Oneohtrix Point Never / Slow Listener - Untitled (Archivo De Sangre De Dios, 2008)

A Oneothrix Point Never - Bipeds With Devalued Faces 9:54
B Slow Listener - Undiagnosed Sleep Disorder 9:50

Oneohtrix Point Never seem to be on the path to super plaudits at the moment, their recent run of releases getting spattered with glitter and the underground’s finest champagne. “Bipeds with Devalued Faces” is synth music that’s been brundlized, analogue on the margin of an error. What’s most interesting about this cut is the way it feels like particles are competing against other, there’s a strain in the sound. This is the (electrical) stormiest material that OPN have dropped to date. Like the Oneohtrix Point Never side, Slow Listener’s track comes in at under ten minutes. If these two had to go at each other in some kind of alternate reality drone dog fight, you’d be better banking on Slow Listener. Their track, “Undiagnosed Sleep Disorder”, beckons visions of a special place through the tones. Although it’s live, and despite a few sniffles from the audience, this sounds like it was recorded away somewhere safe and hidden – there’s a great atmosphere on this too short piece. There’s a conscious pleasure in both this, and much of Slow Listener’s other output, its simplicity its strength. Transmissions from Radio Dusk.

Small Things On Sundays – 4 AM (Moving Furniture Records, 2010)

4 AM is an album with dark structures created with guitar and vinyl. Music for the moment human activities are at a minimum. Dark droning ambient music.

Read what the duo has to say about their album:
“4 AM” is the first full-length release from the danish duo Small Thing on Sundays.

The members’ interest for music and vinyl records led to the formation in 2005, starting with free improvisations with electronic treatments of vinyl records in any tempo. Since then, Small Things on Sundays has refined their signature sounds, and added more sound sources. The duo works with different stylistic challenges in periods of time. Prior to Small Things on Sundays, both members have made music in various constellations – Henrik Bagner played in a free-structure noice-guitar band in the 90-es, which unfortunately never left the rehearsal space, and Claus Poulsen has been playing since his childhood in various bands, the best known is the noise-ensemble Alarm112.
“4 AM” came from a string of sessions using vinyl records at very slow speeds and detuned guitars played with a violin bow. This produced a string of organic, multilayered dark ambient tracks. On muliple playbacks, the listener will dig deeper into the layers of the music, exposing new details.
The title refers to the blurred line between night and day. Did you suddenly wake up or are you still in a dream? Perhaps the sounds will take you to a place of daydreaming. A movie soundtrack for your own inner film.
An other reference to the title is, that this is the hour of the day, where human activities are at a minimum. Surroundings are cast in darkness, but where will be a residue from human-made sources or the faint light from nature. And if you look up you will see a starlit sky or the white smoke from the nearby power plant. So perhaps we are romantic realists?

Frank Rowenta - Klänge Siziliens (Field Muzick, 2007)

1 Untitled 5:24
2 Untitled 1:14
3 Untitled 2:43
4 Untitled 5:57
5 Untitled 1:09
6 Untitled 3:13

It is true: Releasing 3'' CDs is going to cost you money, not earn you any. On the other hand, just like in real life, beauty has its price. And when a genre like „Field Recordings“, which already by its very nature implies low sales and a high degree of idealism, meets this philosphy, then commercial considerations bear no relevance anyway. And thus „Klänge Siziliens“ wants to be judged by its intrinsic and purely artistic value alone – without regard to its universal appeal or hit-potential.

Not that we expected anything else from the label run by Marcus Obst, who in his dayjob works as a graphic designer and to whom the outward appearance of things is not only equally important as their content, but not seperated from it at all. Again, as with the two Mini abums preceeding this one, the disc itself is perfectly black on the one and snowwhite on the other side and the tiny booklet comes on heavy, glossy foto paper – both an aesthetic and haptic pleasure. Frank Rowenta, too, can hardly be described as a musician looking for a popstar status and easy fame. A tape artist in the 80s, he was always too much of his own boss to fit into any drawer, genre or niche and despite some noteworthy archival recordings over the last years he has remained distant from any scene. There is a slight chance that this will change, as Rowenta has returned with a double attack of new works, the wondrous „Klänge Siziliens“ („Sounds of Sicily), a barely twenty minute long aural travel log of his last holiday in Italy as well as the impudently lo-fi „Raumstudien #1“ on Gruenrekorder (which is even more wondrous and wonderful, but more about that in a bit). For the release at hand, Rowenta decided to point his microphone towards any old sound source he could find and to mix the tapes together in his home studio: People talking, the noises from the street, cars, screetching hollers, rumblings and rollings. On top of that, he added dissonant and pandemoneously swelling drones, weird sizzlings and bizarre little effects as well as sweet guitar playing and even some cello abstractions and high-pitched pizzicatos. The result has nothing in common with the typical travel guide soundtracks and defies any stereotypes you might hold about mediterranean culture and its people – after all, this is Sicily and for each orange vendor standing in the shade of a tree, as the cliche has it, there is at least one drug dealer standing behind it. Rowenta knows how to create moods that leave you emotionally unstable and yet unable to take your eyes and ears away from the action, while the carefully arranged cycle of six tracks, which go from aggressive to dangerously sedated and back again, pulls you in like a maelstroem.

Like on previous „Field Muzick“ offerings, the field recordings are not the main focal point, they are merely the core around which the pulp slowly continues to grow. But their presence and the human element which comes with it puts them into a conflict with the music, which remains consciously alien and emotionally divergent. It is this constant tension which makes „Klänge Siziliens“ an equally disturbing and hypnotic listen – and one, which could well appeal to more than just the 50 copies pressed by the label.

Yann Novak - Dark Room (Dragon's Eye Recordings, 2006)

1 Unwind. Make Out Pt.1 9:24
2 Edges. Make Out Pt.2 10:56

Seattle’s Novak has cranked out another great release, commissioned as a soundtrack to a dance project. The dancers are blindfolded, so maybe you should cover your eyes when you listen to the tracks here. If you do, you’ll start to feel as though you’re bumping around in a room filled with empty ammunition canisters, before you get blast off on the back of an ICBM à la Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove. Both sensations are better than you might imagine. So don’t be afraid.
The Wire

Seattle-based sound designer/dismantler Yann Novak has been all over the style map via his label, everything noise-infused, drone-derived, and glitch-glutted—he’s one of many little-known and underappreciated American ‘scape-artists. Too bad, too, as Dragon’s Eye has been releasing some sterling documentation on the CDR format as of late. Take these two cool lit’l 3”s. On Dark Room, Novak does a sort of reductionist riff on Merzbow, softening the blast wave with discernible atmospheres and a teeming detail of well-coordinated tings, tangs and thrums; I’d be happy if its 20-minute length were easily doubled. Up Close gets quite personal, eschewing the brash for the blippy; these alien symphonies are practically jaunty, extraterrestrial juju for Martian jukeboxes. Interstellar, and, well, quite stellar.

Slow Listener - Bad Coffee Day (Peasant Magik, 2007 (2008 reissue))

A1 Terrible Down
A2 Ondras
B1 Roessler K
B2 Holidays Are For People Who Hate Their Lives

I love music that starts with simple tools to create profound effects, both tonally and emotionally. I guess you'd have to if you end up writing for a webzine like Foxy D. But I often wonder if the well will run dry one day. Soon. The idea of simplicity has been taken to such extremes in the underground these days, it begs the question: How do you retain an individual sound if your oeuvre consists of one or two tones played on consumer-grade electronics? But when I get tapes like Slow Listener's Bad Coffee Day, I'm reminded it's best to shut the hell up and pay attention for a change.

Yes, the palette is rather simple on this cassette: plenty of feedback from unknown sources, electronic effects, maybe a synthesizer or two I cannot confirm. And while this set-up may conjure images of the latest batch of uninspired pedal noise, Slow Listener lives up to the improbable moniker as his tonal creations unfold with patience and a keen ear for effect.

The A-side is split into two songs which flow together seamlessly for twenty outstanding minutes. Terrible Down begins with a few light tones and a bit of grinding distortion, each element inexorably connected as they are subtly manipulated. For every passing minute, new sounds join into the interplay, as old sounds reemerge, slightly altered, to counteract. Carefully, the mix thickens in volume and as the familiar elements give the composition definition and the new elements push the track forward. This track abruptly cuts into Ondras, which opens with shortwave radio styled electronics that are acerbic to the ear but are soon diluted by humming feedback tones that oscillate to dimensional prominence. There is an incredible sense of balance on the A-side between the abrasiveness and serenity that only unsubtle feedback can create, executed to perfection by Slow Listener.

But the balance on the A-side gradually diminishes throughout the duration of the B. You?d expect a coffee-referencing title to be heavy on the bitterness and that seems to be the modus operandi for these twenty minutes, sounding like a photo negative in contrast to the clarity of the A. Coincidentally, I tried listening to this while drinking bad coffee this morning. The abrasive ambience of Roessler K and Folgers flavor crystals (who bought this shit?) did little to sour my initial impressions. This track is composed with similar techniques as Terrible Down, but comes off just a little harder on the ears. We close with the awesomely-titled Holidays Are For People Who Hate Their Life. It may sound as though your cable came slightly unplugged, but the tones never reach complete stasis before they are chopped into slivers and twisted through space. This track may lack in some of the dynamics that so impressed on the rest of the tape, but still holds weight as expertly-manipulated feedback experiment that produces an awesome array of noise textures.

Props to Salvatore Giorgi, label head for Peasant Magik, for putting together this awesome tape package with nice artwork by cartoonist James Ulmer on heavy card stock insert. You should start buying this stuff now because it looks like Slow Listener is getting up in a big way with a ton of releases slated for the coming year on a ton of awesome labels including Ruralfaune and Celebrate Psi Phenomenon. This tape certainly proves his pedigree as an awesome new talent in the perpetually-engaging, never-endangered sphere of free-noise.

Zbigniew Karkowski - Choice Of Points For The Application Of Force (Ytterbium, 2000)

1 Vague 14:53
2 Idented 14:09
3 Delimited 13:11

Zbigniew Karkowski has been generating physically impressive sound collages for the past 2 decades, with a number of solo projects as well as in collaboration with Merzbow, the Hafler Trio, John Duncan, Sensorband, Aube, and others. Karkowski, like Duncan, approaches sound as a pure energy that has the potential to overwhelm and control the listener with an almost totalitarian force. While his sounds resemble the pure sine waves of Ryoji Ikeda or Noto, he contextualizes such sounds not as theatrical abstractions of '60s minimalism, but as violent rips in time & space.
"Choice of Points for The Application of Force" begins with a noxious low end rumble that fills any space with huge standing waves that resonate through the body. Slowly, gritty chunks of digitized noise explode against the low frequencies, building up to mid-range static buzzing and black-hole energy. An excellent addition to any catalogue of digital clickery, with a definite emphasis on the darkside.

Giesela weaves a carpet of time from the noises and tones she finds - as if these were made of cloth. You can expect lullabies, family portraits and some surprises on this record. 4 pieces of serene and almost sacral music – with the exception of piece number three, which is of almost breathtaking concreteness.

Slow Listener - Desolation Sound (Tape Drift Records, 2008)

1 Tempts Fate 23:36
2 Lack Thereof 16:15

UK-based Slow Listener is the one man drone project of Robin Dickinson, whose slowly churning and burning works are in great demand, having earned him releases on labels including Ruralfaune, Celebrate Psi Phenomenon and Students of Decay. Where so many drone artists today opt for a dense fog of sound through which they can shoot pieces of melody or texture though, Slow Listener opts for a far more demanding, and ultimately viscerally effective take on the medium.

Desolation Sound is made up of two tracks. The first, "Tempts Fate," is a near twenty-five minute epic. Opening with the sound of a bellowing fog horn, the piece moves on from that point as if it is breaking that sound into its smaller and simpler constituent parts, from which he further extracts sounds, layering one upon another until they become a thing of stark and lurching beauty. It's not happy music to be sure, but as the work moves through its various stages--which include densely cluttered miniature works all their own, harsher industrial landscapes or high frequency buzzing riding above mid-tone oscillations, to name a few--it develops a strange balance between meditative and massive. No one sound can not be derived from the last it seems, making for a contiguous heap requiring in its present all that has come before. By the end, it is nearly too much to keep track of.

The second track, "Lack Thereof," is a slightly more manageable sixteen minutes, although this too is heavy and slow, a black hole of a piece. Opening with high bird-like calls, the piece eventually adds what sounds like one of those electric hair razors trimming away at shreds of tiny follicles, as if trying to get to the real heart of the matter one piece at a time. These sounds further mutate, the birds eventually dissolving into the background before the guitar razor spends the next ten minutes or so just shaping and reshaping itself against faint high notes or distant echoing low-end bellows. It's beautifully intricate and paced masterfully so as to leave enough time to highlight each and every subtle difference.

Released on Eric Hardiman's (of Century Plants) own Tape Drift label a while back, but maybe still available. Beautiful little package with a big big sound.

1 Pulsation (Oscillation Vibration) 16:25
2 Quazar 20:49
3 Oberon (Greymatter) 21:11
4 Alternate Spectrum (Transmission) 14:08

by request

This new release from Canadian Adham Shaikh is quite remarkable and lengthy -most tracks run 20 minutes. His selections of noises and structures are unique and intriguing. Some tracks are soft yet very densely layered, uplifting ambient pillows to dream on. Other tracks seem to reside in a haunting eerie darkness of beautifully strange frequencies and tribal tendencies. The first track “Pulsation (Oscillation Vibration)” begins and ends with a soft spacey techno pace. What lies in the middle are pleasant layers of noises, frequencies and feelings that one might experience leaving the earth’s atmosphere, orbiting rapidly around an aimlessly wandering asteroid and then re-entering the atmosphere! Track 2 “Quazar” could be a soundtrack to a very groovy cyber (and yes ambient) film not yet in existence. This track seems to be made with certain images in mind. Track 3, “Oberon (Grey Matter)” is a wonderful supplement for any environment. What begins as slightly electronic and austere goes through very subtle changes over a long period of time right before your ears and before you realize it you have been floating forever with only love and clouds in your mind. Track 4 “Alternate Spectrum (Transmission)” is a nice combination and balance of seemingly organic sounds and very electronic sounds. This track isn’t as long as the others but is just as powerful and developed. All the music on Adham Shaikh’s CD appears to have been designed to take the listener to specific places with specific feelings. The music is moody and full of many brilliantly executed transitions from the deep dark and eerie to the beautiful and heavenly. These types of transitions could come across as
awkward and amateur, but seem very very natural here.
