...STANDGERICHT!

Standgericht is a London band which started out as a martial rythmic noise band but shifted more into ebm in the last two years.
The word Standgericht means "court martial" in german but is also a play on words, which could be translated as "take away meal".
Standgericht does not reinvent the wheel it embraces the idea of 4/4 danceable music fully without subscribing to any kind of main stream sound.
Standgericht's mission in life is to make the world a noisier place, it does not educate, it entertains.
Standgericht is not noise, Standgericht is "Achtung Disko!".

LETZTE AUSFAHRT LEBEN

Since 2008 5 Albums already have been Released and made a huge Imcpact, specially in Russia and the former USSR Contrys. A New Album will be Released soon, called "Cocon"."

WEREWOLF JERUSALEM / SKULLFLOWER TOUR 2011

2011-03-02T06:36:00.000-08:00

Just a quick post to let those who follow this blog about these two great dates in April.

London 15th April

Make sure you get there early enough to catch Hal Hutchinson's set it's going to be storming. Exciting news to follow about the BBBlood / Pollutive Static live collaboration in April.

Manchester 16th April

This is the first ever UK date for Texas noise legend Richard Ramirez playing as Werewolf Jerusalem. Co-headline with Skullflower (full-band line-up).

Werewolf Jerusalem

Werewolf Jerusalem is one of the multitudes of names that the absolutely legendary noise artist Richard Ramirez records under

Richard Ramirez is an American noise music artist from Houston, Texas, recording and performing both as a solo artist and as part of several groups and the "static noise" solo project Werewolf Jerusalem. He is notable for being one of the earliest American harsh noise artists.

Ramirez, though extremely prolific, draws a distinction between his relatively few professionally printed CDs and LPs and the many CD-Rs and tapes he produces for smaller record labels. He has done collaborations and split releases with many figures in the noise field, including Merzbow, Emil Beaulieau, Skin Crime, Marc Broude and MSBR.

Ramirez's work tends to consist of long, slowly changing or static tracks of heavily distorted low- to mid-range noise, with a gradual move over the last several years toward more drone-influenced sounds in addition to his harsh noise work. Parallel to this evolution has been a shift in thematic concerns, with album covers, titles, and general themes changing from more typical noise music concerns such as violence and war (largely borrowed from Industrial culture) to a focus on homosexual themes and gay porn artwork. In addition to his musical work, Ramirez also runs the noise and experimental music label Deadline Recordings.

Skullflower

To the uninitiated, Skullflower is one of the better-known bands that originated in the early 1980s power-electronics / noise scene, and one of the few to achieve any real recognition outside their homeland, especially in the United States . Unlike most of their contemporaries (such as Whitehouse, Con-Dom, Grey Wolves, etc.), they are an actual band (as opposed to one or two musicians employing a mix of instruments, synths, and tapes), and retained just enough of rock's basic structure to attract the attention of people beyond the power-electronics genre.

Skullflower's roots are in the European power-electronics / noise scene taking place in the early 1980s. A number of experimental musicians and bands who had grown bored with punk began experimenting with a more confrontational brand of volume-dependent artistic expression. Bands like Whitehouse, Final, Napalm Death, Con-Dom, Throbbing Gristle, The Grey Wolves, and the like were pushing the boundaries of sonic assault, employing damaged synths, guitar noise, unsettling tapes, and extreme volume to confront audiences. Swiping a page from punk's DIY manual, most of them were also releasing their own material (and in some cases, the material of a great many others) on cassette and (when they could afford it) vinyl, to be sold at shows or by mail order.

RUST - REVIEW

2011-02-03T04:22:00.000-08:00

A great review of the now Sold out Rust c20 released at the end of last year reviewed by Evan on his review blog Inside Noise Reviews

RUST c20
SELF RELEASE, December 2010

Side A immediately pummels my speakers with HNW textures and shrill droning feedback that split into deeper bowel moving, blotting rumbles and high-pitched harsh noise scratching and scraping, sounding like contact mics. The feedback comes and goes, the rumbling begins to slap-back echo before churning and thrashing into higher gain territory. What's nice about this track is about how elements and textures come and go- returning full force. The low rumbling ceases, leaving only the scratching and scraping, like 1000 nails on a chalkboard, over and over in what sounds like a circular, almost whirlwind motion. The churning returns briefly before fading once more. The feedback also ceases. A new mid-range swirl is introduced, sounding similar to ocean waves. The scratching turns into a higher pitched static and what sounds to be cymbals or junk metal fade in. At this point the track is stripped bare of all low end, before HNW walls burst through, also bringing back the scraping that was a mentioned earlier. A sense of fried circuitry can only be felt here, the charred black wall surging with swampy lows and electric-shock high crackles. The wall turns into a moster, screaming before cutting out- leaving a looping organic texture before fading.

Side B slowly sneaks out of my speakers, dark-ambient atmospheres gradually building up. A drone starts to take center-stage before fading back into the ambience. Heavy contact mic'ing emerges almost instantly, smashing, hitting, bashing. The atmospheres are no more. Violent Japanese-style bursts, blown out low ends throbbing and pulsating while the scraping continues on. Feedback emerges before everything cuts back into the dark ambience. A certain fuzzed out circuit sound gains momentum and volume over the ambience, going from it's constant volume to dominating the track, before going back to it's regular presence. Crackling flame-spewing starts under the ambience, not quite white noise, not quite hnw, before cutting quickly into contact micing under the same ambience. Feedback flies by, shifting and disappearing in waves. The scraping piles on thickly, only stopping to let feedback make repeated cameos. Again the harsh japanese thrashing starts once more, but way more blown out, extremely blown out. And then cuts off. More violent than the first track, but clearly thought out in the placement of each movement.

This cassette makes me want to listen to it again. And again. The tracks are JUST the right length to get that certain itch that leaves you wanting more.

5/5

Now sold out, I will soon be uploading MP3 of this and the recent 'Destroy, Shatter, Stun, Intoxicate c20 cassette.

DESTROY SHATTER, STUN, INTOXICATE

2011-01-24T13:04:00.000-08:00

2010 SUMMARY

2010-12-20T14:48:00.000-08:00

2010 in summary was pretty eventful. These are my highlights and achievements.

BBBlood Releases - 2010

So not really as prolific as years previously but I'd recommend checking out all of these where you can. I still have copies of Rust and Lazar House but the split with Duncan is out of press for now, more copies are expected in the new year. Load more releases planned for next year, I just don't want to rush any of them out. Announcement of a new release is to follow.

Compilation Appearances

Last year I submitted a tracks for the following compilations

V/A - Resuming Treatment CDr (Fragment Factory)
IEAAP volume 1 (Hal McGee)
V/A - Transient Constellations All-dayer compilation CDr (Transient Constellations)

Currently recording at the moment has been mostly focused on the upcoming LP on NO LITE (pending name change) early 2011, it's almost complete.

BBBlood Live - 2010

4th January - @ The Miller - Miles Of Smiles - BBBlood / Shighai/ Jahillyah / Slushy Guts / Angela Valid.
17th June - @ The Others - Transient Constellations - BBBlood / Team Brick / Skat Injector.

25th September @ GELUIDSOVERLAST,VLAS VEGAS and DE KREUN PRESENT NOISEFEST 2 w/ Cheapmachines, Sewer Election, Naked On The Vague, Ättestupa, Remork + more.
16th October @ The Windmill - Transient Constellations All-Dayer w/ Cheapmachines, Polutive Static, The Digitariat, Gland, DeepKiss 720, Skat Injector etc...
9th December @ The Others - ILL FM - BBBlood, Dieter Muh, Cheapmachines and Acqua Dentata.
16th December @ The Others - Transient Constellations - Oscillating Innards, BBBlood, Rovar17 and Duncan Harrison.

This year I've really enjoyed playing a lot and have been getting more into my live set up after supporting Toshiji Mikawa / NAG etc.. last year. I guess the only two low points of the shows I played was the show with Team Brick and Skat Injector due to technical problems and overall dramatics from a venue turning on a limiter mid-way through the set cutting my volume in half and the Noise x3 UKNC I felt was just a really strange event.

The real highlights was playing NoiseFest2 in Kortrijk (a great place I really want to visit again), meeting all the great Belgians and drinking all their finest beer / getting toasted with Phil, Vicky Kapoor and the locals, Incubate 2010 for the incredible experience and finally playing on the same line ups as musicians such as Cheapmachines, Sewer Election, Oscillating Innards, Alfarmania and Dieter Muh.

Thanks to everyone who fixed up these shows. I'm open to offers for future gigs as nothing is currently planned till mid 2011.

Records 2010

There's been countless great noise and related records released this year, these stood out for me. This list probably reads a lot like others lists but here goes...

The Rita - Predators 7" (Second Layer Records)
Custodian - Toil and Waste (Syzmic Records)
Darksmith - Total Vacuum (Hanson)
Keranen - Bats In The Attic (Pica Disk)
T.E.F. - Consequences in Conversation (DaDa Drumming)
Jason Crumer -Let There Be Crumer / Self Pity Fuck (No Rent Records)
Black Air - Paris (Urashima)
Sewer Election - Vidöppna Sår (PAN)
Kazuma Kubota - A Sense of Loss + 1 (Pitchphase)
Pedestrian Deposit - East Fork/North Fork (Monorail Trespassing)
The Haters / Hal Hutchinson c90 (And possibly Hal Hutchinson 'A Taste of Iron' too on Freak Animal) (Der Bunker)
Pain Jerk - The Worst Form Of Musick (AMP)
Sewer Election - Bristning (Release The Bats Records)
Lasse Marhaug - The Quiet North (Second Layer Records)
Francisco Meirino & Dave Phillips - We Are None Of Us (Misanthropic Agenda)
Macronympha / Kakerlak split (DaDa Drumming)
Dem Hunger - Caveman Smack (Leaving Records)
Graham Lambkin & Jason Lescalleet - Air Supply (Erstwhile Records)

Also mention goes to As Loud As Possible magazine. I'm still only half way through reading it but it's almost like when you're a kid and receive a copy of the Beano annual. Great read, inspirational and very insightful.

Live 2010

Favourite Shows of 2010

LAFMS - The Lowest Form of Music Weekend (London, Beconsfield) - Highlights for me - Hijokiadan, Incapacitants, John Duncan, Spoils & Relics w/ Mark Durgan, Raionbashi, Dinosuars With Horns. A unforgettable weekend, so many great acts, great people, records to buy.
The Rita (London, The Grosvenor), with excellent sets from Filthy Turd, Voltiguers and Vomir this was a great night. Sam Mckinlay's set was uncompromising walls of static suffocation and decay really knocked me for six and I felt pretty high afterwards.
Oscillating Innards (London, The Others) For a long time I've wanted to see OxIx play after hearing reviews from friends who have been fortunate enough to see Gordon play. After missing out last time I finally got to see OxIx play and even support that night. A real jaw dropping performance and intense set.
Skat Injector (London, The Windmill) The Transient Constellations all day event was fun from what I can remember, but out of all the sets I really enjoyed Skat Injector's set that night. One one hand it was abrasive grind core with incredible screamed vocals from Zara Skumshot and on the other hand it very tongue and cheek and the crowd were extremely up for going crazy.
NoiseFest 2 (Kortrijk, Belgium) I mentioned this earlier in this blog post but I really enjoyed all the sets I caught that day - no complaints + good beer.

2010 was pretty good, here's to 2011 cheers.

OSCILLATING INNARDS
Noise project of Portland-based Gordon Ashworth - the earlier incarnation of his work before he began his Concern explorations. This is likely to be one last outings of the OI moniker. Brutal, exultant, exploratory noise music performed with guile. Exciting but alienating.

BBBLOOD
London’s shining noise light; Colour Ride is always delighted when BBBlood plays.

DUNCAN HARRISON
Finally, Duncan Harrison plays a Colour Ride show. Brighton-based Duncan is a member of exemplary psych drone outfit Plurals. His solo shows are altogether more rabid; his live performances and numerous self-released tapes have established him as a key noise figure.

EURO TRIP SEPTEMBER 2010

2010-10-07T13:21:00.000-07:00

So, finally recovered from over 2 weeks of excess and a week away in the Netherlands / Belgium.

Both shows were a great success. It was great to meet, chat and drink with you all. A big thanks to Levi in Tilburg and Fré in Kortrijk for their hospitality. We had a great time, photos coming soon if you are interested. I hope to come over again some time in the future.

A short video extract from the NoiseFest2 set is on YouTube (See Previous Post)

I think we mostly enjoyed Kortrijk as it was a slower pace than Incubate + Belgium beer wins over any other beer hands down. Bockor Omer was my beer of choice at the festival.

I really enjoyed the sets by Sewer Election, Naked On The Vague, Alfarmania, Cheapmachines, Remork and to be honest every set I watched was great.

Anyway this post is just to document the fact we're still alive!

News on upcoming shows / releases to be posted shortly.

INCUBATE BLOG - Q&A

2010-07-13T02:47:00.001-07:00

As part of Incubate 2010 they have asked a set of questions to all artists playing.

Here is my Q&A

[inQ&A] BBBlood

Only two more months until Incubate 2010. For the past few months we’ve been announcing new artists every week. But with 200 + artists coming up in September we can imagine you losing your hold. That’s why we compiled the Incubate 2010 Spotify playlist (http://incu.at/spotify). Subscribing to this playlist will get you acquainted with most of the Incubate 2010 bands.

Apart from their music, part of the getting-to-know-them-better-proces will also be us asking some of the artists a few questions in the upcoming months. The thirty-sixth edition in a series:

BBBlood

1.Can you please introduce yourself?
I’ve been making music under the BBBlood name since 2002 but before then I used to play in a load of trashy punk and grindcore bands. Once they all broke up I thought I’d work on my own noise based material as I was just getting into harsh noise and have always been involved in the D.I.Y punk ethics that the noise community also adopts. At first my sound was pretty cheap and very crude distorted computer based noise. But I eventually threw all that in the bin and started making straight up concentrated harsh noise. Since then I’ve not looked back and I’m trying to progress the sound further.

2.Where are you at the moment?
Currently I am enjoying the sun in London as we never seem to get a real summer in England that lasts longer than a week. I’m hoping that it like this at least until Incubate 2010 has finished, as I’m planning a holiday around the same time.

3.Have you played in the Netherlands before and if so, what’s your view on or experience with the scene you’re operating in in The Netherlands?
Sadly no, I’ve never played in the Netherlands. Last time I was over in Holland I was 18 years old with a few friends on a debauched trip to Amsterdam where all we did was smoke and drink beer. Last year I did a split cassette on Turgid Animal records with the Apophallation great harsh noise from NL. I really enjoy playing in mainland Europe as the crowds are always a lot more up for it. I’m really looking forward to coming over.

4.What can we expect of your gig at the Incubate Festival?

Expect no mercy.
No seriously, expect an attempt to produce some highly charged non-melodic metallic junk noise within 15 minutes.

5.What are your plans for the (near) future?
In the near future I’m planning to release more records, play more shows in main land Europe and keep on pushing my sound further.

THE LOWEST FORM OF MUSIC

2010-07-02T04:08:00.000-07:00

Re-post, this is going to be the event of the year by miles!!!

One day before my Birthday roll on October!

Second Layer, Harbinger Sound and No-Fi presents...

THE LOWEST FORM OF MUSIC:
The Los Angeles Free Music Society in London

The Lowest Form Of Music is the first ever event in the UK dedicated to the work and influence of the legendary Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS). This weekend of performance, film screenings and discussion will explore the legacy of one of the avantgarde’s great unsung movements.

The missing link between the far-out West Coast freakscene that spawned Zappa and Beefheart and the worldwide explosion of DIY experimental culture, LAFMS is a must-check for all those with an interest in underground alternative culture. Using humour, collage and buckets full of the bizarre, this collective kicked the early 70s out of its post-Manson nightmare and into the avant-gutter of a pre-punk endzone.

The influence LAFMS has had on the explosion of international DIY culture is immeasurable. Explicitly acknowledged as a motivation for the emergence of the Japanese noise scene in the 1980s, as well as being cited specifically by the likes of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and John Olson (Wolf Eyes), the collective that emerged in LA in 1973 resulted in countless adventurous music lovers tasting the delights of a new kind of creative freedom and getting out there and doing it for themselves.

The Lowest Form of Music will take place over an extended weekend at Beaconsfield in South London, a venue “distinguished by its history of providing a forum for extraordinary events and exhibitions”. The programme will feature a host of LAFMS artists and groups
presenting performances, talks, films screenings and workshops.

"The LAFMS recordings (are) experimental rock history at its most historical and hysterical - a completely bizarro and further-out counterpart to the LA punk scene." - Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth

"LAFMS people have hybridized avant-garde, experimental, improvisational, punk, pop and even humorous stuffs. For Japanese fans, LAFMS has become a legend." - Takuya Sakaguchi, Osaka

"LAFMS were the New Weird America when nobody was payin’ attention 25-30 years ago." - Roland Woodbe, Siltblog

"The monster is back in its original nature! Human synthesizers!! Hijokaidan in its early days was heavily under (Airway’s) influence. Definitely a must for everyone in this era!" - Toshiji Mikawa, Incapacitants/Hijokaidan

"The guys in the LAFMS were inquistive smartie nerds determined to forge their own SONIC WORLD. What a shipwreck and coral reef they created!" - Gary Panter

Programme:-

Friday:-

SMEGMA
LE FORTE FOUR
TOM RECCHION
MORPHOGENESIS

Saturday:-

BBBLOOD / AL QAEDA SPLIT REVIEW ON FOXY DIGITALIS

2010-06-17T05:51:00.000-07:00

A great review on Foxy Digitalis of the recent BBBlood / Al Qaeda split 7"

Read it here on Foxy Digitalis...

Bbblood/Al Qaeda "split" 7''

Trans-Dimensional Sushi

Splits are sometimes a risk. Sometimes you only like one artist on the split. Sometimes the artist that you actually like tried something new that you ended up not digging the new direction. But then, splits can also be awesome and amazing, like this 7” from Bbblood and Al Qaeda for example. Both artists are truly great. And they both play some of their most laudable work.

If you’ve read my 2009 Year End fav’s list then you know that I hold Al Qaeda in very high regard. I still think they’re a crew to watch out for. Their name will be huge, and not just because their name is associated with a terrorist organization (but not related to it). They just need to get to the point where they can release a full length LP or something. Anyway, their side boasts two inspiring untitled tracks. This trio; Eric, Scott, and Erin, from the Bay area, give us two of their blissful best. These are straight up late night dream tracks. REM drones that’ll make your eyes sink into your skull, your respiration lag, and your mind wander. The most calm and collected I’ve heard AQ.

Bbblood is also an amazing talent. His side is just one longer track, “Mental Funeral.” That’s pretty much self-explanatory. This noise artist out of London, Paul Watson, reminds us why noise is the new punk. This is sheer music decay. It’s kind of cool how this track develops, building up from a slowburner to a raucous display. Bbblood drains its electronic veins gradually and then lavishly floods your speakers with bloody good psychotics. A true “Mental Funeral” indeed.

Top all this off with some cool full color collage art by Stan Reed (Blue Sabbath Black Cheer) and you have a pretty short but fun ride on the drone-go-round. This is Trans-Dimensional Sushi’s first-ever vinyl release, and I can assure them that they picked a great way to kick off the new format’s lineup. 9/10 -- Dave Miller (16 June, 2010)

Thanks to Dave Miller for the review.

This record is also available from RRRecords and Second Layer

Copies still available to buy direct from Trans-Dimensional Sushi

BBBLOOD / AL QAEDA SPLIT REVIEW

2010-06-08T06:25:00.000-07:00

I still have copies available, please contact

This review is taken from TRUST magazine in Germany.

BBBLOOD / AL QAEDA - split 7“
Baron Bum Blood alias Paul Watson aus London, seineszeichens Noiseaktivist und routinierter Soundmanipulator seit 2002, liefert auf seiner jüngsten Veröffentlichung bedrohliche Synth-Collagen, düster und alptraumhaft, sich schleichend steigernd zum finalen Raptus. Insgesamt gemäßigter, jedoch kaum weniger intensiv, als Watsons Harsh Noise Ausbrüche der Vergangenheit. Al Qaeda aus San Francisco, erst kürzlich mit Minutemen/Firehose Urgestein Mike Watt am Vierseiter auf Tour, setzen dem ruhige, atmospharische Kompositionen entgegen, für mich schwer zu kategorisieren. Al Bjornaa hat AQ mal ganz treffend beschrieben: „Part ominous, part chilling - this withering slice of out there atmospherics orbits darkly detached drone terrains located at the outer reaches of the early career sonic spectrum of Roy Montgomery.“ Runde Sache.

BBBlood Live @ Curry Club 2005 by BBBlood

Recently rediscovered live recording from 2005 (I think, maybe it was 2006) it was one of my early live perfomances. Recorded at 'Curry Club' what was pretty shambolically organised night inside Corsica Studios (Elephant & Castle).

We were supposed to play in one of the side rooms but had to play live in the main area where there already was a Ska / Reggae night going. None of the regular club punters were really sure what to make of this set.

It's a pretty interesting yet crude mix of heavy vocal, broken synthesizer and distortion recorded on a tape recorder under my set up. I have a vague recolection of the night and if you listen closely you can hear people shouting "turn it up".

Short set, strange night.

Small updates...

2010-04-14T08:04:00.000-07:00

I've sold out of all my tapes, ~~still have a couple of the Reaching. split CDr~~ and plenty of Al Qaeda split 7" and even a couple re-discovered copies of the Rank Sinatra split 7".

Email me (baronbumblood at hotmail dot com) for more information on ordering.

Some recordings in the pipeline, I've been pretty busy recording, moving and trying out some new ideas. The new set-up is all done and I'm really happy with recent recordings.

One of the upcoming highlights is a 2x C20 collaboration with Legless. Danny is a good friend and was living in the UK two years ago, we played a show together and had a few beers. He once played guitar in The New Flesh, has done collaborations with Kakerlak and is Half of Pastures. He has a upcoming split tape with Goat and also collaborating with Kakerlak on an upcoming LP. Our recordings are in progress so not too much to report at the moment.

Also due is a currently untitled CDr on We're gonna get fucking drunk tonight boys. I'm expecting to see this come out in the next couple of months. I've submitted the master CD but still need to provide art work. I just need to scan it in then I can send it off.

And finally I'm working on a new tape to release on Trans-Dimensional Sushi. Once I've managed to pin down Matt, I'll be potentially uploading out of print releases and updating the TDS blog. Although there are several blogs out there that have already have uploading some of my discography. Download some selections of the BBBlood back-catalogue here...

Otherwise there is a couple of other split tapes, collaborations and compilations tracks I am working on but I'll post here when things are more concrete.

Tapes, Records and some small changes...

2010-03-02T02:31:00.000-08:00

~~1 copy of the Apophallation / BBBlood c30 left, 3 of the C30 on Beartown Records~~, ~~2 copies of the White Mountains c30 and down to my last couple of Molecular Beam Epitaxy tapes (For now)~~.

All sold out!

I still have copies of the Al Qaeda split 7" ~~and 2 more copies of the Reaching. split CDr~~

So if you're interested in any please contact me.

If you want any deals on more than one tape email and we can work it out. I'm hoping to clear out to make space for future Trans-Dimensional Sushi releases.

Expecting to have a new CDr and Tape out in the following months, and then some more in time for the Summer but things are moving very slowly.

No live shows planned at the moment.

Also I changed the blog from black to white. I'm planning to revamp the blog when I've got some time. I have restarted to use twitter sporadically so 'follow me' there @BBBlood

New Releases

2009-11-20T08:21:00.001-08:00

Thanks to all that came along to the Mikawa show the other week. Really appreciate the support and special thanks to Pete & Steve for organising the event.

3 new tapes available...

BBBlood - Untitled (Beartown Records) c30 - SOLD OUT FROM ME, Try discogs / the label

"Another enthralling expedition into the unknown with the shape-shifting London noise project BBBLOOD.

Fog-laden drones and the clicking whirs of some far-off clockwork mechanisms provide the equilibrium here. Squealing whines, metallic clanging and the intrusions of great static roars provide the disequilibrium.
Side A of this tape is a tense journey from comfortable miasma, through deconstruction, before settling with juddering drones that we all know and love/despise.

Side B takes disorientating stabs of reverberation as its starting point, and degenerates from there. Insectival chatterings create the sonic backdrop for an orchestra of broken fax machines.
Just wonderful.

This release includes monochrome wrap-around cover art and dark blue C30. It is limited to 40 copies."

Various Artists - “Noise vs. Subversive Computing”

2009-04-30T03:51:00.000-07:00

COMPUTATIONALLY INFEASIBLE RECORDS #001

“Noise vs. Subversive Computing”

This is the “Noise vs. Subversive Computing” Project: A Collaborative release split between
Noise/Experimental Artists and Subversive Technologists/Computer Hackers. Ten representatives from each camp were asked to contribute a piece of work which could be anything at all: an audio track, a drawing, a written passage, software, video, combination of all that, or anything else that can be converted to binary. The Noisicians had “Subversive Computing” as their central theme, and the Technologists worked with “Noise”.

This is the outcome:

NOISE:

0. BBBlood (UK) - Bicep Venoms Gut Virus [AUDIO]
1. Config.sys (DE) - Bit Bucket [AUDIO]
2. Family Battle Snake (DE) – Black Hat [AUDIO]
3. Francisco Lopez (ES) – Untitled #223 [AUDIO]
4. GEN 26 (SI) - Untitled [AUDIO]
5. Hellboy106 (GR) - stgzknmhtrka [IMAGE+AUDIO]
6. ILIOS (GR) - 4000 cevaloj kriegas Mi ami Vi [AUDIO]
7. KOMMPOUND (GR) - Softmod Exploit [AUDIO+WORDS]
8. La Jacquerie (IT) – Re: If you're angry don’t [AUDIO]
9. Sarah's Charity (DK) - Colour of Clarity [AUDIO]

SUBVERSIVE COMPUTING:

0. Ach3n0r (GR) - Noise Steganography [SOFTWARE]
1. Ashrae |tosh & KaOS| (BE/DK) - Netglitch [AUDIO+WORDS]
2. E (US) - Sifting through the Noise [WORDS]
3. EK (UK) - Rainbow [AUDIO]
4. G0rg0g0l (GR) - Gorgogoogle: Web, Search, Noise [SOFTWARE]
5. Gorrrrgar (RO) - My kind of Shithole [PHOTOGRAPHY MATRIX+WORDS]
6. Jazra Khaleed (GR) - Noise [POEM]
7. Pascal Cretain (DK) - Information Pollution [VIDEO]
8. Rodrigo Marcos (UK) - MySQL Sounds [VIDEO+SOFTWARE]
9. Stelios Douskos (US) - LawyerFish [SOFTWARE]

The merger is truly fascinating; explosive to say the least. The radical thinkers at work in here
have the momentum, the mindset and the technical skills to crash Adaptive Firewalls, defy traditional definitions of music, “hack” live performance semantics and bypass Intrusion Detection Systems. Only this is not Cyberspace. We are subtly injecting polymorphic shellcode into your reality, brainwashing you with white noise and reverse engineering your obsolete modus operandi.

Alas; you can’t pull the plug.

Just a note that I'm playing in Croydon on the 29th April w/ Horacio Pollard and Cementimental.

Review of the International Noise Conference gig last week at the Gramophone, thanks to everyone who came down and supported.

From Man Walks Into A Bar reviews blog...

"A sadistic foreman with absolute authority over his machinery"

Fantastic review, I love it.

Also starting work on some new recordings. One track is to be submitted towards a Dictaphone Tape Compilation

LAUNDRY ROOM SQUELCHERS are a seriously legendary Miami Beach noise outfit featuring Rat Bastard and a revolving cast of non-geek noise enthusiasts like Leslie Keffer and Doug Ferguson which join the lineup on this Euro tour. The band no longer offer their music for sale to the public choosing to concentrate on their super intense, often chaotic, always insane live performance. Expect detuned radios, vocal terror, amp swinging and of course the unexpected. Dylan Nyoukis borrowed the title of one of their songs called ‘Colours Out Of Space’ for his Brighton-based festival of a similar name, where they played in the UK for the first time last year. They're bringing to London their on-going International Noise Conference project, which sees the band host a blitzkrieg party of local improvisers. The only rules are self imposed - All acts play short 15 minutes or less flash sets. No laptops, no mixers and no droning!

HORACIO POLLARD
Harsh, tumbling electronics, shields of venom and damaged vocals.

The rhythmic conundrum from Clunes gone solo and even odder, like a pool of aching custard sound.
http://www.myspace.com/clunes

HAUNTED FUCKING
Wrong-footed pop music with disaffected drums and spooked vocalisations.

Uploads/Downloads/New Stuff

2009-03-16T07:34:00.000-07:00

When bored I sometimes search the web for mp3 that other people have uploaded of my material. I don't really have a problem with people downloading my material so I kind of embrace it.

I only really have a problem with downloading if the release is still in stock and you're losing money due to everyone downloading rather than buying, this also annoys me when I see someone uploading a friends release when I know for sure it's still available.

It more so annoys me when you see other people making money out of your releases when you know neither the label or yourself are making any money from it....

Example:

HERE (Not worth viewing really)

From the split CD with Stuntcock, If anyone wants this rather than paying $0.2 per track I'd gladly give them a copy for free!

But anyway there's enough rants online about this topic. I'd like to share with you some of the BBBlood uploads I've found from other people.

New EP 'Flowers' Download (I still have copies and would recommend buying from the label or myself) but someones put it up there.

2006 EP Download Old and out of print, a quite popular release.

"Released earlier this year the bbblood 2006 ep is '6 tracks of all out noise giddiness and putrid fun.'
This was the first release in 2006 by the ever prolific one man mind fuck that is bbblood (aka the baron/baron bum blood ....) and is a self released cdr (also available on c60 tape i think).
The first track, Mystic Quarks takes us on a high pitched pyschadelic wander through white noise and television static. Loud, violent and 'in yer face' yet strangely hypnotic. And thats the case with all 6 tracks. In Felch babies night out bbblood introduces some synth type sounds which melt gradually into the fuzz. The third track Flame Party is less all out noise abuse. Manipulated tapes and contact mic'd percussion of some sort are given the bbblood harsh noise treatment and midway through the track we are treated to a few seconds of calm drone before launching back into bbbloods crazy world of amplified pain and paranoia. The sonic mayhem is explored further in Fake Chinese Spiel and with the distorted samples in Cognitive Disonance. The final track bbblood hates noise cops is 5 and a half minutes of ambient sounds overdriven to the max and looped. A quality harsh noise record"

BBBlood / Towering Breaker - Split CD Download 2007 Trans-Dimensional Sushi

Review 1 - Smooth Assailing (Check this blog!)

Review 2 - Rotten Meats

"Caught in the lethargy of a Summer that just isn’t... the sonics of this split CDr make perfect sense, like viewing a projection through wobbly jelly laced with razors... throwing normality into chewed perceptions, leaving the mind to stilt walk on distended fingers... the landscape a pearling treacle, leaking from the wounds of trees... drenched in an unholy communion of machine innards and looped cul de sacs ----> void reaching ----> time breaching. I’ll be listening to this for years to come..."

- Rotten Meats.

New Release...

Monstres par Excès

I should be receiving copies some time soon. Message/Email for info, I don't know how many copies I'll be getting and it's a limited release. Might even be sold out by the time I publish this post, so it's best to contact the label.

Yep, it is sold out and I only got 2 artist copies. Hopefully someone may upload it in the future.

What's next? The God Willing / Unicorn Hard-On / Family Battle Snake gig is next week, I'm recording / rehearsing like mad. Then comes the Fecalove gig that we're putting on. I'm hoping to post the flyer up this week and get the whole promotion ball rolling. Also some really awesome releases are in the pipeline. When information is available I'll pass it on.

Also if anyone is interested I've added all the Old posts that was only on my Myspace blog.

Rehearsing + Updates

2009-03-09T05:29:00.000-07:00

Just uploaded a video of my rehearsal from last week in preparation for the upcoming shows. Using some new gear, sounding OK so far.

Watching this video again and then watching what other people do with a Micro Korg is quite funny. I've had my Korg for about 2 years now and I've only really just started to use it for noises.

Oh yeah 'Alien Nosejob' is now available from Colour Ride ORDER HERE...

Buy your copies from their page via Paypal.

More info soon.
