Herd Of The Ether Space - Halloween Masks Look Almost Real! (Taped Rugs Productions ‎- TR #31, C-90, 1990)


HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! 
I have a special trick and treat for you today!


During the 1980’s, Herd Of The Ether Space produced spooky improvised recordings on the Halloweens of 1987, 1988, and 1989. Released by Taped Rugs Productions in 1990, the cassette album: “Halloween Masks Look Almost Real!” blends together recordings from October 31st, 1987, and October 31st, 1989, into a scary presentation that can liven up any All Hallows Eve gathering. 

The first two pieces from the cassette: “Lacing The Candy” and “Witches To Char” are mixes of recordings from the 1989 session, featuring Charles Rice Goff III and Robert Silverman. The session was held at the home of Silverman’s girl friend, Debra Burger, in Berkeley, California, in a room where the walls were cracked and crumbled from the Loma Prieta earthquake, which had taken place less than two weeks previous (on Goff’s birthday). Trick or Treaters who came to Debra’s house that night were tricked and treated with some genuinely frightening noises. The recordings from that night were made on a stereo cassette deck; no tape loop system was used.


To create the other two pieces on the cassette: “Giant Bat Flies” and “Tongue Of Lizard Certain Death,” Goff mixed recordings from the 1989 session with recordings from the 1987 session. The Herd’s line-up for Halloween, 1987, consisted of Goff, Silverman, and Killr “Mark” Kaswan. This improvised sonic adventure into the underworld was made with the Taped Rugs Frippertronic-style tape loop system at the Taped Rugs Studio on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, California. 


The full archive from the cassette, presented here, kicks off with Debra greeting some costumed innocents at her front door, then features the Herd playing a wide variety of instruments and inputting sounds from all sorts of Halloween tapes and records, evangelical recordings, scream generators, etc.

Building Balanced Children - Building Balanced Children (Key Records, cass, smplr, 1986)

Sucking Chest Wound was the collective of Canadian musicians, artists and performers active from 1983 and split up in 1997. They also performed under various names for example as Sweet Children Of The West because the Sucking Chest Wound name was under veto for performing.
In January 1986 PnrH and dWM of SCW began a weekly radio show on CKLN-FM (88.1 MHz), a Toronto community station. The show was called Building Balanced Children and the premise of the show was to perform a live improvised mixdown using 100% sampled material. They used turntables, tape loops, digital delays and the first affordable digital sampler – the Ensoniq Mirage.
dWM and PnrH in their stage attire
They performed the Building Balanced Children show under the name Security Operations Consultants, which they would also use for a live performance in the fall of 1986.
The  Building Balanced Children show lasted until April 1986, and during its run  produced some of the most extreme music being broadcast on the Toronto air waves at the time. 
Excerpt from this recording is included in compilation named A Very Large Arrey released in 1987 on Sound Of Pig.

Rod Summers - The Sound Of An Unsound Mind (Vec Audio, cass, 198?)


Narrative, sound poetry cassette by Rod Summers previously shared on No Longer Forgotten Music.

Rod Summers (born 1943), born in DorsetEngland, is a sound, visual, conceptual artistperformance poetdramatistmail artist and book artist, publisher, archivist, and lecturer on intermedia. He is based in Maastricht, Netherlands.
The results of Summers' multiple, art-related activities have often appeared as part of his concept of VEC (Visual, Experimental, Concrete), which he originated in 1973. In 1999CNN International featured Summers in its Art Club show as a representative of avant-garde art in the Netherlands. In addition, over the last 20 years, Summers has performed his work at various festivals in Europe and Iceland, including the Reykjavik Art Festival (1991), the Polypoetry Festival of Sound Poetry (Bologna, 1993), and the International Sound Poetry Festival (Bologna, 1997), among others.
Summers features among the "second wave" of intermedia artists, the first wave including Dick HigginsVito AcconciJohn CageAllan KaprowJoseph Beuys, and the Fluxus artists of the 1960s. He differs from Higgins and members of the first generation, however, in that he is less theoretical and more experiential in his approach to his art. There have been no VEC manifestos published by Summers, although one may intuit what it encompasses by examining the activities undertaken and products issued under its sign...

JOHN BENDER ‎– MEMORIES OF MINDLESS MECHANICAL MONOLOGUES 1976-1985 - VINYL-ON-DEMAND ‎– VOD95 (7 × VINYL, LP, COMPILATION, BOX SET, LIMITED EDITION, NUMBERED, 2012) (MP3 320)


DEDICADO A TOD@S VOSOTR@S POR LAS 300.000 VISITAS QUE NOS HABÉIS HECHO. MIL GRACIAS A TOD@S !!!!!

DEDICADO TAMBIÉN A NUESTRO SEGUIDOR DAVID, DE LA REPÚBLICA CHECA, POR HACERNOS LLEGAR ESTE MATERIAL.

El seguidor y amigo David, de la República checa, que nos pidió una serie de material de Conrad Schnitzler y que debidamente hemos compartido en nuestro blog Electronic Orgy, nos ha mandado este material como agradecimiento y, como no podía ser de otra manera, nosotros se lo hemos aceptado y os lo ofrecemos a todos para vuestro deleite y disfrute. Desde aquí le mandamos una ovación a este agradecido seguidor.

Entremos en materia...

Se ha divulgado muy poco la obra de este genio de Cincinnati, Ohio. John Bender realizó varias cintas y unos cuantos LP entre finales de los 70 y principios de los 80 en su propio sello "Record Sluts" editándolas en series limitadas, con las cajas y fundas hechas a mano, y distribuyendo sus referencias a través de venta por correo. Su estilo era comparable a artistas como Pseudo Code o los primeros Minimal Man (del difunto Patrick Miller). Sonido electrónico oscuro, minimalista y electrónica "lo-fi".

El sello Vinyl On Demand, rescató en 2012 gran parte de la obra de John Bender en una soberbia caja de 7 Lp's. Son 87 temazos que van desde finales de los 70 hasta 1985.

Disfrutad...

M. Finnkrieg & Henry Hektik & Thomas Sutter - Berlin Diary: Volume 1 - Victory Weapon One (Regicide Bureau, C60,1987-1988)


"Exciting release from M. Finnkrieg and Henry Hektik + Tom Sutter from Regicide Bureau....

This was an 8 Tape series recorded at Deaf Eye Studios in Berlin during the late 80's...

These cassettes were extremely limited .... available directly from the artists...now defunct

This is the first tape... volume one
Personnel

M Finnkrieg - Synths, Rhythms, Programming, sampling
Henry Hektik - Synths, Rhythms, Programming, Tapes
Thomas Sutter - Synths, Voice, Guitar, Tape

Deaf Eye
Rathenowerstr.  46
1000 Berlin 21
West Germany"

Ripped by anemiccinema.

This tape was previously shared on Mutant Sounds and I am still searching for other editions.

According to the info I found, Thomas Sutter is from St. Louis, Mike Finnkrieg is based in Berlin, Henry Hektik is also German I'd say.

Thomas Sutter (Regicide Bureau) is prolific tape trader and home taper, the label Regicide Bureau included a great amount of 1980-2000+ releases. His own cassettes are on classic Sound of Pig, Deaf Eye, Ecto Tapes, Harsh Reality Music and HalTapes; documentation of his collaboration includes Charles Rice Goff III, If, Bwana, Minoy, Hal McGee...
Here is another compilation track probably dated 1989, one of many collabs with M. Finnkrieg - LINK.

 I remember very well Finnkrieg's, Sutter 's and Central's 
WAR GODS track from Thee Exchange Ov Magnetic Energies limited edition compilation (International Terrorist Networkwhich induced me to keep these guys in mind and try to get more musical material by them... Anyway, Mike Finnkrieg is owner of Deaf Eye label and was in duo group along with Henry Hektik called Subtle Reign which was active shortly in the 80s releasing two tapes (or maybe more) that are highly rare. 

Among other works, Henry had done his tracks available on the plate of Audiofile Tapes, IRRE Tapes, Epitapes for compilations....

An electro orientated release.

PROLETKULT - EL ELOGIO DE LOS NUEVOS MATERIALES (WEIMAR 002, 1987)



Ante todo, agradecer al amigo Tingis del blog "LA PELLE MUTA" por hacerme llegar este material.

ProletKult, o “proletarskaya kultura”, es el término ruso para “Cultura Proletaria”, acuñado en la Unión Soviética en 1917 por Alexander Bogdanov para referirse a un movimiento ideológico que pretendía convertirse en la expresión auténtica del marxismo en la cultura. 

En lo que se refiere a música, se trata de un proyecto musical de Juan Pablo Monreal, su segundo trabajo como Proletkult, editado en "Weimar Tapes". Proletkult es su etapa más vinculada a la electrónica, aunque luego vendría Zell Republik, algo más áspera. Mi compañera Mors Mea compartió hace unos meses una cassette de Zell Republik. Actualmente no se dedica a la música, sino a cirugía plástica y estética.

Por cierto, si alguien tiene (original o digitalizada) esta cinta, le agradeceremos que nos lo haga saber, la estamos buscando: http://www.discogs.com/Proletkult-Una-Linea-Es-Una-Fuerza/release/4907421

Disfrutad...

Monotonik / Goljak Nightmare - Demo Recordings 1981-1983 (not on label, cass)


Goran Jermić is born in 1956 in Zagreb, Croatia and shows affection towards music and electronics from an early age which resulted the project Monotonik (1980/81) when he was only 16 years old...
He was also making home-made synths and oscillators. Goljak Nightmare is also him but few years later.
Jermić stopped creating music as the 80s passed by until the end of 90s when he devotes himself to music again. He changes his name into Monofonik in 2004 which sound is a bit different, alternative electro pop as he call it..


The cassette I am sharing doesn't have original artwork (so I made one) and consists of more than just two tracks (it's actually compilation of demo recordings by Jermić's projects) but they are lost. A pity!

Enrico Piva - Late November Dream (EGK - EGK 022, C60, 1987)


Italian artist specifically from Brescia who left us amazing sound works. It's a real pleasure for me to have opportunity to share this cassette, thanks to Francisco Lopez, which was released 1987 on EGK, Spanish Esplendor Geometrico's label.


Enrico Piva (1956-2002) was one of the original investigators in the panorama of Italian independent music of the eighties dressed in the full figure of the outsider and, creating musique concrète, conceptual, field recording, minimalism electronic, post-industrial noise and has published twenty audiocasettes for various Italian and international labels between 1981 and 1990. 
For example as Unit 06 contributing on TRAXTRA compilation by mail-art TRAX platform for exchange and collaboration across great geographical distances, held by Vittore Baroni,  Piermario Ciani (1951-2006) and  Massimo Giacon from project Spirocheta Pergoli from 1981-1987. All interested in closer look of  TRAX's concept - CLICK HERE or HERE.

On the basis of artistic studies, Piva produced drawings, lithographs, research photography (scotography) and video, as well as literary texts, including unpublished experimental text "Piscine sommerse ed altre immersioni" which is among other works related to Enrico Piva presented HERE (sadly only in Italian!).
