...according to our Brian on Thu 12 Jan, 2012.
It's great working here. You get the chance to hear what it sounds like inside a massive churning cement mixer full of bits of old car and get paid for listening to it. Now someone's emptied the cement mixer and parked an idling aeroplane next to it. Now they're fucking chucking loaded body bags full of dead people into an empty cleanaway skip right next to us whilst a mad-eyed giant is trimming his beard with mutant remington clippers. All this happening at once! Oh my. Now the giant has started experimenting on the cleanaway skip thinking he can make some quality electro-acoustic noise/musique concrete for him and his enormous scary friends to sit round listening to on giant drugs. I think he might also be “playing” the skip with the bones of someone he killed and ate. He's really good at it. Or that's what I'm going to tell him anyway. I think he keeps kicking the skip and shaking it too because he really likes the reverberations it makes. As do I (I better inform him). Very cavernous and echoey indeed. The last “tune” on here is the sound from within the bowels of the empty cement mixer listening to the giant cutting up the aeroplane outside with his “clippers” (ie. a dead velociraptor encased in titanium that he's managed to convert to mains power). I think he may be planning on eating the plane at some point in the future, I do hope there's nobody on board...
Daniel Mennche: Abused and Thrashed Piano Guts
Recorded, Mangled and Mixed Summer 2011
X-ray's from a Chihuahua dog named Arrow
Mastered in the analoh domain ar Stereophonic Mastering, Portland Oregan
More voraciously beastial soundwork coming from Daniel Menche, his time his chosen theme is the piano, in which he attacks, investigates and dissects with the precision of an autopsy surgeon, adding a whole new meaning to concept of prepared piano, or should we say unprepared piano for an all out assault.
Guts lays out quite possibly some of the finest slabs of Menchian sonic mayhem to date. Voraciously beastial soundwork coming from Daniel Menche. Slightly different track sequence over CD and vinyl formats due to time constraints.
