Title:
The Absence of Essence
Label:
ARBOR
Format:
2X7"
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
ARBOR 099EP
"Carlos Giffoni's heavy synthesizer work recalls the crushing, massiveness of early power electronics. Completely consuming the air around it with heavy vibrations and total deprivation. These four tracks rip holes through the sonic barriers, loud and powerful but with entrancing subtleties and discreet builds. The nature of the 7" format does not harm Giffoni's work, which normally exists in extended lengths; instead very succinct and unwavering compositions result, creating four vignettes of his sterile industrial zones. As the person responsible for No Fun Productions and the No Fun Fest, this Brooklyn transplant's presence in the current progression of the genre is undeniable. In an edition of 400 2x7" (one white and one black) sets in gatefold sleeves with art by Maya Miller of Heavy Tapes/Religious Knives."

Catalog #:
HOS 253CD
"After developing his calling card on
Adult Life
and
The Eternal
releases, Carlos Giffoni defines his signature with compositional electronic music. Melding the analog drone colliding tonality of the past expressions and inducing minimalist sequencer details, a pure electronic landscape is cultivated that nurtures the formation a man makes in stepping from the mysteries of youth into adulthood."

"
Welcome Home
is less of a homecoming and more of a coming out for Carlos Giffoni, a highly respected and active NYC collaborator who typically shares the stage and records with the likes of Jim O'Rourke, Nels Cline, Chris Corsano, John Duncan, Massimo, Thurston Moore and many others. Giffoni has long been the experimentalist's experimentalist and now on
Welcome Home
, his first official full length, finds him center stage where he belongs. Like many of the great electronic artists Giffoni builds his own custom electronics and programs his own software with which he's able to achieve sounds uniquely his own.
Welcome Home
, taking over three years to complete, is full of heavy electronic compositions using meticulously arranged microsound particles generated from Giffoni's unique equipment."

Title:
Zamuro
Label:
IMPORTANT RECORDS
Format:
LP
Price:
$21.00
Catalog #:
IMPREC 201LP
Limited edition of 300 copies in a heavy stock screen-printed jacket. "A Zamuro is a dark South American vulture of great size. Zamuro is also a solo composition piece for portable synth and analog filter. Side A on this LP is a live realization of this piece recorded at the Compound in San Francisco in 2006 (mastered by Lasse Marhaug). Carlos composed and performed this piece live on several tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan all throughout 2006 and 2007, if you saw him live in those two years, this is the piece he performed. This was the most complete version of it that made it to tape. Side B is a studio piece recorded live on a much larger modular synth, based around the same theme, but with structural and tonal variations not in the original composition. This is pure psychedelic electronic music. Cover illustration by Megan Ellis. Screenprinted at Monoroid."
