Monorail Trespassing主宰者でありPedestrian DepositやEveryday Loneliness名義でも活動しているJonathan Borgesによるハーシュノイズ名義VasculaeでのCDリリース。メロディは一切皆無の潔いハーシュノイズ作品です。

"Full circle. A new project from Jonathan Borges (Pedestrian Deposit, Everyday Loneliness, Emaciator, etc). After several years of operating in more subtle areas of experimental music, Vasculae is a return to form; sharp noise composition with emphasis on layering, texture, purity, and 'natural dynamics,' as opposed to the rapid-fire cut-ups of the past. Elements of wall noise, crackle, and 90's style raw blast are fused in these three tracks pulled from two years of intermittent 5-7 hour recording sessions. No melodic ambient interludes, no tape loops, no instruments -- only the sources of pure noise textures."

Josh's audio work has remained something of an unrecognized oddity within the American underground of outsider art and experimental music from which it originates as well as beyond. Distributed through limited, home-dubbed and self-released cassettes, Peterson's blend of spoken-word and sound collage has resulted in an intriguing, singular body of consistently evolving yet recognizable material.

Often dealing in themes of mental illness, social paranoia and tragedy, they make for often-challenging and sometimes macabre, even somber listening. Distinct from the usual applications of such themes in so-called \"extreme music,\" however, we see a nuanced approach in Peterson's work, expressing a benign puzzlement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand detached critical eye. Forgoing typical empty-gestured tendencies toward glorification and shock, we instead follow mystery-like narratives into fugue states amplified by our own relationships with the isolation and disenfranchisement imbued even in the most banal, mundane aspects of day-to-day life. Through dispassionate, often monotonous recitations of his own blunt prose, found texts and news reports, as well as the delusions of conspiracy theorists and pop psychologists alike, Peterson's body of work feels like a series of surreal, unsettling and darkly humourous audio essays on modern life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sonic backdrop for these readings deepens the diaristic, observational quality of the text, as Peterson's distinctive cross-section of experimental music styles and techniques is captured in low-fidelity, portable-cassette-recorder style. Here, the minimalist austerity of early '80s Whitehouse and Maurizio Bianchi lends crude timbres to a framework closer to that of \"non-musical\" sound artists like Graham Lambkin and Jeph Jerman, where compositional strategy is concerned.

However, I do not see this work as a sentimental tribute, not one iota. It only pricks that DNA from the inside-out. In fact, knowing the artist’s collaborations with dancers this seems more akin to understanding the fluidity of bodies in movement, in space. His deployment of static, both near and far, as electric and as ephemeral, seem not only on point, but at times imposing.

By combining the glassy synths of 70’s sci-fi cult classic film soundtracks with a dynamic set of scaling, diacritical markings and bloated effects it becomes a double take. It’s lurid and dank, unlike anything in his discography, leaving you hanging in a suspended sense of wait. Think about the rings of Saturn, slightly teetering, pendulous, in the darkest cosmos — and then simply add transmissions an untapped species from a far-off galaxy that are nearly impossible to decode by human means.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- TJ Norris \/\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow ugc\" href=\"http:\/\/toneshift.net\/\"\u003eToneshift.net\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Seth Nehil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Opal Tapes\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-01-25T08:39:00+09:00","created_at":"2021-01-17T11:07:32+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["cd","new","opal tapes"],"price":148000,"price_min":148000,"price_max":148000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":37708704252069,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Seth Nehil \/\/ Skew \/ Flume CD","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":148000,"weight":90,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew1.jpg?v=1610849256","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew2.jpg?v=1610849256"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew1.jpg?v=1610849256","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":16114066456741,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew1.jpg?v=1610849256"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew1.jpg?v=1610849256","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":16114066489509,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew2.jpg?v=1610849256"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/skew2.jpg?v=1610849256","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ人サウンドアーティストSeth Nehilが過去にEPとしてリリースしていた2作をCDにコンパイルしOpalがリリース。ノンビートテクノ〜サウンドコラージュ10曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=858796960\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=1121608494\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/opaltapes.com\/album\/skew-flume\"\u003eSkew \/ Flume by Seth Nehil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Skew opens with its title track, there’s this edgy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e collision where a delusional set of broken voice samples (courtesy: Katy Kanfer) – a juncture in which the rubber hits the road.
