Bio
...........All work is a serious representation of the true state of human behaviour,and the sounds used tie in with this.At no point do i condone[or condemn]the actions i document;however,my personal opinion is no doubt implicit in my expression......ALL TRACKS ARE PERFORMED AND RECORDED LIVE,ONE TAKE,NO OVERDUBS,BY ONE MAN............----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EQUIPMENT USED:MICROKORG ANALOG MODELING SYNTH,KORG ES-1 MKII SAMPLER,DANELECTRO TAPE

STATIC,DOCUMENTARY&MOVIE SAMPLES,TELEVISION SPEAKER,HOHNER 64 CHROMONICA,BELCAT TRANSDUCER,ALTO AX100 10 CHANNEL MIXER,M.AUDIO MICRO TRACK II RECORDER............--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There will be no detailed explaination of the original inspiration for the BAGMAN raw power/abuse electronics/harsh noise/analogue assault project,as previously this offended delicate sensibilities,and resulted in serious conflict......The crimes/paraphilia of Kenneth"Mad Dog"McKenna were an early influence,mixing with my own personal hatred,anger & misery to create certain material[this culminated much later in the release:"For Kenneth McKenna"].Over the course of the 16 piece[unreleased]opening work,my expression became concerned with much more personal issues such as mental illness and sexual deviance......I am certainly guilty of using my work as a catharsis to deal with many inner demons,and ALL work is rooted in personal emotion.Despite the link between the aforementioned Mr.McKenna and the BAGMAN moniker,the driving force behind the entire project is my past and present experiences with mental illness and addiction,and although it may be expressed in various ways,this is at the core of all BAGMAN work.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Previous projects have included:"SALO"-Harsh Noise dedicated to the seminal Pasolini masterpiece;"BAHNHOF"-Experimental Improvisation with K.Mitchell;"DEVIANT"-Industrial Noise;"STOSSTRUPP"-Third Reich/Military/Harsh Noise.[none of these projects had work publicly released]

REVIEW1:N.R.Y.Y.(noise re yacky) - STIRNER COMPILATION (CDR by Skum rex) BAGMAN STIRNER - A BY-PRODUCT OF ANXIETY COMPILATION (CDR by Skum rex) I'm uncertain as to if Skum Rex exists as I couldn't find any information, N.R.Y.Y is from Japan - Norihito Kodama - Bagman from the UK, Stirner from Overijssel Netherlands - ABOA myspace site is referenced anxiety930& Florida. NRYYs first track mixes a classical string work with bursts of delicate noise, others mix drum machines, heavy breathing / female orgasm , high pitched sine whereas Stirner's 4 tracks are more conventional swathes of noise with found vocals and white noise feedback. I think ABOA begins the second CDr with 2 tracks of vocal spoken loops and tortured (white)noise, Stirner is much more harsh but still I think is treating samples. The 3 Bagman tracks are quite simply harsh noise, that they are recorded live and that there might be some quite profound emotional concepts behind these is beside the point. His work he says represents the darkest side of human behavior, and his site references notorious murderers. But I've made the point before - missing in the list are Blair and Bush, the list's so called bogeymen only serve to promote the police and authorities power over us all, the need for the smart bomb and hellfire missile. We are now told that Swine Flu is more dangerous than terrorism, that terrorism was more dangerous than the threat of nuclear attack in the cold war, and that we were all going to die of rabies carried by French foxes through the channel tunnel. The one thing that marks Artists like Bagman is not their madness but a purity of aesthetic and artistic sincerity - by which I don't mean to demean the others on these compilations but the lad from Newcastle deserves a wider audience and a bigger canvas. I know at times one can feel lost and creativity as being pointless, Steve Bacon's (Bagman) work is outstanding- and I'd like him and whoever else reads this to know I think so - there - as simply put as I can for those who sometimes find my reviews difficult. (jliat)........................... REVIEW2:BAGMAN - FOR KENNETH McKENNA http://www.vitalweekly.net/696.html ......An interesting thought in an already overlong review-can we have beauty without goodness? Perhaps- here? Bagman noise could be described as extreme harsh noise rather than "wall," the pieces are in constant morphogenesis, a dangerous situation nearing the collapse of everything, certainly no attempt at coherence which strangely is problematic for "wall" noise. I think at times he might be stretching too far, in danger of falling into meaning - of vocals or some kind of neo-industrial rhythmics on track 3, however the danger of such "experimentalism' and pseudo-teleology is mitigated (though it can't be justified) by the final track of wonderfully new? (for me/him) totalizing high end feedback, breaking free of the particular cathartic fall into a generalizing totality removed of the personal id, disintegrations not of sound but of universes of... ethics. Question: should catharsis be good or just a pleasant respite from the truth that there is no good. "Good is dead" - ha ha ha. (jliat)
