BASSHATERS, live spring 2009

YGR 24

CD-R (5 €)

Basshaters (San Francisco)

Basshaters is a duo utilizing double bass, drum set, and electronics to integrate acoustic free improv and electronic noise, two genres thriving in the San Francisco Bay Area. They use extended techniques to activate their large resonant instruments. Striving to match the fluidity of their acoustic music, electronics expand the timbral and dynamic options to new extremes. The duo seeks directness and intensity in execution; subtleties emerge from the bold statement of simple ideas.
In addition to Basshaters, Dryer & Heule have released an album on Creative Sources with clarinetist Jacob Lindsay. They have a trio CD with saxophonist Jack Wright, and have performed live with diverse musicians such as Michel Doneda, C Spencer Yeh, Gino Robair, and Damon Smith. Dryer has toured with the Flying Luttenbachers and Usurp Synapse; Heule remains active with his brutal improv duo Ettrick.

LA MUGRE ROJA

YGR 22
cd-r (5€)

Martin V. Canova said « drugs don’t work » & (translated by the Young Girls Academy of Smile) it means “everyday should be a holiday”.

Well, LA MUGRE ROJA is Martin’s solo project. This young & beautiful Uruguayan is a FIESTA ANIMAL core member (probably the best South American freak band ever ... with true young & charming girls).
LA SALETE ROUGE is LA MUGRE ROJA. Yes, it is. I’m pretty sure. Canova plays intoxicated & raw songs recorded & mixed on different cassettes (you know, that’s why he released that on a cdr).
He used self-made percussion instruments, Creole guitar & television to create something like that: no- fidelity-orchestra-called-by-a-psych-garage-ensemble -will-destroy-drugs-with-drugs-in-harmony-with-the-ghost-of-Tinky-Winky. (not very funny)

The last track is a long psych & tribal odyssey recorded with a lovely drum & percussion demoiselle duet (Bianca Visconti & Ana Arioni).

Insert poetry & liner notes by Martin himself.
The cover painting is from Antonella Moltini & the layout (?) was made by Julia Saldain.

HEREHAREHERE

YGR 21
Tape - 5 € -

Primitiv & no-fi vocal duet from UK. Awesome free a'capella attack (throat effects, vocal incantation, ...). Somewhere between a rainbow in the african sky & a young girl singing alone behind Marty Mc Fly's future.

Veteran of the UK scene ... members of Slow Listener, running Archivo de Sangre de Dios & the old & obscur Curor imprint (since 1994 i think).
The duet is on a very fine vocal-focus compilation with Phil Minton, Dylan Nyoukis, ID M Theft Able, Usurper ... ETC. ETC. ...
Another cassette were released on the mighty Scumbag Relations dream team.
Follow the way.

Mini b&w poster (size: A4) ... a VEGETABLE SUN (ooohh man !!!) by the father Bart de Paepe (Sloow tapes, Silvester Anfang II, ...)
+ Other drawings, spacy collage & bullshit by young girls.
Every copy is different. Every hereharehere listener is a rainbow.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI - dekadenz -

YGR 20

CD-R (5 eur)

Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Until 1984, Bianchi published on other labels intensively as either MB or simply Maurizio Bianchi, sometimes several albums and/or tapes per year, as well as numerous tracks to compilations. Bianchi became religious and withdrew himself from the music business. Much of his work is sought today by collectors, especially as they appeared in extremely small editions.

Soundohm

Maurizio Bianchi/M. B. played a decadent piano using sostenuto and damper pedals effects.

AL AMOR DE LA LUMBRE - lumière hostile # 2 -

YGR 16
CD-R (5eur)

Since 2003 Al Amor de la Lumbre is a french band gathering Alix Marchetti and Stéphane F. in a musical exploration of all kinds of instruments (piano, balalaïka, synths, guitars) and different methods of playing and recording : sampling, recording through a telephone, tapes, dictaphone, collages, improvisation...
Alix Marchetti and Stephane F. met in 2003, in a bar in Amsterdam. Al Amor de la Lumbre, as they named their band, quickly started rehearsing, mostly in squats and abandonned building, and before an audience made of other local musicians (usually belonging to the new wave / industrial / experimental scene) and also some art galleries owners. Several gigs were organized in their native town Nancy (France) from 2003 to 2006 and they played for several art exhibitons, also with Alix's father, the contemporary artist Jean-Michel Marchetti (who recorded a song with Alix, as a child, with his long-time friend Robert Wyatt, entitled "Dondestan").

But the main inspiration source is their own lives, dreams and experiences ; reality meets fiction and dreamt lives.
