holy cheever church (usa) #hcc-050 lp

forced collapseconsider the weather a failure” long playing record

  • consider the weather a failure (1) (12:30)

  • consider the weather a failure (2) (11:50)
june 2010 release ; awesome collaborative session shared between liz albee & chris riggs, timbrally just about as far removed from an imagined trumpet / electric guitar session as is conceivable, dwelling instead in the realm(s) of shrieking, hysteresis-laden electronics & breath-resonance ...

ps. i’ve put an extra-long sound-sample up to demonstrate the range on display here ; first, two minutes of creaking guitar-attack & faint-whisper modes, then “fear of god” style crackle & blister ... enjoy !!!
holy cheever church press release...
hcc - 050

forced collapse - consider the weather a failure

liz allbee - trumpet, electronicschristopher riggs - guitar

chris: "i think i should start a label."
ben:  "yeah, you should."

50 releases later cheever is still struggling to carve out it's own path through the new american improvisation highway without aping the fine work at broken research. i couldn't think of a better recording to release on vinyl in celebration of cheever reaching the big five oh.  after spending the last 49 releases attempting to imitate the sounds of trumpets and broken down michigan electronics on my effects-pedal-less guitar while keeping one foot in the high-concept-art-recording-is-performance-and-i-have-good-reasons-for-using-antiquated-media zone, i sit down for one recording session with trumpeter liz allbee and she gets inside my brain to anticipate every move i'm going to make.  so much for re-contextualizing extended trumpet techniques with the sounds of michigan basements when she's already doing it for me.
