UMonomania Of Instinct

Gold Soundz GS#012

CD
£7.99


Noise-Maker’s Fifes have been around on the fringes of the Industrial/sound-art scene for aeons now but their recent work has seen a real acceleration of ideas. Monomania Of Instinct is a hand-numbered edition of 250 that presents a live performance from Stockholm, June 10 1998, a 65 minute interaction between live music on self-made sound-sculptures, video images and performance. Inspired by Lautréamont’s Les Chants De Maldoror, eerie declamatory vocals combine with metallic rustling and sawing drones to create a sort of Organum/Harry Bertoia/Mirror type hybrid. No coincidence that these guys have recently been working with Christoph Heemann. Comes in a slim black and white gatefold package.

Black case C-30 cassettes in black/yellow fold-around paper cover. Edition of 50.” – GS.
