june 2010 release ; excellent split lp, covering a pair of pieces by venerable minneapolis-area improviser milo fine (sounding like not a day has passed since his 70s shih shih wu ai output) & guitarist / instrument-builder paul metzger (performing here on a sound-sculpture-level instrument of his own devising, consisting of myriad music box parts & contact mic’s) ...

milo fine & paul metzger
concerning the other condition / spontaneous composition generator

nero's neptune presents a split lp of solo works from free-jazz improv master/multi-instrumentalist milo fine and guitar experimentalist paul metzger. ‘moosbruger’ was recorded on the occasion of my first public collaboration with paul metzger. before the concert, and for a number of reasons, my thought was that, when my name was drawn for a solo, i'd be playing drum set. but, as befits the spirit of improvisation (the moment), i grabbed the b flat clarinet, and then, echoing the first time i played piano in public (1971), moved off stage to the prepared piano remains, where the two instruments conjoined. 'ulrich' is a self-contained section of a set-long (drum) solo i played at the art of this gallery's tuesday night improvised music series. 'moosbruger' was recorded on march 21, 2009. 'ulrich' was recorded on january 20, 2009."

...

i created the spontaneous composition generator to produce a random series of musical actions. it is a device consisting of 37 altered music box movements mounted in a wooden painter's box. the alterations include dampening, detuning, replacing, removing, doubling, and reversing the tines. most of the original melody pins on the cylinders were removed. rubber bands of various lengths and thicknesses were attached to the winding stems to facilitate a continuously variable tension. one dozen hand-wired piezo pickups are attached to output a stereo signal. the piece on this recording was created november 9, 2009 with a time of 18:43. it was specifically made as a complement to milo's contributions to this nero's neptune lp

june 2010 release ; reissue of this neat, 1972 lp of vocal burn-out, recorded by a tweaked “chorus” at newport beach, california under the direction of one jörg siegert the same year ...

10 tracks of in-situ garble, ranging from penderecki-esque glissandi to the sort(s) of stilted, cluster-oriented sprechstimme exemplified in the sound-sample (to your left) ; all captured in a crispy, distorted, room-tone fidelity ...

in some respects, this is the polar opposite of that church univeral and triumphant inc. / elizabeth clare prophet set, in that the quasi-religious tones of said’s “togetherness” have been stripped, replaced with a pagan-sounding individuality that makes it all that much more disturbing / fascinating ...

great, weird record !!!

brain sound
an attempt to record coincidence

pictured in all its tantalizing, eye-popping glory in hans pokora's 1001 record collector dreams, this hellishly-rare austrian avant garde lp from 1972 is nothing short of astonishing. there are no instruments, but rather varying configurations of solo, duo and ensemble vocal improvisations, presumably informed by the aforementioned (and nearly impenetrable) code (or "charts"). although this might be seen as part of an interesting continuum, this unique and prescient music will stun even the most astute followers of outsider art.

describe it, you say? sweet jesus! "shape note singing for acidheads," perhaps? from an avant-classical perspective, one might mention late-'60s penderecki as a possible reference point (along with ligeti, or perhaps even nono). in improvised music, the spontaneous music ensemble's larger workshop groups similarly feature masses of vocal sounds; comparisons with alan watts' this is it are as plausible as they are inevitable.

ultimately, though, nothing will quite prepare you for this lp. in fact, when an original copy landed at nero's neptune headquarters, one notorious "outsider" label chief/collector extraordinaire's peni-meter became so perilously engorged, that he nearly burst with envy, casting ridiculous offers of rare wax and unmentionable "favors" nero's neptune's way while begging to let him take over. in other words, it is strongly recommended that you purchase this limited reissue while you can, while securing appropriate spiritual condiments for the trip. after all, you can be anyone this time around.

strictly limited edition of 500 copies only. packaged in high-gloss, tip-on sleeves, and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
