onomatopoeia 'irrelevant' perverse series act 7

onomatopoeia was the project of steve fricker, known in the 90's for his memorable 'cheeses international' mail order & label. came across him either via stefan schwab's c/o newsletter or thanks to the con-dom 'the eigth pillar' LP on sfcr as steve had printed and distributed the LP's booklet. his first recording attempts i can't say that were my cup of tea... slowly he started evolving a far more better sound so sometime in mid 90's i asked him for a tape. 'irrelevant' was the result and besides a killer tape release was destined to be perverse series's final release. still today i see it as a vital turning point at least regarding the period between perverse & absurd...

it was limited to 70. steve provided 70 different flags that were glued on the tape's sleeve.


play it as loud as possible!!!

mental anguish 'mourning rendezvous' harsh 003 (harsh dept 1992)

i came across the mastermind of chris phinney & his legendary 'harsh reality music' & mental anguish project thanks to neo rok zine and a stellar compilation that was issued by its editor george priniotakis in early 90's. in it was included a hands to piece, taken from the hands to / mental anguish split LP on harsh reality. i recall dropping a line and asking for a trade... still can't recall if i send hidden $ or a trade to get my copy. however the result is that i lost my mind when i received chris's pack not only because of the lp but also thanks to the stellar releases catalogue!!! pure brainstorming... the thing you wanted to rob a bank and buy all!!!! as i was in the early steps of harsh dept i asked him for a possible mental anguish best of as he had tons of tape releases and here is the result... it was supposed to be harsh 003, to come in 1992 limited to 80 copies on a cro2 tape... never came up w/ a proper cover for it (i still see the one i had made and find it too bullshit). i doubt if were ever made 3 or 5 copies of it. remained shelved with the wish of a release sometime later. never occured. a cdr idea was in mind for sometime in early/mid 00's the same shit too... so at last exactly after 17 years (feb 92 got the master) here it's proper release... (re)issue or call it whatever! with a cover artwork from my sweet lalia!

play it loud!!!!

deison 'random screams' (tape 3 - perverse series)

i came across deison thanks to gianfranco santoro (a great pal in the early / mid 90's. guy around sin org, lsd org, mangled and many other activities).
he had issued a couple of tapes back then and as i was hooked on his sounds i wrote and asked for this release.
'random screams' belongs to some of my most beloved tape releases. and for me stands as one of the greatest deison stuff too!!!! initially out in a plastic bag. c40 tape in it and infos were xeroxed on transparent paper tape's size and glued on a broken cd.

couldn't track down in the archive a proper copy so here it is... improvise and create yours!

play loud & enjoy!!!

mnortham 'from within the solar cave' CD (absurd #10)

mnortham has been a great fave for a long long time. throughout the 90's either through contributions to my ever beloved & influential ND zine. his work with orogenetics, the texas scene of that time (jgrnich, erg, e.a.), his collaborations or solo work.
on the other hand i had promised myself since perverse series's failure that i'll never produce a proper cd again in my life... turned as homer quotes that 'lions and men cannot take oaths' (excuse the greeklish translation of this iliad quote) and when we discussed for a release in early 00's proposed 'from within the solar cave'... couldn't resist the temptation not only because of mnortham but also for the participation of both jgrznich and another all time fave co caspar (whose 'chants of change' has always been a great fave plus other material too).. so that's a little bit of how it occured... 500 copies. turned to be the 'outbreak of evil' as back then couldn't imagine the maelstrom of releases that was bound to come...

enjoy!!!!

absurd #35 - nikos veliotis & nicolas malevitsis "murder melody"

october 2003 saw a super 2:13 mini fest. as summer lazyness was coming to an end the idea of a mini fest was dropped. it was also an occasion of 2:13's 4th anniversary so a trully stellar night was set up. probably one of my favest nights in smt, as far as i'm concerned regarding both the pals we played together, the audience and the whole atmosphere.

one of the night's sets was a duo with nikos veliotis (cello) and me (mr. absurd) on turntables. a reductionist influence in the sound? you can say so... still a fave moment...

at least regarding smt's vs. absurd relations since that time till now i still call it 'a calm before the storm'...


trivia... title was picked from the doc savage 'murder melody' novel. that time i was downloading various 30's pulp from blackmask.com (i think it has ceased to exist) and doc savage stories were some of them. saw myself getting them all on a cdr and asked nikos to pick up a title from the list of all novels included in the cdr so here it is...

happy listening... (don't worry you won't die from the melody as happens in the doc savage novel...)

absurd #14 - die feine trinkers bei pinkels daheim 'hungerhaken’s speckrolle'

the 2nd feine trinkers release for absurd was a solid track (though while you listen to it you feel like it could have been split to pieces) in an almost different nature to 'papagoyenboom'. insanity still is around but in a different mood.

it also turned to be absurd's 1st 'found cover' release. the cdr was packed in a newspaper and had this photo used on the cover. without 2nd thoughts and as i liked it picked it and used it.

regarding artwork... a kinda 'fake leather' on 1 side paper was used. however as it had to be turned too while being printed nearly half of the copies has the print on the backside and the rest the kinda bookleather cardboard one...

maeror tri 'archaic states' (absurd #7)

maeror tri is one of my favest 'ambient' projects and was one of my favest for the 90's too! i mostly liked their harsh (i dare to say 'trance') side and perhaps not their so 'mellow' moods but their soundscapes were always seting up absurd's office on fire, as they still do!
initially 'archaic states' was a tape on akifumi nakajima's (aka aube) 'g.r.o.s.s.' label. was issued sometime in early 90s. upon hearing it i fall in love with the 2nd side. i liked the 1st but the 2nd was and still is an all time fave piece... 'blowing sounds from a dome' maeror tri's monstrous 30 min piece recorded to be sent as raw material to rudolv eb.er and use it, together with other participant's material for schimpfluch's legendary 'stuhlgangblockade n!' LP (there was also a tape issue of it on the italian old europa cafe).
fall 90's reissue saw a different cover and layout based on photos of beeba christopoulou, an artist that lived at the same building that absurd's main graphist (frankly i should say co-partner in crime) maya lavda.

listen and listen especially loud 'blowing sounds from a dome'!!!
enjoy!
