Zalhietzli 'Étreinte' CD
Zalhietzli is the experimental noise project of French artist, Jean-Baptiste Lévêque. This release is the first CD by the project and follows a recent string of excellent tapes on Satatuhatta, Narcolepsia, and Bent Window Records. Employing tapes, effects, microphones, junk metal and computer, Étreinte presents a set of meticulously executed harsh noise compositions incorporating a diverse range of styles, from skillfully manipulated junk metal recordings to blown-out ripping and fluttering textures (always on the verge of implosion/explosion).
Meilt 'Jasu Jest' CS
New collaboration between Dressing and Uoerhe. Mysterious murky tape music akin to Hands To, Yeast Culture, early Small Cruel Party, etc. Jasu Jest is their debut release and presents a seamless blend of styles and sounds from each, e.g. broken textural tape noise, magnetic wobble, faint buried melodies, fragments of distant voices and incidental sounds, and obscured domestic and field recordings. An incredibly accomplished first statement from what will hopefully be a long and fruitful collaboration.
Zheng Hao 'Breaks' CD
Debut solo CD by Wuhan-born, London-based artist, Zheng Hao, who also performs in the duos Oishi (with Ren Shang) and ecm (with Joseph Khan). Four lean and sinewy improvisations; the sound of tightly controlled buzzing and rippling electric currents, pointillistic splintering rhythms and textures, sparse jagged incursions, and wiry static blasts. In the artist's own words, Breaks explores
"rhythmic patterns from dusty potentiometers and dirty electronic circuits in modular synthesis improvisation". Possible signposts include Jake Meginsky, Voice Crack, etc. Maximal results with minimal means. Should appeal equally to EAI and noise nerds alike.
