Well fuck, here we go.

And how can you say can you say how can an album that is so short, an album under 10 minutes, really be an album? What the fuck is that?
That's right assholes. Listen to this shit for 9 minutes and 34 seconds and jiggle your body and be done with it. Come back when you get a chance!
Have some fun with it too.
God damned motherfucking breakdancing clowns from hell.
When you're ready for action get into the DEMON SQUEEZE and purge them shits cause it's like your tripping down a roller-coaster highway on the tip of a vinyl needle under the spell of an evil sorceress who wants your blood.
Pulse it through your veins and try not to succumb to the urge to drive head into oncoming traffic while screaming the surrealist manifesto at the top of your lungs. If you can muster up such guster, which I doubt, but try anyway,
When the purple onions arrive from their cribs in the subatomic chamber, attempt to be friendly, feign interest in their foreign drawl about motorcar racing and subterranean scuba diving bearing in mind all the while that they are putrid and must return to their realm of degeneration and decay so that they might not stink up your life too much. It's worth it in the end, trust the words of the forgotten fiddle salesman.
That is not to say that it will not last an eternity and several percentages thereof while you put on the headphones and say fuck all to all, say fuck you to the businessman and the schoolboy as they innocently plot their journey. Fucking scream at them that all is love and maybe somehow one or two of them might get the mirage, sing in their soul for half a moment, make you step out of your ego trip.
TUMBLEWEAVE through your day. Collect detritus through static electricity and plow fields of old clover, the ambient shit is over there in the left aisle, the forgotten whirlpool of deceased rocking chairs.
Put your beats in this basket and crush them with your toes. Looks like some messy gory disaster don't it. Tweak. Asylum of fools in the south corner and framework of pulsation driving the geese into the outer chamber. If it was a modular synthetic FM additive envelope filter charging plutonic jiro-beams into your soup, you better eat it. Best that way.

TUMBLEWEAVE both tumble and weave. In your soup as you taste the salty bits. And just put it in a fucking blender anyway, cause all is malevolent compassion from the bits of nothing that formulate the little jiggly seeds of the strings.
DEMON SQUEEZE might alter you in some way, but it might not. When you listen through speakers, the sound that comes out reverberates through the air-space of the chamber in which those speakers are placed, so there is likely to be some sort of ambient effect. When listened through headphones or earphones, the bulge pops out.
It's a big fucking bulge, it might even infiltrate your pants. Scary as that may be, the bulge is like a saucer of milk to your kitten. The ambiance was fed to the dinosaurs and the moon came howling at your door. You were like Fuck Off Moon, but the dinosaurs begged for seconds and were relieved of their urinal duty. Then finally the foxes came to shine. They shone so brightly in your eyes that you suffered an attack of tunnel vision, and at the far side of that vivid pulsating light was a spectrograph, indicating all states past present future sideways through the 11th dimension and inner that could be represented by your garden variety hardware store navigation system, suffering from poor radio wave transmission and dying batteries. Which is quite a lot anyway.
When TUMBLEWAEVE roll lazily into your town, you'll be like, well there goes another day, another whisp in the breeze for old life of mine here that trundles forth from the plasma drip goo of civilization, and the frontiers of everglade spaces where frogs chirp to the trees and we all feel like getting high. Another wave upon the ripple in the pool of undermined minted pure crave sanitation veins of gas electric septic drainage other concrete yo mama gosh gosh gosh hitherto unfolded paper pears with wholes sticking out of their reptile crotches, crocheting to the beat of a million synthopedes.

WTF Quality: A nightmarish series of visions

Lifespan: 2008 -

Country: Brazil



Enter the nightmare

the story about a man who enters other dimensions while sleeping and encounters worlds of unspeakable horror.

perdido has graced the halls of WTF for some time, assuming the moniker of "Ghouls'n Eggs", assumedly a reference to Edith the egg lady from Pink Flamingos (in his avatar), and ... ghouls, which are like ghosts I think. It all makes sense.

With the computer paint style cover art drawn by LFC, the fucking crazy lucas himself, a longtime friend and fellow of perdido, master of fucked up sick ass imaginary worlds of hellish chaos and cartoonish fantasy terror, how can this possibly go wrong??? It can't!!!

Traces of horror film ambience, dark winds, ghostly howls, chilling wind, mist, haunted groves, clinking bones, burning synapses, piles of shit, horrendous demons the mere sight of whom arouses an intense spasm of vomiting, decrepit souls in a constant state of hopeless despair and decay, endless evil lurking around every corner and behind your shoulder, doom doom and a hyper-accelerated sucking vortex of doom doom and doom, zero gravity, a skeletal hallucination, a heavy weighing layer upon layer of the approaching of something much more hideous than death itself, and the heavily approaching pounding mathematical juggernaut who enslaves you into a beyond infinite nay multi-infinite matrix of impossible tasks which if failed will be duly punished with the cruelest and most insidious infliction of pure pain the likes of which you even in your worst moments in this mortal coil could never have imagined, all permeate.

perdido is something of a techno wizard, which is apparent as an influence in this music. There are no beats, no hooks, no buildups, no breakdowns, no typical trappings of a techno artist, but the sounds themselves are the workings of an electronic musician. It starts with the quarter note bass octaves on the first track, "lullaby for old people," a very synthy techno in an otherwise dark atmospheric track. With the almost whispered, childlike, close-miked semi-moronic vocals, we are primed for the fucked up journey that is to come. In other tracks, there is a layering of percussiver rhythms, as in the deep throbbing booms, muted train-like drones, and insect-like click-rhythms of "reaching for the abyss." Every track is such a hidden mechanical chamber in a labyrinthine dungeon of a very fucked up universe.

WTF music is very excited that this album has been made specifically for our freaky ass website. A great WTF blessing of madness upon us. perdido, from his haunted crib of egg loving, creates nightmarish monsters. "Monsters at my Door" has a narrative feel from track to track, each tale connecting fragments of a disturbed mind, lost and without a trace of hope.

Then we wake up.

WTF Quality: A Christian noise album inspired by an unintended radio signal

Lifespan: 2010 -

Country: USA



My brothers and sisters in Christ,

A most grave and disturbing matter has come to my attention that we must together face with the steadfast belief in the power of our Heavenly Father, for it is this unshakable faith that forms our rock, our foundation which will always prevail in the face of adversity.

A young fellow, a troubled soul and reckless heathen by the name of J. Gonken has desecrated our divine sanctuary and our covenant. Our church and our congregation has been ridiculed and cursed, and it is now our responsibility to evangelize and set straight he who has trespassed against us.

Some days ago, my friends, I received a copy of an audio recording, a CD bearing the name of "Mechanical Christ in my Basement." And it is full of hate, sin, and the vilest sounds that I personally have ever heard in the entire time that I have walked this Earth. It is satanic and poison, and I dare not let anyone else hear it for fear that it may be heard by some of the impressionable youngsters among us. The sounds themselves are too many and too wicked to mention, but I will provide you with a small depiction of their venomous effect.

Imagine the howling of a demon, a damned soul. Picture and hear in your mind, for a moment, the flickering sun-hot flames of hell. Imagine the unspeakable depravity: a horde of writhing serpents, the clash and grind of chains and whips, a bacchanalian orgy of sinful pleasure, a dark mass held in a luciferian hall of worship. This is what I see when I heard this CD, something I can only refer to as an insult to God's beautiful gift of music. It is anti-music, just as the devil is anti-god. The sounds grind against the ears, damage the senses, undoubtedly and maliciously inflicting wounds to the ears and to the soul. They may not be the loudest or heaviest sounds, and believe me, I know what heavy metal rock and roll can sound like: awful repetitive pounding infantile hateful nonsense music, but this heavy metal music I speak of at least uses musical instruments and some semblance of melody and rhythm, thus it can at least be called a distorted form of music. But this Gonken CD I hold here in my hand, this atrocity, can not even rightfully be called music. Honestly folks, I think at times it may be the voice of an evil machine, a satanic computer. It is unwholesome and unnatural. I couldn't listen past the second track - after that I had to skip through them. All the same. All nonsense. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

But not only that, my friends, not only is this the most offensive kind of sound imaginable, but this man who calls himself Gonken, this minion of satan, has stolen our voice. It is true. He has somehow eavesdropped in on our services and recorded the sound of my sermons, unbeknownst to us all. Perhaps he is among us at this very moment! [hushed gasping and curious gaping from the congregation]. Yea, one must never underestimate the deception of the dark lord of hell. He can assume any form, and he can blend into any situation, even in the holiest of earthly places. Thus we are never safe, never entirely free from his grasp. And he will tempt you to a life of sin, and that is why we must resist. By capturing the sound from this hall of worship and splicing in with his anti-music, he has committed a most grievous offense against us. It is a spit in the face of our heavenly father. As followers of the teachings of Christ I urge you to search your souls and pray for this demented creature.

Now we as Christians must search our hearts and ask ourselves - can such a soul truly be redeemed? Can we evangelize and convert him, show him the light and the truth of God's eternal love as expressed through the death of his only son? Can he open his heart and beg for forgiveness for his sins, cleanse his soul, and be baptized in the holy waters? Or is he too far gone, forever a spawn of the devil? For his transformation must be perfectly complete, otherwise he will surely slip into the lake of fire with the other tortured souls.

I say that if he does indeed walk among us, we must fear him, we must not be caught by his clutches, for even if we read the most enlightening passages and convey God's love, surely he will laugh at us and mock us as he has with this CD. Do not let him corrupt us, we are the pillars of the house of God, and we do not shake. If he is to willingly convert and confess to his innumerable sins, we are to accept him as a brother in Christ. Notwithstanding such circumstances, he is to be banished from our sight, that he may never set foot or microphone upon these premises again.

In God's name we pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, let us be strong in our faith and steadfast in our ways. We pray that you through your infinite wisdom can shine your light of truth upon this lost soul who calls himself J. Gonken.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

-Pastor Jeemobonus


[WTFmusic.org admin's editorial comment - This review by Pastor Jeemobonus does not reflect the opinions or religious views of this site's creators, which are basically magick ritual orgy. We follow up on this sermon with a review by Jeemobon]

As the legend goes,

The subject matter of this release was born of a freak accident. I was practicing for a noise show that I got asked to perform at and by doing so in my basement with a combination of a circuit bent keyboard and a cheap radio shack cable, I picked up a broadcast from a local church down the street. So I decided to record the practice set and this is what I got. The more I listened to it, the more I was drawn into it. A real modern miracle.

- J. Gonken

And what could be more fucked up than the bible, or firebrand preachers sermoning about the bible? In the glory of all that is WTF, now we have an album of noise music to accompany these crazy sermons.

From the opening track of the album we have this glorious teaching:

Wives submit yourselves into your own husbands as under the lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Yes, this is what many Christians believe. Soon the preacher's voice becomes morphed into a synth-like unintelligible garble. And it is this morphing that defines Gonken's personal aesthetic and response to this teaching. Mockery through noise. If we think about typical stereotypes of the kind of emotions usually conveyed by noise musicians, some of the first things that usually spring to mind: darkness, insanity, aggression, fuck you and fuck it all, despair. Of course, there is much more to electronic noises (just listen to some member music from this site), and Gonken is not simply a sneering, angry, raving hater who destroys the sermon with walls of destruction. A lot of it is done in a sparse way. The message is vaguely understandable and Gonken plays around the words with beeps, swoops, hisses, low tones, rumbles, and mini-drones. The voice bubbles out from muddled tones, becomes engulfed by static, is twisted and filtered, until it too is nothing more than noise. A fucked up quote from the bible to expand on this idea:

‘Look!’ he said. ‘The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.’

Genesis 11:6-7

The words became babble, like the sound of rain or insects. Meaningless. And God did it to confuse us! But Gonken does it to mock, to play, to have fun with it because it's all so weird and WTF. To the uncompromising noise musician, all sound is available to be used, as sound, to create music. But to the hardcore Christians, everything fits into the perspective of Christ, as the quote about wives illustrates, and just as is mentioned in the last track on the album: "and so this love has to be a sincere love." Believe with all your heart and be saved. Another sermon quote from the album:

the word of god declares that the way of sin is [???] that there is going to be damnation for your sins, and that cannot be mutated, that cannot be changed, that cannot be set aside in any way ...

I will interject at this point that when I grew up I was taken to church every sunday and taught this exact lesson - that there will be hell to pay for your sins. And of course the church has used this line for centuries to scare people into following and believing. There it is, again and again, right until this modern age and doubtless into the future. There are all kinds of Christians, a rainbow of beliefs, some very loose and vague, like the universalist unitarians who allow total room for personal interpretation and barely even mention Jesus at all (I played organ for one of those churches for a while). And then there are the ultra-conservatives who seem to carry out every action as if their life is dictated by Christ's teachings and the bible. The sermons on "Mechanical Christ" would fall into this category. (Also let's not forget the nuts who hand out pamphlets about the coming apocalypse, and rave on and on about the evils in the world). Oh wait, those nuts who rave on the street and the conservative well-dressed clean cut baptist minister preach the same thing! Also quoted in the album:

And in this time when we're living, when we're right near the end and we see that marvelous statement of Revelations ...

So in everything we do, from our daily family lives and in all our activities, we must follow Christ. Because if we give in to a life of sin, we will be damned to hell. Also, time for this world is running out, and soon we will all be judged. But what does Gonken have to say about all this? "People get too wrapped up in what they believe is right."

Which you can see in the world around us very easily. Politicians and people in power throughout history and even today hold these very beliefs, take them very seriously, and take these beliefs to the extreme of holy wars, and other bullshit like teaching creationism in science class. Well shit, that's debatable, isn't it, there's no proof for evolution! Right, that's why we have so many religious freaks in the world ...

Eventually as the album progresses, Gonken's music takes over, but still the many appearances of the sermon pervade the whole listening experience, and it seems that they are lurking behind the textures and more thickly layered sections. As stated earlier, it's all noise. "Mechanical Christ In My Basement" strikes the chord of absurdist resonance within the zealous voice of Christian doctrine.

The album will be made available for download shortly.

I leave you with some fucked up quotes from the bible, many gleaned from other community message boards, and the particularly useful wtfbible.org

-Jeemobon

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses

Ezekiel 23:20

If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:20-21



Women should learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.

1 Timothy 2: 11-15 



So Judah told Onan, “Go and sleep with your brother’s widow; it’s the duty of a brother-in-law to keep your brother’s line alive.” But Onan knew that the child wouldn’t be his, so whenever he slept with his brother’s widow he spilled his semen on the ground so he wouldn’t produce a child for his brother. God was much offended by what he did and also took his life.

Genesis 38:8-10



If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.

Leviticus 20:13



If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a direct result, the owner must be punished. But he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Exodus 21:20-21



If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man, you must cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 



David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented the full number to the king so that he might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

1 Samuel 18:27 



Don’t have sex with your father’s wife. That violates your father.

Leviticus 18:8



From there Elisha went up to Bethel. On the way some boys came out of the city and made fun of him. They said to him, “Go up too, you baldhead! Go up too, you baldhead!” Elisha turned around, looked at them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two mother bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys to pieces.

2 Kings 2:23-24

If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death--the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:23-24

This review is timely to coincide with the household objects marathon on wtfmusic, as many of the performers on here, yup, make music with objects.

This music is not the highest on the WTF meter. It ranks mid-level. What we call "experimental" these days has become familiar to many with a taste for new expressions in music. Without fucking our minds too much, the music is nevertheless forward looking, not backward, adventurous, bold, and at many points, highly strange. As a whole it is a nicely packaged work, very satisfying to listen to, tasteful, never offensive. It definitely belongs on this site because it is still well outside the realms of what is normally considered normal. And we like stuff that is not normal. This is the 11th volume(I think); having been informed of CK volume 10 by another wtfmusic member and understanding the quality of music put into these, I will be sure to check back next time a new one is compiled.

Since there are 22 tracks, I will now undergo the task of briefly introducing each artist featured in this volume of Classwar Karaoke to curious readers and listeners. The Classwar Karaoke site can be found here:

http://classwarkaraoke.bandcamp.com/

A brief summary of each track is provided. I have dug up some extra details and links for each of these artists to create a mini profile for each. In the process of doing so I noticed many connections between them via various labels and groups.

These artists are all basically European and American, representing improvisational and electro-acoustic composition styles of western music, each with a unique personal flavor.

In conclusion, a short meditation on the whole of this compilation.
Classwar - a political statement, recognizing the inequalities in society and the struggles of the weak to resist being stomped upon by the elite classes.
Karaoke - music for anyone, average people with no other outlets for musical expression.
Together, a statement for the advancement of culture, not through intelligencia or snobbery, but coming from the ranks of real down to earth people. The promotion and dispersion of the outer unfamiliar fringes of music.

Or a meaningless title that just sounds cool. Doesn't matter - just listen.

-Jeemobon

Death By Horsecock - 5-MeO-DMT

Artist: Death by Horsecock WTF Album: 5-MeO-DMT Tags: psychedelic, drone, noise, space, ambient WTF Quality: metaphorically speaking, a heavy trip on a powerful drug Lifespan: 2010 - Country: France The three long track offering known as 5-MeO-DMT from a most absurdly named band, Death By Horsecock, is full of mystical, wonderful, strange and terrible sounds which slowly eat into your cortex and open up all those bound up receptors. Obviously the title of the album is a powerful drug, one which induces profound journey into consciousness experiences. The band name, I'm not sure. But to listen to this music in the background is totally different from fully immersing oneself in it. Take a little dive, and get into the realm of "psychedelic." Now I'm not talking about fuzz guitars, or day-glo paint, or tribal space jams. Have a look at this list and check out some of the artists listed here: http://www.terrascope.co.uk/OurMusicPages/ourmusic.htm If you didn't bother to check, just know that it begins with Acid Mothers Temple and ends with Zombies. Fuzz guitars, sitars, songs about dreaming and the mind and flower girls, and day-glo are all in there. And yet psychedelic is much more than that, and the list includes many esoteric items, such as Six Organs of Admittance, Pelt, and Shalibi Effect (which has been recently removed as the list is ever-changing). And Horsecock could fit right in line with this music. What makes something so quintessentially psychedelic, that it can incorporate rock songs, folk melodies, instrumental ragas, free noisy drones, jazzy funk, and so many diverse sounds? Drugs? Maybe drugs. Listen to the music and agree that it is well suited for an acid trip, and perhaps that is all that is needed to pass the test. Or the musicians themselves were tripping. The term psychedelic is derived from the Greek words ψυχή (psyche, "soul") and δηλοῦν (deloun, "to manifest"), translating to "mind-manifesting" The term was first coined as a noun in 1957 by psychiatrist Humphry Osmond as an alternative descriptor for hallucinogenic drugs in the context of psychedelic psychotherapy. Seeking a name for the experience induced by LSD, Osmond consulted Aldous Huxley. Huxley suggested the term "phanerothyme," from the Greek terms for "to show" and "spirit." In a letter to Osmond, he wrote: To make this mundane world sublime, Take half a gram of phanerothyme To which Osmond responded: To fathom Hell or soar angelic, Just take a pinch of psychedelic Back when psychedelic drugs were becoming widely used in the US, they were all stoned out and all like, dude, we can take this modal free jazz stuff and space out on it with these blues rock riffs, and get into this mantra trance thing and totally transform the consciousness of the nation with this stuff. They were on LSD. Horsecock is a much heavier trip. Although the effects are very short term, the peak experience is extreme and pronounced. Listen really carefully my fellow traveler. Are your ears taking in all of the sounds? Can you hear the past and the future? Are you feeling fucked up? The trip is constantly taking us deeper and deeper into the seed of consciousness, unfolding until our frame of reference has shifted and the music stops. Characteristic of each of the three tracks is a core drone, a vibration around which all else circles and fluctuates. However it will slowly change imperceptibly and subtly. It doesn't even seem to be there. But as we are listening closely, that center is gravity holding the chaotic and sporadic outer frequencies in their orbits. Expanding and contracting, solidifying and liquefying, mutating, leading, driving, rolling in endless cycles, fragmenting outward and inward, beaming with the eternal. But each of our experiences is unique, each of us is a distinct lens through which the universal consciousness shines. I cannot put this feeling, this transcendence into words. It is for you to find, in the dark, with your own ears. -Jeemobon Download the full album here : http://www.mediafire.com/?1gxjyj3mmlj Buy cdr from french label Et Pourtant Ca Avait Bien Commencé : http://etpourtantlabel.blogspot.com

I'm very proud to introduce a fascinating artist, a treasure hidden in the depths of London: Emmanuel Lorien Spinelli. A man of intriguing stories and unique approaches in unraveling them.
He's involved with various musical projects but today I would like to look at one specific project of his: "Lands and Genotypes".
With this particular project he combines soundscapes using objects and field recordings with the musical qualities in the inflections of speech to get to the heart of the perception of identities and the problems that are involved.
"Lands and Genotypes" is an act of voyeurism. Or as Emamanuel prefers to call it, "Ecoutism" - voyeurism with your ears.

Each piece is centered around a person, or a subject (or group of subjects), and built from there.
Interviews of the subject are conducted and recorded to be used as material for the piece.
Field recordings are then made of places and objects that relate to the subject.
Spinelli helps shed some light on this process, "Each sound must have a relationship, in one way or another, to the people interviewed during the composition process, and all these sounds are part of their sonorous environments, their personal soundscape. Prior to the field recordings, I always ask my interviewees to map the different locations where they usually spend most of their time and, when appropriate, sounds they remember from those places. I usually record much more material in those locations to capture other sounds they might not be aware of and seemed less obvious in order to highlight other sound-marks that are part of the sound-subjects' surroundings in a more detailed fashion."

What follows is an interview I conducted with Mr. Spinelli that starts off explaining the editing process of "Lands and Genotypes" - after the subjects and the field recordings and objects have been recorded.
It quickly sets deeper into the mind of Emmanuel Lorien Spinelli and the subjects that make up his music.
It's a beautiful and thought-provoking story and one worth reading.

So, just relax with a cup of coffee and throw on some "Lands and Genotypes" (all tracks available for free streaming here -http://www.last.fm/music/Emmanuel+lorien+spinelli/Lands+and+Genotypes) in the background and enjoy the interview.

onionpalac: Could you run through your approach in constructing your "Lands and Genotypes" pieces?
Emmanuel: Once I've got all the material, interviews and field recordings, I do two things.
I draw a map from memory where actual locations get mixed up with imaginary or sensual concrete sounds. I often use the sort of inside/outside concept. Then I spend most of my time chopping up voices. The objects that belong to the inside, like a gas pipe, air conditioner, kitchen appliances etc. and the subjects' personal objects are mixed with the field recordings of specific locations that carry meaning for my subject, such as place of birth, hang outs etc...
As for the vocal edits, I usually create a bunch of folders organized by themes for example, "ducks" or "visit to Auschwitz" (used in "Anseriformes Twins"). Then I use some randomized playlist like winamp to create random patterns and see what kind of strange associations the different "bits of interview" can convey. This is my basic techniques for editing the voices. I am very influenced by Cut-up, William Burroughs, Antonin Artaud and the surrealists poets.
onionpalac: Do you feel that listeners should understand the background of these pieces to fully appreciate them?
Emmanuel: Yes and no, indeed.
Yes because it helps make sense of what may seem abstract at first glance.
And no because I don't consider people stupid and if they don't to know the story behind it, they can create their own, which is very often even more relevant.
Nevertheless it is an unresolved question.
onionpalac: If you don't supply the background then why go through the whole process that you do? You can make it all up instead, no?
Emmanuel: It is an interesting question.
It is a necessary condition. But the process has to be truthful to have an interest for me.
It is important to me because it is a process that informs myself about myself as well.
onionpalac: Are you a voyeur yourself?
Emmanuel: YES! I am an ECOUTEUR/voyeur!
onionpalac: Do you have a background in voyeurism? Are there other voyeur activities you have been involved with?
Emmanuel: No, not really. Actually to be a voyeur you have to enjoy watching and unfortunately I don't.
onionpalac: Haha - you enjoy listening . . .
Emmanuel: Yep, indeed!
onionpalac: Could you talk about transitions? How one event or scene blends into another.
Emmanuel: Well, it is a difficult territory because I am a workaholic. I can spend up to a year and half to mix the first version of a piece. The "Anseriformes Twins" piece took 3 years.
So yeah, transitions are essentials. I can spend days on a couple of cross fades with a bunch of sounds. To be honest, I can spend a whole day trickling the button of one of my children toys in preparation for an improv.
onionpalac: The reason I ask is because I listen for transitions in music very deeply - and in music such as yours I think it's a key ingredient but you pull it off really well.
Emmanuel: Thanks, I agree. I always pay close attention to this these sort of things in other people's music as well. When a transition sucks, you loose the magic.
onionpalac: Which brings me to ask you about influences.
Emmanuel: I have two kinds of influences: on one side composers like R. Murray Schafer, John Levack Drever, Annea Lockwood, of course Jean Luc Goddard and Tarkovsky for film, and sound poets like Kurt Schwitters, the Fluxus movement, etc...
And on the other side, of course Cage, Merzbow, John Zorn (huge...) and all the free improv freaks - the obscure and delightful!
onionpalac: Do you think of film theory while piecing your work together?
Emmanuel: Not at all. Except maybe Goddard and his schizo-narrative.
The reason I say I don't think of film theory is that I don't think in terms of narrative, story, construction of meaning but in terms of "opening a wound" or maybe "a womb" where
meaning happens no matter what. I just try to highlight the paradoxical, playful, and dark moments that occur during one's self account. I think in musical terms even with the spoken words.
onionpalac: But it's all related to the subject - the person you're wrapping everything around.
Emmanuel: Yes, of course. And that's the magic thing about it. Because all these fragmented elements relate to the same subject (or group of subjects), I don't have to think about narrative.
onionpalac: And that in itself is the narrative, story and meaning.
Emmanuel: Yes, you're right. That is the narrative, in a way . . .
onionpalac: It's up to the listener.
Emmanuel: Yes, that's why I call it opening a wound because then the listener has to stitch the whole thing together on his or her own.
onionpalac: What made you come up with the whole Ecouteur and "Lands and Genotypes" idea?
Emmanuel: HA! The truth is I have been a stutterer all my life. When I was younger I used to start a sentence, get stuck, change my mind and say something else. When I started listening to people talking I realized I wasn't the only one and we all do it in a way. I just try to capture that in people. If you have this mental stutter that happens when you breathe, think and talk at the same time, then you're not that different from me.
onionpalac: Because of this you took detailed notice in speech.
Emmanuel: Yes, I had to learn to listen and reproduce.
onionpalac: Are you bilingual?
Emmanuel: Yes, French and English.
I was brought up in France but my mum (who had been brought up in the UK) always spoke to me in English. But she died in 1983. That's partly why i moved to the UK, to know more about myself. Also, she was of Jewish decent, which i didn't know until about ten years ago. So i've spoken both languages all my life but English was kind of kept hidden inside. I often realize that I know certain words without understanding where I learned them from. They're just there inside.
onionpalac: I ask because when learning another language as an adult it can open up the subtleties of speech in one's mother tongue. I wonder if that had any impact on your thinking.
Emmanuel: Yes, indeed. A huge impact. And, in fact, the core of my research is based on the idea of trans-identity in foreigners living in London.
onionpalac: "Learn a new language and get a new soul."  ~Czech Proverb
Emmanuel: Of Course, and it is also having a double conscience. It is a treasure.
onionpalac: So, you would say that the root of your research is from being aware of your uncontrolled stutter and extending that onto how others do it - be it a lot less?
Emmanuel: I guess it's maybe not the root of my research but it dictated a big part of my aesthetic and process. The root of my research is really about the perception of identities, trying to understand what's at play during the process of expressing oneself, and it is about practice. How to use all these elements in order to make music.
onionpalac: So, what is the root of your study in the perception of identities?
Emmanuel: It's a long story but in a nut shell: it all started with a fascination for the stupidity of what I read in the news in France and when I discovered elements of my past that stayed hidden in my family because it was considered shameful. I realized part of my family where spitting pork under the tables at the restaurant to look like everyone else. So, I guess I try to make sense of all this crap and the roots of my research come from the fundamental curiosity and this puzzling experience. So much is hidden in all of us.
onionpalac: How do you choose your subjects?
Emmanuel: The truth is I don't. They are all average Joes.
onionpalac: Don't they ever get freaked out in the process of you in a way stalking them?
Emmanuel: Yeah, sometimes . . .
onionpalac: Yeah - you're getting your nose all up in their business. Has anyone abruptly just called it off?
Emmanuel: Yes, that happens quite regularly but usually early in the process.
onionpalac: Do you have any preferences for your subjects?
Emmanuel: No, not really but I tend to get attracted to people with strong political backgrounds. It gives me something to start with. But it deviates quickly after that.
onionpalac: What are the reactions of the subjects when they hear the final product - the music?
Emmanuel: They are often surprised by the things they said and don't always realize that the whole thing is edited. I guess the best is when they react to the sounds and recognize the places. Some of them get quite emotional, like the old lady who cried when she heard the harbor sounds or amused when the twins heard the sound of the washing machine and the lady from the shop swearing. Their mum was staring in the void when listening to the ducks and said, "You know, I know these ducks." I said, "Well, your sons said their first words at that location." She looked like she had a moment of revelation and she started laughing. She was great, very sweet.
onionpalac: Thats a great story - the after effect!
Emmanuel: Yep, these are often the best moments.
onionpalac: So, you sit down with the subjects for their first listen?
Emmanuel: Yes, I normally bring my laptop, put a big pair of headphone on their ears and play a stereo reduction of the piece . It kind of isolates them so I don't get punched half way through!
onionpalac: How do you approach your subjects to do this? What do you say? I can't imagine . . .
Emmanuel: I don't say anything in particular. It depends on the person. Some are very sensitive and others don't give a rat's ass. Maybe they just think they'll be famous.
onionpalac: Britain's Got Talent!
Emmanuel: Can you imagine!
onionpalac: "Do you mind if I poke around your life and record everything about you?" kind of thing?
Emmanuel: Yeah man, "I'm that freak everyone is talking about! I'm featured in a fucked up experimental piece!"
onionpalac: Haha! Really, I think it's nuts how you get these people to agree!
Emmanuel: Nutters I tell you!
onionpalac: So, would you do it?
Emmanuel: Do what?
onionpalac: Would you be a subject for your own work?
Emmanuel: That's THE question!!
onionpalac: There it is!
Emmanuel: Well, yes i would. Obviously, I can't do it myself.
And yes, I'm terrified to do it.
onionpalac:  You would need a complete stranger to do it.
Emmanuel: You're right, but who? I need someone who understands the work.
onionpalac:  Maybe one of our readers out there can volunteer to take on such as task. You can be sure that we'll be following it the whole way through.
And on that note I believe we can wrap it up.
Thanks Emmanuel, it's been a pleasure.
Emmanuel: Same here. Till next time!



Please take time to investigate these engaging pieces of strangers' lives.
Step into the soul of someone through aural transportation.
These pieces are true experiences in themselves.
They can enlighten and cast discovery upon yourself and the life around you.

And while you're at it please dive into the rest of Emmanuel Lorien Spinelli's music from his website. He has a lot of it and it may seem overwhelming.

Tribalmazoot - Petit à petit l'oiseau bouffe ses petits

Artist: Tribalmazoot

WTF Album: Petit à petit l'oiseau bouffe ses petits

Tags: Circus, progressive, demented vocals, electronic, tribal, noise

WTF Quality: a hyperactive freakout of evil dance carnival music

Country: France



Charles Baudelaire's 8 bit opium dream starts. The Parisian gentlemen practice
their didgeridoos on top of Eiffel tower shaped stilts. Rimbaud's ghost howls
obscenities at the people who pass by. They know better than to talk to him
and instead chase the shadows of their children up the steps of Montmartre.
Photographs are taken and the smiling tourists lose their minds and wallets.
The cafe is full as Hemingway teaches Joyce how to play pong and how to read
"Le Petit Prince" in his nuclear shower. What of my shower head? Cry the
forgotten portrait painters as they try to sell imitations of Cézanne's still-
life scenes.
And all this is accentuated by the music of a strange gentleman named:
Tribalmazoot. He stands on the street corner and conducts his environment
forcing it to make the sounds that he dreams and imagines. The police are not
amused but he turns them into accordions and plays a melody that is both
infectious and challenging. Cars race by as their engines churn out ghostly
donkey rhythms. Whores throw themselves under the vehicles just so the funeral
bands have something to play for. But the band never learned how to play
funeral standards....
The album he delivers is entitled: Petit à petit l'oiseau bouffe ses
petits. What exactly is this album? If one is to seek an understanding from a
piece of art in any medium they will be ultimately disappointed. The same
applies if they expect something from or of it. What Tribalmazoot offers is
simply a large serving of his imagination. It is honest and pure. It sounds
French: but it is far removed from any traditional French music one has ever
heard. It is bold in its style & soaked in the sounds of the artist's culture
yet pushed so far forward it is barely distinguishable.

Bacillus and Noise Research. In the albums of Bacillus, long sweeping sound panoramas drift on through suspended moments. We travel through oceans and float above the waves we dive through forests, sit in stillness, then run through the trees, zig zag, return, lift up, and rustle through treetops we enter abandoned factories inhabited by ghosts who slowly and imperceptibly wind up the machinery to unleash their rusty groans, the power flickers on and off, wind blows through, rats scurry by we are teleported into alien crafts and hear the telepathic language of beings who exist in the rift between dimensions. Spinning, low glow in darkness, traveling at immense speeds yet simultaneously stationary we watch ages of history roll beyond to the tune of cybotic angels' voices we walk down endless train tunnels, a barely comprehensible woman's voice reading off nonsense through the intercom system fields of crystalline rainbow flowers priest mages in long dark robes, faces shrouded, reciting incantations through the electricity in their fingertips, as they walk in circles foreign planetary habitats In the music of noise research, we enter the sounds, into the realm where sonic vibrations and electricity merge. the sound of pulses cycling through a circuit, different switches, amplitudes, wave forms feedback loops of micro-frequencies the static chaos of twisted frayed wires sending the signal in all directions, back around, splitting, joining, leaping, and dying. a magnetic tape, wrinkled and warped, speed erratic, blurbing through vaguely recorded sounds the synthesizer's guts revealed and subtly prodded radio waves, sent through space, into satellites, bouncing between towers, striking antennae, all in a moment the echoes of deep space emulated in the trans-dimensional winding of strings and quarks You can find Bacillus and Noise Research music here: http://www.archive.org/details/FirstCircuit  First Circuit (on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/CollapseEpem073  Collapse EP (on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/SlowlyImploding  Slowly Imploding (on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/LithiumBurnem074  Lithium Burn (split with Fonik on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/NoiseResearchI  Noise Research I (on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/NoiseResearchIi  Noise Research II (on EM) http://www.archive.org/details/noise_research_experiment_III  Noise Research III (on Bivouac) http://www.archive.org/details/emp064  Noise Research IV (on EMP) http://www.archive.org/details/ca347_gdnr  Ocean Epicure (with Graham Dunning on Clinical Archives) http://www.archive.org/details/evoluon_amp045  Evoluon EP (AMP Recs) - Jeemobon
