We received a large bundle of goodies from the ABSURD RECORDS label in Greece, run by the very devoted Nicolas Malevitsis. This arrived around late August…some of the packaging on offer here is extremely imaginative. Tasos Stamou’s Infant CDR (EDITIONS_ZERO#15) arrives housed in an uncompleted needlepoint sampler replete with images of a happy clown and a childish nursery train set. His compositions thereon use some kiddy instruments and refer extensively to toys, playtime, and infantility. In like manner, the new CD by Un Caddie Renverse dans l’Herbe is wrapped in an elaborate, fold-out card package that seems to have been created from a child’s slightly warped picture book. The Reversed Supermarket Trolley Flies Towards The Rainbow (LALIA RECORDS LA 01) involves its purchaser having to unclip said rainbow (and movable trolley) to get to the single-track 50-minute recording therein. Music-box chimes combine with the reassuring purr of distant friendly voices to convey an idyllic childhood vista.

Absurd #33 refuses to yield its title. Housed in an octagonal card gatefold is a little seven-inch single, credited to those reliable American weird-mutts Emil Beaulieu and Jason Lescalleet. Not yet spun in this house, but at least it doesn’t have lock-grooves. Traditional family values are evoked by yet another image of childhood innocence on the cover (two kids with balloons), only to be strangely subverted by a cartoon drawing of a nuclear family living under the sea dressed in diving suits. Absurd #65 is performed by Yiorgis Sakellariou and may or may not be a single track titled ‘mecha/orga’. Here, the sleeve photos take a blank and anonymous look at modern shopping malls and empty rooms, sometimes populated by lonely old people. The steely and harsh drone on the grooves appears to grow menacingly for best part of one hour. In all, not quite the sort of upbeat tourist vision of Athens you might expect!

Loukia Katsimeri has made lively field recordings in the village of Sohos (EDITIONS_ZERO#12) – or rather, said recordings have been ‘accidentally discovered’ in the Editions_zero archives. Subjected to a mild collage action, we’ve got 31 minutes of indifferent clanking and indistinct voices to while away our time. One is more intrigued by the blurry cover photo which depicts two rustic charmers bedecked with many bells and chimes hanging at their belts; presumably shepherds, suggesting that what we hear is simply a random and spontaneous concert of ovis and capra-related music. I’m feeling on slightly more familiar turf with Loops Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (EDITIONS_ZERO#11), an insane concoction of sharp-edged spinning constructs and ugly voice mutations from the bizarre Panagiotis Spoulos. The unsettling erotic cover art that accompanies his eight tracks, and titles like ‘Afrirampo Spitting Hell’, confirm his status as a determined surrealist nutcase trying to trump every single release on United Dairies.

Kiwako Kaneda returns us to the theme of the joys of infancy with Cake Of Sea (ECLIPSIS#02 / ABSURD#60), a record housed in one of Nicolas’ distinctive circular-card fold-outs and decorated with optimistic images of happy smiling children. So far this is the most conventionally musical of the batch on offer in the jiffybag, and the gifted Japanese creator’s devotion to simplicity and honesty gives this record real charm as well as beauty. (ad)VANCE(d) is the performing name of one Mars F Wellink, and he made poem#red128dot (ABSURD#RED_DOT) in 2006 using field recordings from around Arnhem, Leiden and Molovos. Another charmer with a slightly dark edge, this 35-minute droner is wrapped in a long card wallet whose strange drawings convey a dimension of mental instability which I can’t yet find in the music.

IMCA (ABSURD#62) is a substantial record featuring some major players in the area of out-there obscurist droning – Frans de Waard, John Hudak, and Guido Huebner, joined by Isabelle Chemin and Ios Smolders. We are dealing with a strange and secret project originally released in 1991 on the Korm Plastics label in a tiny edition, here remastered for CD release. IMCA stands for the International Musique Concrète Assembly, there is a connection with The Hafler Trio, and a further link to Das Synthetisches Mischgewebe. I’ve only had time to peruse the edgy and bewildering opening track, but this one promises to be a total headscratcher of wilfully impenetrable mystery noise. The diagrams and blobby photos on the sleeve art won’t give anything away either!

More field recordings from Dead Traveller, with Outside My Window Vol 1 (EDITIONS_ZERO#17), a title than which you can’t get more descriptive. Each episode of urban mundanity is faithfully mirrored by the artist’s tape recorder, with a brief note outlining the circumstances of its capture. He’s no Chris Watson, but I think the 31-minute droney opener – called simply ‘The Drone’ – could prove therapeutic and beneficial to my ears and torso. Lucio Capece is the Argentinean sax player who has been making inroads both into quiet puffing (with Axel Dörner) and loud feedback noise (with Mattin). On Soprano Saxophone, a DVD, you can see and hear him at work using foreign objects (plastic tubs, sticks) to vary the sound of his instrument. His studiousness when recorded at Labor Sonor in Berlin is undeniable; the man appears to be in a trance of concentration, each movement deliberate and slow. There’s also a document of his feedback and mixer work from an earlier festival in Buenos Aires, and it promises to be plenty lively, but I can’t get any sound out of this one (must get some new codecs!).

Interviews with PHILIP SANDERSON, TETUZI AKIYAMA, FRANK ROTHKAMM, JOE FRAWLEY, CULTURAL AMNESIA and UNSEEN, plus scads of record reviews and artworks from cover to cover.

Second update as we clear the decks for action…first thing grabbed from the cardboard pit is a frankly bizarre-looking package provided by Cucumber Farmer. Their Empirical Research on Western Popular Music 1993-2006 (AMERICAN BROTHERS ABR086) is paired with a second disc credited to Pink Twins, called Reconstructions of Western Popular Music – presumably a remix of the first emanation. The Cucumber guys are a five-piece of guitarists and singers, occasionally augmented by guest players on keyboard and machines. Their names look kinda Finnish. The gatefold spread is packed with dense meta-textual commentary the like of which we haven’t seen since Paul Morley’s ZTT releases blighted UK pop in 1984, and the front cover is a pastiche of the Sex Pistols LP. Plus there’s a quote from Nietzsche on the back cover. There may be one too many knowing references going on here (and we haven’t even got to the track titles yet!), but the music seems decent enough, inoffensive slow-stonerish rock laced with studio echo, additional foreign sounds and heavily disguised processed vocalising.

We all love it when avant-gardesters pick up a familiar instrument such as the guitar and emerge with a record which seems to have nothing whatever to do with what we think we know about the guitar. Andy Moor has thrown his trilby into the ring with Marker (UNSOUNDS U14), wringing many a crinkly effect from the neck of his axe across 15 adventurous cuts, sometimes doing it with overdubbing and multitracking (is there a difference? In his mind, yes). Plus he has seen fit to regale us with lush colour photographs of his exciting travels abroad, in the inserted colour booklet to this digipack. Judging by the sharp rendering and baffling choice of subject, he clearly intends to give Jon Wozencroft some heavy competition. The disc is pressed on a Sony DACD, which presumably affords superior listening enjoyment.

Business as usual with Giuseppe Ielasi on August (12K1044), his latest release for the American 12K label which has produced many excellent minimal meisterwerks. The Italian genius turns in five long tracks of very discreet and gently textured humming fragility, aided in places by the trumpet of Heimo Wallner and the tape recorder of Renato Rinaldi. The intriguing front cover portrays a dog lying down in some urban conurbation in Hanoi, a photograph which rejoices in many perplexing reflections.

I’ve kind of lost touch with Sunburned Hand of the Man and have not been following their recorded exploits with the sort of devotion that I might. Their new Fire Escape (SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND STS134CD) however shows they have come some considerable distance since I last auditioned them. Nine studio recordings made at a London location, and the core Sunburners (the only names I’m certain of are those of John Moloney, the ‘leader’ and drummer, plus the excellent guitarist Marc Orleans) are joined by Bridget Hayden and Michael Flower, who used to be in Vibracathedral Orchestra. Tunes which formerly would have lasted for at least one side of an LP are now trimmed to five minutes of punchy, semi-psychedelic noodling. The sound is a lot ‘crisper’ than I ever recall hearing from this band, and in places they seem to be aiming at a species of avant-garde Funkadelic jam session (although the model in their minds was probably the Sun Ra Arkestra), while a title such as ‘Captain Knowhere’ gives a nod and a wink to Jerry Garcia of The Dead. Released on the very cool Norwegian label and with crazed colour cover artwork by EYE of Boredoms.

The great American Alvin Curran (avant composer and core member of MEV) is certainly enjoying a new lease of life in recent years, oft-times collaborating with aspiring and talented young European electronicists (he made one record with Domenico Sciajno in 2004). The Art of the Fluke (TEAR RECORDS TEAR004) is one such, made with Cenk Ergün. The eight tracks within are presumably concocted from a mixture of sound samples and electronic bites, stitched together inside the virtual space of a heavy-duty computer. The titles, such as ‘moustrapballbait’, are fairly impenetrable, and the inside sleeve note muses wistfully on the occurrence of chance accidents in the world, pointing with one finger towards the lottery wheel and with another towards six-headed dogs buried in a tar pit. The front cover photo, with its close-up of impasto paint smeared on a canvas, is likewise inviting us to discover rich chance events in the visual mode. Verily, that old John Cage concept of aleatory-ness has become the belief system that just keeps on giving.

Hello and welcome back to the semi-regular ‘new arrivals’ posts…the box is completely overflowing at the moment and we shall never see its cardboard bottom. I’ve been busy writing issue 16. Oh Astro have sent Champions of Wonder (IA115). They are from the Illegal Art collective, a faceless group of concept artists based in America who are dedicated to undermining the world’s common sense through audio collage. Previous outings from that label have been rather snide and sarcastic, but this one seems to be laden with friendly beats and even a sneaky melody or two lurking among its twisted corners. Complex sleeve overprints scrawly images of cats and children, like loose leaves torn from the diary of an outsider loon-boon.

Jean-Francois Laporte seems to be a stone-groove elephant of the electro-acoustic school, rushing forwards with a collection of his late 1990s recordings on soundmatters (23FIVE 009). His ‘Electro-prana’ is derived from wind recordings, but unlike many artistes who have taken their devices out into the windy ringing plains of Greece and Poland and come back with vacant statements, Laporte instead brings back a sinister rendering of that friendly puffery, transforming the wind from mankind’s friend into its deadliest enemy. I’m hoping for further sombre thoughts from the remainder of this package…slipcase cover is pretty much just a colour-field painting of ochres and reds. If it were 25 foot square, you could lose yourself in its muddy textures.

Marcus Schmickler is a great European hero of the digital medium, and he’s trumpeting forth with a new electronic menacer called Altars of Science 1-8 (Stereo Mix) for the famous Editions Mego label in Austria (EDITIONS MEGO 082P). With that inscrutable title, is he intending to criticise our unquestioning acceptance of contemporary scientific methods? Or is he all in favour of white-coated boffins ruling the world with a titanium fist? Hear these steely stern sounds and decide for yourself. His minimalistic mystery and odd dynamics work to great effect here, and while this disc is not as overloaded as label head’s Peter Rehberg’s KTL projects, it’s in the same general area of consternation. Y’may wanna know that the label has also reissued Hotel Paral.lel (EDITIONS MEGO 016P) by Christian Fennesz, in a nice remastered version with an additional video by Tina Frank burned on.

Mathieu Ruhlmann – here’s a very nice record I had hoped to squeeze into issue 16 of the magazine, but my crowbar-wielding capabilities failed me. The Earth Grows in Each of Us (AFE0971CD) is an optimistic and warm statement from AFE Records in Italy (they also sent two excellent Edward Ruchalski records) and arrives in a slimline card wallet, decorated with photos and collages very suggestive of Joseph Cornell’s work. Aurally, Ruhlmann seems to promise similar worlds of associative mystery and nostalgia, backed up with titles like ‘all will grow young again’. He plays many acoustic instruments and applies his nimble fingers to lots of objects found in nature, such as pine cones and tree branches (shades of Jeph Jerman there). The overall sound surface however ends up quite heavily treated in the recording process, and emerges resembling an out-of-focus photograph. Lyrical and enchanting.

Martin Archer of Sheffield has sent in Randomworld 1 (DISCUS 31CD), another release on his own Discus label, but this one is limited to 150 CDRs and the all-white CDR is packed alongside a square chunk of artboard, said slab smeared with yellow, red and orange paint blobs. Presumably Archer had a pleasant afternoon creating these unique covers by climbing into his garden shed and dribbling over large sheets of card with house paint, then slicing up the results into CD artworks. The music features Archer plus his friends and collaborators Chris Bywater, Neil Carver, Chris Meloche and someone called UTT – all credited with playing various acoustic and electronic instruments, field recordings or turntables, and processing work. Judging by the few minutes I have auditioned, it’s a sprawling canvas of assemblage, but with no harsh edits - instead we have something designed to give the impression of one hour’s worth of continuous strange music. Promising.

Think I’ve got a large batch of newies from Temporary Residence, the NY label that deals in slightly odd and dark alternative rock, but I can only lay hands on one of them at the moment. Sleeping People’s Growing (TRR123) is a collection of ten edgy avant-rock instrumentals, all delivered with a surprisingly spare and effects-free sound, and with titles like ‘Centipede’s Dream’ and ‘Grow Worm’ the band are edging into vaguely dreamlike territory. Not as nightmarish as I would like, but Sleeping People are a crisp combo (with a very good drummer who can handle the tricky time signatures). The cover art almost looks like a classic Mark Beyer drawing from 1983, with its humanised water towers on top of a tenement building.

Don’t forget to go to the London Musicians’ Collective Experimental Music Festival in London this year. It starts on 29th November 2007 and ends on 1st December - the same year! What a way to mark the changing of the months. If you live in London, it’s at the Cochrane Theatre in Southampton Row. If you don’t live in London, it’s still at the same venue, only more wood panelling is involved. I remember I went to one of these LMC festivals a few years ago and it was quite good. They used to be held in May, and now they aren’t. This year features some of my favourite musicians. The larger-than-life Charlemagne Palestine will be skied over from Belgium in a big tea-chest. For his music he has often covered a grand piano with lots of soft toys. When he did it in Gateshead for Barry Esson’s festival, they had to buy the animals specially from a local shop called Bear Heaven. But on this occasion he’ll be doing his double-harpsichord piece. Taku Sugimoto will also be performing, but barely. I understand he’s so quiet these days that you have to use inbuilt sonar devices you never knew you had just to say good morning to him. If he brings his guitar, chances are it’ll be wrapped in cotton wool. Angharad Davies is the sister of Rhodri Davies the harpist from Wales. I never heard the sister play, but if she’s anything like the brother then you’ll be skinned alive by the severity of her strings – assuming she plays a stringed instrument, that is. Norbert Möslang is the Swiss noiseter who used to be one half of Voice Crack. He was more fun back in the 1980s and 1990s, but even so the way he wields his weird electronic devices usually makes the mice come out to see what all the commotion is. The UK contingent features the reliable player John Butcher, the saxophonist who can empty a warehouse of cardboard boxes with one blow of his steel monster. There’s plenty more names on offer: Steve Beresford, Yasunao Tone, Bob Levene, Julia Eckhardt, Michael Duch, Robin Hayward, Matt Davis, Tony Buck, Burkhard Stangl, Margarida Garcia, Barry Weisblat and Helena Gough. There may be exciting combinations of players the likes of which you will have not have encountered since Derek Bailey’s Company Week, where there used to be fist-fights breaking out on a regular basis. You can get a Festival Pass to enjoy all three days for only £35, which is about the price of two sandwiches in the V&A cafeteria. So what are you waiting for?
