InfluencesThese faults are undesirable and should not be perpetuated:

1. Cryptorchid
A mature jack with one or both testes undescended into the scrotum after two years is called a cryptorchid. Cryptorchid males should be gelded.

2. Dwarfism
A dwarfed animal has an overall stunted, thick-set appearance. They can have multiple deformities in the legs with large, coarse and knobby joints or cannons short and stumpy. They have disproportionate heavy heads, usually carried low. Dwarfism traits are unacceptable for breeding.

3. Extreme "Cow Hocks"
Cow Hocks that hinder the movement, and therefore the function of an individual.

4. Extreme "Parrot Mouth" and/or "Monkey Mouth"
Teeth that miss an even bite by more than 1/4-inch affect the good condition and health of an individual, and eventually the longevity of the animal.

Sounds Like"Donkey nurture the spontaneity, the improvisation, the need to force out some fresh abomination, that marks the best of the scene." - The Wire

"Noisy, occasionally brutal, this is not a Merzbow-esque assault. There is pace, tension and most of all invention." - All-Music Guide

"To-the-bone abstract artcore sound manipulation. Very impressive." - Mixmag

"Donkey veer from the heady extremes of pure adrenaline noise to the more cerebral and chin stroking intellectual exercise that is improvisation at its most inventive." - Acid Attack Music

"A new sonic horizon, and booga to the 'Oh, electronic music! It's so cold! So unfeeling! Waah!' crowd, the excitement that the interchange of creativity and challenge these two are engaged in fairly leaps into your ear." - Signal to Noise

"Leaping between towers of abstraction, dragging note clusters over cruelly sharp rough terrain, they mess around in the margins of an ever-playful train of sonic events." - Metamorphic Journeyman

"Fjellestad and Holzborn create a dense, festering tropical sound texture... a compound sonic miasma reminiscent of the bubbling inventive density of Matmos and the psychotic drawl emerging from the bottom of a Frank Zappa cheeseburger." - The Wire

"Surging electronics evolve and develop in engaging and compelling ways with the perfect balance of unity and variety in color, sonority, rhythm and texture. While you won't find yourself humming any tunes, Donkey cranks out some mighty fine noise." - Progression

"Donkey exhibit a coherent sympathy too many modern players miss completely; you can hear them following each other all over the map." - e|i

   About DONKEY
donkey stone

They come, riding fog, thirsty mules. A new breed with eyes on their arms, moving like hungry hunters, not yet poised to sleep. Inspecting valleys, terrain shifts, boasting blades and breathing machines, with ivory handles, and sharp edges, performing mid-air flips in such far-flung territories as California, Pacific Northwest, East Coast, Japan and Mexico.

Donkey are LA synth player Hans Fjellestad and NYC sound manipulator Damon Holzborn, building stubborn noise structures since 1991.

Zyzzybalubah’s Hallucinogenic Mixtapes





May 27 2007 6:54 AM

any intrest in making a segment around 1 minute or so... give more or take less of psychedelic mindfuckingness, that i could use in this new idea i had for an ULTRA HALLUCINOGENIC MIXTAPE COMPILATION...

basically, it will essentially be the same concept as my previous hallucinogenic mixtapes, except this time the artists will have created the segments (that i mix together) specifically FOR the hallucinogenic mixtapes?

any interest?

credit will be given in the CD booklet of course, and the release will be 100% free to everyone! not selling it.
