I've already got something like 5 releases from him and I've seen other's bouncing about in news blurbs on various mailing lists. It's not that hard to get one sucker, or I mean label head to release your shite but breaking over the single release boundary suggests either something of interest or a knack for uttering nasty threats. I'm inclined to pick the former option here as everything I've stumbled across (or more accurately, that has stumbled across me) has been worth the time and electrons. "(38-40cm)" bears no relation to the actual packing size which was my initial guess so you can just add it to the rest of the non-sequiters like the song titles and project name itself. The recording is about 36 minutes long with 11 tracks of pure noise on offer. Well pure in the (mostly) beatless, odd angled glitchy sense though it is a lot chunkier and wrapped with more saturation gristle than what I normally associate with "glitch" - more like the arhythmic pulse of an ice machine as shot to MPEG1 by a low res cell phone camera. The contents this time out are a tad less scrappy and more focused on setting up an audio lean to with which to keep the rain off (i.e. semi-stable structure). It's got the feel of someone bouncing off the walls from boredom, flicking matches into the garbage to see what will happen, taking a knife to their sneakers, putting spoons in the blender and hitting "HI". Not mean spirited but definitely mischevious. The thing with Chefkirk is that even when he has his dick firmly in hand he demonstrates a skill of navigation that lets you accept the fact that you are listening to someone masturbate as if instead you were instead doting on the words of a poetic and charismatic tour guide describing the majesty of the Grand Canyon. I like this release from Chefkirk. It's got variety (microsound, glitch, cachunk noises, stutter beat deconstructions, hum and drone, resonant skree). It's also got a submerged subtlety and balance that keeps it as fresh as the faces Chefkirk is making while behind the board tweaking the controls. While it would be nice to see some releases from someone other than Chefkirk appear in my mailbox once in a while, this is one unintentional collection I will be holding onto. www.industrial.org www.industrial.org previous page | next page
