DEMEGO 006CD
|
Melbourne-based electroacoustic improv duo Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox return with their second release for the Editions Mego label. This is a shredding album filled with Antipodean-blasted bliss that will get even the darkest of doomlords crawling out of their abyss of hatred and dancing like lunatics. End of Daze is a bulletproof testament to the duo's eight year history in the trenches of live electroacoustic music -- their messy, over-the top contact-miked beginnings now formed into a powerful and futuristic meta-language borrowing from the early electronic masters, with bizarre sound poetry, vintage synth festishism, the eternal patch tweak and good old fashioned Melbourne experimentalist brutality fueled by a poisonous love affair with sonic invention. A combination of materials forged live on stage alongside carefully considered studio mayhem, the audio contained on this disc is their finest vein-popping blend of chaos and order to date. Recorded beautifully by longtime engineer James "Wilkinsound" Wilkinson in Melbourne, combined with some sessions from WORM in Rotterdam, End of Daze promises a sonic range as wide as its genesis, complete with angry-boy artwork courtesy of Clare Cooper. Limited to 500 copies. Robin Fox: computer, controllers, ARP 2500, and programming. Anthony Pateras: computer, Doepfer A-100, voice, and Revox B-77.

EMEGO 080CD

This is the second release by the Melbourne-based electroacoustic improv duo Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox, and their first for the new Editions Mego label. Ectoplasmic drool, ruptured voice, multi-temporal cash, concerti for nostrils, hyperactive excursions into comedy and violence. An aural textbook of constant change presenting a multi-dynamic evaluation of what may be possible with what we have at this point. Equal parts postwar beard and modern patchnocrat, Flux Compendium sees two of Melbourne's hairiest sons nose dive and writhe in their unique take on sonic totalism, rising out of the muck with their kaleidoscopic best. Far from the lifeless plague of spacebartronica, they execute an electrified real-time homage to some of their favorite obsessions: breakneck pacing, vocal hysterics, blistering textures, bodily functions and dysfunctions. Eschewing their intuitive beginnings in favor of a more concréte punk miniature aesthetic, Flux Compendium is a gripping ride.

"Coagulate is the debut release from electroacoustic improvisation duo Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox. Utilizing a diverse array of approaches and forms, this album presents incredible real-time mutations of acoustic and electronic resources fused by a chaotic and physical improvisational language. From discarded piano frames to feedback to ingested microphones to vintage synthesizers, resources are combined, deconstructed, developed and devastated through both linear and non-linear trajectories. Oscillating between the extreme vocals of 'voxerratum', the delicate feedback mass of 'Recombinant', and the pianistic submersion of '44° Splinter', Coagulate offers an essential document of contemporary improvisational practice exemplifying ear-bending relationships between the acoustic and electronic."
