Some of you may remember when the cassette was the medium de rigeur for experimental underground music. In this digital age it is always nice to see that there are still those like to work in this medium. Foreign Lands from Omaha, Nebraska is one such label. This tape captures excerpts from several live performance from Naturaliste's US east coast tour of last year. Lofi recordings, perhaps made on a boombox or walkman, the compressed sound captures all the details and events in the performance spaces, the audience chatter, all sprinkling it into the mix. Naturaliste uses lots of instruments, like piano and saxophone, plus some electronic gadgets. The music is at times like the nihilist spasm band for its free for all chaos and like early mnemonists for their junk sonic collages. But things never get too random sounding, there often is a sense of composure, a lightness of touch. Classify under american folk music, junk style. (JS) Address: voostviszt@yahoo.com THE HITMACHINE - MUSIC FROM NIJMEGEN (LP by Ole Records) Ah, subtitled Music From Nijmegen - isn't that wonderful. No, you might say, because where on earth is Nijmegen? But me, as a true born Nijmegen guy, think it's exciting to hear experimental music from my own city (even when Twilight Circus, The Legendary Pink Dots and Girlfriends are kinda of around here too) with such a strong emphasizes on Nijmegen. On the very nicely printed frontcover (stencil print by Knust, whom you know from the Brombron covers and 'The Tale Of Pip' by Alejandra & Aeron) there is a postcard with a local ancient tourist attraction. So The Hitmachine is a new name, and gathering from the cover, they are with four people, or maybe three, as the record says: 'Produced by The Hitmachine and Ernest'. 'To Marry Your Cousin' is the title of this packed weirdness. The Hitmachine is singer songwriter music, but one that is totally outside the tradition. Outsider music. Pieces of noise influenced music (like 'Vlinder' or 'Ravesplatter') and coupled with traditional guitar playing and singing or some bluesy improv or an a cappella song and even a synthi song (like 'Snokkies'). This record doesn't have one style, maybe it has as many styles as there are titles on the cover. That's why I would call this outsider music, as it doesn't fit any style, and The Hitmachine doesn't seem to make any attempt to be part of any sort of musical style. They seem to be hoovering around in the own weirdness (or is it madness? - maybe this record comes straight out of an asylum where it was recorded as daytime therapy). Naive music. I envisage this LP, which is limited to 300 copies, to be a slow seller, then when it's sold out (in five years) it will become a sought after collectors item and much raved about for it's unqiue approach. (FdW) Address: www.ole-records.com BRENDAN MURRAY - GARDEN JASON TALBOT - THANK YOU (Both mini-CD-R's on Kissyrecords) Kissyrecords is a new label from Boston, run by Jason Talbot, whom some of you might know from his exploits as a turntablist (with a severe edge). First release is by Brendan Murray, whose CD ' Not Now' on create.transmit i thoroughly enjoyed. This little disc conains one track of just over 16 minutes. And this one track takes you places again: dark deep drony places, torn apart by sudden blasts of shearing noises. Or ringing bells with subliminal glitches, streaked with hisses from another room. There is more of an edge to this recording than to 'Not Now', less subtility and more tension, building up constantly, with only a subtle release every now and then. The overall sound is also rougher, less polished, with more cuts inserted in drony parts and more sudden changes. But still, there's a strong sense of purpose to what Murray is doing, again. Be this different from his former CD, it is just as intense and certainly as much a pleasure to listen to. 'Thank You' by Jason Talbot is also one track, clocking in at just under 17 minutes. As I mentioned earlier, the turntable is Talbot's main instrument, together with a small DJ mixer and sometimes a small cassette player. In this track, Talbot thorouhgly explores the possibilities of his instrument: using a record only very sparsely, mostly playing around on the cartridge or the table itself, he builds a piece slowly, juxtaposing sound and silence, fast and slow movements etcetera. In a certain sense this could be seen as a study for turntable and mixer and, were Talbot educated in classical music, he could have called it so (but of course, 'Thank You' is a much better name). The variety of sound material is actually pretty amazing: from soft scratching to a severe feedback. it's all there. The track builds up well and holds tension as it unfolds, but is a little bit on the long side for a solo. (MR) Address: www.kissyrecords.com KEVUEQ - IDEM (Mini-CD by Kling Film Records) Kling Film is a subdivision of Cling Film, a record label from Belgium with a lot of organisational potential (they do concerts and other projects as well). Kevueq is Kevin van Volcem, one of the two forces behind the Cling Film organisation. His untitled mini-CD is the fourth in a series that stands out because of its very beautiful design: the white mini's are mouted (with a nut and bolt!) on a plexiglass background that has a sticker with the info. Kevueq features three tracks, the first of which is a piece also presented in the Cling Film Installation in Brugge (B) last year. A very well done electronic piece with high tension and great dynamics and some pretty funny textlines from a swedish movie. The second track is a short uptempo rythmic piece, made with analogue synths, more or less Kevueq's trademark. This one is almost over before it's started and a very nice intermezzo. Track three is the one that reconciles the fromer two: subtle sounds with an occasional rythm, combining very well with the sparse samples. This track has the most eerie atmosphere of the three and at the same time the most funky. Very well done. (MR) Address: www.clingfilm.org 87 CENTRAL - SAXMOWER (CD by JDK Productions) This is 87 Central's second release, which has been in the works for some time. Jeff Carey, for it is him who is 87 Central, currentely lives in The Netherlands were he studies sonology in The Hague. His first release was also on a Dutch label, ERS Records, and showed his interest in playing around with feedback sounds. On this new CD, which has eight tracks, he continues to explore feedback sounds (or as some people would call it, the 'no input mixer'), but he adds field recordings to his instruments. Last week, I saw him playing a concert, and that was a true joy. Sitting behind his mixing board, with a stack of effect racks and his laptop hidden somewhere (streaming the field recordings) one could easily see how his sound is manipulated through equalization, fading of channels etc. Like on this new CD, the result is not some mere static droning thing (nor a harsh high toned excercise), but rather a rhythmical effort. Deep bass end sounds in cyclical ways, with changing high end peeps and cracks. In some way similar to say Alva Noto, but 87 Central is not really interested in a quantized 4/4 beat and let everything run smoothly for a modern dance floor. 87 Central rather picks up influences from composed musique concrete, so the compositional structure is much wider, rather then limited to an almost techno track of five minutes. Maybe in a way this is glitch music, but certainly one of the kind that has something new to say, a new and more interesting approach then what is going on. While harking back to various traditions, 87 Central builts his own new thing of it. (FdW) Address: www.jdkproductions.com TEAM DOYOBI - EMPIRE (3"CDR by Alku) Team Doyobi is one of those names I see popping up, but of whom I don't know much. I associate them with labels like Fat Cat and Skam. They are with two persons, but due to the font being unreadible, I can't reveal their names. On their three tracks three inch CDR for the excellent spanish label Alku they display their interest in rhythmical pieces which are short and fragmented. Despite the fact that there are three tracks, it sounds like there are at least 10 or more pieces on here, but all highly defragmented. It's a bit like listening to various sketches for future full length songs. But maybe I am entirely wrong, who knows. It seems like Team Doyobi plunder through their entire collection of techno and hip hop, fed it to the hungry plug ins which by return spits it out like machine gun fire. Hasty music from hasty people. Compelling enough though. (FdW) Address: http://personal.ilimit.es/principio RUPERT HUBER - RADIOTOPIA (CD by Staubgold) To explain what this Radiotopia project is about is certainly not an easy thing. It comes with a large fold out explaining everything. But basically it comes down to a large database of sound on the internet, which Rupert Huber (of Tosca) plundered freely to built sound collages to be transmitted on the radio and the internet, together in conjunction with people performing live music. Although everyone was asked to submit sounds, it's a limited group of people that submitted sounds (Micheal Nyman on the phone, sir). There is a strong element of collage in these results. Piano's play, vague electronical sounds, people talking, violins (Alexander Balanescu, who presented a work at Ars Electronica before, is also present). Nice pieces of sound collage, but it also stays a bit on the tame side. Sounds fade in and out, and it seems to me there is not much interaction between the artists. It's an anarchist, free thing here, but one that could not enjoy or satisfy me for the entire 100%. (FdW) Address: www.staubgold.com TENNIS - FURLINES (2CD by Bip Hop) The ongoing collaboration, I guess one might say with their third album: a real group, consisting of Douglas Benford (otherwise active as si-cut.db) and Benjamin Edwards (otherwise as Benge). As Tennis they operate in a rather well-throdden territory of glitch music cum techno inspired music. A lot of known influences can be found here, anything from Kit Clayton to Chain Reaction to Pole. But it wouldn't entirely justify them right, because one could altogether too easily think that they copy the best infuences of others and have nothing of their own. Tennis' blend of styles results however in a nice hotch potch of all of these styles, and by adding for instance a little bit more melody on top of every track, they offer warm, melodic and above all dubby music that works well at home - I am not too sure about the dancefloor though. Maybe the enclosed free bonus CD of remixes do well on the dance floor? Fifteen remixes based on 'Europe On A Horseback', their previous CD on Bip Hop, by as many artists. Not really dancefloor related these remixes, as many artists rather go for a more abstract approach. Taking a few samples here and there, but almost everybody is building a entirely new track based upon these few samples, but most of the times, as said, in a more abstract way then Tennis' own approach, even despite the fact that many of these tracks use repeated blocks of sounds (also known as loops). Not really a big problem though - I ain't no dancefloor type anyway - because the outcome is quite nice. There are pieces by Taylor Deupree, Frank Bretschneider, Pimmon, Warmdesk, Bovine Life, Scanner and many others. Many stick to the trade, which in the case of Electronicat works really nice. His trademark Suicide influence work really nice in the context of a remix. (FdW) Address: www.bip-hop.com TIBETAN RED & VICTOR NUBLA - TAO POINT (CD by Hronir) In Vital Weekly 244 I discussed the CD by Tibetan Red, that had the entire recorded works of that one man band on one CD. But maybe the success of that CD led to recording another one, here in a close collaboration with Victor Nubla, formerly known as one half of Marcomassa and since some time the heart of the more avant-garde music scenes in Barcelona (organising the Gracia Territory Sonor festival). Five pieces are performed here by the two men (there is a picture inside, so I assume these are the artists). Five lenghty pieces - from eight to seventeen minutes. More so then the previous work by Tibetan Red, this deals with dark drone rumbles that move just above and just under the surface of the earth. A contact microphone is stuck in the earth's core and slow shaking foundations of the earth are being taped. Well, it's either that or the use of low bit samples of shortwaves being fed through a couple of cheap effects and taped, especially for it's effect, on a four track. There is certain strange appealling quality to these recordings. A sound that reminds me of the good old 80s, with its low rumble cassettes. Tibetan Red and Victor Nubla built audible Lopezian works here. Everything is moody and dark, but at the same time also on an audible level. The dramatic built ups arrive at the end of a piece and can have the same ear splitting result as Lopez in a live situation can have. Captivating drones. Very nice stuff (FdW) Address: http://hronir.org TEMPER - NAVY BLUE (3"CDR by Piehead Records) After last years subscription series on Piehead, they started a new series for 2003, which will consist of 11 3" CDRs in an edition of 211 copies, plus a free compilation CD for subscribers only. The first one is by Temper, aka Micheal Weak. He's a young guy from Canada, who plays his music mainly at home. Usually he composes his tunes on the piano, which he then transforms in music via cheap software. His music is best described as Aphex Twin inspired music, but one that is more sunny and quirky then the sometimes darker edges of Aphex or any of the Warp artists. Eight relatively short pieces of electronica - never too long or never too short. Nothing really earthshaking new or hot, but well crafted miniatures in electronica. (FdW) Address: www.pieheadrecords.com SHEFFIELD/RIPPIE - VESSEL (CDR by Elevator Bath) FREQUENCY CURTAIN (CD by Elevator Bath) ILYA MONOSOV - VINYL DOCUMENT #1 (LP by Elevator Bath) In Vital Weekly 316 I reviewed a very nice minimal LP by Colin Andrew Sheffield and James Eck Rippie and here they return with a short (eightteen minute) CDR of 'Installation Recordings', for an exhibition held in Texas in september last year. Although we don't get to know much about the actual installation itself (the three postcards that come with this package, don't tell us that much, other then it's part of an exhibition 'It's Alive On The Beach'), it seems as if water is the only sound source used here. Rather then a loop, it also seems that it is one long piece of sea sounds, which are being processed a little bit. The original source material is always recognizable in here but at the same time one can hear bit of the process going on. Nice work. Also from Austin, Texas are Frequency Curtain, a trio consisting of Josh Ronsen, John Grzinich and Rick Reed - three names from the active improv scene in Texas. The first two play laptop electronics, and shortwave radio, and Reed plays tone generators and shortwave. They improvise here together on four lenghty cuts, of slowly moving electronics, cutting radio waves and darker edged electronica. It seems as if not all of these sounds work together very well, as happens more with works of improvisations. Thick washes of sound, almost psychedelic in nature, this is indeed a somewhat different thing then laptop crackings of the worlds of Mego and like minded. Especially the hermetically closed 'Vector Identity' and 'Grounding Regions' work well in this respect. Still, despite mixed feelings about the entire project, my final judgement is mildly positive. I must admit I never heard of Ilya Monosov - although the name sounds Russian, he or she might not be from Russia. Not really important either, I guess. Monosov has a lenghty piece on one side called 'Music For 2 Glitching Organs'. I really don't know what a glitching organ is, maybe just a bad or broken recording of an organ? Two loops of recordings go out of phase, just a little bit, with a biting high end peep. But it's a moody and atmospheric piece, despite the lo-fi affair in recording it. 'Broken Music' is the short track at the end of the record, using solely broken music boxes and is also a minimal piece but one that works differentely. More light and open-ended. The b-side has a remix piece of another Monosov work, 'Music For Everyone' by Andrew Deutsch, with some accordion playing by Pauline Oliveros. Deutsch puts the sources through some computer processing and the accordion lays down some foundations. A nice piece, but I think I preferred to hear some more music by Monosov. (FdW) Address: www.elevatorbath.com FRANS DE WAARD/ROEL MEELKOP (split LP by Mixer) The Eleventh Mixer is an split-LP by Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Both of these artist don't need any introduction anymore. In the course of years, Kapotte Muziek has given several workshops in their way of working. One aspect of these workshops was that the participants had to go outside and make environmental recordings that were going to be used during the performance that Kapotte Muziek gave at the end of the workshop with the participants. Roel Meelkop has used these environmental recordings to create this track called "Workshop". Without processing the original sound but only use editing and mixing he manages to transform the original sounds into a new composition. The track from Frans de Waard is called "Fragment" and his source material are the recordings of the 1993 Kapotte Muziek tour in the USA. He already made this track back then in 1993 which is absolutly amazing concidering that it still sounds very much "today". The track is mainly based around drones and therefore stays abstract (except for one moment; a singer of islamic origin at the end of the track). The track is like the sound of a space environment, architectural music or a soundtrack for a film never made. This is the experience of sound with a musical perspective. An excellent record!! (RMens) Address: http://www.stichtingmixer.nl ILIOS - 18102002 (CDR by Absurd) Ilios is one of the more conceptual and experimental artists from Greece, despite diverting his time between Athens and Barcelona. Some months ago he played at the Small Music Theatre in Athens, and Absurd now offers the recordings. Things start out at a very high end of the sound spectrum for about the first ten minutes, then slowly contactmicrophones take over. From there the work evolves around deep end rumblings and processings of the contact microphones. I assume Ilios is a man with a laptop, based upon what I hear. Sturdy experimental music of the better nature. Sonic rumbling is all over the place. Even when laptop tactics are at stake here, Ilios plays a well-composed piece (meaning, I couldn't honestly say whether this is improvised or composed, but I assume the latter). Thick layers of sound move over eachother in an almost psychedelic vein. Quite noisy at times, but the piece never gets anywhere near being obnoxiously loud, but certainly moves along the more extreme lines of sound. Die-hards will seek their pleasure here. (FdW) Address: www.anet.gr/smt ROEL MEELKOP - LIAR (3" CD by Kling Film) I wouldn't dare calling Roel Meelkop a liar, but he is. For the last two or so years he has been playing a live set in various venues and it was always announced as: here's a piece which I composed for live concert and which will not come out on CD - so he is liar, now that Cling Film are releasing it as a 3" CD. In the live version of this piece, Roel Meelkop mixes four seperate sound channels together from his laptop. Having seen and hearing this piece a couple of times, it's a sort of familiar piece - oh that's the bit which sounds like his hallway, oh these are familiar clicks etc. It's a rather free form piece for Roel, blending together various of his interests, but for the bigger part his love of processing recordings he made around the house. These recordings get a treatment, and in the end it's the role of the composer to make it sound like a coherent piece. And that's something Roel is very capable off. Small blocks of sound, silence and noise move along eachother, juxtaposing eachother or sometimes in simple denial. Meelkop builts up tension and then breaks it down, brick by brick. When nothing is left, he starts again. Captivating stuff, as usual. (FdW) Address: www.clingfilm.org 1. From: Frans de Waard After almost 11 years of working for Staalplaat, I have decided to leave Staalplaat on March 1st, 2003. Mainly due to problems in my private life, I'm forced to leave the heart of musicland and move to it's pheriphery. I will most likely look for job outside music. I will continue to make music myself, and I will continue to publish Vital Weekly. Maybe I will release the odd CD or piece of vinyl, but it will be on an entire different basis. I wish to thank you all, it was a great pleasure working with you. For any future business with Staalplaat, I kindly ask to address your questions etc to: Geert-Jan Hobijn (geert-jan@staalplaat.com). I wish Staalplaat a good future, with a continued love for Staalplaat.
