iovae is ron orovitz, cincinnati resident and purveyor of thuddingly strange and scientific noise compositions. since 1988, ron has been using turntables, tapes, four track recorders, various sound testing equipment and unconventional rhythm devices (including machine guns and firecrackers,) to establish the iovae sound. on civilization, the customized oscillator stack (affectionately referred to by its creator as the grinder,) is seriously worked over, barfing up the heavy drones and piercing ear splitters, all sprayed down with a thick layer of buzzing fuzz and sputter. it is a dense and psychedelic work.
outside of iovae, ron is a member of the long-running art damage radio program and also pulls duty in the twerked “rock” band death beam. iovae has shared collaborative releases with mammal and burning star core. he has had multiple cdr releases including some on c. spencer yeh’s drone disco imprint, as well as on john olson’s (wolf eyes, dead machines,) american tapes label. one of the most impressive of these prior releases, quartervois, was reissued in proper cd format by the german experimental music label zarek in 2004. civilization is iovae’s second pro-pressed cd release and snse is honored to present it to you. |
