Mondo Paradoxa by KK Null/ John Wiese

5...according to our on Wed 18 Mar, 2009.

You know that life is on your side when you come into work and you're greeted by a KK Null/John Wiese CD. Both are frequent collaborators but as far as I am aware this is the first time they've done stuff together since a 7" in 2004. 'Mondo Paradoxa' is comprised of 10 untitled pieces & was created via mail over a two year period and it's a most pleasurable match made in (absolute) noise heaven. Both artists bring their styles into the mix. Null creates digital sculptures and futuristic oscillations whilst Wiese's sonic detritus and scummy audio junk adds a layer of dirt to Null's precise blips and tones. There are some gargantuan abrasive peaks of pure sound and screeing feedback as well as more subtle and deep layered pieces. Null's music always takes me somewhere else on this is no exception. I recommend listening before breakfast. Digital CD on Auf Abwegan.

Constructed over the period of two years via mail collaboration this is a
great and forceful collaboration between two artists that each have made a
name for themselves with their unique approach to making sound. KKNULL is a
master of feedback studies, working with looped scenarios to create dense
and vital sound units. KKNULL has a long history as an experimental musician
and is also the leading force behind proto-metal-group Zeni Geva and the
dark-industrial project Absolut Null Punkt. John Wiese has recently
collaborated with such acts as Wolf Eyes and Sunn O))) and is also a graphic
designer in high demand. Usually he creates fragile but very erruptive lo-fi
noise rumblings with an almost poetic touch. He has a musical past in the
group Bastard Noise.
Needless to say, both artists combine the best of both worlds in this
crunching release!

Comes in beautiful full cover digipak, designed by Government Alpha,
typesetting by John Wiese.
