TBC & GUY SALDANHA ANTI-GRAVITATION

KNISTERN 

7"

€6.00
"the second series starts of with an explosion of improv and noise. bassist guy saldanha creates a wall of fast rock phrases, deep drones and radio shreds that tbc alias thomas beck breaks or enforces with minimalist clicking and loud screeching from his feedback-mixer. the two to three minute long tracks are loud fusions of rock and noise, the two musicians floating two centimeters above the ground thanks to anti-gravity. like the duo intertronik (knistern #1), an electric bass is played by one person and processed simultaneously by another. the duo tbc & guy saldanha though works more intensively with feedbacks: inside the mixer, and acoustically via basspickup. a cd-r by the duo, "lieder für bäume und pflanzen", has been released on the wachsender prozess label." (label info) numbered edition of 242 copies.
