BBBLOOD / HALF AN ABORTION SPLIT CS (Review / Download / Purchase)

Just uploaded the recently released split with Half An Abortion, download (name your price), or purchase a physical copy through the links on Bandcamp.



An excellent review of the tape on Radio Free Midwich

"The BBBlood / Half an Abortion split, self released by the pair of them in an edition of 100, is a magnificent half hour that may be the best ‘hard’ noise release I’ve heard this year.  Both tracks are composed entirely from glass – yeah, think on that for a second – but this is not just a trip to the bottle bank (although Pete’s side does feature such recordings – his younger brother can be heard gleefully enjoying that officially sanctioned destruction).  The dedication of Paul’s track to ‘Lowe and Lanz’ gives you some idea of the context this slots into and the tradition of warped humour and physical performance that it is part of.

It is, as you’d expect from these two, artfully constructed, nuanced and textured as well being totally balls-out gonzo in places.  Clinking-plinking-tinkling, smashing, grinding, crunching, squeaking, that kind of ‘pouring sharps’ noise as the pieces settle – like the apocryphal Eskimo having 40 words for snow, a specialist vocabulary is needed to describe the effects these chaps pull from their single sound source.  They play with the psychological implications of breaking glass too: veering from the amusing (as when someone drops a pint glass in a pub) to the unnerving (a quiet cracking downstairs in the middle of the night).  Eerie little rhythms are created by looping clinks, white noise roars by layered scrunching.  

As with the BBBlood disc on SLI the artifice is occasionally foregrounded such that you can’t mistake it for bare field recordings and have to approach it as ‘music’ or ‘performance’.  Thus figuring out the choices these two have made draws you further and further in with each rewind.  Fascinating, funny and, depending on your mood, troubling or weirdly soothing.  A fucking triumph."

Next up, short review of the year and 2013 plans. 

BBBLOOD / HALF AN ABORTION C30

I'm happy to announce the split C30 with Half An Abortion is out now.

"Paul Watson, aka BBBlood, is a maestro of noise. Harsh noise. Wandering through his extensive back catalogue, you'll come up against some pretty intense sounds; however, there's a depth and consideration with Paul's approach that soon has you warming to them and reaping the rewards accordingly... – Sheepscar Light Industrial

Half an Abortion is far more considered than the gonzo band name would have you expect, this is carefully layered, properly physical noise. Bits of this could lazily be described as ‘harsh’, I suppose, but it isn’t confrontational. It actually has a very engaging flow, a wry humour and a structure that invites the listener to climb all over it. Pete clearly wishes you to pay attention and you’ll be rewarded if you do. – Radio Free Midwich

Both sides of this split tape are composed entirely from glass sound sources."

7-11pm Saturday 15th September 2012
Wharf Chambers, Leeds

Petrels (Tartaruga Records / Denovali Records)

'...A deluge of beautiful noise and crushing melody, which ebbs and flows beneath the surface. Utilizing bowed strings, discarded electronics, found percussion and occasional vocals, portentous drone and cascading rhythm.’

http://petrels.bandcamp.com/
http://www.denovali.com/petrels/
http://www.facebook.com/Petrels

Aqua Dentata

As Aqua Dentata, Eddie Nuttall (Baraclough) creates sounds with synths, tapes and, according to the blurb at Beartown Records, "bowed miscellany"; sounds to consume and get lost in, be they shimmering and beautiful or throbbing and fizzing...

http://www.aquadentata.org/
http://soundcloud.com/aquadentata

Max Bondi (Tartaruga Records)

'...An exploration of constraint, limitations, and repetition. Fragments of sound fold in upon themselves, constructing patterns and melodies which overlay, interfere and diverge, varying from dense clusters of pulsing frequencies to torrents of cascading electronic notes.

This is uncompromising machine music, but with a melodic edge, rhythmical but irregular, ‘electrical’ rather than electronic.'

BBBlood

Paul Watson, aka BBBlood, is a maestro of noise. Harsh noise. Wandering through his extensive back catalogue, you'll come up against some pretty intense sounds; however, there's a depth and consideration with Paul's approach that soon has you warming to them and reaping the rewards accordingly...

Ebbing, swelling, layered and heavily textured drone from the Bleeding Heart Narrative guitarist, soon to release his debut record on Tartaruga Records.

SUDDEN INFANT - BBBLOOD - H - AQUA DENTATA - JENNA FINCH + MORE (NOTTINGHAM)



































RAMMEL CLUB RESENTS :

an evening with

SUDDEN INFANT (Switzerland/Germany)
http://www.suddeninfant.com/
Sudden Infant harnesses childish glee into surrealist sounds and a performance that disturbs as much as it amuses. Joke Lanz is a member of the Schlimpfuch-Gruppe, the notorious Swiss aktionist group and was involved in traumatising a captive audience in Nottingham a few years back. This is his only UK date.

H (France)
http://www.zamzamrec.org/H.html
It’s a little known fact that after the breakup of Steps, H moved to Bristol and started to produce convulsive electronics. At least this is the information I’ve been given, apart from the bio which says "Pyramid Power and Drone Zone Hymns for a Battle Bliss H, Nerd Kundalini, practices mesmeric audio gestures to make U go 3D B'aaouuuwh"

BBBLood
http://bbblood.blogspot.com/
A notoriously violent and abusive London noise thug. Was last seen onstage carving his initials into rodents using a rusty contact mic that had ceased to work in 1998. The Sun calls him a “vile and unpleasant human being” and we’re only too pleased to welcome him to the Rammel Club stage.

AQUA DENTATA
http://www.aquadentata.org/
Pure crystalline drone from London, whose last piece reminded me of Charlemagne Palestine’s work which in reality meant I sat transfixed in my comfy chair with the cat for an hour or so. We’ll be providing neither chair nor cat accompaniment for this engagement.

>> and performances by

JENNA FINCH
http://jennafinch.com/
"Jenna Finch is a performance artist based in Nottingham. She rejects the market-driven art world and instead favours obscure happenings that money can't buy. Jenna tries to blur art and life by translating her banal everyday politics into "visual feedback". She uses her childish wit and eccentric props to communicate her ideas."

LAUREN MARIE
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lauren-Marie/101079629983287
"Lauren Marie is a sexually frantic and brutally honest poet and performance artist. Grief is a piece about freedom for emotive expression translated through the face of a Geisha."

BBBLOOD / TINNITUSTIMULUS SPLIT - OUT NOW

I'm pleased to announce the release of the BBBlood / Tinnitustimulus split c30.

This one has been in the works for quite a while now and I'm really glad how they have come out. I'd like to say thank you to Tomas for his patience.


This split cassette between London's BBBlood and Philadelphia's Tinnitustimulus has been a long time coming both sides deliver some ferocious harsh noise, weirdo junk metal and high end frequencies.

Paul Watson (BBBlood) has been making junk racket. harsh noise and bottom-of-the barrel field recordings for nearly ten years now, his side ranges from cut-up sampled metal to paint stripping white noise and back again. Recoded using various field recordings from a local building site, home sampling of a step ladder being scraped by copper piping, and plenty of contact microphone / pedal worship.

Tomas Bennett (Tinnitustimulus)mashing metal coils and bastardizing feedback loops since 2004. His side delivers a full spectrum assault of dense noise and high frequency tones. The second track Ahnighito is punishing! Almost verging on noise wall territory, very fluid changes, and consistent.
