Another freebie for your delectation. This one is a set of electronic improvisations called 'The Ants Are Eating My Head' by a very short lived trio I was part of called Jebus. We recorded 5 songs. Four of them are here and the fifth appeared on a compilation album (that I'll be posting later). I hope you enjoy.
This one was the first of two compilations that I released on ECR (Quiet World as was).
It features me in four different guises (as PSI & Ulysses Girelle, as half of Swn & a third of Jebus) plus several other people making some nice noises.
It's a pretty mixed bag of sounds hopefully you'll find something to tickle your fancy.
I put this on the Kemper Norton blog and facebook.....Whitechapel folk kindly let me use recordings before so I thought you wouldn't mind. x
Be a part of the Kemper Norton album !
It is said that if you run seven times round Chanctonbury Ring you will summon the Devil.
Anyone who sends us a recording of themselves reciting the numbers one to seven inclusive is guaranteed to be heard on the upcoming Kemper Norton album , due for completion this year. ( note : Whitechapellers may get priority , but don't tell anyone)
The recording of the numbers can be in whatever order,style, location, language and quality you like….
If your contribution is digital (mp3 , WAV and whatnot ) the file or a relevant link should be sent to kempernorton@gmail.com
If you have managed to create an analogue recording ( tape , 4-track ,you know , real things ) this can be sent to our Cornish office. Send us an email if that’s the case ( kempernorton@gmail.com again) for the address.
It's freebie time again. this was the second compilation I released through ECR and features a wider selection of bands including Kiss My Farkyn, Les 7 Mondes, Ghoul Detail, Buff Monkey & a couple of my own projects. hope you dig it.
My new group, ALEJANDRO AND THE FAME, is Boston's premiere all-male Lady Gaga cover band. We're playing tonight at PA's lounge in Somerville, MA. Here's some tunes:
I wasn't really sure where to share this, and I desperately wanted the Whitechapel folk to hear it:
I'm working on some new songs... long story short, I've found that an amazing way to turn an electric guitar into a Drone-Machine is with a bullet-style vibrator. Yep, for real. I had been tinkering (more like struggling) with an electric pencil sharpener motor, trying to slow the speed down and create a device where it would continuously vibrate the strings (w/ a slide in the other hand); my girl saw me doing this, and she goes: "Do you just want a vibrator? I never use them anymore..."
@sonny some of my favourite music is made unconventionally, re: Tom Waits. Also check out this, about about 2:25 is gets really interesting, Phil Keaggy records as he is going and has loop play back to create a band.
New for your head! I made a remix of Matthew Dear's "Deserter". Chopped and techno-ed it together out of only parts of the original song, just editing and effects. Nothing new added.
Dimension Machine: Electro-zar/Psych Phunk coming to you from Cairo, Egypt....
(NOTE: Zar is the north/east african possession/trance cult with it's own musical tradition for calling down spirits... similar to Vodoun in Haiti or Umbanda in Brazil)
New album, coming out soon on Ninewhilenine's new label AURAL SECTS. Here's a promo vid for one of the 8 tracks... Mitosis as mechanical reproduction simile....
EDIT: And here's the album, get it for free, and if you like please share!
Check out more tracks by spf50, I AM WATER and zXz at the label's homepage:
NOTE TO ALL: Seems that my number of reliable venue contacts in the Helsinki region has just doubled (yes, from 1 to 2), so if any of you are travelling this way, I'd be happy to do my best to hook you up with a gig or two. One club has live music nearly every weeknight, ranging from acoustic singer-songrwriter stuff to hiphop. Pretty poppy all in all. The other club is a monthly club for experimental/odd music.
Can't promise much (if any) pay, but free drinks will be available, and I might well be able to arrange free accomodation/food. Set up a merch table -> ???? -> PROFIT.
