Nonlocal Forecast — Holographic Universe(s?)! (Hausu Mountain)

Holographic Universe(s?)! by Nonlocal Forecast

Angel Marcloid is a restless experimenter and collagist whose work as Fire-Toolz mashes a wide-range of electronic and acoustic elements into a thrilling often alienated mélange. Under her Nonlocal Forecast guise she conjures her fascination with Yacht Rock, jazz fusion and Kankyō Ongaku, the Japanese environmental music of the 1980s, into a mix that treads a razor thin line between homage and parody with utter seriousness to form new fractal shapes that distort and repurpose tropes even while celebrating them. COVID lockdown appears to have triggered both a questions about what “normal life” means and a wave of musical nostalgia across the world as people seek comfort and consolation in the familiar. Although recorded during 2019 Holographic Universe(s?)! interrogates and celebrates the yearning for simpler times when fans, united by their favorite radio stations as much as their favorite bands, were happy to share common information sources and pursue niche interests. Marcloid adroitly but gently subverts the genres she so clearly loves and brings out the blitheness, empty technical sophistication and inherent oddity of much of this music.

Marcloid builds these universes with computer, midi controller and guitar. The programmed drums are immediately familiar, the keyboards likewise and her guitar solos are memory triggers for cadences that were, whether loved or hated, seemingly ubiquitous. Echoes of Michael Brecker decorate “Interactions Between Brains & The Foam of Potentiality” on which Bhob Rainey garnishes a tricksy prog ballad with a lyrical solo straight from the 1985 AOR charts and “Space-Time = Infinity-Eternity Objectified” with Ian Smith’s saxophone beaming in from the lost world of 8-tracks and topiary   ‘tashes, smoothing its way through a satin cloud of billowing synths and beanbag drums. “The Bubbling Up Of Duality On An Autumn Night By A Forest Stream” is as comforting and disquieting as the title suggests, gentle acoustic guitar over building keyboards, is that a lamb bleating lost and lonely in the distance? gated drums set the stage for the big electric solo that shakes its decadent fist as the world turns, indifferent. 

Marcloid mines memory to engage experience and dig into duality. Whether balm or diversion, music remains Pavlovian, beyond articulation if not reproach. Holographic Universe(s?)!  dissects the gap between what we know in the here and now and what we may have dreamt of becoming, enjoy it in two dimensions as an entertainment and a third as inner space exploration. Either way it is a transporting 42 minutes.

Damon & Naomi - In The 21st Century / Everything Quieter Than Everything Else (Live In Japan)

Here’s a double shot of Damon & Naomi for your Bandcamp Monday. First we’ve got a compilation of cherrypicked highlights from the duo’s last few LPs, all released on their own 20-20-20 imprint. Each record is worth owning, but if you’re interested in getting just a taste, In The 21st Century flows perfectly from song to song. “Time won’t hold me, time won’t own me,” they sing, and, yeah, Damon & Naomi’s music has always seemed beautifully untethered, its own universe, playing by its own rules. Added bonus -- for fans of Michio Kurihara, the masterful guitarist shows up on several tracks here. 

Kurihara is also on board for Everything Quieter Than Everything Else, a Damon & Naomi live album that I’m just getting around to for some reason. Michio’s erstwhile Ghost bandmate Masaki Batoh is here too, as is Espers cellist Helena Espvall and saxophonist Bhob Rainey. Recorded at Tokyo’s O-Nest club in 2007, it’s a wonderful companion to Song to the Siren, D&N’s previous live release. The closing “Araçá Azul / The Earth is Blue” is almost 10 minutes of sheer perfection.

Jesse Kudler & Graham Stephenson - Apposite Rejoinder

Recorded pre-pandemic but evoking its rollercoaster moods - tentative calm, nervous anxiety, claustrophobia, and confusion giving way to moments of excited release - "Apposite Rejoinder" is the debut release from the duo of Graham Stephenson and Jesse Kudler. Long-time free improvisers and staples of their respective Chicago and Philadelphia musical communities, Stephenson and Kudler bring their distinctive approaches together for the first time in the studio. Stephenson plays amplified trumpet, close-mic'd to reveal a wealth of interior detail derived from circular breathing and other extended techniques. Kudler performs in stereo on guitar, radios, transmitters, tapes, and electronics. "Apposite Rejoinder" was improvised live to multi-track in two sessions before being carefully mixed and edited by Kudler for maximum hi-fi impact. A world of layered and shifting spaces is revealed from the sundry amplification techniques at hand: a microphone close on the trumpet's piping, the pickups of electric guitar, contact and cassette recorder microphones, and live room sampling on tape. At a moment of renewed appreciation for in-person group activities and live collaboration, "Apposite Rejoinder" is a thrilling reminder of the possibilities of collective free improvisation. Carefully-honed voices join to create a unique music, where individual contributions are frequently impossible to distinguish within rushes of noisy energy. *** Graham Stephenson uses amplification to bring interior aspects of the trumpet to the fore. Through the use of highly pressurized breath, valve rotation, and extreme embouchure, the instrument becomes an unpitched sound generator adaptable to improvised settings combining acoustic and electronic sound palettes. He was initially influenced by Greg Kelley and has performed with Zoots Houston, Carol Genetti, Fred Lonberg-Holm, claire rousay, Jason Stein, Richard Kamerman, and others. Recordings are available on Erstwhile Records, Pilgrim Talk, and Hideous Replica. Jesse Kudler is a musician, composer, performer, and sound artist working in improvisation, collaboration, and site-specificity to examine authorship, intention, agency, ambiguous affects, and modes and practices of listening. He uses guitar, electronics, recordings, keyboards, synthesizers, radios, tapes, movement, and text. Kudler lives in Philadelphia, PA. Current projects include solo acoustic guitar improvisation, solo church organ performance, and performance duo with dancer Christina Gesualdi. Kudler has also performed with Tim Albro, Ian Fraser, Chandan Narayan, Matt Bauder, Kyle Bruckmann, Chris Cogburn, James Coleman, Tim Feeney, Brent Gutzeit, Bonnie Jones, Jason Kahn, Mazen Kerbaj, Matt Mitchell, Toshimaru Nakamura, Pauline Oliveros, Bhob Rainey, Vic Rawlings, Christine Sehnaoui, Mike Shiflet, Jason Soliday, Howard Stelzer, Christian Weber, Matt Weston, Jack Wright, Jason Zeh, and many others.

Bhob Rainey (nmperign) announces first solo electronic album “From null lands led, starrily”

After essentially two decades, it seems almost contrary to supposition for a musician/composer who's had his hand in so many pots to be only now announcing his "first" solo (electronic) album. http://j.mp/2xyutxT

Bhob Rainey (nmperign) announces first solo electronic album, reassures his sax that he still has feelings for it

After essentially two decades, it seems almost contrary to supposition for a musician/composer who’s had his hand in so many pots to be only now announcing his “first” solo (electronic) album. Of course, Rainey’s done a ton of collaborating throughout his generally improvisation-minded career, and From null lands led, starrily — the new album out October 2 courtesy of the dynamic Anòmia outfit — promises to showcase his solitary mind likely more than any other previous release. In other words, get ready to hear the Philly native’s prodigious outbursts unornamanted by the likes of Jason Lescalleet or Greg Kelley (in nmperign). But hey, who says you always need a friend to accompany you to the movies, anyway? (Although, Raine doesseem like a guy whose post-movie commentary would be in high demand, despite his constant annoyance at being desperately asked to deliver his insight regarding “Megatron’s newfound role.”) Again, this is Rainey’s first solo, electronic, full-length album; which means that all of the non-saxophone and specially-conceived synthesis stuff that you might’ve heard over the years is taking center stage for the prescribed length. And that “length” then takes on a new significance when you consider the role that space plays in his music, because it essentially makes the album the musical equivalent of that “so much room for activities” meme. And Rainey’s apparently been working on this one for a while. Stay tuned for official pre-order and tracklisting info, but in the mean time, check out an excerpt from the track “Sinter” below: http://j.mp/2fRFKiX
