scott goodwin “referent” c24 cassette

  • referent part one

  • referent part two
september 2009 release ; ... this is where i start to get really excited about the prospect of tapes ; previously these sort(s) of forward thinking sound-art tactics would have been relegated exclusively to the domain of the european post-dance music label system and/or an over-thought, globally-marketed and under-sold cd edition ...

you’d have to have left your sensibilities in the coat-check at this point to deny that justin’s eye-catching edition here (coming as a silk-screened norelco holding a user-configurable j-card & a “professionally printed” tape) is far more appealing as a pocketable medium (esp. at the lower price-point) than said ...

but i digress ; the music here, consisting of an automatically gated (not sure if he’s using the same system as when i caught him a few months back ; but then it was a contact mic inside a crumpled brown paper bag - the individual decompressions triggering the changes) digitally synthesized pulse wave set, in inarguably rich, harkening back to both the mille plateaux era of digital-music tactics & even the sonic arts union’s fascination with process-music ...

one of the tapes of the year thusfar ; highly recommended !!!

justin meyers “permanent pressure” c20 cassette

  • pressure
  • compression

  • pushing
january 2009 release ; first in a batch of three tapes this month from justin meyers’ tone filth ...

it’s worth noting that these are possibly the most “professional” tapes that have crossed my folding iceberg in a while ; each have “pro printed” shells (white with black silkscreened text/design) with long fold-out letter-pressed j-cards ... in my mind, these releases go a long way towards legitimizing the cassette as an archival “art” format ...

on the tape ; justin’s rumination(s) on “pressure,” ranging from the titular track’s woozy, sub-audible rumble through the painful “through zero” feedback clusters of “compression” to the minute throbbing growl of “pushing” (listen to the sound-sample) ...
