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

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

Diana Rogerson

Long-time Nurse With Wound collaborator (and Steven Stapleton's former partner), Diana Rogerson has put out a number of brilliant solo albums over the years (her albums "The Inevitable Chrystal Belle Scrodd Record" and "Belle De Jour," both released under the alias Chrystal Belle Scrodd , have been prized possessions in my vinyl collection for several decades). Those who are only casually familiar with NWW and its many contributors might not realize that. In fact, Ms. Rogerson deserves a lot more credit than she has received, in my opinion, for both her solo work and NWW contributions. Her most recent solo outing "blue bottle in a jam jar," released as a digital album on Bandcamp in 2021, is a case in point. An album that is beautiful and strange, humorous and unsettling in the best possible way (on par with the best NWW, or Diana's previous Chrystal Belle Scrodd albums) was released with little fanfare and virtually no critical attention.
