Electret Quintet 5 Released today!
-


-
I hope you'll spend a little of what remains of this decade, and a lot of the new one with these sounds!  My major project of the last two years is now complete and released, with the fifth and final part of the Electret Quintet seeing release on the last day of the Zeroes!
-
For these five sets of five recordings each, I used a single analogue drumcomputer for all of the sounds.  Here's a track using only the Roland TR-606 from Electret Quintet 4:

Just released this week!
"Steam Inspector" by C. Reider

A lot of the stuff I do is really weird, but this one is just completely out there...

Steam Inspector is a long form sound-collage which centers on rhythmic elements, mechanical and otherwise.  It's the sound of machines malfunctioning as the steam inspector him/herself runs tests with peculiar electronic equipment.  Listen and make up your own story about what this piece of music is about.  

Released this week on the stupendous Just Not Normal netlabel!

I had a chance to meet the underground musician Gurdonark in person last weekend. Here's a photo of us hanging out at night in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado! - - Gurdonark, in case you've forgotten, was a contributor to the popular Vuzh Music ambient release by C. Reider and Friends Long Defeat Variations. - You should also check out his really great solo release "Seven Virtues", which I reviewed on my blog in January. - - Follow my official news on my blog: Vuzh Music Blog Or for something a little less formal, join me on Twitter: @VuzhMusic

Frans de Waard of Vital Weekly posts this review.  It's not the most descriptive review in the world, but you take what you can get! 

Again, you can find more about this release RIGHT HERE!!!



HANDS TO - ARTIMENT (2CDR by Impulsy Stetoskopu)
P.B.K./C. REIDER - DISCORPORATE (CDR by Impulsy Stetoskopu)
Polish label Impulsy Stetoskopu have carved out a niche of their own by releasing works that were originally released on cassette in the 80s, now presented on CDR, or, in the case of XX Comittee's LP on CD. The harsh noise of Knurl and Odal were left with Jliat, whereas these two noise boys (well three actually) are more spend on me. Behind Hands To is Jeph Jerman, who operates these days under his own name with some ultra soft music with natural objects and no amplification. Hands To may have used similar sound material, but back in the 80s when Jerman released an endless string of cassettes on his own Big Body Parts label, the small casio sampler was used to create crude loops of that. Also used were some sound effects, shortwave radio and straight field recordings. Its been a while since I last played any of the few Hands To cassettes I have but this set brings back many good memories. Like then, I am still quite pleased with this music. Its partly crude and raw, with a good
healthy doses of experiment, but the experiment doesn't stand in the way of the end result. Its not noise for the sake of noise, but Jerman tries to create small sound environments using elements from the environment, treated electronically. Like in a good 80s tradition, the listener is urged to play these separately or in tandem, and create their own mix. Definitely one of the more interesting re-issues lately (and sadly I missed out on the re-issue of City Of Worms, a group that Jerman was involved in, also on the same label). Nice handmade cover too.
By comparison the cover of PBK's collaboration with C. Reider is a bit more dull, a slimline DVD case. This collaboration was made over the course of ten years when PBK send sound material to C. Reider, but it was until earlier this year when things were finally completed, much to PBK's surprise. He calls this '21st century psychedelic drone space music', which I may not agree with, entirely. Yes, its sure psychedelic, drone based space music, but its not music that was 'invented' in this century. This kind of spacious, long form drone ambient with post industrial elements existed as easily in the 80s when the likes of PBK (and Hands To, although usually much shorter) released works on cassette, the forerunner of the do it yourself medium that CDR and MP3 are these days. Having said, there is nothing wrong with the actual music. Some of the processes applied to the sounds of PBK operate in the realms of digitalia, without being microsound. Everything is placed together and it makes a
thick, densely formed mass of sound, perhaps what PBK calls psychedelic. Not entirely 'new' music, but a fine, sturdy exercise in experimental sound. (FdW)

The first review is in for PBK / C. Reider - "Discorporate", and it's a good one!

Ten years (off and on) in the making, this 7-track, 46-minute collaboration between drone composer C. Reider and abstractionist PBK is a curious and immersive set of noisy, textured, alien soundscapes, with a very proto-industrial feel. Beginning with the befuddling, loopily surreal opener (we'll call it 'Track 1'), the album gels into a far-out set of abstracted sounds, textures, and sound collages. Track 4 is a densely-collaged mass of squelch and what sounds like manipulated and layered field recordings. Track 5 is more woozy, like waking up from a horrible anesthesia experience with your head spinning and throbbing. Track 7 wakes from the dream to a lilting, ambient journey at the beach, complete with what seems like distant waves and seagulls (or was I imagining that? Didn't hear it the second time through). It's a fitting conclusion to an otherwise disorienting journey, and a marvelous one, at that.

I am extremely pleased and proud to announce the release of the long-awaited collaboration between respected noiseambient composer PBK and C. Reider of Vuzh Music.
-

-

-
The release of this album is nearly ten years in the making, as sound sources have been exchanged over this long time between these two artists, finally culminating in a diverse and engaging set of industrial noise and ambient sound works, an incredible document of modern directions in abstract sound.
-
"Discorporate" (entry on Discogs) is now available on in an extremely limited edition of 120 from Impulsy Stetoskopu, (MySpace link which includes sound samples of the new release) an incredible Polish label who has released some outstanding noise from well-respected names in noise-music such as Hands To, Knurl, John Waterman, AMK and many others. 
-
I will have copies available very soon for anyone interested to own this rare CD here in the USA... PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT or email if you're interested and I will contact you when the album is available in the United States!

The third installment in my experimentation with analogue drum machines called "the Electret Quintet" is now available for your approval. I am happy about this release because the third release in this series of five is possibly my favorite.

Long, stretched out electronic bloops and thumps arranged in implausible patterns, occasionally settling into a heavy groove, and occasionally struggling to break OUT of a heavy groove, often the whole mess threatens to fly into total chaos.

It would please me if you would give this a listen: 





C. Reider - The Electret Quintet


The first three parts of this five part release are now available at the above link for free download in 192 kpbs and 320 kbps versions.  I recommend the latter for better bass response.

In this newest release, you will hear sounds culled from Roland's TR-606, TR-909 and TB-303. 

give it a listen if you please

The new track "March 14 o TB-303" at the top of the music player on my profile is a preview of Electret Quintet 3, which should hopefully be released later this month... you'll find it on this page when it is released... you can currently download the first two sets in the five part series completely free at the same page.
