Olivia Block, Seth Nehil & BusRatch - CD-R
PARA discEar Music
← backAn unlikely grouping of musicians, perhaps, but this disc is quite surprising. A great deal of near-silence, punctuated by the sounds of turntable dysfunction, needle pops, scratches, etc.These pieces slowly percolate, occasionally building to schizophrenic pandemonium. Here and there, one can almost lock into a rhythm, only to find it cruelly wrenched away and replaced with staggered static. Challenging and difficult to define, but worth delving into. Recorded by Olivia Block, Yasunobu Satoh and Bus Ratch at Club Metro in May 2000, then remixed
and edited by Block (tracks 2, 3, 4, 5) and Bus Ratch (track 1, 6, 7).
