<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">1970's <i style="font-weight: bold;">BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE</i> by Jefferson Airplanes's Paul Kantner not only embraces the futurist step-up from "Airplane" to "Starship," but also utilizes electronics in an effort to provide what Kantner has termed "background landscaping." Though mainly used as embellishment, unlike the full-on electronic mini-opus of Jefferson Airplane's <i style="font-weight: bold;">Chushingura </i>found on 1967's Crown of Creation, tracks such as <b>Home </b>and <b>XM </b>use noise to effectively produce spacey sonics. Though inhabiting the scape-heap of the Airplane's secondary discography, these are nonetheless precursors to the use of electronics in, say, Hawkwind who are also primarily "folk" musicians steeped in futurist iconography.</span>ether^rahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289853584402821322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964015455948601130.post-83854129118343110042013-05-19T07:02:00.000-07:002013-05-19T07:02:33.079-07:00NOIZETOIZE : Audible Objects Random Volt Generator / Antimatter Audio Brain Seed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">My personal chaos theory demands as much sonic serendipity and random events as possible. These two new modules certainly fit the bill adding numerous options to my appetite for the seemingly uncontrollable, fueling my belief in the Surrealist dictum that the laws of chance equal the laws of beauty...and perhaps the opportunity for a happy accident, a compelling epiphany.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">These recently purchased ADDAC modules, the Voltage Controlled Oscillator and the Complex Random with Expander are capable of wonderful things! The oscillator offers all manner of voltage control of parameters AND a wonderful sounding pulse wave; the Complex Random sends out voltage controlled (or manual) CV madness. With nine outputs(counting the expander's six), you can certainly create all manner of mayhem, both standard and Brownian! New toys=new joys!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">The Harvestman Double Andore is a dual envelope generator and much more. This track utilizes it along with ST Cloud Generator and the new Make Noise MMG. In spite of the rancor between them they got along quite well, sort of.</span><br />

II<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #7f6000;">The fine Game of Life label invited me to come up with 25 or so minutes of music for free download. Noise produced by eurorack modules, Buchla 200e, my Serge modular, and voice samples interbreed producing vaporous clouds, jarring dystopian jabs, and cut-up samples that are meant to be evocative of the 21th century's layered onslaught. www.gameoflifeproject.com </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Andrew Chalk's <i style="font-weight: bold;">Forty-Nine Views In Rhapsodies' Wave Serene </i>(Faraway Press)<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>presents, using limited instrumentation(Polivoks synth, piano and organ), a microscopic world teeming with life and a wealth of inviting sonic detail. The aural equivalent of snapshots taken with a debased analogue camera, these 49 tracks remind the listener of the crumbling landscapes from Andrei Tarkovsky's masterpiece <i style="font-weight: bold;">Stalker</i>, haunted by memories that spawn a labyrinth of longings that drift and dissolve, and then start again with the next track. With titles like <i style="font-weight: bold;">Halo Dispersed, Sleeping Stillness, Land Of Nod, </i>and <i style="font-weight: bold;">Seaward Flow</i>, Mr. Chalk makes his intention to present a liminal museum of miniatures, chipped with age, but imbued with poetry's patina, abundantly and compellingly clear. This is art that offers us an opportunity for epiphany. We should be thankful.</span>ether^rahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289853584402821322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964015455948601130.post-30139645100784756912013-01-21T13:16:00.001-08:002013-01-21T13:16:51.975-08:00PERE UBU : lady from shanghai<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">How true! The new cd from Pere Ubu comes to us imbued with much of Ubu's <i style="font-weight: bold;">Modern Dance/Dub Housing </i>skittering sounds and David Thomas' dada vocals...and while I sorely miss Allen Ravenstine's noise synth genius, Robert Wheeler's EML stylings are compelling, fleshing out the sound like the body electric. Drums drive the sound with melodic snippet from various synths poking through the swampy soup, scratching the consciousness like a errant mosquito. On a few tracks, Thomas' vocal are mumbled shards, much like the dancing broken funhouse glass that makes the climax of Orson Welles' classic film <i style="font-weight: bold;">The Lady From Shanghai, </i>from which Ubu borrow the title, such a nightmarish hallucinatory experience...and like this release, a beautiful thing.</span></div>
