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.

new factotum summer crushers:

   

                                                fact096     developer / deceiver           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. 

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

                                               fact094     rowlands_bobby - "s/t"        c90

tapes, minimal electronics, found objects, homemade instruments, small motors, and field recordings are the tools at hand in the improv repertoire of rowlands_bobby. a newish duo of dayton mainstays daniel downing (whoracle of deco, vukmir vukmir) and matthew reis (developer, ab duo). mixing elements of free improv, a very punk take on musique-concrete and frequent trips to the hardware store, rowlands_bobby uses one hand to flip switches and the other to give someone the finger.

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

               fact093     peter j woods free jazz ensemble - "without under or gone"       c35

another release of tough as fuck free jazz, sitting nicely on the shelf with other factotum jazz gods the ames room and aperiodic. this time coming from milwaukee's peter j woods and co. recorded by reed man jason wietlispach, and rounded out by ryan bollis and patrick haga (both on drums) and mr. woods on bass and bibletron (an electronic device built inside a hollowed out bible, built by dan or earth). this is some serious heavyweight, muscle flexing jazz. think early last exit, then add more weight. 

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

                                             fact092     ab duo / proportions - "split"      c40

two dayton duos, the long running ab (eli caudill and matthew reis (developer)) and the newer group of proportions (jonathan barajas (okto media, foresight, authority etc) and ryan mattox). ab drop a weird one, even for them, with everything somehow drenched in tape warble, bells, found tapes of speeches, minimal electronics and mutated guitar all ebbing and flowing. the b side is a much darker affair, drones and distant clangs, subtle electronics, and whispered disembodied voices. proportions take things up a notch from there debut cdr on oktomedia. 

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

                                            fact091     ahlzadevelopr  - "collaboration"      c20

two of americas top cut up artist ahlzagailzehguh and developer sent scraps of material back in fourth via email and each carved all new compositions from the these blocks of sound. this is exactly what you would expect from a meeting of these two heavy weights, meticulously cut up sounds of electronics, tapes and metal thrown precisley in every direction. this collaboration will extend into the live realm at summer scum III this year, and both sides are already working on a follow up. 

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

                                            fact090     jesse krakow - "a loaf of fun"      c30

i've known jesse for years, of all the people i worked with at the old label, jesse is one of the few that i still have fairly constant contact with, and was by far one of the nicest, coolest, most hard working of all of them. you may know his name from time of orchids, pak, fast n bulbous, or his time playing for shudder to think. "a loaf of fun" is the follow up to his first solo album "i want to make fun with you" (released on public eyesore, get in touch with bryan day over there at eyesore and buy it and everything else available from that label) and it follows closely in step with the first record. 90+ songs, most under a min, of skewed pop music influenced by zappa, the talking heads and the shaggs. for fans of quirky 80s pop music and prog. hands down the funnest thing i have ever released! 

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

                                 fact041    ab duo - "monster island and other greats"     c90

part one in the dayton archive series comes this gem from the ab archive, this one goes back to 98' or 99'… featuring the duo of eli caudill and matthew reis (developer) augmented by a few friends, one of which (kevin tibbs) was fairly pivotal in this era of ab. stoned psych jams, instant composition, fun with samplers, stand up bass, bad guitar playing, bizzaro beat poetry, ab had more in common (and no knowledge of) bands like no-neck blues band and nihilist spasm band than the much more focused free improv style that have since honed. this was a free for all. odd short songs composed in real time, and tape edited on the spot. total bizarro.

fact088 stress orphan / cincinnatus c.  - "split"    c20

                            fact088   stress orphan / cincinnatus c.  - "split"    c20
the electronic equivalent of a doom/grind split. stress orphan brings the slow motion apocalypse of brutal low end harsh electronic crunch. while cincinnatus c. delivers high speed face shredding pedal fury.




                                    fact087   contrarian   -  "the age of contrarian"     c10
the worst. noisecore from dayton ohio, first "studio" recording. still sucks.





                                            fact086  pcrv / developer   -  "split"  c10
mt native pcrv delivers a track of tape calamity, sputter and hiccups. developer delivers a heavy dose of cut up electronics. another tape where the lines are blurred. an un-marked tape might actually be hard to tell which side is which.



                              fact081   ohio unsemble / josiah miller    -  "split"   c40
recorded live at battery cages for a pedestrian deposit show the ohio unsemble  unleash some serious silence! minimal quiet free improv from ryan jewell (percussion etc), jon lorenz (sax), and matthew reis (banjo etc). josiah miller is an ohio based guitar and string player/composer. his compositions mix world music instruments and an array of musical styles.





                                          fact046    ab duo  -   "alembic"   c30
the duo of eli caudill and matthew reis have been around since 1998 in one form or another(antennaeboy, ab, caudill/reis, etc), sometimes augmented by a third (meaning, some antennaeboy recordings) exploring various sound adventures. in the currant form of ab duo (see also caudill/reis) its still 100% improv as always, but it leans more towards a more high brow / academic end almost, there are still a few dick and fart jokes, but gone are the faux rock songs, the experiments with drone, the jazz weirdness. they have elevated to a higher plan of mostly acoustic free improv focused on extended technique.
