Recorded by KidMillions (Oneida) over aweekend after seeingthe Fireworks Ensemble’s performanceof Ulrich Krieger’s transcription of MetalMachineMusic, Man Forever is the maelstrom on the surface of a river. Kid Millions writes: “A fewmonths ago I went to see Fireworks Ensemble performMetal Machine Music, I read the liner notes for the show, listened to the original record and learned how the piecewas originally recorded and discovered Ulrich Krieger’s transcription process. During the performance I was inspired to record an album right away. A conversation I’d had a year or so ago with Brian Chase (from the YYYs) about just intonation tuning with drums popped intomy head and I realized I could do somethingwith acoustic drums inspired by the “noise” of electric instruments. I visualized a monolithic recording that would utilize the rich tonality of carefully tuned acoustic drums, played powerfully andmulti-tracked at different speeds onto the Ocropolis (Oneida’s Brooklyn Studio) 16 track 1” tapemachine. I asked Brian Chase to come to the studio and help me tunemy drums so I could capture my ambition for thepiece. Richard Hoffman (Sightings) added somebass to the final mix. The tempo is something like 180BPM. The piece moves fast at an almost imperceptible rhythm. It feels overwhelming and fluctuates constantly. Turn it up!” Shahin Motia from ExModels and Oneida recorded the album and acted as a producer of the recordings. Kid Millions is touring the project throughout the North East after the album is released.
