Developer – OOBR004 (C30, Out-Of-Body Records)

Developer is Matthew Reis, who’s also behind the noise project Teeth Collection. As you can see, Developer’s not really into naming his works (most of his other releases are simply the tape number), but his harsh noise on OOBR004 is significantly more complex than this. The sources of the sounds alternate immensely, and often found sounds and samples make their way into the mix during the quieter times before calamity strikes.
The harsh noise on this cassette is often cut-up, with a nice rough sound that often jumps from different textures quickly. It’s all very fast-paced and chaotic, but with these jumps often comes certain ambient touches that add field recordings, whether it be water running or the gritty pounding of drums. There are also portions of silence, stop-starts that add an interesting element to Developer’s work. Some of the harsh noise sounds similar to what other cut-up artists have been doing, but Developer often allows certain samples to loop for a little while before continuing on.
The most important part of OOBR004 is that it knows what samples are worth looping. When Developer falls into these bits of stasis, they’re rhythmic sections that are nicely nuanced, with a little variety within them. They’re not quite drones, and that means that along with the harsh spits and sputters of the feedback and static, there’s also just a little bit of staccato and melody that is quite pleasing. It’s an interesting project, one that will often change from release to release depending on the sound samples and the context that Developer would like to create.

IF15 - Developer "IF15"
c30 Edition of 50
Harsh music concrete and tape assemblage from Matthew Reis. A prominent member of Ohio's experimental music scene, Reis (Teeth Collection, Factotum Tapes) has become synonymous for his explorations of electro-acoustic music. First with his Teeth Collection project and now under the guise of Developer, Reis has moved into exploring the areas of tape-based harsh noise and music concrete. Reis's style of improv tape music takes cues from Burrough's cut-ups while forging a new kind of (harsh) experimentation.

decayREVIEWS: DEVELOPER “OOBR004″ CS (2011)

Posted on February 29, 2012 | Leave a comment

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DEVELOPER “OOBR004″ C20 (Out Of Body Records, 2011)

DEVELOPER "OOBR004" cs (2011)

dEVELOPER blazes forth sharp, visceral, hills of harsh noise walls, pausing and chopping for various lengths only to punch back in at the oddest time where your ear-mind just begin to orientate itself to the sound, and then it slices-dissappears-kills back in again. Super high pitched feedback blasts knife their way through blown out bass hammerings, and then swell together to once again enduce a choppy form f nausea. The parts of this tape that work best for me, are where it gets really choppy, as opposed to the places where the walls build up to a point of density where things become blurred and sashed out, but this never happens for long, as DEVELOPER stays on the pace quite swiftly throughout the majority of the A side. Roaring, pummeling mechanized broken up loops sift through the blown out pillars of chaos and take brief rests, before jackhammering the cavity with thousands of white noise ghosts. The more the tape goes on the less and less breaks there are between the chaotic buzzing walls, yet it never totally looses it’s chopped aesthetic and frenetic pacing. Developer’s style, on this release at least, doesn’t come off as a bunch of tracks piled upon each other digitally, but rather a line-in style of recording where the cuts are being made live, I have no REAL evidence of this, but that’s the “organic” nuance that I pick up from the aesthetics of the pacing and editing, done quite well.

Developer – 00BR004

Journalist Name: Joseph Gates
Artist: Developer
Title: O-O-BR004
Label: Out-Of-Body Records
Cat. # O-O-BR004
Format: CS
Genre: Harsh Noise/Industrial
Tracklisting:

01 Untitled
02 Untitled

Interesting stuff- spastic and cut-up noise from the American mid-west. I do not know much about this project except that I think that it is a guy from the mid-west. Different in feel from the previous releases on Out Of Body, this one doesn’t have that tripped-out feel that I have come to expect. This is really spastic cut-up noise with some beats and kind of almost dance or jungle aspects to it. It sounds more like Sickness or something like that rather than something that I would really spend a lot of time listening to. Ultimately it has the effect of feeling like a series of pneumatic drills or electrical shocks have made themselves present in one’s mind. I find that this sort of noise stuff seems to be getting a lot more popular as of late. Artists like Grain Belt and Custodian have been getting a lot of renown for making this kind of random and aimless noise sounds, basically like a whirlwind of different sounds to disorient the listener with an aesthetic based around industrial sounds and complete random chaos. I can tell from listening to this release that this artist is a talented guy who puts a lot of effort into what he does. The complex nature of the material displays that in an undeniable manner… I had a tape by this guy on Skeleton Dust that was maybe a little more in a pure harsh noise direction and this one seems to have an influence coming from the dubstep or jungle genres.

One thing about the mid-west that comes to mind immediately is the fact that it is very close to Canada. Also, it is sparsely populated and sometimes people eat a processed fish recipe (called Lutefisk I think) that smells and tastes strongly of Lye. The music on this tape kind of reminds me of the way that Lutefisk smells. It’s cool- there are a lot of things that people enjoy in the mid-west that I do not enjoy, and lutefisk is one of them. But I do like Developer. I remember hearing the tape on Skeleton Dust and thinking, “Hey, who is this? This Developer guy is pretty good.” That tape was about twenty minutes, and this one seems to be about the same length. This one has a way more spastic and erratic sound to it, you just don’t know what is going to happen next. Another thing about this cassette, the name of the album is the catalog number of the label. How often do you see that? Hmm. Very minimalist project, I guess it’s a Marshall Machluhan kind of thing, like “the medium is the message.”

So, the Out Of Body records label is always a sign of quality, but this one is on a different tip than most of the OOB stuff. Crazy cut-up noise stuff, not the kind of dark, molasses-thick death industrial noise that the label is so awesomely oriented toward, but it is cool to see Rob putting out some stuff from this project, sort of bridging the gap between Texas and the midwest a little bit. Spastic and violent in the construction- all over the place and brief noise blasts on either side of the release. Nice tripped out art on the front by Rob, and as always a great print job and presentation for Out Of Body Records. Might be enjoyable for fans of stuff like Sickness as well as the aforementioned mid-western noisy type of stuff… this is real balls-out no frills noise that might give you a headache. Will possibly bring out the animal in you.

Rating: 4.5/5

Developer "00BR004" cs

Developer

00BR004

Out of Body Records

(4)

This is the first noise tape in a long time that, surprisingly, reminds me a little of Merzbow. You would think that would come up a lot more often and maybe at first everything kinda sounds like Merzbow or Massonna to people but the glitchy, harsh, spastic, intense noise on this cassette reminds me of Merzbow. Specifically from like twenty years ago. It's pretty nostalgic listening to this one. I think when I was about 18 years old and I was buying noise tapes and records I was thinking that I was doing something that would scare girls and therefore they would think I was interesting and then want to show me their boobs. I was an idiot. Clearly. But I got to listen to a lot of really amazing work back then and of course from the availability and already massive catalog, Merzbow was a constant for me. When Pulse Demon came out and I discovered I could actually own a Merzbow shirt I think I actually worn it everyday for a month. Developer is intense. I don't know if rocking early 90's Japanese noise is what they were going through but I suspect they have a pretty extensive knowledge of noise and how to make it. Developer makes me feel young again. Young and very not laid.

Developer – OOBR004 C30

Developer – OOBR004 C30

Out-of-Body Records

Developer is the harsh noise project of Matthew Reis, better known for being the man behind Teeth Collection. Utilizing the catalog numbers as the titles themselves, Developer’s sound is one simultaneously harsh and strange. With smashing industrial sections that constantly devolve into straightforward harsh noise in one way or another, ”OOBR004” takes on a sound that won’t be unfamiliar to harsh noise fans but contributes things like weird field recordings to add a bizarre edge.

The transition here is constant while maintaining a harsh noise base that is just as constant. Everything here is fast and aggressive. Reis utilizes heavy loop usage a la Merzbow tastefully; the hammering industrial rhythms provide a balance to the schizophrenic pacing. There are elements that recur throughout the tape that unify the sound as a whole; this tape may sound random but the composition here is great. Sections range from straightforward feedback assault to distorted rhythmic sections slowly stretching out over time to field recordings and even ambient.

”OOBR004” takes on a sound of classic harsh noise yet adds things to the equation to make Developer’s sound stand out somewhat. In its entirety, this tape isn’t particularly original but would be a good addition to any harsh noise fan’s collection.
