MY CAT IS AN ALIEN. -'8inch triangular lathe cut record'.
I have long been in awe of the superior control of musical cosmonauts Roberto and Maurizio Opalio. The grace and simplicity of their touch.
I feel that it is a privilege to able to introduce this new work, 2 short sides etched into a triangle of acetate that illustrate the potentially eternal depth of the subjectively experienced universe.
This record is far less electr(on)ic than some of their pieces. Driven largely by plaintive bell like guitar and a sparse haunting ethereal wordless vocal it sounds like a prayer sung in a chamber deep within some dark crystalline moon.
A limited numbered edition of 80 triangle records in specially designed triangular sleeves.
SUNKEN.- 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve'. Deep in the swirling depths of the ocean a terrible yet wondrous beast stirs slow but sure amidst great forests of sea algae. Taking on the form of a pair of conjoined drown-ed sailors it sets forth upon the currents determined to loose its apocalyptic vision upon the earth via droning sea shanty and great humming hymn. Sunken is the duo of New Zealands sunken sailors Stefan Neville (Pumice) and Antony Milton (Nether Dawn/A.M etc). Using a range of organs, sonar gear, live tapeloops, vocals and an unhealthy amount of submarine reverb they create a glorious droning pop noise. 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve' follows on from their acclaimed self titled debut (also on PseudoArcana) and various compilation appearances. You can hear a sample from the album here. CD. NZ$20 (post incl) Visit www.pseudoarcana.com for details.
The stoic stalwart instruments of old country (banjos and lapsteels) highjacked by Bill Wood (1/3 Octave Band), Antony Milton (Nether Dawn/PseudoArcana etc) and the ornithological masses to create a music of the glorious sky in calm and in tempest...
