2nd factotum edition of 2010...

MEANING – “ OPEN POCKETS”

Sound sources include synth, voice, tapes, guitars, banjo and other stringed instruments, half a drum kit, amplified metal objects and various bits of junk. All of the above are prepared and or treated, played with a bow, e-bow, brushes, screws, forks, twine, twigs, mallets, metal rods, springs, and other such things at least half the time. Sort of musical, sort of fucked. Long running trio of the guys behind Teeth Collection, Original Tongues, and Plasmic Formations

FOOTBINDER – “DEVELOPING AN EXIT STRATEGY”

drums, bass, electronics and tape collages, four stacks, drunken hollered vocals and no guitar (cuz who the fuck needs it) = musique-concrete and electro-acoustic maneuvers overtop of fucked hardcore played like a caveman’s math equaion. Vocals and noise held down by M. Reis of Teeth Collection.

GNARLY SHEEN – “DANGER DANCERS”

Morgan might be better known as half of swamp horse, or a former member of cadaver in drag… but Gnarly Sheen is all Morgan, and it’s all fucked. It’s the audio equivalent to a crusty metal dude throwing up at the parking lot carnival cuz the acid was just too pure, all the sounds and faces melting. Most out and out bizarre thing on Factotum thus far.

INTERSTATES (ETC.) – “AND I FELT CLOSER TO GOD…”

I met Athens, Ohio’s Brandon Greeter at the first Athens noise fest, and i was totally blown away by this tape he gave me in a trade. Brandon agreed to give me some material, and it’s one gorgeous piece of work. Slowly unfolding lush guitar sounds that slosh like a child in a digital bath.
