering and crackling triangle and square waves. over these two discs, portland's programming master pushes his synthesizer to a new level. the man is so in tune with his machine, i'm starting to have cyborg suspicions. nakamichi alternates between the murk and the crystalline, splitting the difference with a healthy amount of rasp and gurgle.

david kendall :
triumph of individuality : cdr

the title for this one is most appropriate as mr. kendall's work and vision rest in a realm all his own. working with digital noise in a time when the genre titans are dusting off their analog gear again, kendall's intense programming stands out, but it stands tall.

combining elements of improvisation, composition, field recordings and pure noise, kendall's work is both sharp and vivid. this one is crisp. analog purists beware.

michael r. bernstein & mike shiflet :
live, new york : cdr

synthesizer, laptop and beard power combined for the second time in september, 2006. invited to play the erstquake festival by joh abbey & chris wolf, bernstein & shiflet hit the stage for a set focused solely on modulation and movements, not exactly what the crowd wanted to hear.

post-festival internet responses ranged from "pretty boring with little to engage me" to "my least favourite set of the fest" to " not at all into [it]". one or two people may have also had something good to say. the fellas hiding behind the computer screen and the overly large synth stand behind it 100% though.

expect more (studio recordings) from this duo in the not-so-distant future.

pbk & bmg :
1 : cdr

michigan master pbk has been making beautifully composed noise since i was in grade school and bmg - (aka brent gutzeit) should be known to most as ceo of television power electric and as an established kranky recording artist. these two have a wealth of knowledge in the experimental music realm and skills with almost as much range.

with their vast combined talents, the gentlemen produce five uniquely diverse works here, spanning the borders of various subgenres and utlizing everything they could get their hands on. in their warped world guitars become gongs, computers are transformed into human hearts and vinyl breathes. believe it.

gb93
sewer election :
last breath : cdr

sweden's finest forgoes his usual dense harsh noise in favor of equally dense dirty drones. it's still a wall of sound, but far from impenetrable. this wall is more likely to crumble with the slightest touch and leave you buried beneath the rubble. it's a different, but equally effective, methond of simultaneous attack and defense.

a short but epic piece, "last breath" unravels in under 20 minutes, but the coma it will induce is guaranteed to last for hours if not days. indeed this disc makes a perfect soundtrack for those precious moments spent dying, living, or lingering anywhere between the two.

cdr edition of 100. dedicated to dagmar lassander.

...as i was at both the boston and lowell shows and don’t remember a thing; i will conjecture that they were both great shows (i do remember one thing; lasse didn’t use a computer, instead preferring to bash an electric guitar while jon manipulated some pedals and a mixer...) - regardless, this is a disc of recordings from the last jazzkammer tour of the us; both lasse and jon in fine form throughout...

jazkamer
proud to be un american

recorded live across the united states of america, may/june 2004. edited and mastered back home in europe, december 2005. special thanks to howard stelzer for booking and driving.

“fifth time i've worked with lasse on a release and third time with john hegre, but the first time with their long-standing jaz(z)kam(m)er duo. this disc documents the highlights of their 2004 us tour - both on and off stage. abrasive guitar-driven noise augmented with audience banter and merch booth ponderings as the mics continue to run.”

gameboy press release...

recorded at unit 1125 (nov. 2005)

“clon is a name you might not be familiar with, but you probably know the man behind it. as one half of the cornucopia, jorge castro has put out dozens of high-quality releases and toured the us (most recently hive mind and luasa raelon) and europe several times.

clon is jorge's new solo venture. it isn't a drastic shift from cornucopia, but definitely has more grit. sheer force and impeccable composition: the finest aspects of classic merzbow & aube releases reimagined for the harsh digital era.

cdr edition of 100 in color cover with hand-painted insert.”

raglani - for a.h.
scenic railroads - more inside jokes
scenic railroads - conflict of disinterest
scenic railroads - now i know why i’m hungry
scenic railroads - stop snitchin’

click the play button to hear an excerpt of "split"

last release on gameboy before mike packed it up and re-located to japan for a year... a split between raglani and mike’s duo with joe panzner, scenic railroads. by now the esp-mind-link between mike and joe has developed into near-mythical proportions, their computerized dronescapery reaching new heights...

hadn’t heard of raglani prior to this, but his half is an eye-opener of crude electronic spuh. definitely the nicest looking gameboy release yet, the blue-violet creep over chipboard is especially lovely...

gameboy press release...

raglani: sine/square wave generator, electrics and places. dave stone plays saxophone on track 2

scenic railroads is joe panzner and mike shiflet

after both putting in the cdr dues, joe raglani and scenic railroads decided it was time to take it to the pro-pressed level.

raglani's 3 ambient compositions and scenic's 4 digital improvisations play excellently off each other creating a disc with a consistent, organic flow. 52 minutes of noise underground's prettier, lusher underbelly. if these dudes were european they'd be getting 1,000 euro guarantees by now.

an edition of 500. co-released with raglani's pegasus farms records and printed at the infamous thumbprint press.

greg kelley “i don’t want to live forever” compact disc

i don’t want to live forever (36:08)

this was listed previously as being on little enjoyer - it is in fact a split release on both gameboy and little enjoyer...

the funny thing was that i was recently sitting in a bar w/greg (davis) and ben and we heard “crimson & clover” over the p.a., incredibly loud, thought “damn, what a strange song”, especially the gated-vocal outro, which is just about as sci-fi as it got back then. anyways, i digress...

this is not the nmperign greg kelley but in fact the heathen shame greg kelley, stipped bare of wayne & kate, let loose on a teenage mind-control expedition via healthy application of electronics (electro-harmonix pedals, i believe) recorded (and this time, no joke) on microcassette while in various exotic locales across the northeast borscht belt/tin-pan.

on top of the below, greg’s fascination w/the new blockaders’ “anti-music” is certainly starting to creep through, all that rust & decay (the tiny ferrite particles that hold sound to tape getting less & less audible these days) alternatingly adding and taking away from the acoustic wind/metal vibrations. a more exalting solo trumpet recital you will not hear this year or next...

gameboy press release...

greg kelley. shit. the best virtuoso to ever make this shit sound. microcassette recordings of live tour with mike bullock get chopped, spliced, looped and even a little composed.

inspired by harry pussy and the amm/mev split lp and somehow 'crimson & clover.' greg told me so. i didn't just make that up.

in some moments (the opening moments in particular) this easily greg's most abrasive work and it definitely has the trumpet fuckery you know kelley for, but there are a few moments that are geniunely beautiful. but ain't it all really?

edition of 500. co-released with the brand new label little enjoyer.

noumena / season of discontent “split” seven inch single record

noumena “platform for a new religion”
season of discontent “mankind gets electrocuted while the the others sit back and laugh”

second gameboy release, rocking a moon, pa address. mike shiflet on one side, manhandling the divining-rod, seasons of discontent on the other, doing god-only-knows-what.

gameboy press release...

an electronic gathering only ohio could spawn. we met the seasons at an assuck show in cleveland forever ago. conversation on BN lead to noise talk and tape exchange. we were hooked. here's what came of it:

noumena adds new-found 303 chirp to their feedback-drenched guitar work, whilest season of discontent contribute an extremely dense, unidentifiable wall of tapes, computers, vocals, effects and who-knows-what-else.

nice offering all-around. on gold vinyl and packaged in aluminum foil covers with bee image affixed.
