Konkret-komplexe Klangkunst bietet diese erste LP des bisher nur auf Cassette zu geniessenden Projekts, wobei ein Menge selbstgebauter Instrumente zum Einsatz kommen, um verwirrende, quirlige, weirdo-soundscapes in unsere Gehörgänge zu schicken.
"Starting his music career in the early 1980s in the collective Points of Friction alongside Joseph Hammer and being on the fringes of the L.A.F.M.S. group, Damian Bisciglia has gone on to create a body of work only available on cassette and generally only heard among the cassette culture. His work is amazingly developed though, finding a style incorporating collage, improvisation, and diverse number of unique sources including contact mic as instrument unto itself, multitracked loops, shells, balloons, metal heater, springs, matchbox car, and many others. In addition to this, he has in recent years begun to create 'creatures' built from various found materials. A very talented artist whose work has long impressed me and whom I am glad to finally help bring out a more widely available release." [label info]
"This LP is strictly an analog affair and is 96% free of conventional musical instruments and electronic effects. The sound sources (instruments?) are primarily acoustic and would include: metal eraser shield played with human breath, cardboard speaker cone bowed with a coat hanger, blow-dryer heating element, hard plastic combs, a broken TV set (unplugged), sea shells etc. These objects are amplified using a variety of contact microphones. All pieces are built upon a 4-track reel to reel with the exception of the final track, which is a real time improvisation using a wooden laundry hamper still encased in it's plastic shrink-wrap."
