“anthems for unsuccessful winners”
following on his duo disc with kiko c. esseiva from 2009 (see post here), echomusic releases merino’s solo disc. described as a work that finds beauty in “recording what is not supposed to be : gear failures, death of a PA system, electro-static noise”. building something out of nothing, using the wonders of digital technology for maximum exposure.
three new cdr editions from echomusic, this has started to look like a very prolific year for some labels around here. this batch contains a small-run reissue of a recording by al margolis’ ‘if, bwana‘ project, that according to the info at hand involves some serious composition (106.476 clarinets manipulated in order to compose one static, rumbly, dark and deep track? damn…) next there is a disc of electroacoustic music by francisco meirino & kiko c. esseiva, i’ve been wanting to check out esseiva’s work for some time now and this disc (and a solo one pretty soon i’ve heard), makes it so much easier. last but not least is one by nokalypse, aka themistoklis pantelopoulos, aka the buzz of the town in athens in the areas close to drone-noisy-computer music. rumour has it that he kicked ass in a support slot for tim hecker a week ago, but since i wasn’t in athens to witness this, i’ll make do with the cdr.
keep ‘em coming
