Jim Strong, The Sallow Rakes (VT33)

"Vitrine is thrilled to announce a new cassette from Pennsylvania-based visual artist and instrument builder, Jim Strong. The Sallow Rakes runs a triathlon down the middle and back again through Strong’s varied repertoire, which encompasses broken electronics, free improvisation, crank-based mechanisms and sound poetry. His work marries dance and video with homespun artifacts of painting and hand-built machinery. The Sallow Rakes suggests the most curious reaches of mail art and sound poetry, reminding the listener of under appreciated acts of the Underwhich Audiographics family such as DUCT and Tekst. Vitrine alumni Mel Bentley provides text and voice as counterpoint to Strong’s amorphous instrumentation and spoken word. Rubber burns on a pyre of wet oak. Breath bleeds into the more discreet sounds of the body. Jim Strong has made a name for himself privileging the collaborative and intuitive serendipity of performance. That said, The Sallow Rakes is an inclusive marvel which yet speaks of a focused and individual personality. The protein mirror. Bob Cobbing’s work in Konkrete Canticle is a possible road marker, but that doesn’t quite get the adventurous traveler all the way there. This is an invented compass, pointing to a True North beyond the axises. Here, an interior mystery play of device. Limited to 100 copies. Available November 2016. Sold out at source."

Melkings: Outten O.D. 'ed Excerpt The Gift of Music 2017

Melkings - Movement Musik (Regional Bears) excerpt


We're back! More Melk! In case you missed last round, Melkings is the core duo of Jim Strong and Thomas DeAngelo, aided by various solicited contributions. 'Movement Musik' is the follow up to the two 'Outten...' tapes on The Gift of Music, completing a sort of self-contained trilogy (of which Association Copy's 'Schlager' could be considered a semi-related prequel). All three tapes present a distinct realization of similar sources/set up, and can be enjoyed on their own, or in sequence. With that out of the way, what does 'Movement Musik' sound like? It was compiled from the same sessions as 'Outten Inside', however, while the primary concern remains belabored rehash within different contexts, the progression here is to literal motion, as the Strong Estate in Narberth, PA is probed, prodded, and milked with all the dexterity of a bemused child. In comparison to the two prior tapes there is something approaching 'patience' on display, with an intermittent, hovering dread redolent of such heady classics as Hastings of Malawi, East Bionic Symphonia or the Curfew Recordings. Eventually, our journey circles around, as it must, as a dog chasing its own tail. Crucially, this music can be enjoyed solely on sensual character, without any speculation of intent or analysis, as in a dog licking its own arsehole. 

Distros: momentumless identity, tedium house, moremars, good press, Penultimate press, Swill Radio, Careful Catalog and low company records + Tom and I will have copies shortly
