The Vitamin B12

I'm currently digitizing some old microcassettes that I made in the mid to late 00s for use in Gastric Female Reflex and my solo project M.Stactor. On one tape (which seems to have been recorded at a local "noise" show) you can hear part of a DJ set by GFR member Jacob Horwood, and at a certain point in the recording you hear me yelling "Jake, what is this?" and he replies "The Vitamin B12".

Right! The Vitamin B12! The mysterious Vitamin B12. I kind of forgot about this outfit but I remember at the time being very impressed with everything I heard from them. Not sure why I didn't investigate them more thoroughly, although I suspect it wasn't as easy to hear their material in the 00s. At any rate, I'm very glad I got this reminder today because, since about 2017, main B12 member Alasdair Willis has been uploading a ton of Vitamin B12 material on Bandcamp! So, I am diving into the deep end and won't be coming up for air for some time. Fantastic stuff! A highly eclectic output too, which gives me some hope that, maybe someday, someone will appreciate my ridiculously eclectic artistic output. One can dream.

Here are links to The Vitamin B12 Bandcamp and to a fairly decent primer, also from Bandcamp:

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

Bene Gesserit

Bene Gesserit , the music project, that is...not the mystical sisterhood of psychic witches from Frank Herbert's Dune . I could have just as easily tagged this post Human Flesh or Pseudocode or Insane Music or Alain Neffe and Nadine Bal . What I'm talking about is the Belgian artist couple of Neffe and Bal who have produced so much interesting underground, experimental weirdness since the late 70s and early 80s. They're still at it, in fact. Here's an interview with Alain Neffe from 2016: Neffe's label Insane Music was significant in the origins of 80s and 90s cassette culture and was responsible for many interesting projects and collaborations, as well as contributing to the growth of the cassette network itself (mostly by listing the postal addresses of every artist involved with the label). In spite of the significance of their work, however, like a lot of 80s cassette culture it remains obscure and very little written information about Neffe , Bal , or
