Jam session with Victoria J. and George P.

Song4

thumb piano sampled to OP-1 combined with field recording of 2021 fourth of july fireworks; processing sound on a make noise strega/0ctrl and an earthquaker afterneath.

I really got into the accelerometer control on the op-1 for this. Manipulating a sample's length with it felt very expressive and fun.

I don't know if this is harsh or not. I don't think it's very harsh, but I let the Afterneath feedback a bit in the middle.

Taken from "Trax Test excerpts from the modular network 1981-1987" 2LP/Download

'Trax Test’ is the first ever survey of Italy’s pioneering, visionary and influential label and mail art collectiveTrax, which ran from 1981 - 1987 as a network for the creation of collaborative projects. The collective included a pre-NWW Colin Potter and some of the earliest work from Masami Akita aka Merzbow, but also had deep connections with the art world; a few trax members went on to be be famous designers and artists -  Ettore Sottsass of hugely influential Memphis Group even guests on vocals on the last track of the compilation. The whole selection here is rare as heck and sorely in-demand by collectors, much of it now making its vinyl premiere some 30 odd years after the fact.

With credit due to compilers Vittore Baroni of Trax and Ecstatic’s avowed wave fiend, Alessio Natalizia (Not Waving) - who was also behind the Mutazione (Italian Electronic & New Wave Underground 1980-1988) - ‘Trax Test’ is a portal to the international scene which laid the grassroots for a proliferation of electronic music over the proceeding decades - a pioneering part of the infrastructure for independent music distribution which could be said to pre-echo the myriad social networks and platforms which exist for sharing music today.

As Frans De Waard astutely points out in the 16-page booklet, there were no ‘templates’ for this thing back then - as opposed to the forms of Soundcloud, Spotify or YouTube nowadays - meaning artists did everything DIY: from cutting, pasting and xeroxing their artwork to experimenting with recording techniques and disseminating their work; all resulting a wonderfully daring and freeform mosaic of ideas which valued the virtues of ostensibly ‘unfinished’ or open-ended work, when compared with more expensive, ‘proper’ studio output.

That’s not to say the music is a happy mess, it’s just that matters such as perfecting your mixdown or getting that hi-hat to sing just right weren’t a priority, whereas making and expressing something personal and non-mainstream were of upmost importance. These guys definitely didn’t have sync for TV and film in mind, or even dream of having their records available in shops. Rather they drew strength in their far-flung unity and counter-cultural resistance in a way that could still be learned from today.
