Reseña/Review Vital Week #753 (Oct. 26, 2010)
Expensive Shit is a band from Austin, Texas and consists of five members and a guest musician. They do not practice and play anywhere they want. A previous jam-session was already released by Not for Fun. The session exists of lots of feedback sounds which are created by guitars and far away in the background you can hear some drums. After a while there is more variety in sounds and the beats became stronger. On this record a lot of guitar noise and if you like it - just go for it in this 19 minutes long session.- (JKH)

Otro nueva formación integrada por Isa Christ (Underground Idiot) y Nathaniel Brennan (que también toca en el alucinante Cruudeuces). Grabado en un día a finales de noviembre de 2009, con violín, guitarra, sintetizador, clarinete, bajo, tocadiscos preparado y micrófonos de contacto. Esto me suena como un Big Band dentro de un confesionario de una catedral tocando sierras eléctricas, gaviotas cabreadas, motores viejos gordos y monjas rezando el rosario bajo una tormenta. Dura menos que una misa (26 minutos), pero si los curas lo utilizaran como música de fondo, o incluso como una banda sonora, la Biblia sería mucho más divertida. Amén.

Recorded whithin a day late november 2009 with violin, guitar, synth, clarinet, bass, prepared turn table and contact mics. This sounds to me like a Big Band inside a confessional of a cathedral playing electric saws, angry seagulls, fat old engine motors and nuns saying one's rosary under a storm. It lasts less than a church service (26 minutes) but if pastors would use it as background music or even as a soundtrack, the Bible would be lots more fun. Amen.

Reseña/Review (Animal Psi, Feb. 2010)
A step further removed from the Naked City act of Au (itself a jazzier derivation of the Aupier dogpile), amplified brass duo Ahno Zwei submit ‘Stakr l’vond’ for Spanish label For Noise’s Sake. Hardly the solo biopsy of Greg Kelley, wherein the instrument is perversely dismantled and cataloged, this doubling of instruments in equally a squaring of the sonic dimensions, which sees these figurative blasts resonate and distort in trails of pollution. In actuality a lesser traveled means to Noise, the reverbed channels and throw-away melodies dialog a nice tension with the hard-wrought screams of feedback. This tension is exaggerated over the six tracks/20 minutes, where increasingly the instruments are separated from their effects through emergent harmonies. The status of the noise elements remain in limbo in the end, as the skronky image and staticky afterimage mostly realign in a wall of violent hyperventilation. Numbered to 40 copies, the labeled disc comes in an unusual, spiral-bound booklet with color insert and tab.

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.

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"

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.

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.

For those who don't know about australian xNoBBQx band, it's a good start letting know that they're music has been described as "militant vegan hardcore played by constipated monkeys", and linked to bands and artists like Harry Pussy, Henry Flynt, Mouthus and Xenakis, what it sounds like primitive free minimalist noise improv played, with just a guitar and drums, with a charming lo-fi sound. They have released a bunch of CDRs, cassettes and LPs, the most notable released by the legendary label Siltbreeze, getting wider knowledge. This CDR comprises two tracks lasting each one 17 minutes recorded live in Sydney during 2006. First track is a raw take on free noise improv, in which fits hardcore and punk aesthetics. Second track starts where the first finish, with a deep use of silent, a continous buzz, a repetitive chord, and sporadic drum hits, everythingo taken to the extreme. Intense, breathtaking, marvelous.

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.
3" CD-R, limited edition of 50 hand numbered copies, printed in color, in jewel cases.

"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"

No veo del cielo más que una estrella/Alrededor de nosotros sólo existe la leche describiendo su
elipse vertiginosa/De donde la blanda intuición de párpados de ágata ojerosa/Se levanta a veces para clavar la punta de su sombrilla en el fango de la luz eléctrica/Entonces unas extensiones echan el ancla se despliegan por el fondo de mi mirada cerrada/Icebergs que irradian los hábitos de los mundos venideros/Nacidos de una partícula de ti de una partícula desconocida y helada que emprende el vuelo/Tu existencia es el ramo gigante que se escapa de mis brazos/Mal atado abre los muros despliega las escaleras de las casas/Se deshoja en los escaparates de las calles/Con las noticias me voy continuamente con las noticias/El diario es ahora de cristal y si las cartas no llegan ya/Es porque el tren ha sido comido/La gran incisión de la esmeralda que dio origen al follaje/Está cicatrizada para siempre los aserraderos de nieve cegadora/Y las canteras de carne zumban solas con el primer destello/Invertido en este destello/Adquiero la huella de la vida y de la muerte/En el aire líquido (Extracto de "El Águila Sexual" de André Breton).

Of the sky I see but one star/Now around us there is only the milk describing its dizzy ellipsis/From wich sometimes soft intuition with pupils of eyed agate/Rises to poke its umbrella tip in the mud of the electric light/Then great reaches cast anchor stretch out in the depth of my closed eyes/Icebergs radiating the customs of all the worlds yet to come/Born of a fragment of you fragment unknown and iced on the wing/Your existence the giant bouquet escaping from my arms/Is badly tied it digs out walls unrolls the stairs of houses/Loses its leaves in the show windosw of the street/To gather the news I am always leaving to gather the news/The newspaper is glass today and if letters no longer arrive/It's that the train has been consumed/The great incision of the emerald wich gave birth to the foliage/Is scarred for always the sawdust of blinding snow/And the quarries of flesh are sounding alone on the first shelf/Reversed on this shelf/I take the impression of dead and life/To the liquid air (Excerpt from "The Sexual Eagle Exults" by André Breton).

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
