VNA – Issue 16
Book, SaleIssue 16 features Parisian legend Invader as the cover artist. Our exclusive interview with the Rubik’s cube enthusiast provides a rare insight into this secretive street artist’s work.

Issue 16 also includes Ron English’s protege, the Australian wunderkind Kid Zoom, old-school mad scientist CHU, commercial assassins TrustoCorp, and weird and wonderful pictorial pirates The Dead Sea Mob. But that’s not all, folks. We also talk to Cath Love and Will Barras, and include a photo feature on Obsession Of Colour.

Hess & McFall – The Inescapable Fox
Sale, VinylI think I speak for Steven and I both when I make mention of the fact that a great deal of the materials used to create this release stemmed from a mutual interest in working with taped (analog) recordings. So, when we began working together we started by sending analog recordings back and forth by mail. Most of my recordings are done on treated tape, whereby the binder material is subjected to hydrolysis prior to the recording phase. Steven recorded some of the more sound/precussive elements for the inescapable fox on some of my tapes and his as well. He sent them to me and I began editing the material from there. I’ve been working with piano, voice and field recordings for some time now, so I tailored these source recordings specific to the tracks on the release. As far as ideologies are concerned, we approached the collaboration process thematically in order to attempt to focus our work for this release.Original price was: £12.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

thisquietarmy & Scott Cortez – Meridian
Sale, VinylThe collaboration between Scott Cortez and thisquietarmy doesn’t really come as a surprise. The latter acknowledges that the previous works from Cortez (under the lovesliescrushing moniker) greatly influenced his work, to the point of using the same way of writing the band’s name (no capital letter and no spaces between words) for his actual solo project. The main thing that they have in common is their unconventional use of the guitar, which they consider as a signal generator. They then process those sounds through various effects, to obtain a different result than that of the original signal until the source becomes almost undetectable. Meridians is also the first vinyl production from thisquietarmy, as it is Scott Cortez’s first under his real name.Original price was: £14.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Aaron Martin & Machinefabriek – Cello Recycling / Cello Drowning
Sale, VinylRutger Zuydervelt, a man better known to the experimental music world as Machinefabriek is somewhat prolific; a fact you might have gathered from his steady flow of super-limited edition 3” cdrs which seem to slip out relentlessly month after month. American multi-instrumentalist Aaron Martin is possibly less productive only having one full-length album to his name so far, but he is no less intriguing and between them the duo have come up with a project which is far more than the sum of its parts.Original price was: £12.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Death Vessel – Stay Close
Sale, VinylDeath Vessel is Joel Thibodeau’s work as both a solo artist and band leader. His music, captured on the resplendent record “Stay Close”, is an eloquent distillation of a life’s tales. Born in Berlin, Germany before The Wall fell… raised in Kennebunkport, Maine before the senior Bush’s presidency… this musician lived a childhood where the ghosts of Cold War casualties and seaport tragedies haunted the alleyways and beaches.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Small Town Boredom – Autumn Might Have Hope
Sale, VinylSmall Town Boredom are an aptly named duo from Paisley, consisting of Fraser McGowan and Colin Morrison. Their debut album Autumn Might Have Hope was released through Trome Records in 2008, and despite arriving to it late I’ve become quite transfixed by it’s perfectly languid encapsulation of the frustrations of both small town life and small town mentality. There’s a sense of hopelessness which permeates the low key compositions, sculpted primarily through acoustic instrumentation and the odd swell of subtle electronics. The key ingredient though is the vocals, which exude the kind of lethargy of broken dreams. The songs are hushed and intimate, like whisperings of thoughts which you try not to dwell on for too long and never quite break to the forefront. The lyrics are delivered with such blunt honesty though that it’s impossible not to confront the issues dealt with, particulalrly given the relative sparsity of the production.Original price was: £12.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Pitre / Ensemble – Organized Pitches Occurring In Time
Sale, VinylOrganized Pitches Occurring in Time consists of two 25 minute pieces of music, both spawned from the same conceptual composition/score by Duane Pitre, titled Ensemble Drones. With their form reminiscent of works by La Monte Young’s Theater of Eternal Music and their tonality touching on the floating works of Terry Riley, ‘The Ensemble Chord in Eb with a Minor 7th and a Pump Organ Base’ & ‘The Ensemble Chord in C with a Major 7th and a Guitar Base’ are aural tapestries based on a minimal tonal palette with their instrumentation consisting of guitars, alto saxophones, bass clarinet, violin, viola, cello, tone generator, and pump organ.Original price was: £15.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Piiptsjilling – Wurdskrieme
Sale, VinylWurdskrieme is one of two new releases from Piiptsjilling, a quartet that is formed of Jan and Romke Kleefstra, Mariska Baars and Rutger Zuydervelt. The name Piiptsjilling (pronounced ‘peep-chilling’) is Frisian; a language which Jan Kleefstra uses for the poetry he reads to accompany the improvised sonic worlds that the remaining three members create with guitars, effects, loopers and the voice… In March 2010 the band took to an intensive 2-day improvised recording session with the goal of creating nothing more than beautiful, challenging music. The session resulted in two-and-a-half hours of material which was mixed and edited into two separate albums. Did they succeed with their simple goal? Yes. Yes they did.Original price was: £15.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Mount Eerie – Black Wooden
Sale, VinylBlack Wooden is the coming together of ideas that had travelled with Mount Eerie for months and had solidified into compositions in the days and hours before the studio session. The title itself refers acutely to the genre black metal–perhaps less surprising a reference considering black metal often shares Mount Eerie’s appreciation with low fidelity production aesthetics (among many other things), and that Phil Elverum had just been in Norway before arriving in the UK. Southern Studios’ well-established approach of getting out of the way and letting the performance speak for itself has never been more successful than in Mount Eerie’s Black Wooden session.Original price was: £12.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

FNS – FNS
Sale, VinylDespite being his first recording for Miasmah, it transpires that FNS or Fredrik Ness Sevendal is in fact a veteran of the Oslo experimental scene. Having collaborated with several groups over the years, FNS is very much his solo project. Using a variety of instruments, but predominantly focusing on guitar, there is a premeditated approach here; an effort to ensure the lo-fi nature of the record is appreciated by the listener.Original price was: £14.00.£8.00Current price is: £8.00. -
Sale
Cezary Gapik – Contrast
Sale, VinylContrast I is the latest work from Polish experimental musician Cezary Gapik and comes via White Box Recordings, the first in a trilogy of the artists works to be released by the label… When first experiencing a work that comprises two tracks, half of which could fairly be described as noise, one cannot help but consider the artist and their intentions, to try and gauge their sincerity. In this case though, the artists intent can be safely assured. With a long history of noise-making, Gapik has an extensive back catalogue of small run releases and CDr’s. Born 1963 in Czestochowa, Poland, Gapik was originally drawn to Punk Rock and Post-Punk while an interest in avant-garde icons such as Morton Feldman also existed alongside his more confrontational tastes. Presumably touched by the 1980′s industrial music scene, the artists bio refers to his music as ‘power electronics’, a term coined by the ever controversial William Bennett of infamous noise legends Whitehouse.Original price was: £15.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

The Hunter Gracchus / Kommissar Hjuler Und Frau (Vinyl)
Sale, VinylTwo bands that really rip out their ur-tongues for you. The spectacularly cathartic Kommissar & his queen make some odd, Simpsons-themed sex outfits out of trash bags. They put them on, lie on the floor & then roll around on top of guitars while hyperventilating and shrieking. Hunter side is also vocal improv, this time from some free-flapping Sheffield folks who run the Singing Knives label & hang out with the Harappian Night Recordings guy.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Tucker & Decomposed – Grey Onion (Vinyl)
Sale, VinylIt’s funny to think that this is Alexander Tucker’s first Latitudes session, as he’s always felt like a part of the Southern family. From being one of the driving forces behind the first release on Latitudes (Ginnungagap) to providing artwork, playing on the same bills or collaborating with musicians in our stable, Alex has also felt like a fellow walking the same path as us, and has been top of our list to do a session since we started the series.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Starving Weirdos – B/P/M Series 1 (Vinyl)
Sale, VinylStarving Weirdos are a collective that I keep reading about, and seeing on live line-ups that I can’t quite manage to get to. Recently I received an album via the ever-prolific Blackest Rainbow label. The duo of Brian Pyle and Merrick McKinlay have taken a side of vinyl each to rework the playing of pianist Darius Brottman. Long avant-garde piano solos are reworked in weird and wonderful ways that surprised and inspired my ears. The prepared piano is replaced with a post-production feel that remains fresh, even in its existence as a delayed response.Original price was: £12.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Mem1 – Tetra (Vinyl)
Sale, VinylDistressed notes run asunder on Tetra, a vinyl-only offering from the duo, Mem1.

Fieldhead – Riser (Vinyl)
Sale, VinylLimited Edition 10″ Vinyl of 250… Riser was borne out of a desire to bring the sound of the human voice to the core of Fieldhead’s music, and to rally against an idea of it as peripheral, as an afterthought to the music. The EP continues the love of tape hiss, grainy textures and dusty loops married with brevity and melody to be found in the album preceeding it (‘They Shook Hands for Hours’), but this time the pallete has been stripped back to just the human voice and minimal, organic synthesisers.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00.
