That CD lasted about an hour and was quite static in approach, harmonium and reeds were used to depict beautiful droning music. Quite a difference from this new release. Six tracks, just little over thirty two minutes, which apperentely reflects the tour they did together in Scandinavia. The lenghty opening piece 'Rendezvous Up North' is a free jazz improv playing mostly built around the saxophones of Gustafsson. Quite a contrast with short 'Pumpkin Creek' with nicely mild guitar play and maracas (guest appearance by Henry Moore Selder of Rock Out, who also plays turntables on 'Three If By Train' and 'Skiing + Shooting'). The variety of instruments played here, ranging from synthesizer to laptop and electric guitar to contact microphones, make this into a well varied joint venture, but I wonder: may too well varied? Grubbs and Gustafsson don't seem to want to focuss on one particular thing, but rather want to be all over the place. Maybe that is a good thing, it's crossing various genres of improvised music and may let the listener left in pleasent confusion.

Infera Sinfonia is a Japanese noise maker compilation including Pain Jerk, Government Alpha, Sewage, Incapacitants, Owstone and Alienlovers In Amagasaki. Furious, hellish noise, loaded with feedback and distortion. Surely one for the die hard lovers of the genre, but you can count me out. The split CDR release by Karl Jensac and Helmut Schaeffer brings us to Austria, as they both hail from there. I have never heard music by Jensac. His piece 'Lost In Space' starts out with a low end hum but as the lenghty piece progresses, it gets more violent and noisy. An ok but not great piece. The same can be said of Helmut Schaeffer's piece. He collaborated before with Zbigniew Karkowski and his music is similar to Karkowski's and Jensac. Drony music, but of a more violent nature. Scraping sounds, like metal plates against rusty wheels. In the end a bit more interesting then Jensac, but again not the greatest music on earth. The other compilation is an ongoing series of international artists. It's a wide variety of artists here, which all share an interest in noise music. Some of them operate on the harsh end of the spectrum, like Pheromonster Disk or Thirdorgan, and they are the lesser interesting ones on this disc. Of more interest are the works that display a serious interest in working with sound and structures, like Evol, Powerbooks For Peace, PXP, Team Doyobi or Masayuki Akamatsu. Luckily these tracks prevail here.

Not to say that concept isn’t king, it is, but this is a nice sampling, a prologue to greatness. Andrew McKenzie, et al are about to embark on a tour of the United States of America during a time of great anguish, though it makes sense for this mostly downstream swimmer and reclusive character. When it comes to playing live, I cannot help avoiding the biographical interpretations when comparing the title to the artist’s own health, and his playing to stay alive. The recording, however, is an encoded message, albeit SOS or other form of insulated language. Rubbery mechanics and tiny pitches draw you into the void. The repetition of it all and the muffled voices make this appear like a subversive television commercial. A bright soundbite hook that is at once gleaming, then distended, brings "A Small Child Dreams" towards completion. This limited edition cd comes in a beautifully stark handprinted fold out cover by Neil Burke that recalls mail art and cassette culture. Get it while you can, only 100 exist! (TJN) Address: http://www.importantrecords.com BEEQUEEN - GUND (CD by Beequeen) This CD contains some rather old tracks, dating back to 1998, but apparently they weren't released in due time, so Beequeen have taken matters into their own hands. As one would expect from Beequeen (at least in thet period), all of the music is drone based. Tapestries of sound slowly evolve and unravel their inner beauty. And there is certainly beauty in these tracks: atmosphericly speaking, things seem to be a bit on the down side, but that only adds to the peacefulness that this record radiates. Without getting dull, this music makes one wander off mentally, only to come to when it stops. And that is a truely captivating experience. Special mention should be made of the last two tracks: the first is a Beequeen edit of material by MSBR, the last one vice versa. Oddly enough, no noise, but very slowly stretched sounds with a bite. Also MSBR keeps things pretty quiet, which makes an excellent ending to this very good record. (MR) Address: http://www.beequeen.nl or http://www.kormplastics.nl OREN AMBARCHI & JOHAN BERTHLING - MY DAYS ARE DARKER THAN YOUR NIGHTS (CD by Häpna) I guess these two musicians don't need long introductions: Ambarchi is well known for his work with guitars and Berthling is one of the members of Tape and, as far as I know, also involved with Häpna. This collaboration was done in Stockholm in 2002 and has been edited for this release. The one track has a duration of half an hour. Berthling plays harmonium and Ambarchi guitar and the work has a very straight layout: it's a drone piece, starting with harmonium. The tones are kept all the time, sometimes adding or subtracting a single note. One can hear the frequency of the pump underneath. Some time later the guitar is added, but it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the moment. Th sounds merge so strongly together that they become one, slowly changing in the course of the piece. Were it not for the frequency range (high mids), one would probably dream away gently. But the sound is just too piercing for that. And it's up to the listener to decide whether this is good or not......(MR) Address: http://www.hapna.com ANDERS ILAR - EVERDOM (CD by Shitkatapult) I hear bells at the edge of the earth. 'Rare Islands' takes you there to venture through an almost holographic space. Over the course of the Hour-long Everdom, this is how a listener may read into the music of Sweden's Anders Ilar. Slow bobbling beatless mechanizations, winding and icy cool. On 'Make Believe' Ilar travels into private space wielding the syncopated drone of sequencers and bare bones percussion. Prolonged streaming of ornate, yet subdued tones have a delicate presence. The ghostly 'Illusion of a Summerbreeze' uses clever sample-like trickling noises atop continued reverberation. Part Aphex Twin, part Hilliard Ensemble with a touch of something out of the land of perhaps Paul Schutze. This darker ride is spotted with diminutive moments of ambient flare. Each minute flows into the next here. Chilled to sweet perfection. (TJN) Address: http://www.shitkatapult.com/ DANIEL MAGG - FACETS (CD by Compost) Formerly of southern Germany's Wordless People, this is Daniel Magg's debut release. This collection of eleven tracks includes sweeping techno-loungescapes by Minus 8, Gentlerain and former fellow collaborator Wolfgang Rüter among others. On 'Set for Seizure' Magg takes Gentlerain into the realm of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea with a current bent on warm fuzzy funk. 'Red Earth' raises the stakes of the floor beneath us to a level where we dance, and trance. But Facets is a well plotted, somewhat methodical spin. Programming/editing inconsistencies aside when attempting to follow Facets as a flowing continuum as it's title infers multiple interpretations, or components. 'The Last Samba' is every bit the magical latin movement, in the hands of Magg it is a blended contortion with vibrating harmony. Again Gentlerain abridge a form of rubbery funkorama courted by a lyric-free, cooing female vocal. Rüter's 'Sweep' touches on the footsteps of like-minded Giorgio Moroder, the godfather of disco. This is the standout track revisiting the roots of early 90s Detroit. An electro-a-go-go charged pumped rave fest, remade for for the MP3 generation. A great exploratory adventure for a first go around, Magg proves he has what it takes to warp and chill out his peers with a determined, understated logic of wires, tables and other things that go zztsst in the night. (TJN) Address: http://www.compost-records.com ERNESTO DIAZ-INFANTE (CD by PAX) ERNESTO DIAZ-INFANTE & ST.CHAOS & BOHOL - THE LONG AWAIT BETWEEN COLLAPSED LUNGS (CD by PAX) Diaz-Infante adds two more releases to his corpus that gets infinite proportions. His output is spread out on numerous labels like Bottomfeeder, Evolving Ear, InstrumenTales, oTo, pfMENTUM, Public Eyesore, Staalplaat, Seagull, Sweet Stuff Media, and Zzaj. These two new releases are on his own Pax Recordings. The solo one is the special one here. With accordion, acoustic guitar, Chinese hand exercise balls, didgeridoo, drums, electric bass guitar, field recordings, goatnails, mbira, piano, radio, singing bowls, turntalbe, violin, vocals and zither rod, Diaz-Infante creates his own intimate and peacefull little universe. Murmuring day-dreamer Diaz sings his simple songs like somebody who in a lost moment sings and plays for himself, thinking nobody is the neighbourhood. Very relaxed music, not disturbed by the hectic world. Because Diaz-Infante uses many different instruments and objects we enjoy a varied sonic panorama. We hear environmental sounds, loops, instruments out of tune, etc. The result is a very personal music. Maybe that's why the cd has no title. Ernesto Diaz-Infate says it all. It's some of the most beautiful I've heard from Diaz-Infante. For "The long Await between collapsed Lungs" Diaz-Infante collaborated with two Texas underground psychedelic-drone musicians, namely Pablo St.Chaos (acoustic guitar) and Bohol (electric guitar). Diaz-Infante plays also guitars here. I gave this one a good listening, but it failed to catch my attention. 7 drone pieces that have nothing special to offer in my perception. Almost ambient-like impro journeys. But I wish they added more pepper and salt in this soup of sounds (DM). Address: http://www.paxrecordings.com AU - RECYCLING (CD by Locust Music) To work with environmental sounds, is something that has been done for a long time, but the series just started by Locust Music sound promising. On each release you will have a piece of unaltered sound recording from a city and recycling, remix or whatever you wish to call it from the same people who did the recording. Haven't heard the first one (by Keith Fullerton Whitman), but the one by AU sounds special. And maybe not just because it contains recordings of a city I lived in, The Hague in The Netherlands, and a city that I was glad to leave. If one hears these recordings, then it seems like an ordinary city (and maybe it is): cars passing, people talking and a brass band playing. AU made the recordings on their bicycle while going round and of course end up in the pub. A day in the life. On the 'recycling' version (gettit? cycling and recycling?), they sort of play the whole piece again, but add a firm dose of loose guitar playing and analogue washes of synths, in a sort of attempt to make the whole thing a bit more cosmic and ambient. It's strange to hear both piece straight after each other, because it seems not much else was added, but if one plays the original recordings again, one hears the differences. The 'recycling' piece is thickly layered with effects, mostly echo and is a nice subdued piece of music. (FdW) Address: http://www.locustmusic.com GINTAS K - //// (CDR by Retinascan Records) MARKUNOUCHO BENTO - HIMETTE (CDR by Retinascan Records) Only a few weeks ago, I reviewed a CDR by Gintas K from Lithuania. This is a new release, this time on a German label. Like on his previous release, Gintas explores the minimalist beat material, in the best Pan Sonic fashion. Mostly quite lengthy, just like on the previous one. A piece like 'Dc Pagal gk' lasts around twenty four minutes and shifts back and forth with sounds and plug ins. Like I said about the previous release, I think it would better if Gintas K would limit himself a bit more and would be more critical as to what a piece of music should do, rather then keep it running on end. His work works better in shorter pieces, even when most of the pieces are still over eight minutes long. 'Alcohol Free' with its Ikeda/Nicolai influences is the best piece around. Also from a more unlikely country is Markunouchi Bento, a duo from Romania, consisting of Felix Petrescu and Valentin Toma, who claim to use folkoristic idioms, which might be true (I am not the connaisseur of traditional music from Romania), but as far as I can judge this is only partly true for some intro's and melodies in some tracks, such as 'Hotdogs Bless Me'. Markunouchi Bento's music is mostly about 'intelligent dance music', with rhythms that could be lifted from the entire Warp catalogue, but with indeed strange, maybe folky melodies. As the CD progresses the material is getting stronger and stronger and more and more something that they can call very much their own. (FdW) Address: http://www.retinascan.de HENRY JACOBS - RADIOPROGRAMME NO. 1: HENRY JACOBS' MUSIC AND FOLKORE (CD by Locust Music) This is a re-issue of a most unique LP, released in 1955 by Folkways Recordings, featuring a radioprogramm by Henry Jacobs, or rather highlights from his 'Music and Folklore' show. In this programm Jacobs would interview musical authorities on music, jazz or chinese music but it was all fake. Take for instance the 'Interview With Jocko', which is an authority of Chinese music, but the interviewer talks more then Jocko, who is hardly understandable in some fake anglo-chinese dabble. Nice and funny stuff that is nice to hear (and I must admit nice to do if you have a radioprogramm) and pre-dating a lot of the free radio stuff that would appear decades later. Funny pieces to hear once, but for a second time around? The more interesting parts on this CD are the musical pieces Jacobs did, like the opening 'Audio Collage', a collection of spoken word and sound or 'Loop 2 - Channel Rhythms', which was made with two tape recorders, primitive percussion and voice. Jazzy sounds and primitive percussion. Best piece is 'Sonata For Loudspeaker', a tape-collage of rhythmic sounds and very short loops. Minimalist in approach, almost thirt advance of contemporary dance minimal Address: http://www.locustmusic.com AIDAN BAKER - LETTERS (CDR on ARCOLEPSY RECORDS) Aidan Baker is a writer/musician from Toronto. This is one of his first releases, that literally slipped through the cracks, being packaged in a thin paper cover that is folded like an envelope (hence the title), easy to get lost in a pile of cds. The two track titles sound like something from Michael Gira: "the letters of your name are still a scar on my ears" and "I flay my skin upon which to write these letters to you." Luckily the music doesn't not contain any of the cliched excesses that such titles would suggest. What we have here are somber tones, muffled lofi recordings of guitar drones and loops, cymbol scrapes, guitar hum and feedback. Voices make their appearance midway on both tracks, whispering secretive texts. The illegibility of the voices adds to the pleasantness of the recording, making them a part of the overall sound. I think if they were prominent in the mix that would destroy the somber and cerebral feel of the music. Long and hypnotic tracks (both over 20 minutes) lull you in a positive way, not to sleep, but crawls under your skin. (JS) Address: http://www.listen.to/aidan AXEL DORNER & FRED LONBERG-HOLM - OBJECT 1 (CD by Locust Music) EKG - OBJECT 2 (CD by Locust Music) The Object Series is a new series launced by Locust Music of 'creative electronic, jazz and electro-acoustic music in which we've asked players to explore the synaesthetic qualities of sound and the other senses as they attempt to produce ties between sound and static, non-musical objects'. The first in the series meets this right up: two top improvisers, trumpeter Axel Dorner and cello player Fred Lonberg-Holm recorded five duets of their unusual playing. They scrape, scratch and blow their way through the sound material in a rather hectic and nervous playing. There is a lot of tension going on between the two, small interactive playing, brittle and sharp. Classic improvisation music. EGK are from Chicago and is also a duo. Ernst Karel on trumpet and analogue synthesizer and Kyle Bruckman on english horn, Chinese suona, raita and analogue electronics. Here the improvised music takes a different course. EGK have a strong interest in the more droning aspects of improvised music. Their sound takes long courses, which are intercepted by trumpet playing, aswell crackles of contact microphoned objects. Most of the time it stays subdued, but there are occassional outbursts of noise. It takes it's influences from anything to Bernard Gunther to Merzbow or Voice Crack to Roel Meelkop. Less traditionally improvised then the other one, but in intensity certainly no less product. (FdW) Address: http://www.locustmusic.com MERZBOW - FROG (2CD by Misanthropic Agenda) The all out assault on Frog starts with 'Suzussebachi No Rinbu' like a squeaky wheel then blasts on through to the other side. This new set includes a full-length bonus disc of additional remix material and video. At once the listener is awakened to this white noise barrage meets dramatic waterfall. With the immediate impact to ward off the weak-eared, Houston-based Misanthropic Agenda unleash Masami Akita’s latest electro-acoustic assault on the barren scraps of environmental elements left on his earth. Prepared static and sonic boom draw from a multitude of found sounds and inference. On 'Hikigaeru Ga Kuru' he brings the temperature down for a few minutes before developing a haunted vortex of raw textured noise. You can hear the sound spinning. The bloated indirect intention of 'Kaeru No Shima' slowly captures the edge of the wind and scratches until the blur of it barest elements remain. Rewind the tape, sharpen your tools, this virtual landscape is altered to taste. Melding flawlessly into the final 'Catch22' Akita san acknowledges the other side of the coin, the challenge of communicating in the universal tongue of noise and all its implications. Like a warped screenplay with croaking, surreal giants and organic creatures, this is what sci-fi was meant to be. Disc 2 offers an aerial view of mother Earth in development. 'Black Frog' is the alter-side of this prolific artist's vision. 100% static drone + 100% white noise = 200% genius. Playing with knobs and wires, this sounds like an improvised experiment taking place in the beta testing lab of a manufacturing plant. The moments in repose only stunt the beatless continuum for a brief interlude of calculation. Once he's got his motor started, this baby hits the ground running. Though this is more of a work-in-progress. It is more sensitive on 'Track777' sifting heavy metal through divine filters and other detonators. Inside you find a tonal test, a sound scale played and then reversed and played back under the repetitious corruption of the ongoing soundscape. 'Frog Variation No. 2' secures the audio portion of our experience. Micronoise blends with a bobbling conveyer belt while a hissing menace snarls out of control unexpectedly. Just when you thought it was safe to listen via headphones Merzbow will kick your ass again and again. This is for active listeners who can stand it. (TJN) Address: http://www.misanthropicagenda.com LUKE EARGOGGLE - AUDIO WARRIORS (CD by Bunker) Audio Warriors has the immediacy of acid house vs. Psychic TV. This is a fun U-turn where electro left off a few years back, baked with some real juicy surprises. Dutch label Bunker Records revels in the coy funk of it all while Eargoggle randomizes from track to track with musing titles like "Worship Services" and "Stiff White Funk", the former being a cross between premature 80s electronica (before it was a word) and Pac Man. Robotic vocoders and pulsating perky beats to laze around in or your could dance if you want to (but take your friends with you). "Millimeter Try" reminds me of cheesey porno music separated from its source with a techno-pop bent. "In Your Pyramid" closes the deal on this underground experiment of the senses. The track reminds me of an afternoon in the wind-up toy section of FAO Schwartz. Audio Warriors does not pull punches, this is a pure party hard at the expense of the past disc - taking trashy disco reverb and obvious electronic noise and concocting a fetishistic voice for the post-Kraftwerk generation. If I were to compare this to a food, it would be white chocolate, an acquired taste that is addictive once you indulge. (TJN) Address: http://www.bunker-records.com 1.
