Astromero is an ongoing collaborative project between japanese noise pioneer Hiroshi Hasegawa, of astro, and Damion Romero of Speculum Fight. Side A is a live recording from San Francisco, hence the title 'Live in San Francisco', and the B-side is a studio collaboration. Side-A pitches low end rumblings and grumbling's against harsh psychedelic synthetics. It's intensely abrasive and wild!! Brutal some would say. It's an all consuming composition that corrodes in on itself with restless abandon. The vocal contributions are particularly intense. The studio recording reveals more of the same but within a more controlled environment. The space sonic's that cut through the low end dronage are totally awesome. I think it's a treated theremin that's making this composition work better than the live track. I can imagine a load of clangers messing about with a ton of tone generators and old elecro-harmonix pedals on the moon. Not entirely sure that was the desired effect but i'm liking it. Limited to 350 on No Fun Productions.Astromero is the psychedelic synth / noise project of Japanese pioneer Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro,CCCC), and LA's Damion Romero (Speculum Fight). Side A is a live show in San Francisco, a total scorcher with an immense level of energy where shifting walls of synthetic sound produced by Hasegawa are complemented by the signature rumbling low end frequencies coming from Damion's custom electronics. Side B is a new studio track, full of brain melting tones and showing the more compositional side of this sick ongoing collaboration. Limited to 350.
