'The Lonesome Death Of Sylvia Bumper' is a fuzzed-out instrumental waltz accompanied by cheezy sound effects of fire and crows (as was often done in 50’s lounge music)— Wisler’s guitar echoing above haunted-house organs, with a cinematic-Western, Ennio Morricone feel. Wisler calls it the saddest song on the album, and you can almost picture Sylvia Bumper dancing at the ruins of her burnt village, half crazy with sorrow. The band captured this tune on their very first take — laying down some otherworldly magic, like seeing a ghost before you flip on the lights.

'Karen Menad' presenta el sincero EP 'Elektric y Circle Room'. En medio del caos pandémico, Karen convirtió su espacio vital en un refugio de creatividad, dando a luz a este EP cargado de emociones, el cual viene acompañado de dos remezclas incandescentes, la primera a cargo de los artistas residentes 'Ledi Cannit & Veltran' y la segunda versión creada por el electrizante dúo brasileño 'Classic Dellas'.

Elaborados dentro de las paredes de su estudio casero, 'Circle Room' y 'Elektric' sirven como reflejos sonoros del estado mental de la artista durante el vaivén del confinamiento. 'Circle Room', concebido al inicio de las restricciones, y 'Elektric', emergiendo mientras los ecos del encierro persistían, encapsulan los sentimientos de la artista de sentirse 'loca y confundida'. Una expresión cruda y personal.

Menad meticulosamente curó su sonido en su estudio casero, mezclando los palpables ritmos de la TR8 de Roland con las melódicas percusiones del Crave de Behringer y una variedad de plugins. El énfasis deliberado en la percusión y la batería en este EP se convierte en una firma sonora, destacándose en un paisaje musical abarrotado.

Reflexionando sobre la recepción de estos temas, Karen Menad expresó satisfacción con la efusiva respuesta durante una exhibición de verano en Sicilia. La música resonó con el público, fomentando el baile espontáneo y una atmósfera contagiosa. La recepción positiva afirmó la creencia de la artista de haber encontrado su auténtico camino musical. Para seguir navegando por el paisaje sonoro en evolución de su arte, 'Elektric y Circle Room' se erige como un testimonio de resiliencia, creatividad y el poder de la música para trascender tiempos difíciles.

'Karen Menad' unveils the heartfelt EP 'Elektric and Circle Room.' In the depths of the pandemic chaos, Karen turned their living space into a haven of creativity, giving birth to the emotionally charged EP, which comes accompanied by two incandesced remixes, the first by the in-house artists 'Ledi Cannit & Veltran' and the second version made by the electrifying Brazilian duo 'Classic Dellas.'

Crafted within the walls of her home studio, 'Circle Room' and 'Elektric' serve as sonic reflections of the artist's mental state during the lockdown's ebb and flow. 'Circle Room,' conceived at the outset of the restrictions, and 'Elektric,' emerging as the lockdown's echoes lingered, encapsulate the artist's feelings of being 'crazy and confused.' A raw and personal expression.

Menad meticulously curated her sound in a home studio, blending the tangible beats of Roland's TR8 with the rhythmic melodies of Beringher's Crave and an array of plugins. The deliberate emphasis on drums and percussion in this EP becomes a sonic signature, setting it apart in a crowded musical landscape.

Reflecting on the reception of these tracks, Karen Menad expressed satisfaction with the lively response during a summer showcase in Sicily. The music resonated with the audience, fostering spontaneous dancing and a contagious atmosphere. The positive reception affirmed the artist's belief that they have found their authentic musical path. To continue navigating the evolving soundscape of her artistry, ‘Elektric and Circle Room’ stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of music to transcend challenging times.

Letter from Capt. Albert J. Barnard, Co. B, 116th NYI. 

https://sparedcreative21.art.blog/archives/albert-j-barnard-16-march-1863/

Prior to the Battle for Port Hudson, La. near Baton Rouge, "Allie" Barnard describes the disorganized fighting supporting Commodore (later Admiral) Farragut's fleet as it 'ran the guns' upriver, with the U.S.S. Mississippi running aground. Scuttled, the 24 tons of gunpowder in its hull exploded, creating a sonic wave heard 20 miles away, as graphically described by Capt. Barnard. Also described are interesting foraging details regarding accommodations, victuals, and sleeping with pigs.
