Title: Burned Bridges and Lost Loves
Label: BOTTROP-BOY (GERMANY)
Format: 2CD
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: BBOY 023CD
"Burned Bridges And Lost Loves is the second part of a project in which friends, colleagues and lovers were asked to remix the works of Chicago improvisation-trio TV Pow. Like its predecessor Power Friends and Devoted Lovers, a double-album that contains 29 remixes, the second and final installment also offers remixes of tracks that are mostly taken from TV Pow's album Friendship Patrol. Adding another 31 remixes, the total amount of remixes is now equal to the amount of tracks that feature on Friendship Patrol. On the original score TV Pow managed to create a evolving soundscape of unidentifiable field recordings, minimal electronics and serene ambient drones. It's no surprise that Friendship Patrol happened to be a grateful source for further exploration. Burned Bridges and Lost Loves, the second double-album of remixes, includes contributions from Tarentel, Tim Hecker, Sachiko M, Illusion of Safety, Wolf Eyes, Alva Noto, Stephan Mathieu, David Grubbs and Francisco Lopez, amongst many others. These contributors could be classified as a representative sample of currently influential artists in experimental and electronic music."

Catalog #: FIRE 022
"Further microscopic exploration from the Chicago based laptop trio of Brent Gutzeit, Michael Heartman and Todd A. Carter (who are also known for their solo projects Aerosapce Soundwise, Black Dot Corporation, and Wheaton Research). The first 3 inch release from the trio with new material fresh after their recent releases Mort Aux Vaches on Staalplaat and collaborative We Are Everyone In The Room with Icelandic Stilluppsteypa on Erstwhile Records. It is simply as the artist Jeff Koons said after he saw a recent performance of theirs: 'very fresh, very twisted and very good'."

"TV Pow is a trio of free improvisers first organized in Tokyo 1995 by Michael Hartman and Brent Gutzeit, and later joined by Todd Carter in the move to Chicago in 1996. They employ samplers, percussion, invented instruments, synthesizers, turntables, tape manipulation, computers and multi-speaker surround-sound systems in a constantly evolving soundscape of sparkling electronics, ambient drones, minimalist techno, and cinematic field recordings. Creating through live performance something both new and recombinant, TV Pow has toured throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States. TV Pow has recorded and/or performed with Otomo Yoshihide, Erik M, John Butcher, Town and Country, Sachiko M, James Plotkin, Stilluppsteypa, Gene Coleman and Ensemble Noamnesia, and Taku Sugimoto. TV Pow has releases on Gentle Giant Records, Box Media, Staalplaat, Erstwhile Records, and forthcoming a CD on Fire Inc. This recording at the Dutch VPRO studios was recorded during their first trip to Europe in 1999."
