new CRCD 142 amptext + bass/Blk w bear (CDR) $8 - newest split release in the series between amptext + bass (Daniel Barbiero on bass, Gary Rouzer on amplified textures), which gives us five tracks of abstract musings mixing various articulations of a string bass accompamied by myriad found sound and micro-percussive treatments. Quiet and pensive, always with something new to say. Blk w bear (aka J.S. Adams, Doug Poplin, P.D. Sexton, Renee Shaw) is a nice contrast presenting a bigger sound using loops, cello, bass and effects to all. Four tracks of droning chaos and timbre massacre incorporating elements of glitch and sonic corrosion. The sound of things falling apart. Comes in the usual split release art paper covers in vinyl sleeves. |

Here he gives us a track recorded live with Andre Custodio (aka, Nihil Communication, Say Bok Gwai) in San Francisco, CA, who use live sampling, processing, and synthesizer.

CRCD 130 Caress of My Fist "Etudes in Violence" (CDR) $8 - free acoustic duo set by prolific violinist Michael Khoury and Sax/flutist Fred Bergman, supplemented by rotating third member on various tracks, Curtis Glatter (percussion) or Chris Riggs (guitar).

CRCD 129 Jeph Jerman/AMK (CDR) $8 - tenth release in the split series, a treat for the ears if you like abstract sound. Jeph gives us one long track of layered noise, primarily from a 22" gong, the overtones rising and falling, sometimes sounding like bells, other times a bit angrier like feedback. The action is in the details here. AMK presents us with two shorter tracks, the first using cut-ups (or is that turntablisms), the second using processed records (or so it seems to me) as source material. |

CRCD 125 Michael Gendreau "Voûtes" (CDR) $8 - Les Voûtes (Paris, France) 16 June 2004 - This installation performance integrated the unique layout of this group of arch-shaped vaults (photographs at lesvoutes.org) located under the rue Tolbiac in Paris. Due to the thick masonry, the vehicles on the road above are generally not audible in the performance space below, but they cause micro-vibration which is not perceivable without sensitive instruments. Several seismic accelerometers were installed in the brickwork to sense and then amplify the vibration to audible levels. Furthermore, the shape of the structure alters the frequency content of the vibration so that the amplified vibrations take on various characters depending on the measurement location within an arch. Vibration recordings were made throughout the day of the performance from different points in the structure, which were then organized and combined with a live feed from the (stereo) vibrations from the vaults on either side of the performance vault. |

CRCD 124 Fred Lonberg-Holm/Brekekekexkoaxkoax (CDR) $8 - eighth in the split series of disks we have the feedback acoustic sounds of Fred Lonberg-Holm a longtime artist in the avantgard of sound making. Here he uses his cello as a vibration source for his feedback sounds. There is the sense that Fred really listened to what he was doing rather than just letting the instrument squeal away in abandon. Brekekekexkoaxkoax takes a more acoustic path using various instruments in a playful free form expression. |

CRCD 123 Embracing the Glass/Haslam (CDR) $8 - seventh in the split series we have two artists who take the ambient minimalist route. EtG's use of guitar, electronics and wordless vocals give us a dreamy mental landscape that encourages a relaxed state of mind - a bit sad and a bit creepy at times, it won't put you to sleep, but it won't bang you on the head either - Haslam's work follows in the same steps as EtG but is all electronic - the difference is in the sustained sense of awe and foreboding - his work is much darker in tone - limited to 100 copies. |
