Alien beauty and impossible explorations by the Australian guitarists backed with Takehito Nakazato’s manipulation of feedback noises and squeal, bad cable connections, loud mic tapping, electric hum, feedback squeals.
Mahayoni Mudra / Documents
(Textile) Used Split LP $5.00
Mahayoni Mudra brings together the theremins, synths and guitars of Fred Nipi and Romses (aka Freyja) and the percussion talents of Frank de Congo (aka Franq de Quengo of Dragibus and Bimbo Tower). On the flipside, Jean Baptiste Favory, André Ménard and Bruno Fernandes are “no longer concerned with the dividing lines between music, pure sound and noise. In its quest for the power which lies suspended in the shadow zones, the group navigates along these limits without ever fixing them.”

(Textile) Used CD $5.00
Strangely minimal, weird and earthy, skewed folk music from a country that never existed by one-third of Volcano The Bear. As an album, it’s pretty difficult to pin down. Padden uses traditional folk structures as the basis for many of songs here. But other esoteric influences are at work here as well: Southeast Asian traditional music, acoustic jazz flourishes, perhaps even the mystical minimalism of Terry Riley, combining a strange and beautiful amalgam of (mostly) wordless vocals, stumbling piano, scurrying cello, mournful kazoo interludes, deranged waltzes, and stuff that’s totally unidentifiable with his wayward outsider music.
