All Those Things That Appear
Totally new ways of approaching music, gripping emotional content inventively transitioning between moods, genres and cultures - from the tranquil delicacy of strings to infectious funk to the depths of spacey fragility to swooning lyrical themes, and blues, like a delicious, desperately painful slow motion taffy-pull of palpable sorrow you can feel welling up in your gut. Phew! It's almost like his guitar's notes are making love to the listener, you can feel the waves of sensations going through your whole body, just pining for the next note to come. And as soon as you are drifting into an alpha state he startles you to attention with complex, hard funking middle eastern percussion, over burbly trance electronica - elegantly and seamlessly integrating complex time signatures as if nothing was more natural. Multiple genres insanely tied together in unique ways that come out sounding as if there was nothing more perfectly natural in the world - and all impeccably executed., multiple simple ideas, tied together in inventive and brilliantly complex and unexpected ways. It's like Kinsella just stepped on earth and is taking what is available with no preconceived thoughts of how music SHOULD be. All as created by Kinsella as he presents his musical ideas as filtered through his life of chronic pain due to musculoskeletal problems. It's not too often that you hear someone completely reinvent music and in such a prolific manner (Kinsella has been managing to put out 3 completely new releases a year for the past couple years). Composition, performance, engineering, production, programming and artwork by Pat Kinsella. On this disk, Pat Kinsella played: electric, archtop, acoustic, and lap steel guitars, resonator, fretless bass, fretted bass, guitar synthesizer, synthesizers, samplers, doutar, erhu, pipa, darbuka, cornet, clarinet, cigar tubes, CPAP tubing, cow hooves. The title The Flame That Burns Twice as Bright is from the line "The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.' by Laozi' in the Tao Te Ching A Good Ole Boy is dedicated to Gerry Freeman, a Good Ole Boy from Detroit. ...Ready for Bed? - Saturday Night 11:31pm is dedicated to my wife Lynne for all the time I spend away from her working on this. Let's Banish Him (When The Pin Is Pulled, Mr. Grenade Is No Longer Our Friend) is dedicated to Rat Bastard.- Shop: odax

Erosion: A Fable
Loom Ensemble collaboratively creates new performances that weave together equal parts dance, music and theater. "[Composer Sasha] Bogdanowitsch makes music like quicksand: it sucks you in slowly, almost against your will, overwhelms you, then brings you out the other side disoriented but grateful." , Mei Tan--Middletown Press 'Erosion merits as large an audience as it can get.' R.Pikser--Theaterscene.net "A tightly functioning unit of hyper-talented people who can - to put it concisely - do ,everything." Cassie M.--Winesburg Blog Erosion: a Fable premiered in February 2012 to sold out houses at La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York City. Erosion: a Fable takes a look at the familiar world of corporate desk jobs through a surprising aesthetic prism--equal parts Occupy Wall Street and Dr. Seuss. The show uses Loom's signature palette of full-body movement, layered vocal harmonies, and text-based storytelling to stage this story of corporate competition, environmental catastrophe and personal transformation. The last two tracks on the album -- 'Wake Up' and 'Part Of' -- are new additions to the Loom vocal repertoire, but the rest of the music on comes from our show 'Erosion: a Fable.' The textural shifts and unexpected song forms all reflect unfolding events in the Erosion narrative. The musical composition process grew fully interwoven along with collaborative decisions about choreography and storytelling. With this album, though, we hope not just to capture the music as it was performed on stage, but to create something new and delightful that stands on it's own. The musical instrumentation used in this show/recording are multifold, from original instruments like the Halo, Flipflophone, and Tubulon to electronic instruments in software and samplers. Enjoy.- Shop: odax

Homestyle
Thumbtack Smoothie -bring a helmet and a microscope- Fury unleashed digits whirling amid chunks of molten synthetics and the power of sound, thunder from the depths and the heights of a code unknown .Through pulsation's of noise removed from the twelve tone system haunting melodies mirroring relentless shadow boxers emerge. For true connoisseurs of experimental electronic music. This artist doesn't easily fit into your standard electronic categories. Group members - one Albums - thumbtack smoothie - electrickitchentableland (2001) thumbtack smoothie - math is hard (2002) thumbtack smoothie - homestyle (2003) thumbtack smoothie - fall back (2006) THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE (a.k.a. Carl Coletti) made the strange transformation from studio session/live drummer (with bands like The Walkers,The Neighborhoods, Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra, the Jason Newsted-led Godswallop and Pancake Circus) to experimental electronic musician. His new album Fall Back (Quake Trap, 2006) reflects an artist reaching towards the peak of his extremely weird powers. 8 years ago, he was a drummer who stumbled upon the (then) Metallica Bass-player's portable sampler. Today he is easily one of San Francisco's boldest sonic alchemists. Naturally transferring his percussive knowledge to drum programming and sound manipulation Thumbtack Smoothie creates his densely layered tracks by loading his herd of samplers with insanely intricate sonic entities of his design and then plays the sampler pads real time improvising and responding to the overdubbed layers of sound as only a drummer of his caliber can. While tapping the sampler pads his waving hands disturb infrared light D-Beam controllers that change the parameters of the effects on his samples. This level of control shifts Thumbtack Smoothie into the territory of insane puppet master in complete command of his audio assault. This unorthodox style of track creation/performance unhinged from traditional production methods allows Thumbtack Smoothie's tracks to soar to places unexplored in the realm of experimental electronic music. Press - Some of you might be aware of Thumbtack Smoothie's deeply layered experimental electronic blanket's of sampled distortion and rugged beat-work on albums like 'Math is Hard' (Manic Obsessive, 2002) and 'ElectricKitchenTableLand' (Manic Obsessive, 2001). This year Thumbtack Smoothie released 'Homestyle' (Quake Trap, 2004) --also found in KUCI's RPM music library --where decomposed digital sounds interact with organically placed glitches, twitches, distorto beats and odd tweaks. It's an equation of electronics that twists and turns like mechanical insects lost in a frozen landscape in 2010. (Digital:: Nimbus experimental electronic radio KUCI 88.9 FM) Thumbtack Smoothie - Homestyle - CD - Quake Trap Quaketrap Recordings sent me these two highly experimental albums along with a compilation album to listen and immerse myself in their artist's auditory madness. The album Homestyle is the more bizarre of the two.What I found on this release may be music for individuals with a taste for oddly processed experimental electronic music that, according to the CD sleeve, was manipulated with infrared D-beam controllers. It's a 54-minute journey to a world you have never been to. A world that was uniquely created and belonging solely to the mind of the producer. Thumbtack Smoothie has given this world a tangible form in the likeness of a CD for people who desire to explore this realm but do not realize it yet. This is Thumbtack Smoothie's third release and it continues his science of melding drum & bass with eccentric sample material and fleeting appearances of I.D.M. as well as plenty of reverb, filtering, modulation and ring modulation. Notable tracks are: Never At Dusk, June Louder, Moondoggy, Sore Eye Soire, Scrunchie Misplacement Incident and Lil?? Dropper. ( Craig N. - Vital ) Thumbtack Smoothie - Homestyle - Quake Trap Something ruptured, something crude. San Francisco is imploding with a whole new sound. On his third full-length Thumbtack Smoothie's Homestyle has some in common with Amon Tobin, the rabid percussion is just left of center and the beats are ready to pounce at the quick. 'Clyde's Edge' certainly opens the package with an imploding whiff of absinthe. If you have ever played Pong on acid, this may be the sordid soundtrack. Something of a relentless blur. The Smoothie takes an amoeba-like sound, something edgy and organic, and struggles with it's silly putty edges, stretching it to the brink on tracks like 'Dodgeball Mentality' and 'Fragmentation Key' (which sounds like a two-parter, separated by a few tracks in between). He takes low-fi rhythms and hyphenates the backend, stunting the beats, roughing it up a bit. Where things take a synchronous turn is on 'June Louder' where added is a bit of piano, lain aside a big, bad post-rock wall of percussion. Things become much more interesting a few minutes into the track when a revving of game sounds start up a modulated drag race. Part Bi-God 20, the resemblance to early 90s industrial-goth is fragrant, but not exactly the point. ( TJ Norris - Igloo Magazine ) Math is Hard Thumbtack Smoothie (Manic Obsessive recordings) Who was it that said Collage was the art of the future? Some of the most interesting sounds that are being made today cannot be so easily be categorized. Those of you that know me know that I'm smiling right now, as I hate categorization. (If you don't know that by now, after reading this column, consider yourself forewarned.) Thumbtack Smoothie, who hails from San Francisco, does not have a problem mixing hip-hop, trance, electronic, trip-hop, drum n' bass and every other bit of noise that he can muster up, to create a sprawling, blippy psychotic trip through the ventricles that we call life. This CD explodes in your face. There is nothing neutral or relaxing here. It is what it is and there are no apologies for it. That's the beauty of this m?lange of sound that drips, bleeps, screams out of it's nerve endings that convulse sporadically like a nervous twitch in your arm. This is an experimental journey that takes you for a roller-coaster ride full of jolts and heaping mounds. You think you know the road ahead of you, only to end up doing a three sixty in reverse, followed by a screeching stop. This recording is meant to open the pores in your body that need a deep cleansing. Awaken your senses. Wake up people. I really dug the trip hoppy sounds of 'Sea From Grain', with buzz saws going off in the background. One of my favorite cuts is 'Still in a Cloud'. There's this sample that repeats like a floating string section and over the top, you can hear a muffled voice saying,'boring, boring, boring.' This recording is anything but boring. This is experimental music of the highest order. Available through cdbaby.com.(Midwest Ursine 'On The Turntable' May 2002 ) THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE: math is hard 'Thumbtack Smoothie's music looks at me naked and then takes my skin off and wears it - still dripping - traipsing around the kitchen singing in some alien tongue.'(Micro Vard - Club D'elf) THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE: math is hard Frenzied and frantic, the level of intensity on this CD is as abstract, yet exact as that description. For true connoisseurs of experimental electronic music. This one doesn't easily fit into your standard electronic categories. (CD Baby - editors picks May 2002) THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE: Math Is Hard (Manic Obsessive Recordings) Thumbtack Smoothie is a relatively new artist from Northern California who produces delicately crafted yet dark ambient electronics. (digital:: nimbus experimental electronic radio KUCI 88.9 fm) THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE - Math Is Hard (Quake Trap) Thumbtack is one of those vigilante types playing by his own set of rules.originally the drummer for Pancake Circus, Thumbtack branched out a few years back and began encoding the results of his own sophisticated programming -(of which, Math Is Hard is his second release).

Half-Told Bedtime Stories
Originally conceived as the acoustic duo of Nate Heller (guitar) and Cori Rush (vocals), Wendy Darling began writing songs at a furious pace in the summer of 2006. As they honed their style, the two agreed that their songs deserved fuller arrangements, and they began to seek out other musicians to fill out the sound. The lineup became complete with the addition of Jon Freeman (bass, keyboards) and Hector Verdugo (drums). The band has continued to carve out their unique genre of Indie Rock by incorporating a variety of instruments including banjo, accordion, glockenspiel, piano, and samplers. The resulting album, '...Half-Told Bedtime Stories' drifts seamlessly between folk, straight up rock, psychedelia, and electronica, all while keeping the sultry, honey-dripped vocals of Cori Rush at the forefront of the music. This energetic young band will captivate you with their playful style and heartfelt delivery.- Shop: odax
