Candlesnuffer
aka
David Brown
is one of the lynchpins of Australian experimental music, a man whose discography and involvement in the local avant/jazz/rock circuit stretches back to the late '70s and the famed "little bands" scene which spawned such notables as the
Primitive Calculators
,
Essendon Airport
and
Tch Tch Tch
. In the past ten years we've seen a bevy of releases featuring Brown in various guises: there's the
Bucketrider
CDs on Dr. Jim's, his project with
Sean Baxter
; his duo with Japanese guitarist
KK Null
,
Terminal Hz
, and on and on.
Apsomeophone
is Candlesnuffer's second CD release, and the title is taken from the name of one of French musique concrète pioneer
Pierre Henry
's studios -- Apsome -- and it's fitting, as
Apsomeophone
is, in a sense, a tribute to the groundbreaking works of the great concrete musicians of yore -- a series of irreverent odes to contemporary classical composers. However,
Apsomeophone
brings together the worlds of "composition" and rock, a meeting point of low- and high-art, a collision of the electric and the acoustic (and the occasional electro-acoustic). In it ye shall find moments of
Derek Bailey
-esque guitar destruction, looped guitar twangs, repetitive, percussive chimes, drones, Japanese film samples, doom-laden power chords and out-of-nowhere noises leaping and disappearing in a moment's notice -- all cut and spliced with a masterly precision. If this was released in '68 with a Wergo label stamped on its LP sleeve, you'd probably skip a few meals to grab it. It's spiced up with some handsome, minimalist artwork with liner notes by
Anthony Pateras
.
