New Guitar Improv. from Rose Hips and Beneath Addendum

I have just put up some improv. pieces for treated guitar, along with some fake Magma (or Ruins without either bass or drums). I've been listening to a lot of Fred Frith and Area lately, but this doesn't really sound like either. I also tacked on Catacombs, from Beneath, my Arha drone/doom recording. It didn't get included with the zip that I posted of Beneath.

Invocation to the Mighty Maple

Depression Exorcism convened this morning and gathered beneath the ancient maple that stands at the heart of their compound in Intervale. This is a field recording, captured by me with the microphone on my mp3 player. In deference to the wishes of Depression Exorcism, I averted my eyes during the invocation rites, as these are not for the eyes of the uninitiated.

Depression Exorcism Thinks About Classical Music

This is a recent ritual, captured by the members of Depression Exorcism. The London Philharmonia put up an extensive library of orchestral samples, and this discovery led to a group discussion of the role of "classical" or "concert" music in contemporary society. Depression Exorcism is attracted to the idea of composition, and the timbres of orchestral music, but lacks the resources to employ the rather expensive services of classically trained musicians, to be brought in from outside the community. In addition, as they are very secretive and will not record outside of Intervale, the discovery of compositional materials provided by the London Philharmonia was a gift straight from Calliope. This music was manifested on a rainy night in August, with the members of Depression Exorcism seated in a half-moon formation, and clad in purple velvet tuxedos, with the exception of the conductor, who was ceremonially sky-clad, and who conducted with a wand formed from a branch of the Mighty Maple.

Depression Exorcism

Depression Exorcism is from Intervale, New Hampshire. They recorded this album, which is also called Depression Exorcism, under a waterfall that is located directly on the border between the U.S. and Canada. All sounds on the recording were sourced from an 8-track copy of "Voice of the Turtle", which had been previously left out in the rain during one of the band's extended, ritualistic performances.
The pieces on the album are based on a programmatic song cycle, which follows the progress of the Earth as it cools, then forms into megacontinents.
At the center of the album is a ritual, recorded in real time, entitled: "Regeneration". Stones, wood, iron, and water were all used, along with the human voice, to invoke water-logged and cthonic elder forces alike.
Depression Exorcism have released this press statement: Depression Exorcism is love.
We strive to communicate the big stories- epic scope has always been our perspective. Living as we do in a liminal space on the border, we find that the possibilities blend as categories strain and crack....

I was trying out a midi recording program, looking to inject a little Xhol Caravan/Ex-Magma flavor into my stuff. The data didn't transfer to Audacity correctly, and it created this cool percussive glitch. I edited it into a couple of pieces, and, as usual, over treated/manipulated the data. iii and Towers Open Fire are extended experiments with repetition, and the Towers Open Fire series is transitional. I'm going to work on more minimal/acoustic stuff in the next couple of weeks

Throbbing Gristle Tribute!

I took the source material for these two companion pieces from the TG Camber Sands shows. The biblical allusion is a little heavy handed, I know, but it's a tribute to Genesis P-Orridge Breyer. I think that the resulting mixes sound more like Nurse With Wound than TG, but hey, what can you do?

Last Burroughs Mix

I recreated the mix of Inflexible Authority. For it, I mixed Burroughs reading with a multitracked, manipulated recording of the Gnawa Brotherhood of Morocco. Burroughs was very interested in the trance inducing properties of the music created by the Gnawas, along with the Master Musicians.

Black Metal/Doom/Post-Industrial

If you check out the widget, I've just added a piece that I recorded just this morning. It's kind of meta- I worked really hard, slaved, in fact, to make this digitally recorded soft-studio track sound like it was recorded in somebody's basement. Think Burzum remixed!
