MACHINATIONS : trogotronic m676

With the addition of the Trogotronic m676 to my noise system I can now send waves of dystopian voltage overload into the aether! Thanks WT!...FURY indeed!

SAMPLE & HOLD : rhk / the war against terror

From the totalitarian point of view history is something to be created rather than learned.

-George Orwell, 1946

Thousand have died in the so-called "War against Terror," an american president's response to the attack of 9/11.  Manufactured with unquestioning theocratic zeal in the hope of creating a new "democratic" Middle East AND procuring a limitless cheap supply of America's drug of choice, oil, this particular construct or rationale or FOLLY continues to this day...mission accomplished?

Richard H. Kirk's  The War Against Terror is a particularly corrosive response. Like the war that seems  to have produced a myriad of brutal acts this 6 track work is one of Kirk's most Merzbowian, ranging from sickening blasts of repeated noise motifs to insistent beats that harken marching orders. Kirk knows only too well the deceptively murky political jargon insistent on the creation of America's imperial history, and also the disinclination of the american populace to allow unpleasantness of any kind to sully the beautiful lie. 

Kirk's NOISE gets right in your face in an attempt to generate a wake-up call...ah, but ignorance is indeed bliss...and we suffer the consequences ultimately.

MORE Noise!

With the addition of some 104hp rails I now have room for most of my NOISE devices...enjoy the noise!

SAMPLE & HOLD : cabaret voltaire CODE

Code, Cabaret Voltaire's 1987 release is in dire need of reconsideration. While this release is another of Cabaret Voltaire's mark ll dance-oriented albums without Chris Watson, it does contain a number of gems that reaffirm CV's importance as a trail-blazing electronic band. There is no explosive garage-electronica as typified by their classic early "Nag Nag Nag" or the open dystopian noise space of "Voice of America"...BUT the first three cuts are classic jabs of noise, Burroughian voice cut-up samples, and suggestions of paranoia.  Don't Argue, Sex, Money, Freaks, and Thank You America are breath-taking AND thought-provoking, the result of Brits taking an outsider's media-eye's view of  American cultural obsessions and psycho-glitches. The title track is prophetic; 2012 seen from afar, everyone reduced to digital zeros and ones. Thank you America ends with a sampled voice screaming "We don't believe in no God, we don't believe in no Jesus, we don't believe in no bible! a shouting match that continues today as the religious-right attempts a Taliban-like take-over of America's vital cultural  heterogeneous mix.

Mini Noise System Completion

With the addition of the 4MS Pingable Envelope Generator, the system is now complete...until the 126hp z-rails arrive!

Mini Noise System

The Tiptop Happy Ending now contains two very cacophonous modules, the Elby Designs ChaQuo random noise generator and the Trogotronic 666 M, both capable of extreme dystopian noise assaults...great for ridding yourself of unwanted company!

MACHINATIONS : Cyclebox ll Expander

The expander offers numerous options that make the Cyclebox an even more formidable sound- mangling device...sounds to come on Soundcloud!
