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.
