New tape: Mark Barrage – Surplus Behaviour

MARK BARRAGE

Surplus Behaviour (CS/DL)

Hard-paste electronic collage and isolationist composition made in Brisbane and Melbourne bedrooms in the early 2000s by Australian producer Mark Barrage. Secret, psychosexual arrangements for low-bit recorded organ, synth, primitive drum machine and consumer electronics rendered heavy by rudimentary computer edits, thickly fogged production tactics and a zero-budget.

This is complex and dark stuff in the spirit of Australian electronic mavericks Garry Bradbury and J.G. Thirlwell, made in the last days of private recording and personal occultism.

DRUNK HANDS: SUITE FOR PIANO

Drunk Hands
Suite for Piano [EMR-009]


I. Deliverance
II. Security
III. Departure

Three-part album recorded on a public access piano at Preston Market in Melbourne. Piano accompanies the incidental/environmental sounds of the location as midnight passes: security guards saunter, structures creak, fridges enter cyclic defrost, deliveries are unloaded, trains pass, mosquitos meet their electrified fate and occasionally a pedestrian drifts by – yet the quality of deep suburbia asleep is never disrupted.

"[Suite for Piano] captures the strange allure of fluoroscently lit public environments in the dead of night: walkways and thoroughfares passed by millions, suddenly dead."

–Crawlspace

CROSS BROTHERS: LIVE AT RAT PALACE

 

Endless Melt unveils its first release for 2013, a new cassette from Tasmanian mainlanders, Cross Brothers (siblings Daniel and Patrick Cross). 'Live at Rat Palace' documents a recent performance at the artist run space in their former hometown of Hobart. Devolving the audience's collective ear with thirty minutes of unraveling guitar munge, punctuated by unwound anti-rhythms at every turn. Imagine Dead C playing free jazz or Masayuki Takayanagi's New Direction Unit following its most self destructive urges. 'Live at Rat Palace' follows Cross Brothers on a descent into vertical nihilism, plenty of horrors escaping their twin six stringers before settling in the void.

Tapes available at the show. Edition of 25.
