SOUND SCULPURES-VARIOUS ARTISTS, ARC RECORDS, LP, 197?, CANADA

soundsculpt






















































ARC Canada put together a lovely cross section of sound sculpture spanning 3 decades of works. The collection was housed for 60 days at the Vancouver Art Gallery. During the collections stay multiple recordings were made within the gallery's conducive environment. The collection was curated by experimental sound and tape artist David Rosenboom (who had a short stint at Mills College here in Oakland) The recordings feature sounds not found on the Sonambient series of Harry Bertoia, making this collection heavily sought after by Bertoia collectors. Additional recordings of works by Francois & Bernard Baschet, Stephan Von Huene, Reinhold Pieper Marxhausen and David Jacobs make for a wonderful and eclectic collection of outerworldly soundscapes. A must hear for any sound art enthusiast!

SILVER HORSESHOES-S/T, LITTLE RED ROCKET, 1995, C-40, U.S.A

silvery



























The Silver Horseshoes -S/T cassette C-40
Little Red Rocket,1995. Oakland, Ca

This little gem sold out fast and was only available on tour if you happened to
catch the band Daredevil during the summer of 95. The Silver Horseshoes was a
side project headed by Daredevil & Indian Summer's guitarist Adam. Tracks from this release would have nestled in quite nicely with some of the better lo-fi country infused
projects of the same period ala Palace, Songs:Ohia & Rex. These tracks were
recorded at a West Oakland warehouse live via stereo cassette, a very cheap recorder
at that. That said the tracks still retain a rustic beauty and deserve to be shared among interested listeners, we're happy to provide...
A lovely packaged release comprised of a die cut fold out chipboard case. lino-cut print of stampeding horses and an unlucky upside down horseshoe. Hand written name and label logo with cut & glued xerox info squares. Even the shiny red staples keeping it all together were a nice touch.
Just 4 songs of haunted slide and discordant country guitar riffs, singing, jaw harp & samples. The songs are sandwiched between repeating record loops of stampeding horses, distorted and tangled in a slightly disturbing manner, a glorious addition...
The line up for these songs featured Adams brother Seth on drums (also of Indian Summer), Billy from Ordination of Aaron and Daredevil, Nate (RIP) of Bubblejug & Gang Gang Dance, Fawn & Quinn from Tarentela.

MINATURES-V/A, PIPE RECORDS, LP, 1980, U.S.A

minatures


V/A- Miniatures
1980. Pipe records
A sequence of 51 tiny masterpieces edited by Morgan Fisher. Amazing collection of mostly British composers and sound explorers. Everything from abstract poetry, jazz, experimental, avant-rock and more. It's impressive to see the amount of creativity these artists back into a 1-minute (or less) piece. You can hear them having fun with the work and doing things they are not normally used to doing, full spectrum of composition, sound and explorations. Each track is wonderfully commented on by label owner and project producer Morgan Fisher. Stand out tracks for us were Andy Partridge, The Work, Fred Frith (who squeezes pieces from every Henry Cow song into a power mash up piece!) Metabolist, The Residents & Mary Langford.

JON GIBSON-VISITATIONS, CPS, 1973, L.P., U.S.A

VISITATIONS


NYC, 1973. Chatham Square Productions, INC
First solo LP by this Phillip Glass part time collaborator and label mate. Beautifully done left field modern minimal classical work. A wonderful excursion in "non-monumental music". Instrumentation includes: wooden flutes, bells, cymbals, synth, brook, claves and various effects. A great example of field recordings interweaving with composed musical instruments to create sonic blanketing . Put this on in place of your morning and evening ragas for a similar effect on heads.
