  1. I listened to this one and some of his others during the period where I was microdosing mushrooms every day!
  2. Seems to be arguable. John Whitney of Brainwashed was the only person given the blessing to release Coil material by Sleazy before he died, and he did that with Threshold Archives, however, surviving contributors do have master files, and if the money is going to the right places, I think Sleazy wanted to put it all on a website for everyone to download as they please anyway...
  3. JLIAT is the project of one James Whitehead, who has been active since he first attended an electronic music workshop at Falmouth School of Art in the 1970s.Throughout the 80s and 90s, Whitehead created mainly drone pieces, some of which are considered "master works" of the genre.While he later spent plenty of time making noise music-- sometimes with a somewhat antagonistic approach to conceptual art, and he has even lectured on noise music in an academic setting, Whitehead did return to making longform drone for a spell in the 2010s.Now featured on NO PART OF IT as a digital release ("name your price"), is an unreleased piece from 2016 titled "January Evening". https://nopartofit.bandcamp.com/album/january-evening

  5. Leslie Keffer began in the early 2000s, making layered noise music with mostly radios and vocals, without initially knowing of a surrounding scene for this type of expression. From there, she toured incessantly as a solo artist and as a member of Laundry Room Squelchers or Indian Jewelry. Keffer also collaborated with a number of artists, including Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Rodger Stella, Sharkiface, and several others. Near the dawn of the 2010s, electronic percussion began to slowly impress itself upon part of Keffer’s set-up as part of her evolution, until an injury caused her epilepsy to worsen, leaving her unable to tour, and keeping her away from creative outlets, for the most part, until her resurgence in 2022. At that time, she re-emerged with an involvement in around sixteen releases for the year 2022 alone; Much of it more conventional, beat-driven music, with some video work, and occasionally more accessible vocal presentations than what had been largely buried under radio signals before. Perceive and Aethereal (no part of it) built upon Keffer’s loose electronic instrumentation that was set into motion on Temple (Chocolate Monk) which itself was a departure from her 2 disc set Human Inosculation (Weatnu), comprised of mostly beat-driven work. In addition to further proving her ability as an experimental artist on Perceive and Aethereal (“sibling albums”, she calls them), Keffer has developed a unique brand from elements of electronic, psychedelic, new age ambient music, with more structurally sound methods of execution. That newfound talent for vocal melodies and delivery saw her featured in The Wire Magazine’s 2022 REWIND issue, among a myriad of other glowing reviews throughout the year. Now poised for 2023, with a much less active release schedule, Veiled Matter is the result of ongoing trance work, where a connection has been established and a story is to be told. For Keffer, this full-length is groundbreaking for her as a bonafide musician and vocalist, as she integrates Arabic scales and more ambitious phrasing than ever before. When it finds its audience, Veiled Matter will surely be regarded as a legendary home recording that eclipsed the limited resources used to create it. From a recent interview with Leslie Keffer: "I just finished a new album that will be out this year on NO PART OF IT called “Veiled Matter”. Its a story of transcendence. It begins in meditation and as I get deeper and deeper in I move into another realm where everything is silicified. The trees are made of opalized stone and are brilliant, bioluminescent colors. I meet a being once I am there who shrouds herself from us on our plane in minerals and crystals but once I am in her realm I can see her in her royal blue veil as she leads me through the petrified forest. She teaches me about energy and how to manipulate it and uses it to heal myself and others. She teaches me how to feel it in the rocks, minerals, and plants that surround me. She speaks in energetic code."
  6. Yep, I was 19 and mainly into punk at the time, a friend played Scatalogy for me, and once Ubu Noir hit, I was converted, changed the whole course of my tastes... and then Foetus followed...
  7. https://nopartofit.bandcamp.com/track/deadbeat-deluxe Originally released in 2010 on cassette and pro-CDR, then reissued as part of a "remix DVD" called "333REDUX", now finally available as a glass-mastered CD on 07/07/2023. Some select quotes about "333": "...this recording feels like it had to be made, and it transcends its limited equipment resources as if the music couldn't be stopped..." "....Arvo Zylo's work is often the product of literal years of toil, the potent result of countless hours refining, perfecting, and focusing wild energies. Projects like his "333" and "Assembly" feel more like they've been finished in a metal refinery than a mastering house, their labyrinthine vertical layers chosen and fixed in place with firm force." Scott Scholz/Tymbal Tapes/Words on Sound/KZUM's "Other Music Radio Show" "First, I was really focused on the intensely constructed sequenced structure - then, today, I was struck by the more organic components that seem to grow around the more rigid parts. It is an intense listen, for sure. " Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy of Habit, Intrinsic Action) "A technicolor nightmare..." "...A cyber punk thrill ride" "...totally assaulting music without actually relinquishing the conventional rules of what music should be." Drew Dahle/Auxiliary Out
  8. I don't know if anyone else is snoozing on this one. I'd be very surprised if there were more than one interview in this book that I haven't read already. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1913689433/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
  9. https://dendritetapes.bandcamp.com/track/death-bus Esruk is London based Ben Wilkin who was a pioneer of the experimental Noise scene in London and Vancouver in the late '80s Originally released in 1998 on the Katakombe 7 cassette only compilation on Norwegian experimental noise label Yecch Tapes..

  12. For 2023, and for the 40th year of Illusion of Safety's existence, the project's progenitor Daniel Burke invited Arvo Zylo to work with him in putting together a new release. This entailed going through several hours of audio and deciding whether or not it could be useful, either as source material or finished product, but also included certain "treatments" from Zylo, in the process of deciding what was finalized. Burke says: "I worked diligently with Arvo compiling and mixing the best material available, distilling the modes and methods I've been using for some years: field recordings, electronics, electro-acoustic, and synthesis. Some of the raw materials are my first recordings with the Eurorack modular synthesizer dating back to 2010, and were used in the collaboration with Shen Wei Dance Arts for our performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC on 6-6-11."
  13. It's hard to believe that this is the first full-length release by Sharkiface, the solo project of Angela Edwards, whose trail of achievements and accolades began in the 90s, in Austin, Texas. Starting with her experience booking and doing tour management for Daniel Johnston, she then moved to the Bay Area and quickly became an important staple, collaborating with local exploding psychedelic stalwarts Hans Grüsel's Krankenkabinet, Tarantism, and (rumor has it), Caroliner Rainbow, among many others. Sharkiface has toured the United States steadily, with some stints in Europe and Japan, and has been featured at fests such as San Francisco Electronic Music Fest, No Fun Fest, Colour Out of Space, and Ende Tymes, to name a few. Despite having done splits or collaborations with familiar names like Rodger Stella, Leslie Keffer, or Fletcher Pratt, and running a venue called Life-Changing Ministries, this is still her first truly solo outing as a recording artist. For "Climax In A Process", Sharkiface brings out career-spanning material, but also newer tracks, freshly inspired by her experience achieving an MFA in Electronic Music at Mills College, where she studied under "expert noodle wranglers" such as: Zena Parkins, Laetitia Sonami, John Bischoff, Chris Brown, Tomeka Reid, James Fei and Kala Ramnaf. Although Edwards' actual process remains somewhat mysterious, it is readily evident that voice is a main impetus for her work, which is, at times, processed through various extremely rare electronic instruments, tape delays, samplers, and other custom devices. It is because of her lengthy experience using voice with this set up that she has been called a "static witch", and on "Climax In A Process" she says she explores not only the metaphorical values of a full moon, but also the loss of loved ones. In one case, for example, she can be found using the numerical value of a birthdate to create arrangements, altogether developing a narrative either sonically, symbolically, or spiritually, the themes of "memories, shadow work, incantations, processing trauma and redemption".

  16. Thanks! Will investigate... Current listening: https://womentakebackthenoise.bandcamp.com/track/sijo This track is particularly wicked, and I don't know how to embed individual tracks, but it's a 3CD of women artists doing drone...
  17. Ooh, I am really psyched about this thread... No time now, but I might recommend www.radiooooo.com for old songs outside of youtube...
