Amulet of Tears @ Radio Vilnius #1 / April 6th, 2024 w/Teatre

February's episode of The Slug Farm. This month I was very gassed to have a killer guest mix from @bladeblanc (out of Bergamo, Italy) take over the full hour of the show. Expect an hour long trip cycling through mutant bass, experimental club, drum n bass & more. 

Bladeblanc is fresh off the back of a wicked EP released on ESKA titled 'Unstable Terrain'. If you haven't already, run that up cos it's dope as hell. 

Lots of love to Bladeblanc for putting together a sick show and love to Dave for linking us up and ofc to @noushy__g (insta) for slaying the artwork <3

Archetype - The Ick
Vinyl/Streaming/Digital
- 27.03.24 -

The Ick — a sense of sanity amidst the storm of information. This album by Archetype is an abstract scream for something quite fragile — a polarizing society, disruptive isolation, and the fading collective experience. Utilizing dramatic vocals, industrial trip-hop, and post-punk-leaning electronics, Archetype marks the new moniker by the ever-versatile Viennese Rotterdammer, Leonard Prochazka. Following his manifold of concept-driven, instinctive musical output, Archetype's "The Ick" releases in 2024, following "Strapazen und Genesung" as Geier Aus Stahl on Knekelhuis in 2022.

Archetype - I See Numbers

Directions Out Of Town is the latest and teased as (possibly) the last LP by DIY electronic abstract pop wizard Finlay Shakespeare.

Directions Out Of Town is a fierce mix of headstrong pop bangers. Fact. There is simply no one else traversing the field that Shakespeare is exploring. It can be lonely in the desert, Simon says. Lyrically, Directions Out Of Town is dealing with loss; personally, geographically, politically, culturally - a general decay of everything.

This new record is heavily inspired by structural film where the results unravel a method where metaphor is removed from the act of sound synthesis, production and mix of the tracks. Fiercely independent and brimming with integrity this is a deeply effective journey through machines of the human experience.

The track titles are telling: ‘Away’, ‘Get’, ‘Direction’, ‘I go for a walk’, etc. This is sentiment via complex synthesis wrung through patterns of pop. One also finds ways out that only turn out to be false/untrue. “I essentially don’t know where I belong any more. This record is the precursor to that.”

What is ostensibly an electro pop record reveals a multitude of layers and depth as one man and his machines wrestle with the reality of this tangled matrix. If the charts had brains this would be album of the year.

Finlay Shakespeare is an electronic musician working in the UK. His fascination for synthesized sound was born out of his parents’ record collection, leading him to explore the electronic music of decades past throughout his teenage years. While starting to write and record his own tracks, he also began learning analogue electronics, which led him to design and build his own equipment. To date, he has released work on Editions Mego, Superpang, and his own GOTO Records.

Noods Radio #15 - crying is softer than you think - caapi (26/05/2024)

Recorded by Mike Figgis in Terry’s attic at Lyonsdown Manor House, London 1969.

This session is one of the few times Figgis and Day played as a duo. Personnel of the CME & PB regularly played on TD’s drums during gigs & “jams” - Mike particularly had a ‘jazzy’ feel. They were, with others, co-founders of the Continuous Music Ensemble and People Band, whilst also plus collaborating in other configurations. 

Mixed and Mastered by Mike Figgis. 

Artwork Terry Day (2018)

TDA001 "Duets 69" [sample]

"Working with the Komungo playing of Eunjung Kim allowed me to be free of percussive concepts that I employ & thus enter a world of abstraction on the drum kit & open space in the music. This studio recording is the only time we have played together, other than an initial get together at my house where only a few tambourines were percussed upon. Other than working with the Shakuhachi playing of Clive Bell, this was my first experience of collaborating with a non-western instrument." - Terry Day

Recorded at London School of Sound.

TDA002 - Eunjung Kim & Terry Day [sample]

"Throughout my ‘Free Jazz’ period of drumming the sound of the Sizzle Cymbal provided the  texture, pulse & ‘time-free’ nature of the music. The purring voice on track 17 hints at the ‘SIZZLE ‘ sound of a sizzle cymbal.
 
Track 7 leads into a dedication to ‘VINCENT’ van Gogh whose life was plagued by loneliness & inner turmoil , & whose Art & Life have been with me since I was 14 years old.
 
Track 1 could be my very first actual drum solo; albeit not on my own kit, & therefore the solo is an exploration of an unknown kit being played for the first time.
 
As with many of my solo recordings, some are intended to be over-dubbed by either myself or other musicians as they see possible." - Terry Day

TDA003 "Cello Solo - Home Recording Circa 1977 - 78"

John Edwards and Terry Day's third outing as a duo based on the vocalizing of Terry Day’s lyrics with just bass accompaniment. On a number of tracks the lyrics flow one after another without a pause between. The first occasion was recorded by Tim Fletcher at Foyles was lost, then found in John Russell’s archives, & now found again by Tim. The second was at Cafe OTO.

"During this period it was the act of improvising that was focused upon rather than seeking to be melodic or compositional, as such the rhythmical aspect of playing the piano tends to dominate." - Terry Day

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
