A drastic left turn from NM label head Simon J Karis, following some notable 2024 output. The manic jubilance of both last year’s ‘THRASH’ (his collaborative effort with UK experimental/club royalty Actress) and his hugely evocative, slightly foolish solo full length ‘So Little Sorrow’ (accompanied by a book of 50 watercolour paintings by legendary ambient musician and visual artist Andrew Chalk) commanded new ears and scratched heads further across the globe than Karis had enjoyed prior.

So with that, he flings us the first documentation of his ongoing live performance project ‘Smashed Platitudes’, a rough-hewn collage of recordings on stages and in hotel rooms across Australia - a constant work in progress, auditing itself in real time in front of intimate audiences. Karis’ creative process in these takes is indeed a collage approach in itself; a fractured and intuitive rearranging of concrète recordings captured in travelogue, some particularly jagged synthesis and lashings of noise interruptions to break up this constant jawing;

Because most notably, Karis’ voice is the constant thread throughout; we hear him speaking clearly and closely, sometimes wilfully obscured and surprisingly, often singing. His words are chosen immediately before us in the workspaces we’re let into, through automatic writing, both as pen on paper and incanted into the air. Though in moments where he finds himself nudging the diaristic, devout crypticism will slither in to wash our attention over into the next movement. Reflected in the information overload of the track titles, Karis wants audiences to suspend the idea of needing to understand what they’re witnessing whilst presented with a great deal of description, urging them to instead simply cherish whatever non-literal profundity might come to heart by the end of the affair. It’s in this sense that he is attempting to join the audience, leaving the performance as much to his subconscious as is possible - by then auditing what comes out, a sort of open air feedback loop is created, fuelling its auto-cognition.

Keen ears will hear brief live renderings of material from ‘So Little Sorrow’ encrusted in the final throes of ‘Smashed Platitudes’, blasted into the red as confrontational noise tantrums. It’s a means of highlighting the dramedy which Karis goes to pained lengths to express in all his output to date, disparate though it may look whilst juxtaposed with his previous work over the last 5 years; the acid techno malfunctioning of ‘THRASH’, the assured synth melodrama of ‘So Little Sorrow’ and 'Piovve' and the stoned warblings of ‘Cassowary Paint’.

Étude concrète n°2 [2025-09-10]

Another early track from 2018, made while still searching for our own sound between glitch and dub.

Play Your Part

My take on this was to use glitches or extraneous sounds that crop up in field recordings. These are usually edited out but here I extracted some from a couple of recordings and joined them to form a continuous sequence. After extending this sequence and adding a touch of reverb and delay I combined it with an evolving electronic drone.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
