blevin blectum – magic maple (praemedia/bleakhouse)

this is fourth release on san francisco based label preaemedia and first as collaboration release between praemedia and bleakhouse. bleakhouse is from other side new label organized by blevin blectum and lesser. and this release is blevin’s third solo release, first since “talon slalom” on delux records (2002). blevin blectum is renowned artist from contemporary experimental, electronic, glitch scene, formerly hailing from .blectum from blechdom and now member in sagan multimedia extravaganza project consisted of blevin blectumm, wobbly, lesser and ryan junell. or said on other way: formerly aka d84, formerly aka 1/2 of blectum from blechdom, currently aka 1/3 of sagan. this album launches from the remains of her previous solo release “talon slalom” into the outer cosmos. it is pure glitch release. a pure glitchy cut up sound massacre. cut up vocals, vocal samples, samples variously pitched and stretched, distorted rhythms, noisy melodies, noise… and yes “magic maple” really gives impression of its real namesake. crystalline structures of sharp sounds are spreading on every side. it also includes vocal manipulations by dina emerson (meredith monk ensemble) with jonathan segel (camper van beethoven). what more do you need? by the way this release will also coincide with premiere cd/dvd release by sagan on vague terrain. can’t wait for the next one.
