Francisco Meirino "Notebook (Techniques of Self-Destruction)" CD

"Notebook (Techniques of Self-Destruction)" is the new studio full length album from Francisco Meirino. Making his return on Misanthropic Agenda since critically acclaimed and criminally limited "Recordings Of Voltage Errors, Magnetic Fields, On-Site Testimonies & Tape Tension" LP.

Eight pieces of abrasive music made of electricity, mysterious forces, sharp knives, dying tape recorders and voices below the threshold of intelligibility.
Assembled and mastered by Francisco Meirino at Shiver Mobile, 2012-2014.
Features "Techniques Of Self-Destruction" originally a piece for eight speakers commissioned by Jerome Noetinger for l'Audible Festival, Paris 2012.

Born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in sound and live performance, he explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure by working mainly with the computer, magnetic fields detectors, reel-to-reel tape recorders, piezo transducers and various acoustic devices.

Francisco Meirino "You Know Nothing"

MENTAL SHAKE

Our tenth OTOROKU release sees a return to the group that kick-started the label - the veteran German reedsman and free jazz pioneer Peter Broetzmann with the long-running London bass/drums partnership of John Edwards and Steve Noble. After the release of '…The Worse The Better' that group went on to play a series of devastating shows in Europe and to emerge as one of Broetzmann's finest working groups. Over the same period Peter was developing a deep rapport with Jason Adasiewicz, the upstart vibraphone player from Chicago. What seems on paper like an awkward pairing reveals itself on stage and on record as a symbiotic revelation. Adasiewicz's physical attack matching Broetzmann for impact whilst the extended sustain of the vibes opens up an eerie space for some of Broetzmann's most fertile lyricism.

The recording is from the last set of a two-day residency at Cafe OTO that brought these two groups together for an astonishing quartet. Adasiewicz and Noble struck up an immense partnership in rhythm. Edwards wrestled with a broken house bass and failing amplifier and still managed new levels of invention - stoking the others onwards. Broetzmann was clearly energised - I swear I saw him dancing at the side of the stage whilst exchanging a shattered reed. And for all the usual rhetoric of Free Jazz bluster and machismo, this is a meeting characterised by the joy of communal creation that makes you want to dance - even if only in your head.

"Sounds hide within shadows, and what might be a discreet scrape on a cymbal could equally be an inconspicuously stroked guitar string. The musicians feed their material into the space, enough to be picked up by their feedback system, after which they ride their own sounds, penetrating inside the noise to throw its shapes." - Philip Clark, The Guardian

~~~

Utterly beguiling recording of two great improvisers at work in the Hara Museum, Tokyo in the winter of 2013. Drumset, percussion, guitar, amplifier - a simple set up that produces complex and extremely dynamic results, with immense swells of enveloping feedback, fragile cymbal scrapes that hover at the edge of audibility, ecstatic free-rock clatter and slyly resonant melodies.

Mixed and mastered by Rupert Clervaux at Gray’s Inn Road

Strange, intense and extreme lll人 is the trio of Daichi Yoshikawa, Paul Abbott and Seymour Wright. Together they have developed extraordinary sounds, and a complex, significant body of work since 2012. lll人 has no obvious comparisons. The tools are familiar, but the listening is not. lll人 processes are complex, spikey, but open growths of future sound, testing extremes  and perfectly reasonable. 

(continued:)

2. Still finding, twisting and hammering out an expanding musical universe balanced only by its own logics – lll人 have few obvious comparisons. Their performances are consistent radical negotiations of the emotional, physical and social energies of the environments they sound out.

Machine Woman - I Can Mend Your Broken Heart (Kassem Mosse Remix) [Where To Now?]

Under a new alias, Lobster Theremin don Jimmy Asquith treats all to a dose of needle-breaking sounds at a nosebleed bpm. Asquith's tendencies for variety and deep, diverse breadth of musical talent is what Lobster Theremin has become known for. Any time that isn't spent heading up the revered label, is spent fabricating music that shares the Lobster manifesto. Having consistently catapulted talent such as Palm Trax and Manse onto our hard drives, it seems only fitting that the label boss is now displaying his own ability to kill it in the musical laboratory.

Tom Hang's upcoming The New World EP sees the label boss weave a narrative of escapism and delirium, from which “In The Deep” stands king. Toeing the line between immersive deep pulses, organ rupturing modulations and teetering melodies, “In The Deep” tackles techno from a number of angles – keeping you hooked throughout.

"In The Deep" emerges on 2nd October via Where To Now.

Tom Hang "In The Deep" - Boiler Room Debuts

"Shipp’s manic repetitions, Butcher’s scalar blankets, and Lehn’s warm reverb remind the listener of certain eras of experimental improvisation and composition, but it isn’t the remembrance that contains the power, but the feeling that this is something fresh and new. It is a music that brings up new ideas and paradigms" - Nate Wooley (liner notes)
