factotum summer 2015

         

fact099                         matt weston                 -                                                      c30 

vol 2 in the factotum percussion series, matt weston brings us the most song like tracks yet. layers of percussion, stings, keyboards, horn of some kind, feedback, electronics, by far the most adventurous in the series.

fact101                       michael kimaid             -                         "drift"                         c40 

michael kimaid delivers us the 3rd vol in the factotum percussion series. you may know kimaid as former stickmen for snap case, but most likely you know him for his work in KBD, the toledo  duo with gabe beam, who also runs the amazing robin wood concert house in toledo. this recording starts off with a storm of muscular percussive free destruction, then moves to a more and more minimal pace as the tracks progress. bowing, minimal playing, almost silences. this has been my favorite of the series thus far. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       

 fact103                           blake fleming              -        "live and alone in new york city"     c60

vol 4 of the factotum percussion series is brought to us by none other than blake fleming, drummer of the early incarnation of mars volta, dazzling killmen, and laddio bolocko to name a few. this recording was recorded live in performance as part of the our silent canvas production, "echo the elements on april 29th 2011 at st peter's churck in chelsea, nyc. blake performed solo on drums, gongs and cymbals… the b side is the a side in reverse to reveal the hidden codes.                   

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         

fact106              developer & hostage pageant         -            "remixes"            c20

shane and matthew sent each other a bunch of scraps and they both molded 10 min tracks from the fodder. breakneck cuts, loops, thick murk, all the clangs and bangs you expect. harsh as fuck. if you are a fan of either artist, you need this. if you are looking to check them out for the first time, still not a bad place to start. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

 fact108                    rowlands_bobby                -                 "III"                        c60

rowlands is joined by a 3rd on their 3rd releases. jonathan michael caldwell, stand up comedian, dj, noise god, uncomfortable human being, joins daniel and matthew  in a foray into tape speed fuckery.  three recorders, a few pre-recorded sounds and three mouths create a surreal cacophony of astounding sounds. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       

fact109                  whoracle of delco               -           "too little, too late"               c40  

lots of you touring noise types who play in the midwest probably know daniel downing from playing the brickhaus, his hq for all things delco products. some may know him as the other half of rowlands_bobby with matthew from developer. some may have seen a him perform or have one of his one off cassette releases (no two are alike) as lost cat. whoracle of delco sees dan's foray into cut up harsh noise. the term harsh is used quite loosely here. field recordings and found sounds vs harsh noise collage. highly recommended. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   

  fact110                     rowlands_bobby                 -                   "for"                 36 pg.     art zine 

rowlands_bobby is also a brilliant artist. this is his collage art, whoracle dan and developer matt displaying there cut up skills have no limits. art zine full of  broken dreams, disappointment and other kid friendly adventures. bleak man, bleak …

spring 2015 factotum tapes. 

               fact096                     deceiver / developer             -                   "split"                      c10

water torture / v.o.c. bassist matt (phil) goodrich's brutal hnw project deceiver drops a 5 min sandblaster of low end wall pummel. on the flip side developer answers the inertia with a clusterfuck of light speed breakneck heavy cuts, silence, and weirdness. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            fact097              plagues / developer               -              "split"                             c10

p.e. master brandon hill bestows upon us a malicious maelstrom of total brutality. this track sounds like the audio representation of pure hell.  developer's b side while a mess of cut up harsh weirdness, still seems to carry over the longing vibe from the a side via the beach memory at the end. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              fact102               thirteen fingers / developer                -             "split"                c10

two short side long stabs of brutal cut up harsh noise from two of americas finest. side a, thirteen fingers hits us with "massacre" a harsh glitching hic-up of crushing, unrelenting harsh noise. on the b side developer deliver a mile-a-minute cut up of harsh noise, filter madness, percussion, fucked up loops and squeaky doors. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        fact104                    matthew reis              -           "malignant slumber "           34pg         art zine 

this is the first collection of collage works by sound and visual artist matthew reis. best known for his sonic work as developerand teeth collection or his work with such diverse musical groups wasteland jazz ensemble,humane qunea orchestra, altars, footbinder, ohio unsemble, muck, heart of the whore, black almas, etc or remix work with +hirs+, water torture, hyrrokkin and others, he has just as long a history of making covers flyers and personal works. while co-running the epicene sound systems label reis created the covers for the majority of the 100+ cassette and cdr releases for epicene's side label ESR. running the factotum tape label on his own ever since epicene's closure, reis has either curated or created the art and layouts for the entire catalog (also at 100+ releases). this collection is comprised of tape and cd-r covers, work from other out of print zines, personal works, and images originally made for flyers going as far back as 1999. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          fact105              developer & tinnitustimulus              -            "remixes"                 c30

large amounts of raw un cut audio was exchanged via email. lots of techniques of cutting and pasting were then applied. loops were made, sounds were treated. and the end results.. two side long slabs of 

showcasing each artist ability to make all sound there own by perverting the other artist original sound sources for their own pleasure. and thankfully ours. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            fact107                    rowlands_bobby            -           "2nd"                    c90

2nd c90 from the men behind dayton cut up soloist developer and whoracle of delco, slow it down and weird it out. while echoes of the super crushing harshness found on the first tape can be heard, they decided to stretch there legs out on this one. melting string sections, ghost radio frequencies, raked leaves, tension you can cut with a knife make up the brutal beauty of this barrage of what the fuck.
