"recordings from various places where i grew up and so on.
playing brings me to a sort of dreamland, which i keep exploring and landscaping, re-assessing and re-defining, more or less impulsively, more or less deliberately."

FOUND
"four of them are in the picture above. the first was found around the corner from where i live, the second was handed to me in the lower east side and has been mostly re-recorded in williamsburg's streets, the third was used to record the subway in milan, circa 1997, the last was found in my apartment when i moved in. people whom i know had lived here before us came from iran, portugal, switzerland and the u.s.a."

Elemiechen : Boswijck > Bushwick
Six corners collide on the GPS.
Got a fix on a fixie whizzing by...
Outside, hornblare of Syosset Trux.

Deep doppler anticipating the future
signal to noise ecology.

Landscape with erratics.
Brick, steel click echoes,
elevating off the JMZ.

Burnt solder, plastic brass.
Belly to bellow,
to hold in unison,
the trunks of the trees

JORDON SCHRANZ: cajas negras de las cruces

Jordon Schranz on mission, out from the Tigerasylum, running under desert skies to cross a continent and return to Brooklyn haunts.

With travels to tHE eASTERN sEABOARD on his mind,
Mr. Schranz artfully folds the body of a double bass
into a number of small black boxes.
With experience he evades random road blocks.
Outside the limits of Las Cruces, New Mexico,
a detour suggests itself around white sands, radium springs.
As the sun begins its rise, he reorients the far horizon.

The mountain range is not an illusion.
Quivers are loaded with the newly notched.
Swapping in and out of pinstripes, a camouflage of sorts,
he migrates east to walk solo alongside expanses of asphalt.
The dry air tracing back gold dusted trails near the dew line.

History and the water table shifts, a sudden rumble below our feet.
This seepage is inevitable despite attempts at civil engineering.
Currents shift crosslength to create patterns in the depths.
With guidance from the Black Saints, paths are revealed in the darkness.
Temporary rivers roll, extending their fingers
Sun baked brick bounces a question mark off steel glass towers.
Heatwaves carry a nOISE tRACK on the wind.
Travails to challenge the general dynamics of industrial reasoning.

Whence he crossed an arroyo, where once was parched,
a river now flows forth.
Copper canyons, echos of erosion
A raw wind, carrying the memory of rain.

RUST WORSHIP

Paul Haney from the extraordinary label Obsolete Units returns to home base Brooklyn after a romp at the Neon Marshmallow fest in Chicago.

Unleashing noise on the molecular level as Rust Worship, he performs blood music for broken machines, turntable and tape decks.

Eject that old TDK C-90 metal cassette from your deck and throw this in sans Dolby noise reduction and let the corrosion begin.

CORE OF THE COALMAN

Core of the Coalman aka Jorge Boehringer

Core of the Coalman consists of continuity and discontinuity for viola, voice and circuits on the border between order and chaos. Sonically diverse and sometimes explosive in texture, Core of the Coalman emphasizes the physicality of sound and its psychological relationship with our perceptual and environmental mechanics.

As Jorge envisions his multi-faceted approach:
"A compound eye may consist of thousands of individual photoreception units.
The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia (individual "eye units"), which are located on a convex surface, thus point in slightly different directions.  This results in a specific type of focus, in which multiple systems of polymathic pursuits are allowed to progress at their own rates, attaining, as such, a unified, rather than fractured, perceptive, though a perspective different from that enjoyed by our ancestors...human and otherwise."

While currently based in Prague, CZ, for the better part of the past decade Jorge was a vital part of the San Francisco Bay Area's fertile noise scene and counted among his collaborators members of
D Yellow Swans, Grouper, Marfa and Ne-Af, XBXRX, 16 Bitch Pile Up, Liz Albee, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, Miba, and the Grey Daturas.

Jorge is joined tonight by good friend Che Chen.

brownout : 2 X 3

Lights a-flicker and tracks a-shudder.

*** *** ***
brownout is self described by one Rick Brown as "a caveman with a tambourine and a sinewave generator."

A reinvention of songforms and chain reactions via repurposed electronics, solo vox and inserted hand/street percussion. Through these pared down songs we witness a strong challenge to the media production values of channel G100Z big bad band sound, inc.

Distressing NYC grid structures since V-Effect no wave days, Rick continues to snap switches and such under dim lights with forward thinking projects Rattle, Two Mule Team and Inconvenient Music.

G. LUCAS CRANE vs.NONHORSE

Cassette-jockey and noise auteur G. Lucas Crane unspools hidden sounds from analog-based archeologies. Winding down from touring and making noise at SXSW, his calloused fingers prove that man/machine evolution is an ongoing process.

Paul Haney from Obsolete Units returns with his bag of tricks, captures the four winds and initiates the worshippers of rust with rare earth magnets.
