AUGST / KARL / KORN / PETTIBON BLANK MEETS PETTIBON

GROB 

CD

€14.80
"the frankfurt trio blank encounters classic improvisation with the sure-footed and subversive gesture of contemporary anarchism. clarinetist and multi-instrumentalist rüdiger carl, fmp veteran from the very beginning, has already proven this "coolness" in various groups of his own (with cowws, in duo with red krayola mastermind mayo thompson, with the artists albert and markus oehlen). that he met the frankfurt text, theory and stage worker oliver augst (electronics, voice) and christoph korn (electric guitar) five years ago was only logical. in the fall of 2001, they met the american art star raymond pettibon in cologne's philharmonic concert hall. and of course, everything ended up in a wild improvisation in which pettibon played the animator and inspirer. this cd is really a full quartet recording! pettibon did the cover work, and in addition, his notes and text fragments are printed."

BLANK DUDEN

EVENTUELL 

LP

€18.90
"rüdiger carl is one of the most important figures to have emerged from european free jazz. musicians oliver augst and christoph korn, who are a generation younger, work at the cross-roads of improvisation, installation, electronics, and theory. oliver augst, rüdiger carl, and christoph korn have appeared as blank in different projects and releases from fmp and grob international. their latest project takes the theme of "collection" as a starting point. oliver augst, ruediger carl, and christoph korn have sifted through their own recordings and releases from recent years, and have broken them down into microscopically small parts, creating countless strange and colourful fragments. these fragments are then recorded on vinyl in the form of 240 locked grooves. "duden" is not only a very special recording, but an instrument in itself for blank will use the locked grooves to perform live with three recordplayers instead of their usual instruments - a genuine mixture between post-turntablism and improvised music. limited on 400 copies, comes with stunning artwork on extra thick cover by tobias rehberger. special edition of 40 copies, numbered and signed by the artist, are available on request."

BLANK POST

GROB 

CD

€14.80
""improvisation not a fetish, but rather as material, as an object of process, as a means to save past gestures, those hardly left in memory - this is the musical procedure of the frankfurt trio blank. blank consists of oliver augst (voice, no-input mixing board, harmonica, etc.), christoph korn (guitar, live electronics, melodica, and voice from time to time) and rüdiger carl (claviola, a small keyboard with rhythm functions, a little accordion, no clarinet this time around, but with voice, a world premier!). they are a group that has developed a dream-like understanding among each other. and it hasn't happened via the classical path of free jazz noise, but rather via a highly reflective method of always questioning themselves: this year they have released a lp, duden (on eventuell/a-musik), which exists solely of endless grooves. whoever buys this lp, buys a current working instrument of the band. in the last few months, they performed, each with an lp and record player, and mixed the loops to a complete texture live. post appears as a logical consequence of this working method. the cd contains 33 tracks with a complete time of 52 minutes; the tracks are based on loops for the most part. the material that forms the basis of the music was played spontaneously ("improvised"), but was arranged later on a computer into miniature songs. post is an exemplary expression of working antitheses. the music seems static and diverting at the same time; there are virtually no references and concessions on the zeitgeist, and yet post is saturated with historical gestures - punk, techno, the proletariat song tradition, trace elements of blues and new wave. and history, by the way. it's exactly the opposite of what one'd expect: first post was recorded, then duden. due to current reasons the last was published first. but it's unimportant - blank master their material, playfully not dictatorially. the strict logic of their work is always broken by the involuntary spontaneity and free imagination. improvisation can't be entirely subjugated. the cover was designed by albert oehlen."

BLANK DOGS DIANA (THE HERALD)

SACRED BONES RECORDS 

LP

€15.90
"for the quickly ascending career of the blank dogs, this 12-inch marks another ringer, and already their fourth release of 2007, clearly showing an impeccable work ethic with no signs of stopping. each record sounding more unique and far out than the last, this brand new 12-inch ep on sacred bones shows the blank dogs evolving into a full-on goth-gone wrong killing machine, yet they dont need to get nasty. the effects the vocals reverberate through will cause instant nausea when exposed to the elderly and the weak, yet underneath lie those keenly disguised pop hooks that stick with you long after the record stops."

BLANK DOGS THE FIELDS

WOODSIST 

CD

€12.90
"blank dogs are actually singular: it's the insanely prolific one-man brooklyn-based band of mr. blank dog. we don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks or bedspreads, but that's fine. the aura of anonymity allows you to focus on the sounds - and, really, he might be releasing a ton of things, but there's definitely a higher jam-to-crap ratio. it's like joy division vocal lines with the cure's synth and guitar melodies filtered through ancient submerged keyboards and eroded recording equipment. and that voice? all the feedback in the world can't hide his knack for melody."

BLANK DOGS UNDER AND UNDER

IN THE RED 

2LP

€19.90
"for the past several years, a slew of 12-inches, 7-inches, and cassettes have been released by brooklyn artist known as blank dogs. the sound is joy division vocal lines with the cure's synth and guitar melodies filtered through ancient, submerged keyboards and eroded recording equipment. all the feedback in the world can't hide his knack for melody. blank dogs has been making plenty of rumbles in the noisier and more secretive outposts of the underground. all of their records were pressed in limited editions, sold out quickly, and, without fail, wound up fetching big bucks with collectors on ebay.here comes a double-album housing 20 brand new songs (15 on the cd) that show off his pop chops to a greater extent than any of his previous releases.various artists from the brooklyn music scene-members of the crystal stilts and vivian girls, among others-contribute this time around, though the sound remains as dusted and strange as anything blank dogs has done before."

BRODERICK & MACHINEFABRIEK, PETER BLANK GREY CANVAS SKY

FANG BOMB 

CD

€12.90
"this beautiful collaboration features two of the most prolific talents from the current experimental scene, both with reputations of leviathan proportions. for this release, machinefabriek, based in rotterdam, the netherlands, and peter broderick, based in berlin, germany (although constantly on the road) set out to push each others limits, and to explore new areas within their own creativity. the resulting album is a delicately crafted one, with machinefabriek and broderick virtuosically combining instrumental compositions, drone, and heartfelt soundscapes with song structures and vocals. or as peter broderick himself put it: "we tried a lot of different things on this album, pushing ourselves to explore new areas. and for me the result is the collection of music i feel most proud of so far.""

NOTWIST, THE BLANK AIR

ALIEN TRANSISTOR 

7"

€5.90
"while the notwist are touring europe, the band releases a brandnew song on their own imprint alien transistor. 'blank air' is a smooth and unexited song, reflective and haunting. and it features one of these typical notwist hooklines, that you'll get hardly out of your head.- this track was composed for a movie by jörg adolph. the b-side features a cover-version by console (who produces all the electronic parts for the notwist) of brain eno's & cluster's 'by the river'. console already released a vocal-version of this on his album 'mono'. here you'll find an alternate instrumental, that has an even more ambient feel than it's original version. artwork by helge reumann (elvis studio)."

SHOUP / CORSANO / FLAHERTY, WALLY / CHRIS / PAUL BLANK CHECK

TYYFUS 

LP

€16.90
"wally shoup (alto sax), chris corsano (drums), paul flaherty (tenor & alto sax) recorded live in concert by yamada shin at gallery 1412 in seattle, on october 16 th 2005. mastered by jim matus at paranoise studios. 'everything dies, baby, that's a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back.' (bruce springsteen : atlantic city) jazz died, of course. many moons ago. the corpse has been on display ever since. amazing work, i must admit, keeping up those appearances. some people like to hold on to things like their life depended upon them. a vision turns into an illusion, inspiration into a well-honed mechanisms. but there are days when it does come back, back from the dead. by the way of looking back and to the future simultaneously. it's not a game, it's not a race, a show of hands or skills. what it thrives on is energy, the power to watch your back and still stay on the road. back in the day, the energy was bottled and since then it's been a limited supply. some are priviledged, some people have an access to the powerplant, cables to the source. 'when they said 'sit down' i stood up.' this is one of those days." (label info)

ARBITRARY SIGNS 

LP

€18.90
"the album reeks of the musty homespun psychedelic scent that would make both al simones and uncle neil young red as a beet. the tunes are hazy with hope and bobbing audio to spare. seagulls or rusty bedsprings sound off in the crackly distance on one track and i get a salty taste in my mouth like i licked the third pier boardwalk in wildwood circa '79. and check out the track 'burning bridge' where petes' voice soars and wavers like a wounded dove flying to the safety of a clean cage and the awaiting name of 'walter.' the whole thing is a gorgeous, fully conscious stumble into a self made sunset." (tony rettman)

V.A. BOB BLANK - THE BLANK GENERATION

STRUT 

CD

€15.90
"the first ever album retrospective of one of new york's most revered of all producers, bob blank, this album traces the history of his independent studio, blank tapes, one of the city's most important creative dens during the vibrant arts scene of the mid-'70s to mid-'80s.blank started out in new york in 1973 as a guitarist before producing one of the first 12" disco records in '75 - jimmy sabater's 'to be with you'. he opened his own blank tape studios a year later. he quickly became an essential port of call for new york's diverse artistic community, honing the freeform, anarchic visions of august darnell, cristina and lydia lunch for ze records and, with producers patrick adams and greg carmichael, helping to shape the sound of many disco classics. musique, inner life, instant funk and salsoul orchestra all recorded classics at blank tapes. arthur russell also recorded much of his most celebrated disco-related output at the studios under pseudonyms dinosaur l, indian ocean and felix, as well as 'wax the van' with blank's wife, lola. other regulars at blank tapes included latin producer tito rodriguez, whose charanga 76 and eddie palmieri recordings with blank would receive grammy nominations."
