COSMIC PULSES first recording comes out in late 2015.

This is the research  and results through the works of artists as Steve Reich, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Kluster, Kraftwerk, Doppleleffekt, AFX, ATOM, Craig Leon, Collin Porter, K. Lemer plus other composers and producers related to this music. The music that its not shy and/or not relay on any kind of musical trendy. This is the music that come from inside brainy minds as well as an accident.


"Letting machines take the lead has always been my default setting so, as the machines change so do certain aspects of my approach. In the end though, the work remains very reliant on chance, on accident, on quantity yielding quality. There’s an impulse to remove myself from the process too, though this is most likely a self-deluding affectation. And there’s a lingering frustration with computer-based technology since much of it seems absolutely obsessed with facilitating the most typical approaches to generating music..." K. Leimer

MoreBLackThenGod - The True Believers / LIVE NOISE RITUALS(Hortus Conclusus Records 2016)

Between his "MoreBlackThenGod" project and his long-running careers in his own name, Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt has become a dazzling guiding star for the universe of experimental music in its more classy and inspiring way of shaping the sand of sound into charming castles of symphonic noise and meaningful scores of poetry.  While noise is abundant with artists whose work could be described as both personal and horrific, Sean has consistently pushed the definitions of both terms to unsettling conclusions.  His sonic milky way is rife with monologues, poems, meditations and disorienting fugues of frantic rhythms that seem to pull directly from the artist’s dreams.  As far as this new enchanting album the title itself "True Believers - Live Noise Rituals" suggests, like a hypnagogic filter, the ritual character of each composition resulting in a noisy embrace that is as unusually uplifting as it is upsetting. The over-the-top imagery conjured through blistering glitches and spoken word is often vague and puzzling, yet disturbingly familiar to anyone who has ever had a really bad - or really good - nightmare.

MoreBlackThenGod - Love Wins

track taken from the album:
Richard Ramirez & MoreBlackThenGod - You can carve your name on my face because at the end of the day it is only you I think about (2016)

The virtual "A" side of this split is comprised of a single track, “Tongue Depravity”, from the great and well known artist Richard Ramirez. The track opens with numerous gusts of classy noise layered over one another, creating an acroamatic fluxion of duality and resounding detonative landscapes. The poetic chaos morphs slowly while the whole track blends in and out of itself until, slowly, it positively degenerates into a no-fi noisy visionary volcano. Mr. Ramirez has carved out a wee concept and asks the listener to move to the music, not in a physical sense but a virtually thought-provoking one by sequencing the thoughts and wishes with or without the help of hallucinations.

MoreBlackThenGod, the musical project bloomed from the charming talent of the artist Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt, take over on the virtual “B” side, which is made up of two pieces heterogeneous enough to present the view of two distant planets yet combined in a perfect cosmic embrace. "Half a century” is a long and varied piece, willfully eccentric and thinned out vestibule to the technicolor world of Sean, letting the listener guess clearly if the name is a caress of philosophical context or, how it intends to be, a reference to the birth of the artist who celebrates this day, simultaneously with the publication of the album, his birthday as well!! In a sense we are in front of a backwards celebration in which the partied honors each guest with his irrational gift. The 3rd track “You can carve your name on my face.......” takes a series of pulsed oscillations and leads them headfirst into chaotic noise manipulation, adamantly minimalistic like a tandem with helixes of hedonism, paradoxically vivacious yet hued in a deep darkness. While interesting, this is a much more shorter and direct piece, with a great sonnic charm and a fascinating stream of choral recitative, but without the dramatic intensity of the former.

All in all, this is an obscure but solid split that pairs two fairly dissimilar styles via their shared fidelity. Despite the two styles that define this release, Richard Ramirez and MoreBlackThenGod are paired well and this release is definitely one that I am glad to have had the opportunity to promote and listen to.

ARTIST INFO:

Accidental Guitar

*The Aesthetic of Failure*

Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt (Chicago, Berlin) also releases as (*MoreBlackThenGod***Drone Messiah***The S&M Trio) - Founder & Artistic Director at Hortus Conclusus Records, Friends of Sagittarius Records and Galerie S&M. The improviser composer employs his signature “accidental guitar” method on music of haunting, sonically jarring loops. At times cavernous and resonant as a cathedral, his recordings explore the depths of the drone, exploiting glitches and mutating overtones into chorus-like swells, mechanical revolutions and washes of beaded static. These meditations upon cyclical time and the ubiquity of the elements seek to elevate our natural world to pure and infinite tonality, soaring above us like mass aural hallucinations.

Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt continues to blur the line between improvisation and composition, using chance as the foundation of loops and drones that fill space and seemingly expand time.

This artist has over 500 album, splits, and compilation releases.
