Monorail 5/17: Torba, Gene Pick

[oppositional]

now available:



[mt112cs] Torba - Laavg Drjòt c-20/DL
Torba is Mauro Diciocia, an Italian soundworker based in Berlin. As with fellow countrymen Lettera 22, elements of musique concrete, noise composition and electro-acoustic tape music are fused to create something which feels like a truly living, breathing organism of physical and intellectual sound, constantly active and engaging.
Edition of 100, with artwork by Luca Vinciguerra (A Dear Girl Called Wendy).

[mt113cs] Gene Pick - Adhesion Coefficient c-31/DL
The sound of electronic circuits pushed to the brink and gasping for life. All systems at capacity. Patterns of white noise, mixer feedback, fuzz and sine waves blast in, hover and return in a new context, creating palpable anxiety and tension throughout. Contrarian modular synthesis; actually using the instrument for a strict, specific purpose.
Edition of 100, with full color photography by Autumn Casey.

still fresh:



[mt110cs] Slow Tongued Beauty - Sopportare c-28/DL
Sopportare translates into english as 'to bear' — and it is a dark journey through aggressive electronic synthesis transitioning from calmer passages of modular minimalism, to arrhythmic industrial jackhammer brutality, noise cut-ups and harrowing, dramatic sound design, each with razor-sharp precision. Slow Tongued Beauty is the project of Ryan Scott Kerr, based in Philadelphia.
Edition of 100 copies, with artwork by Catherine Mulligan.

[mt111cs] Hostage Pageant - Extinguisher c-20/DL
Breakneck noise suffocation from Shane Church, taking the project back to it's inception with two short, sharp shocks of fire and smoke that maintain the rawness and fluidity of live dynamics; no breaks, no breathing room, no subtlety.
Edition of 100 copies, with artwork by Shane Church + JB.
