Francisco Lopez, Tim Hecker Live in Montreal Jan. 3, 2003
New Release by Francisco Lopez
New Items Availble On-line from the Alien8 Store
___________________________________________________

* * * * * * * * *

FRANCISCO LOPEZ, TIM HECKER LIVE IN MONTREAL JAN. 3, 2003

Francisco Lopez will perform live at the Casa del Popolo in honor of
the reissue of his first American release, "Addy en el pais de las frutas y
los chunches". This is perhaps the artist’s strongest recorded document,
a personal favorite of Lopez himself. His performance will be done
using sounds from the release, which are dense brutal environmental
recordings. The soundscapes are so dense and rich that they consume the
listener, from total beauty to absolute fright. This will mark our sixth presentation of a live
performance by the artist and they never seem to tire the listener.
This performance is different from the events presented at the Darling Foundry and the Sala Rossa in that it will be a more intimate in style.

Tim Hecker will also perform a rather rare solo set by recent
standards, although he has been performing out of town as well as with Fly Pan Am.
Expect a powerful set of ambient music that is not afraid to get
incredibly intense at times. This will mark Tim Hecker’s third
appearance with Francisco Lopez.

This show happens on Friday Januar 3, 2003 at the Casa del Popolo, 4873
St-Laurent at 10 pm. Admission is $10.

The capacity of the Casa del Popolo is very limited so advance ticket
purchase suggested. Tickets for this event will be $10 on sale at Casa
del Popolo, Cheap Thrills, Esoterik and l’Obique. Tickets on sale as of
Dec 15.

NEW RELEASE BY FRANCISCO LOPEZ

We are very pleased to be able to announce the availability of the
artist’s most astonishing recorded work yet! "Addy en el país de las
frutas y los chunches" was originally released in an edition of 500
copies on the ND label in 1997.

This release is most comparable to efforts that centered more on the
environmental aspects of artists work and is somewhat comparable to
releases such as "La Selva" and "Untitled Music for Geography". "Addy…"
was the first American release by Lopez and to this day remains the
artist’s favorite release. The sound world created and captured by
Francisco Lopez on this recording is absolutely incredible, a
beautifully horrifying listening experience. This could very possibly
be one of the most important ambient records of the last 10 years and
truly reinvents the concept of field recordings.

NEW ITEMS AVAILBLE ON-LINE FROM THE ALIEN8 STORE

MERZBOW: PUROLAND CD (OHM)
Latest Merzbow release on Norway’s OHM records. Contains tunes that
Akita played at shows this year as well as a tune influenced by 70’s
German hard rock band Jane and a cover of the Monkeys.

VENETIAN SNARES: DOLL DOLL DOLL CD (Hymen)
A hybrid of monstrous breakbeats and drum and bass ... a terrorising
wall of sound, a splatter mix of broken drill and noise, tweaked
frequencies, cut-up noises, bizarre funky samples, and straight noise
attacks. It rattles the speakers, shatters the windows, drives your
adrenaline to all-time high and then pins you to the floor with the
thunderous percussion attacks. Each track constantly changes, one
second exploding with speedcore passages, and the next moment tripping over
itself and collapsing into broken, twisted and aggressive techstep.
Rhythmic textures, sonic explorations and ceaseless creativity the
component parts of this accelerated sound are ultra-fast beats,
disjointed samples, distorted shouts of vocal, stabs of synth that
squeal with resonance and the occasional bout of plunderphony. These
components are then stitched together in an almost haphazard manner but
one that you may suspect is more than deliberate.

[SIC] ... AND RABBITS NAMED FRIDAY CD (Squirrelgirl)
[sic] is the nom de plume of Montreal producer Jen Morris, who after a
limited-run self-titled EP is set to launch her first full-length album.

...And Rabbits Named Friday (Squirrelgirl) could easily be the
alternative soundtrack to Japanese cyber-punk shock film Tetsuo the
Iron Man. Mechanical rhythms churn under noisy drones and frigid melodies.
Highlights include the dissonant symphony for alarm clocks "puddles"
and the electronic invasion of wind-up toys that is "royk." The sparse,
dark atmospherics and the admitted lack of funk will probably not appeal to
many fans of what’s coming to be known as the Montreal minimal sound, a
fact that suits Morris just fine. One listen to …And Rabbits and it’s
obvious that sound and texture are paramount in all of [sic]’s
compositions. Contrast, dissonance, and tone are reoccurring themes in
every track. Watch out for this one!

VARIOUS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF NOISE & ELECTRONIC MUSIC, VOL. 1 2CD (Sub
Rosa)
This should appear under Guy Marc Hinant’s name. The director of the
label Sub Rosa offers here much more than a compilation album: it is a
strongly assumed, personal look at the history of electronic and noise
music. His approach, a-chronological and atypical, makes a thunderous
statement for anti-compartmentalization. By blending classic tracks,
forgotten gems, and fresh developments from all musical fronts
("serious"/academic music and "popular"), he encourages creative links,
filiations, and in the end discussion. The first five tracks work as an
introduction to the early days, with Luigi Russolo, Walter Ruttman (his
image-less film Wochende from 1930), Pierre Schaeffer, Henri Pousseur,
and Gordon Mumma each representing a decade. After that, the listener
travels between decades and genres. Highlights are numerous and include
such genre-defining classics as Pousseur’s "Scambi" and Edgar Varese’s
"Poeme Electronique," plus a mammoth, previously unreleased 30-minute
piece by Pauline Oliveros and Sonic Youth’s "Audience," a
just-unearthed recording from 1983 in which the musicians turn the microphones
toward the audience and treat this as input (it turns cheers into hysterical
cow moos).

VARIOUS: NEVER MIND THE BOOTLEGS: HERE’S SEX WITH NID & SANCY CD
Part two in the Bootleg series with 10 new songs including the
introduction to the cd, (I understand that there is also a 3-cd set
with mp3s also available with a similar title to this cd). Things go deeper,
get darker, and more complex than ever with this disc, with hardcore
rhythms, schooling raps and incredible mix capabilities, the only crime
in this set being the high amount of profanity throughout. This time
out we are at least clued into the different artists in each track and
throughout there is a current of rap taken to a higher plateau, with
added samples, vocals and rhythms to further the cause. One is given
the feeling the money man in the music industry quaking in their boots....

À faire se retourner Edison dans sa tombe, voici en première mondiale le pivophone, dont la performance sera retransmise en direct sur plus de 20 radios publiques européennes, dans le cadre du Art’s Birthday organisé à Lausanne par Espace 2 au Cinema Bellevaux.

Tournant dans la tête de Jen Morris depuis des lustres et réalisée avec Micheal Egger, cette nouvelle machine pourrait s’inscrire comme la cerise sur le gâteau d’une histoire des machines à bruits. Des Intonarumori futuristes aux tubes robotiques des frères Decoster, c’est toute une généalogie glorifiant la virilité agressive, la force, le pouvoir, l’industrie et la guerre que révèle le pivophone. Le pivophone met en doute ce qui jusqu’à son arrivée faisait autorité dans les arts du son. Alors, s’agit-il d’écouter des pives comme John Cage désirait entendre l’âme des cendriers ? Non, mais on se rapproche. Et oui il faut se rapprocher. On est dans l’art de la miniature. Miniature d’un gros show télévisé où les pop stars sont des pives. Miniature d’une scène faite miroir. Miniature d’une patinoire d’Holidays on Ice, où les danseurs-hockeyeuses sont finalement grandeur nature. Alors déjà assité à un ballet de pives majestueuses sous speed ? Déjà écouté le fracas d’une pive contre une autre ?

Jen Morris est une artiste sonore de performances électroniques, radicales et troublantes. De renommée internationale sous le pseudo [sic], Morris communique rarement avec l’espèce humaine. Mais lorsqu’elle le fait, à travers, aussi, la vidéo, l’installation, la bande son de films et son label Squirrelgirl, c’est frontal et désarçonnant.
