Unverhofft kommt oft, kurzfristig geht's zum Lachen in den Keller...
Die beiden Herren hinter den Projekten sind hinlänglich bekannt, wem die Namen nix sagen, der kann weiterschlafen bzw. - okay, noch einmal - zum Mitschreiben:
MONOPOLY CHILD STAR SEARCHERS is The Skaters’ and Pacific
City Sound Vision’s Spencer Clark. His ornate, hallucinatory environments are
enacted through a Xerox mirage of celestial horse gallop, mizmar-like horn
melisma and avian vocal Interpretation. His live performances have been likened
to a mix of temple inauguration and 50's Ethnic Folkways bootleg, and his
myriad of recorded artifacts surf from devotional pyramid drone and celestial
bamboo ritual to the tropical romance audio novel of his most recent vision,
‘Make Mine, Macaw’.
Courtesy of the Ancient Skywatchers of California and
Shamans for Levitated Coconuts, amongst other distant bureaus, Clark’s cosmic
accretion of tapes, CDs and LPs have appeared on labels like Old English
Spelling Bee, Heavy Tapes, Eclipse and New Age, and he has collaborated and
performed with artists such as Tomutonttu, Sonic Youth, Deerhoof, Nurse With
Wound, Charalambides, Melvins and Wooden Wand.
DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE is the Antwerp-based, Cetacean
Nation Communications and Taped Sounds ambassador, Lieven Martens. Forming his
music through a process of ‘automatic writing instigated by dialogues with the
cetacean world’, Martens’ warbly and effervescent sonic ecosystems abound with
the attuned aquatic energies and tranquility of liquindi percussion,
echolocative synth gurgle, Polynesian cantata and tape-collage swirl.
Martens has released music on Kraak, Not Not Fun, Release
the Bats, and his own evolving imprints, which have also played host to an
array of artists such as, Oneohtrix Point Never, Orphan Fairytale, Kraus, J.D.
Emmanuel, Emeralds’ Steve Hauschildt and James Ferraro. Dolphins’ radiant
musical glare and calming ascension emerges from an innerspace of reflective
elation and Higher Intelligence.
