Label: Chocolate Monk - CHOC477
Chocolate Monkの常連であるJoe Murray(Posset)とGraeme Hopper(Chlorine)が目的も決めず行なったジャムの記録。ディクタフォン、メガホン、パーカッション、エレクトロニクスを使い、数回のセッションを実行した後面白いリズムパターンを発見。そのままテクスチャーとリズムに重点を置いた演奏続け、それらを更にテープループでミニマル化したかなり面白い反復雑音作。妙なアンビエンスも感じれます。60部限定。
"In the late summer of 2019, Graeme Hopper (Chlorine) and Joe Murray (Posset) met up on Saturday afternoons to jam. With no particular aim in mind Chlorine brought his deconstructed percussion/electronics set up with Posset on Dictaphones, megaphone and vocal jaxx.
After a few sessions a pattern would emerge. The jam would start hectic; everything-playing-at-once ecstasy, an overload of sensory information with the emphasis on texture and rhythm. After some time, busy layers would slope off, colours would become clearer and the vigorous back-and-forth of frantic improvisation would settle into a steady psychic pulse.
These raw jams were further messed with, looped, sliced and taped back together to create the meta-jam you see before you now.
Expect lightning-quick ‘v- vas-h’ and elongated ‘whumm’, climb inside a seashell to appreciate the tight, creamy crenulations. Feel the air get sucked out the room by the electric pressure blowing out your speakers. This marriage of real live-room jam and abstracted studio-sweat is not unique. But the light hand on the tiller and hurling the moral compass into the frothing waves just might be.
Scour out them tabs and screw in those earbuds. It’s clobbering time yeah?" - Kenny Carstairs
