Thomas Carnacki


 

More self-promotion (sort of). While I can certainly recommend anything from Thomas Carnacki (dear friend Greg Scharpen and an assorted crew of misfits), and will likely feature more T.C. releases here in future posts, today's post features a brand new Thomas Carnacki release that I had a hand in. "Pit-throated Kingfisher" is a single track release featuring an audio "exquisite corpse" which was composed by G.Scharpen (Thomas Carnacki), S.Higgins, and W.A.Davison (The Recordists) and originally presented live at the 2008 Whitney Biennial in New York. There's more to the story (much more!) but for now you can read the liner notes accompanying the release to get an idea of how this came together.

I haven't heard this material in years and I must say (if I may be so bold) that it sounds pretty damn good! Check it out here -

And don't forget, today is Bandcamp Friday! A perfect day to buy "Pit-throated Kingfisher" ( or https://songsofthenewerotics.bandcamp.com/album/disembraining-songs-demo-feb-94 or any of the product I have listed at https://recordism.wixsite.com/noisician/product. Man, I know how to hard sell! )

It's All Gone Weird

  Hi there! I'm W.A.Davison, experimental musician and artist ( www.recordism.com ). I have run numerous blogs in the past, my main one being The Organ Grinder's Gazette where I post about the activities of The Recordists (W.A.Davison and S.Higgins). Today, I decided to start a new blog, this one, mostly as a way to keep track of the music I'm interested in. I'm always exploring various sorts of "experimental music" - ambient, noise, sound collage, etc. - and I thought a blog would be a good way to document and list my favorites, new and old, with the added bonus that the list might be a way for other folks to discover some new and interesting sounds as well! I may or may not comment on my findings. Haven't decided on that yet. But it is not my intention to start a review blog. Maybe later I will decide to review what I find. For now, better to think of it like a list of suggestions - like the famous (infamous?) Nurse With Wound List. What's the Nurse...

irr. app. (ext.) + The Recordists

The current irr. app. (ext.) monthly digital single series sees our friend Matt Waldron resurrecting material from the long-defunct Nine Day Antler Society . I wrote about it back in March of this year and you can read that post here . The October edition of the series features a collaboration between irr. app. (ext.) and The Recordists . This is an odd one as The Recordists ( W.A.Davison and S.Higgins ) did not contribute any actual sounds to the recordings. Instead, Matt used some collaboratively written surrealist texts, authored by The Recordists, as the basis for four very funny sound pieces (funny odd AND funny ha ha). https://irrappext.bandcamp.com/album/2023-monthly-digital-single-ndas-revisited-october Needless to say, the other material in the October edition, and the entire series, is great and well-worth checking out! - W.A.Davison
