Dorninger - Phrasemongering


By , 2021-09-19
Dorninger - Phrasemongering

NOTES:

Phrasemongering - Too much blah blah out there! My head is bursting, unrestrained outpourings of linguistic manure are pouring out of the news feeds - 24-7-365! The phrasemongering („Phrasemongering“) of self-appointed or elected citizens collides with the aberrations ("Error") of cross-thought misconceptions. "Deny, Deflect, Lie, Cheat" is the mantra of our time, as long as we don't think of the world with a soft focus ("The Mind Sings Soft Tones"). It thaws violently where it shouldn't ("After The Thaw") and after the driving rain ("Driving Rain") we practise humility for a moment and then quickly go on as usual without braking. "Blah, Blah, Blah" vs. „Solidarity“, Freundschaft! credits released August 17, 2021 Music, Electronics, Vocals, Lyrics: Wolfgang "Fadi" Dorninger Photo, Cover: Wolfgang Dorninger

Greg Gray & Don Campau - Erase and Deny

NOTES:

From the album "Erase And Deny" by Greg Gray & Don Campau. More information at lonelywhistle.doncampau.com Acquire hard copy with original art by Don Campau at From the album "Erase And Deny" by Greg Gray & Don Campau. More information at lonelywhistle.doncampau.com credits released September 10, 2021 Greg Gray: music Don Campau: lyrics and vocals produced by Greg Gray Mastered by Eric Hausmann thanks to Tim Jones for the additional expertise and asisstance

REVIEW:

I'm a big fan of Don Campau's lyrics and vocal delivery. Erase and Deny pairs Don with longtime collaborator Greg Gray who appears on many of Campau's records. This time Gray is the instrumentalist and Campau provides lyrics and vocals. The music is blues rock with jazz flourishes. Each track embraces a quick groove and Don's vocals slip inside nicely. He is observational and often introspective, tempered with self-effacing humor. At one point Don says he's lived most of his life with maybe a chapter or two left before tying it all off. Those familiar with his current work activity as a visual artist, radio show host, music archivist and musician will wonder about that. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker .

Laurent Fairon | Chant de naufrage

NOTES:

These tracks came to life growing on pre-existing musics like epiphytes do on plants or trees. Found herein are excerpts and samples from 78rpm laughing record, operatic singer, 20th century contemporary musics, YouTube detritus, etc, as well as a flotsam of electronic loops, synth sounds and the omnipresent human voice, especially wordless female vocals – hence the title 'Chant de naufrage', French for Hymn of Wreckage. LF: records, samples, virtual synth Recorded 2019–2020

Slow Children & Area | Zima e.p.

Download Album HERE

NOTES:

chicago, in the middle of deepest winter. snow covered. at this time of year, the title track of this e.p. was created as a collaboration between slow children (whom we welcome as a new artist) and area (most recently in 2009 on "objet trouvé" [tonatom.103]). "zima" means winter and this is reflected in the meandering, powerful, deep, ambient opener. five alternative interpretations of this work take up different aspects in a new way, continue it with a new focus and complete this e.p. this is far from being a " one original title and remixes" release, but rather presents six very different variations of a theme combined, which allows an attentive listening as one piece. in addition to alternative interpretations of slow children and area as the originators of the original, we meet our long-time companion drmlgcc/dreamlogic again (most recent release: "treader" [tonatom.128] in 2013) as the creator of the final version. should such a work be released in the middle of summer and in times of a climate crisis? well, absolutely! when else. welcome slow children and welcome back area and drmlgcc.

Jerry King & Bret Harold Hart - Oblique Observations

NOTES:

Raucous hard ambient tunes with progressive rock experimental flavors coming at the listener from one-half of veteran recording artists, Moon Men. Engaging and demanding, this music will take the listener to landscapes warped by the fabric of alien sounds. Hence, oblique observations. released April 2, 2021 Bret Harold Hart and Jerry King provide all of the instrumentation for the album, while Bret handles the artwork & mixing duties as well.

Love, Calvin - Mr. Joy

Love, Calvin - Mr. Joy

DOWNLOAD @ ARCHIVE.ORG

REVIEW:

Love, Calvin's Mr. Joy is alive with ideas. A restless creativity permeates this tape, while the songs reamain consistently well-crafted with hard-edged excitement. Love, Calvin is Scott Johnson. His twisted sense of observation shines through with both humor and pain. And even the pain and angst is often funny. It's been seventeen years since I first reviewed this tape and the time has done nothing to dim my love of this album. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker .
