Hello all,
I have released a new CD, "Bum Crab Hatband", through the website
electro-music.com. The list admin, Howard Moscowitz, has graciously
written a favorable mini-review. My own mini-description follows.
"Bum Crab Hatband" mines the territory out near the far end of
socially acceptable behavior. Atonal, virtually non-melodic,
rhythmically warped, and highly dynamic, it really defies
categorization. Realized with a small Doepfer outfit (less than 6U)
plus some smatterings of other instrumentation, this music invites
the listener to reassess his or her expectations of what constitutes
the beautiful via rather surrealistic juxtapositions of sonic
strangeness. Through a confrontation with the unfamiliar conjoined
with inklings of echoes of the past, delicious dislocations become
possible.
