Bio
.. .. .. ...... .. ...."CAUSTIC GATE" CD-R (DROMOS) - $7 .. .. Caustic Gate is no exception to their previous works, consolidating the reputation they’ve built in the past times in the lineage of great mavericks and art provocateurs, standing therefore beyond any easy definition of free jazz, noise or improvisation. The sound of their instruments is stretched to the extreme, until they are barely recognizable, revealing new sonic and formal possibilities. This is music that confronts you to a point that’s impossible to be indifferent. Like a dare and an enigma at the same time, it exists in the paradox of being both primal and utterly complex. ?The artwork was made by visual artist Mariana Dias da Cunha and of consists of 200 different original linoleum cuts made out of discarded old encyclopedias. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ...."SPACE DENIAL" LP (NASHAZPHONE) -- OOP.... .. "Wasteland Jazz Unit is Jon Lorenz and John Rich on saxophone and clarinet. The first full length of this apocalyptic Cincinnati duo is simply akin to the sonic equivalent of pouring molten silver (at 700°C) inside an ear. Space Denial is a powerful destruction trip pushing all the limits of reed electronic manipulations to areas and heights only explored by the mighty Borbetomagus. Edition of 190 copies." .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ....CARDBOARD SAX/WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT SPLIT LP (COMMUNITY COLLEGE) - OOP.... .. CARDBOARD SAX is Holly (Uneven Universe), Dan (Uneven Universe, Haunted Castles, Body Morph), and Olson (Wolf Eyes, ..Graveyards, Dead Machines) on saxs and electronics. Amazing use of space and restraint on this killer LP debut. Haunting ..excursions into the dark basement sax damage happening across Michigan these days. Perfect recording and a great ..example to introduce this trio to the world outside the midwest. WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT is Jon Lorenz and John Rich repping ..Cincinati's Art Damage Lodge and ripping the B side up with their scathing sax assault. Walls of feedback and distorted jazz ..take you on a 16 minute ride of beautiful destruction. .. Artwork by JASON ZEH .. 33rpm, Limited to 300 copies on Black Vinyl. .. ....www.communitycollegerecords.com .. .. .. .. ...... .. ...."ECSTATIC JAZZ DUOS SPLIT LP w/ TALIBAM!" (THOR'S RUBBER HAMMER) - OOP.... .. In the first installment of the Ecstatic Jazz Duos series, there is no room for subtlety. On the the Talibam! side, the 18-minute.. "The Geometric Mophometrics of P.P.P.P.P. McNasticals" (what?!) is a multi-part epic unlike anything else in the New York.. City duo's recorded output. Matt Motel (synthesizer) and Kevin Shea (drums) run through the cacophonous noise-jazz most of ..us know them for, but also seamlessly engage in righteously proggy pursuits taking hits off King Crimson and Keith Emerson... On the B-side, Wasteland Jazz Unit gurgles shrapnel on two rippers for amplified saxophone (Jon Lorenz) and clarinet (John ..Rich). Cincinnati's premier Art Damage skater-jazz crew have recorded with the likes of C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core).. and Ryan Jewell (Pink Reason, Psychedelic Horseshit), and here deliver an aural abuse that just ruins your day. Edition of 500. .. ....thorsrubberhammer.com .. .. .. ...... .. ....WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT c30/c15 BOX (CATHOLIC TAPES) - OOP.... .. For the 3rd installment of the Catholic Tapes BOX series comes double dose from Cincinnati, Ohio's Wasteland Jazz Unit. The duo comprised of Jon Lorenz on Saxophones & John Rich on Clarinets present another blown-out amalgamation of buzz and burl that could peel the paint off walls. Following their first full length LP on Nashazphone just months back, the Unit are back in full force with their pure-volume reed-assault like nobody else. The originality of both the process of the Unit is not to be understated, nor is their uncompromising and evolving sound. The sonic extremities of this release is on par with that of a screeching train derailing into another in slow motion. Incredibly stunning and captivating sounds coming from a completely unique place. Tape II features percussionist Chris Adams on the skins adding a completely new dynamic to the already glass-shattering sounds of the duo. Horns on a hellride through the desert at full force. Truly wonderful work. One of the heaviest and relentless releases I've had the pleasure in releasing. In an edition of 100 copies, Chrome bias tapes, Packaged in 5x5 white boxes with protective sleeves, with b&w art and transparency inserts. .. .. myspace.com/catholictapes .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ....WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT c20 (5nakefork) - $8ppd.... .. 52 copies in 12x6" ziplocks. tapes fastened to cardboard w/ hemp strand. 4 pg mini-booklet. art by J tapia [EYES, NitCo] and 5fork. highest quality handmade package here. two tracks of masterful reed manipulation and enduring harsh textures from OHIO weirdos. check out their LPs on thors rubber hammer, community college, and nashazphone .... .... http://5nakefork.blogspot.com/ .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ....WASTELAND JAZZ UNIT/ RED ELECTRIC RAINBOW (NEON BLOSSOM) - OOP.... .. Side A [the spray painted side] is all Wasteland Jazz Unit. Its an intense listen. I believe it was recorded at the Art Damage Lodge in Cincinatti and I believe that they used they venue as an instrument. Clicks, hums, flickers, scrapes dominate this recording. Its eclipses at the end in a beautiful burst of furry. Ear plugs recommended. Side B [white side] is Red Electric Rainbow. Its not the usually synth stuff people are used to. Its whales crying, tape loops, piano flourishes, backwards guitar etc. You could almost call it pretty. There are 4 different color covers, 10 copies of each were made. Full cover J cards, c20s on chrome with white shells. White side Red Electric Rainbow, spray painted side Wasteland Jazz Unit. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ...."SHIVERING REFLECTIONS" CD-R (HOUSE OF ALCHEMY) - $9.... .. Mind-fry right from the get-go. Saxophone and clarinet so blasted and slathered you'll likely need a HAZMAT suit just to handle the disc. Subtle like a piano on yr chest. These are NOW sounds. RIGHT NOW. Art by Katheryn Richards. ....
