more developer weirdness

so last nite at the pregnant spore show here in dayton, i did the first DEVELOPER GROUP set... this one being the DAYTON DEVELOPER GROUP as it was in dayton... same idea as developer, but instead of mostly tapes and my other stuff as the sources, i used other ppls line ins and had a full 12 memeber group consisting of all dayton ladies and gentlemen (and justin mark lloyd sat in as well)... below is the link for the track... thanks to the participants: ben=vob, jimi=skintape. nikki=lepor colony, jonathan=foresight, luke=being, katie=kanible, jmm=john molony, bill=amusiac, britney=???, jml=pregnat spore, stu + dan =vukmir vukmir, dan rizer=glom, and myslef. enjoy

some other things around the bend, tapes by the ames room, a.saunders, aidsblood, and more in the unofficial 1913 flood activites series of splits of dayton, ohio artist.
Image
fact033 kanible/the vehicle - "split" c40.
Vol. 5 in the unofficial “1913 flood activities series” of Dayton, Ohio splits. this vol couples an actual married couple (who also play as a duo called mandible). side A is kanible with her super bizzare blend of spoken word, harsh noise, and strange "improv" sounds. side B is the vehicle doing his super dense miasmic layered eq thing. shit is crazy.

Kanible: http://www.divshare.com/download/15174888-6a6

The Vehicle:http://www.divshare.com/download/15174900-b9e



Image
fact035 wood&rope / developer - "split" c30
Vol. 6 in the unofficial “1913 flood activities series” of Dayton, Ohio splits. first release from wood & rope. super harsh blackened noise from the man behind the black metal group altars. developer drops more uber spastic harsh cut up weirdness, some have called this developers best work to date.

Wood & Rope: http://www.divshare.com/download/15174931-011

Image
fact036 clviii / developer - "split" c30
Vol. 7 in the unofficial “1913 flood activities series” of Dayton, Ohio splits. the 2nd apperance from clviii in the series sees him further honing his dark caveman electronics, adding more space to the dense harsh grossness. developer hands in another track from the same sessions as the w&r split, adding more depth.

CLVIII: http://www.divshare.com/download/15175040-8af

Image
fact038 jerk - "death testament" c30
cleveland's jerk (featuring the line up of david, wyatt and adrian) spill looped filth all over some spatic drum rants and brute guitar noise and david's awsome vocal dilivery. 30 mins of fucked up no-wave noise weirdness.

fact039 jack callahan / matthew reis - "split" c30
callahan and reis here both delivering side long acoustic tracks for "percussion", callahan's side is for snare and random percussion, reis' side is prepared banjo and random percussion.

fact040 weathers & glover - "english import plastic" c40

new tapes are coming finally.

ok so i had another year of personal tragedies so everything got held up, also the plant is super behind so the pro dubbed HUSH! series is pushed back yet again... the plan had been to do all tapes pro dub from here on out... but the plant has kinda proven to not be as reliable as they are suppose to be.... so the HUSH! series will be pro dubbed... and some tapes here and there will be pro dubbed... but for the most part... i will just continue to dub at home, and keep trying to get each batch to sound better than the last. so anyway... the last batch to get released was never actually posted here... so before i post the new stuff, i will get the older stuff posted... and a list of whats still in print. thanks everyone for your support and patience with me, life always get in the way of the work, but we keep plugging away. so in the next month or so expect to finally see the new tapes, some of which i've been talking about for over a year now.... man thats lame.

NEW LP:


Image

FACT032 JOSH LAY & TEETH COLLECTION - LP
Factotum tapes and HUSK RECORDS are beyond proud to announce the official release of the JOSH LAY & TEETH COLLECTION collaboration LP. Recorded in 2008 by Josh Lay in Nicholasville, KY, the lp was suppose to be released the same year, but was shelved do to the failing economy (thanks bush), and now finally sees the light of day. Ltd to 200 copies (!!!! you can also order from husk = huskrecords at yahoo dot com!!!!) in black jackets, hand screened with white ink, and dusted with dark blue paint. Each copy comes in a poly sleeve with an insert and a cd-r attached to the back with a hub. The material on the cd-r was previously released as a dbl cassette on factotum and contains two more tracks from the same session as the LP, and one solo track each. The covers were designed and screened by Matthew Reis. The material is of course two sidelong brain scrapers from inside the ghost factory… exactly what you would expect out of a collab from these two

Image
Image


NEW TAPES:


Image
FACT024 CAUDILL / REIS DUO “distance between strings” c40 (continuing my foray into (mostly) acoustic sounds, here as a duo with elisha caudill of original tongues. Prepared guitar, prepared banjo, bells, double bass, and various devices, free improv style with mass focus on drone)


Image
FACT025 TWO SUNS – “the roots above / ditchcraft” c90 (eli of original tongues and josh of plasmic formations. A song cycle of beautifully crafted synth / guitar pieces. If you’ve dug any of the recent plasmic stuff, imagine it layered with even more melodic lines. Kind of like a pink floyd space jam interpreted by nels cline.)


Image
FACT027 MEANING – “glass cemetery” c60 (this one is more subdued than say open pockets. This has a more flutes played by a babbling brook kind of vibe… spiritual or some shit, and then in other spots it’s like subdued no-wave… I want someone else to explain what meaning sounds like… it gives me a head ache trying to explain it.)


Image
FACT028 AB – “the minds of consumers” c40 (turntables and tape decks, all thrift store finds, bizarre mix of sermons and world musics. Total freakout weirdness from the long running ab duo of myself and eli (yes same line up as caudill/reis, but drastically different.)


Image
FACT029 TIME CAPSULE “3 cites” c60 (synth, baked electronics and garbage… im keeping these short, but there is a long story behind this that I will post later.)


Image
FACT030 ORBITING FORMATS / ENVENOMIST spilt c30 (two sides of the ohio synth coin… david reed’s (of luasa raelon) envenomist delivering the darkness as promised. And pusdrainer’s Justin lakes drops what im told is the last tracks from his orbiting format project.



Image
FACT031 WETHER – “idiots in comas” c20 (totally weird subtle shit from mike haley, very unlike any other wether release… I honestly listened to this on repeat for like a month.)


Image
FACTO034 ORIGNIAL TONGUES – “volume and participation” c60 )elisha caudill us a guitar wizard, writes songs that he calls “folk”, constructs intricate musique-concrete pieces, and can garble electronics with the best of em, sometimes he does this all in one track. total mind bender.

Image
FACT037 DEVELOPER --- c20 (harsh musique-concrete. Two side long tracks recorded straight to tape.)


OLDER TAPES:
(some recent releases that went under the radar and I made a short run of oop TEETH COLLECTION tapes for the sept sale, and for Milwaukee Noise Fest and have a few left over)

FACT009 TEETH COLLECTION – “objects of metal and tape” c60 (acoustic / amplified metal and magnetic tape.)

FACT012 MEANING– “open pockets” c60 (very few left. Packaged in roofing tarp. weirdo improv from elisha caudill, josh fink, and myself. Sound varies from session to session. Open pockets is kinda a blown out, frantic, free improv brawl. )

FACT014 TEETH COLLECTION – “pepaw… for harley dill” c60 (prepared banjo, all acoustic. Highly personal work. )

FACT016 TEETH COLLECTION – “misused glory” c40 (more banjo and bells, stuff I worked out while working on “pepaw”)

FACT017 FOOTBINDER – “developing an exit strategy” c20 (my fkd up “hardcore” band… caveman mathrock with a dump truck load of noise on top. No guitar.)

FACT019 GNARLY SHEEN “danger dancers” c40 (morgan is one of the dudes that runs husk records. Gnarly sheen is fkd. Super baked bizzaro world shit.)

FACT020 INTERSTATES ECT. c30 (guitar/synth bliss drone. Gorgeous stuff. Brandon greter from Mansfield ohio)

FACT021 MEANING – “sun cradles the moon” c60 (there are some weird song like moments on this… makes me think of snappy spy music, but I don’t know what that means exactly. There are also some really serine blissed out moments… kinda new age… )

FACT022 JOHN MOLONEY / I AM FORESIGHT split c60 (jmm=harsh, slow evolving drone, iaf = fast harsh/weird, ex-tngc. Both from dayton ohio)

FACT023 DIAPHRAGMATIC / DEVELOPER split c20 (diaphragmatic = metal on metal harsh (recent skeleton dust tape destroys), developer = my spastic harsh cut up shit)

FACT026 CLVIII / GHOST OF OBTUSE split c30 (clviii = blackened psychedelic harshness, goo=super harsh beats and vocals, both dayton)

2nd factotum edition of 2010...

Photobucket
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
FACT012 C60 LTD TO 50




Photobucket
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.
FACT017 C20 LTD TO 50





Photobucket
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.
FACT019 C40 LTD TO 50





Photobucket
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.
FACT020 C30 LTD 50

new teeth collection release on Together Tapes, ordering info below:
Image
Teeth Collection "The Together Tape" c30 / $6 ppd US / $7 Can/Mex / $11 World
Totally stoked to do this tape for longtime friend Matt Reis and his ongoingly excellent Teeth Collection. Matt has been an abuser of metal for as long as I've known him, since our days together in Yes,Collapse when he built a whole drumset out of oversized metal scrap to this current, far more restrained, scraping, clattering sounds of the clumsy workshop. Often the hiss of the room itself is the dominant sound until the throb of perpetually offended junk arrests the ear in the maelstrom whipped from Matt's frenzied destruction. Full color j-card with b/w interior and mag-scrap labels. Edition of 50.
