David Payne y Steve Smith (junto con Rob Michalchuk en algunos temas) se sumergen durante 41 minutos en improvisación electro-acústica en minúsculas, con guitarras y electrónica crujientes, saxos ahogados, todo ello embarrado en un sonido no tan lo-fi como anteriores grabaciones pero igualmente acogedor que permite escuchar las fascinantes partes del asombroso conjunto.

De Cincinnati, Ohio, vienen Hearts of Palm, un trio de improvisación al que en esta ocasión se une el prolífico C. Spenser Yeh al violín (Burning Star Core, Organs y otros, y ha colaborado con artistas y grupos experimentales y noise como Wasteland Jazz Unit, John Wiese, Paul Flaherty, Sick Llama, Aaron Dilloway...). Este es su cuarto CDR en diez años que llevan improvisando. En un solo tema de 31 minutos forman una amalgama sonora unas veces etérea y otras intensa, con sonidos electrónicos, violínes, sintes, pianos percusivos, instrumentos no identificados, y percusión libre al estilo de Harry Partch y Moondog. Añade a esto pasajes de ruido, de psicodelia libre, drones, voces sacadas de un templo budista, que te llevan por distintos escenarios y ambientes imaginarios, desde una jungla llena de monos esquizofrénicos a una red de alcantarillado de ciudad llena de ratas hippie tocando música improvisada libre. Échale imaginación y disfruta.

Reseña (Animal Psi, Feb. 2010)
"Similar to the recent solo release of Ahno Zwei player Nicolash (released on FNS imprint Fater Disks) for its experiment with sonic field, ‘Earth Headed Heart’ by Cincinnati improv trio Hearts of Palm relishes in the open physicality of their method, as though they foremost play the space as opposed to make a sound. This immediacy translates surprisingly well, as the depth and separation of this high fidelity recording allows an easy placement of the sonic objects which litter the single, 30 minute track. Here joined by local institution C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) carving away on violin, the band play with a number of acoustically-mindful devices – some electronic, but mostly otherwise – to produce a cohesive, coherent, yet totally motley sound which writhes aerobically for the duration. Gongs clatter dutifully, throats drone, and radio reports tweak the air pressure in strands. With no harsh cop-outs and no evident stutters, this is a very impressive effort making the most of the improvisational methodology with a maximum of sonic things to get lost among. Handsomely labeled disc comes in a thick, full-color sleeve (design by Aaron Fry). Hand-numbered to 75 copies. Recommended"
Reseña (Wonderful Wooden Reasons)
"An always welcome return from Cincinnati based experi-mentalists HOP who are here joined by C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) on violin. Unlike their previous recordings this is a solid 30 minute block of unadulterated improv. It's noisy, chaotic, anarchic and fun. HoP are very much of the Faustian school of improvising and build their music from hard edged shards of metallic scree. All good improvisation is introspective in that it is reliant on the participants being fully focussed on their part in the whole but HoP's brand doesn't promote introspection on the part of the listener, at least not in this listener. Instead it promotes big cheesy grins as one becomes gloriously ensnared in their multi-layered tangle of textures, instruments and sounds."
Reseña (The Sound Projector, Mayo 2010)
"Equally lush in the aural area is the latest offering from Hearts Of Palm, Cincinnati’s best-kept secret of the US underground. Earth Headed Heart (FOR NOISES SAKE FNS 017) can sometimes give you so much substance and density to listen to that you think your ears are about to have a heart attack, swimming in golden lard and diamond-encrusted starch. For this single 31-minute stretch of bleakened diabolry and mystery sporting-events, the Palmsters are joined by C. Spencer Yeh, that superb violinist and noise-monger from Burning Star Core who has yet (in my view) to put a single foot wrong as he paws his way through the hinterlands. Where previous HOP releases have apparently comprised edits from longer performances, this time out we get the whole thing served up in one hefty man-sized dose, a wodge of such unknown quantity that ingesting it in one sitting could prove fatal. “We wanted to try something a bit more natural this time out,” blithely states one band member in the attached letter. Natural? If they call this natural, I’d certainly hate to go on a ramble in the Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve with these guys! At 75 copies, this is another limited-edition gem of completely twisted, kraut-psych noisy unholiness that wipes the floor with most competitors who aspire to lick salt from the same rocks…no website for this, mail enquiries to heartsofpalm@earthlink.net"

From Cincinnati, Ohio, come Hearts of Palm, an improv trio joined in this ocassion by prolific C. Spenser Yeh on violin (Burning Star Core, Organs and others, and has collaborated with experimental and noise artists and bands such a Wasteland Jazz Unit, John Wiese, Paul Flaherty, Sick Llama, Aaron Dilloway...). This is their forth CDR in ten years they've been improvising. In a single track lasting 31 minutes they form an amalgam sound sometimes intense and sometimes ethereal, with electronic sounds, violins, synths, percusive pianos, unidentified instruments, and Harry Partch and Moondog free percussion style. Add to this noise passages, free psychedelia, drones, Buddhist temple's voices, which take you through various imaginary scenarios and environments, from a jungle full of monkeys with schizophrenia to a city sewer full of hippie rats playing free music with leftovers. Let your imagination run away and enjoy.

Para los que no conozcan al grupo australiano xNoBBQx, es un buen comienzo saber que su música ha sido descrito como "hardcore vegetariano estricto tocado por monos estreñidos", y ligados a grupos y artistas como Harry Pussy, Henry Flynt, Mouthus y Xenakis, en lo que suena como improvisación ruidosa minimal libre primitiva, con sólo guitarra y batería, y un encantador sonido lo-fi. Han editado un puñado de CDRs, casetes y LPs, el más señalado editado por el legendario sello Siltbreeze, alcanzando mayor conocimiento. Este CDR se compone de dos temas de unos 17 minutos cada uno grabados en directo en Sydney durante 2006. El primer tema es una cruda toma de improvisación y ruido libre, en el que caben las estéticas hardcore y punk. El segundo tema empieza donde termina el primero, con un profundo uso del silencio, un continúo zumbido, un acorde repetitivo, y golpes de batería esporádicos, todo ello llevado al extremo. Intenso, impresionante, maravilloso.

bazvotni es el nuevo proyecto nicolash (pier, bura...) donde utiliza cómo únicos elementos la batería y la voz. "vrums" es su primer cdr, en el que, en poco más de 11 minutos, nos encontramos con 10 temas, el más largo de menos de dos minutos, donde se suceden cortas dosis de ruido como elemento, ruido como expresión. Sin electrónica, apenas sin efectos, sólamente una batería, unos micrófonos y una voz que lucha por expresarse en medio de un sonido lo-fi. Una voz que esquiva la tonalidad pero que entona cánticos primitivos, la banda sonora de los pintores de Altamira. Primitivismo en el concepto y la ejecución, ¿cantos a la lluvia? ¿cantos a la muerte? El límite entre música tradicional africana y el lo-fi, la mezcla entre el noise y el freejazz hecho por tahitianos en trance, porque ante todo bazvotni es libre. Filigranas polirrítmicas camufladas en procesados semianalógicos. Y todo sin producir dolor, con la impresión de estar escuchando algo hermoso, algo honesto, con el corazón y sobre todo con el estómago... su corta duración tiene un motivo: este cdr no ha nacido para complacerte, sino para comulgar con él, para entrar a formar parte de él.
CD-R de 3", edición limitada de 50 copias numeradas a mano, con impresión a color, en cajas de cds.

bazvotni is the new project of nicolash (pier, bura...) in which he uses as only tools drums and voice. "vrums" is his first cdr, lasting 11 minutes in 10 tracks no longer than two minutes, where short shots of noise follow one another. Without electronics, hardly with effects, just drums, some mics and a voice that fights for express itself amidst a lo-fi sound. The voice avoids tonality but intones primitive chants, like a soundtrack for the Altamira's Caves painters. Primitivism in concept and execution, chants for rain? chants for death? The limit between african traditional music and lo-fi, a mixture of noise and free-jazz played by tahitians in trance, because primarily bazvotni is free. Polyrhythmic filigrees camouflaged in semianalogical processes. And everything without inflicting any pain, having the impression that you're listening to something beauty, honest, with the heart and the stomach... it's short duration has a reason: this cdr is not made for please, but to be in communion with it, to become part of it.

"Here's another offering from Madrid based For Noise's Sake, this time in the form of an eleven minute, ten track cruiser by a lad named Nicolash, who also plays in Pier. Stripping down his setup to only drums, mics and vocals, the thing is over before you get started, but it has a certain immediacy to it that's pretty hard to deny.
Talking about individual tracks feels a bit silly when the longest offering here is under two minutes and all of them are more or less constructed from the same material, but the whole romp has the kind of caveman, primitivist attitude and aesthetic of Foot Village or Black Pus, only with a tad looser, more cannibalistic, ballistic feel to it. All about total wreckage with this one, as wordless vocal utterances are huffed and puffed atop free rock/jazz drumming that glides between multi-angular African mishmash and complete numb-nuts brawl material. "Loueem Fv" might have a semblance of a beat for its minute, but its weirdly unconcerned in a kind of punk nihilist way that flies way beyond simplicity for simplicity's sake. Elsewhere the vocals are more central, as on "Neaneamem," where growls harken in clattering putters of cymbal tinkling and snare pulse while his hyper Jandek chants fuel a kind of sadomasochistic, hurts so bad it's good energy. Weird.
Like I said before though, the whole thing is eleven minutes long, and its brevity actually adds to the excitement--never stops moving at all. And the submerged, muffled production makes it sound even more like emissions from some deep cavernous wake, a small flame visible atop the bass drum. Surprisingly effective stuff"

Reseña de Animal Psi/Animal Psi Review

"Aupier represent the noise-rock genre on ‘No Is’ with pitch-perfect comportment of in-the-red static and manic composure, yet appeal outside of the genre’s faithful (in other words, to people like me) by virtue of the vital combination of discretion in composition – each instrument represents itself in resisting that oft-misguided “freedom” – and captured in high fidelity, bringing out all the color and depth to be found in this hedonistic style. Twelve tracks lumber on 34 minutes with a drinker’s stomach; drums pound out reasonable orders, guitars wheedle footpaths in a necessarily-thorny bramble, and the ever-growing vocal presence appears less trapped than liberated, enthusing the harmony of the collaboration with each successive step. Hand-numbered to 40 copies, available 5€ from For Noise’s Sake".13 jan. 2010

Third CD-R from this Madrid trio (after the two self-released "25 fragments" in 2006 and "slow food" in 2007), "the bree-fings vol. 1" 43 minutes are composed of 17 improvisations made out from briefings, that last no longer than 5 minutes. With guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, saxs, synths and tapes they reshape in a formidable way Noise-Rock, Free-Jazz, Punk, Hardcore... making of it a kind of disordered Free-Noise-Jazz-Punk, violent music for 20th Century... there's no more words to describe this CDR, just take a listen to it and ask yourself if it's all said in music.
Limited edition of 50 hand numbered copies, designed by Willyfunk, printed in color and packaged in plastic sleeves into ziplock bags, it comes with a t-shirt stencilled fragment.
