DVR - DIII

over on the dvr bandcamp i dropped this gem...

a couple of years ago a label that shall remain nameless, had an idea for a series of tapes where the artist uses/destroys another artists work. most people went to reworking non-noise material, i was of no exception...

for whatever reason, this series never took off (at least my tape wasn't done). i still very much love this track. it's built using danzig III as a source. and i turned it into a ghostly hissy mess. if you know the album well you'll here some real familiar parts and could easily follow along if you played them side by side. it's on bandcamp now, and it's a name your own price download, even $0 will work so enjoy...

OTHER HNW BANDCAMPS

TAKING A CUE FROM A VIEW FROM NIHIL:

HERE ARE A FEW OTHER HNW ARTISTS BANDCAMP PAGES:

A View From Nihil
Anarcho Freaks Production
Die Reitenden Leichen
Finality
Hash
Placenta Lyposuction

DVR BANDCAMP

I ADDED A DVR BANDCAMP PAGE, MOSTLY BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFERENT WORK FROM GRIZ+ZLOR AND CURSED AETHER MATERIAL, AND WOULD DO BETTER ON IT'S OWN LITTLE ISLAND.

http://devotionalvocationalrecreational.bandcamp.com/

RIGHT NOW HOW THE SOIL IS NAMED IS ON THERE,
$1 PER TRACK JUST AS DOWNLOAD, OR BUY THE PHYSICAL RELEASE
FOR $5 (+SHIPPING IF OUTSIDE THE U.S.)

ONCE I'M OUT OF DISCS IT WILL BE CHANGED TO FREE.

OUTPUT:NOISE DOCUMENT NO. 011 [DVR]

OUTPUT:NOISE IS NOT A SET GROUP, IT'S NOT A PERSON IN PARTICULAR. IT'S AN IDEA BASED ON IMPROVISATIONAL MUSIC/NON-MUSIC, SOMETIMES THERE ARE SET RULES TO THE COLLABORATION AT HAND, SOMETIMES THERES NOT. THIS DISC IS AVAILABLE FROM O:N VIA SUBSCRIPTION ONLY, AND FEATURES JEREMY DZIEDZIC AND PAUL DEVER, BOTH ON VARIOUS ELECTRONICS. THIS MATERIAL IS MORE IN-LINE WITH MY DVR MATERIAL, NOT REALLY HARSH (IT HAS IT'S MOMENTS), MORE DRONEISH, BUT IT'S TRUE FOCUS IS ON MOOD AND THE EXPLORATION OF TONES AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH EACH OTHER. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT I ALWAYS SOUND GOOD WITH OTHER PEOPLE (DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S BECAUSE I SUCK, OR AM JUST MORE OF A TEAM PLAYER THAN I THOUGHT). IT'S A GOOD BET, I'LL REAR MY UGLY MUG ONTO FUTURE EDITIONS OF O:N, AND IT MAY NOT SOUND THE SAME AS HERE, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WITH IMPROVISED MUSIC, A SNAPSHOT OF THE ARTISTS IN A SMALL MOMENT OF TIME...

INTERNETS SOUNDS...

CURRENTLY THERE ARE A FEW OPTIONS TO HEAR MY TRACKS ONLINE, BANDCAMP AND SOUNDCLOUD. I'LL PROBABLY CONCENTRATE MORE ON BANDCAMP IN THE FUTURE:

NEW HORIZONS + OLD WRECKAGE PT.I

NEW HORIZONS:

i always wanted to, even from the beginning, make my own set-up, so it would be a one-of-a-kind thing.
my gear whoring has always stood in the way, i've started the long process of selling off most of my gear.
so i have no choice but to make my own in order to record, a bit of tough love on myself, but i'm sure i can follow through. so one could only expect a bit of a hiatus until i finish my gear purge and begin/complete the making of new equipment.

i have about eight releases out in the aether at this point...
i expect to see four of them materialize at some point, the other four i've given up hope on long ago, for the best i assume, i probably wouldn't like any of that audio now...

Cursed Aether - i think has run it's course, maybe it'll appear again, but there are no other current releases planned for this project, and i might get to uploading the mp3's for this project soon...

DVR - i have one last thing to record for now, then i'll purge that gear and follow suit with a new era of electronics... a few early works will be uploaded shortly

GRIZ+ZLOR: the last official recording (for now) will be the 12 month cassette tape swap hnw edition, there is of course muff obsession II, but again that won't be credited to anyone in particular (the muff is the only thing important), a collaboration with infirmary has been in the works for a while now and is probably the only thing kinda imminent on the release table... some early works, and some wreckage that just never made it will be uploaded asap.

Mystic Soul Alliance -  is done, anything i have done under this name will fit under the dvr banner. all this work will be uploaded asap...

WRECKAGE:

here are some un-realized releases as well as some un-used artwork for real life releases...

Devil Man was supposed to be a 1 of 1 tape using a recycled cassette box, well i never got to actually recording it and it's for the best, the label came right off... (p.s. same story for metamorphosed into stone)

Huginn & Munnin

thought and memory, Odin's Ravens

was gonna be a double cdr set available individually as well.

Here's the original layout for the Audial Decimation comp booklet...

it really needed color, even though the statue series was all b&w

The original single tape version looked a lot like the deluxe version,

i just thought that needed to change.

Following are a series of layouts for the Enemata tape, which may never come out,

that's probably for the better though, and certainly no hard feelings, times is tough all over.

a random image made from the statue images used on adr, i like the way it looked,

just no way to use it at this point.

and finally metamorphosed into stone, same story as devil man

CURSED AETHER - IV

repost from Desiccated Husk. I'll add more thoughts/reviews when they come in.

CURSED AETHER - IV c-100 edition of 40 copies
(standard norelco boxed, and standard d/s color printed insert [even though the artwork is all b/w]

like all cursed aether, 

the track is a very minimal no movement...

recorded 12.31.09 during the Blue Moon

(also happened to be my birthday)
it looks like Muff Obsession II is gonna be quite a few more months away so i won't hold this back any longer.

$5 u.s  $6 everywhere else

p.s. no trades on this right now.
that will change in a couple weeks though hopefully.

DVR - HOW THE SOIL IS NAMED...

DEBUT 3" FROM THIS PROJECT

DVR IS MORE OF A CONTINUATION OF MY FAILURE OF A GREAT MACHINE WORK, JUST IN A SOLO SETTING. SO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING I CAN'T SAY WITH GRIZ+ZLOR/CURSED AETHER I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH DVR. SO EXPECT LOTS OF VARIATION OF RELEASE TO RELEASE (OR Y'KNOW MAYBE NOT...)

PUT TOGETHER USING SLOWED DOWN DISTORTED TAPES, I BUILT ONTO THAT USING THE DRONE COMMANDER, AND THE BASTARD NOISE ESQUE SQUEALS COME FROM MY BENT IBANEZ POWERLEAD THAT I HAD ALWAYS MEANT TO USE FOR F.O.A.G.M. BUT NEVER DID.

GRIZ+ZLOR PATCHES

SCREENED BY PHAGE TAPES
8" X 5" (ROUGHLY)

USING ONE OF MY LOGO ASSEMBLAGES I PROVIDED FOR THE THIRTEEN FINGERS/GRIZ+ZLOR/MIKE PAYNE/BACULUM SPLIT.
SAM (PHAGE, BACULUM, GRAINBELT...) DID A REAL NICE JOB WITH THESE.

GRIZ+ZLOR - HEAVY MASONRY

(ORIGINAL LABEL DESCRIPTION FROM EARTH.SPACE NOISE)

GRIZ+ZLOR - HEAVY MASONRY 3" CDR

ONE 21 MINUTE TRACK OF NON-EVOLVING TEXTURE.

VERY BLEAK, HOUSED IN A SPRAYPAINTED FLAT BLACK SLIMLINE 3" CASE,

WITH A GLOSS BLACK SQUARE STENCIL PAINTED ON.

16 COPIES ONLY.

KINDA SELF EXPLANATORY, AS I WROTE IT. A NICE MONUMENT, MAY SEE A WIDER RELEASE AT SOME POINT.

REVIEW FROM MUSISQUE MACHINE

'Heavy Masonry ia all about creating a very thick & constant black jittering wall of evil sounding & murky static tone. Inside the black spray paint of black plastic case Griz=zlor offers up just over twenty minutes of grim, nihilistic yet rewarding 'wall' making.

The tracks 'wall' is built around a mid-pace rolling & crunching static boil which has some nice speaker rippling & crackling semi tones come off of it. At times it feels like jitters & crackles could suddenly join-up together & speed-up into all out overload, but they never do. It just keeps a steady, mid-pace & entrenched path through-out which over time becomes very hypnotic & additive as the 'wall's  almost stuck groove really digs into your head. The whole track fells like your sliding slowly down a vast black slop of shadowy form& everywhere you look up, down, and from left to right is this juddering static fog that has more pitch blackness in it than white light; and it just seems to be getting thick & more engulfing the longer the track goes on.

Another excellent example of pitch black, thick and unmovable slice of 'wall' making from this Pennsylvanian based one-man project that has been active since 2006.

V/A - BRICK BY BRICK 3" CDR BOXSET

FROM SMALL DOSES

IT WAS AN HONOR TO ONCE AGAIN BE A PART OF A MASSIVE COMPILATION, WITH SUCH ACCLAIMED ARTISTS.


ORIGINAL LABEL DESCRIPTION:


harsh noise walls. seven acts. seven different approaches. seven different results. one disc by each: a view from nihil, ryan bloomer, four flies, griz+zlor, infirmary, vomir, white plague. seven 3" cdrs packaged in a hard plastic binder box with a 12 page booklet, vomir's manifesto, and a 1" button.


REVIEW FROM MUSIQMACHINE (EDITED FOR RELEVANCY HERE):

'Brick By Brick' is an impressively presented, distinctive looking & sonically quality bound collection of Harsh Noise Wall material. The set offers up seven HNW artists who get a 3inch disc or twenty minutes worthy of space each. The seven discs come in a very neat & classy small plastic box which has black ink on black paper outside cover & inside the box you find a twelve page booklet detailing each track, a near A4 manifesto by Vomit & a 1” badge/ button. Each of the seven discs has it’s own plastic see-through sleeve which is attached to the box by two little plastic ring binders- as I said a very classy, distinctive & thought out package. ... On disc four we have a twenty minute untitled track by Griz+zlor & it’s a nice example of this projects often storm bound, thick & murky take on HNW. The track really feelings like your trying to make your way through a high wind tearing, snow heavy storm- it’s very thick, near unchanging yet rather for filling in it’s constant & brutally hypnotic attack. ... All told a very nicely presented & thought-out celebration of the steadily growing HNW scene, which works as a wonderful primer for those who have still to taste this extreme but often exhilarating & hypnotic form of Noise, but i'ts also a must have item for anyone who’s already an admitted wall addict. To buy direct drop into here

CXXIV - UNTITLED

FROM JESHIMOTH ENTERTAINMENT

TO SAY THE LEAST IT WAS RECORDED DURING A HECTIC TIME IN MY LIFE. THE LOGO ASSEMBLAGE WAS AN ATTEMPT AT A PORTRAIT ARRANGEMENT. I LIKED IT BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF A SPINE WITH SHOULDER BLADES AT THE TOP (NO RIBCAGE). BUT I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT...


ORIGINAL LABEL DESCRIPTION:


A massive 20+ minute black monolithic wall of deliriously crumbling harsh noise. Anonymous and bleak frequency shifts and mind-erasing static battery. LTD TO 50 COPIES

HERE IS A REVIEW FROM MUSIQMACHINE:

CXXIV: Untitled offers up a frying, crumbling & thick 20 minute track of Harsh Wall Noise by Griz+zlor- the HWN project of  Philadelphia based Paul Dever (Failure Of A Great Machine & earth space noise).

CXXIV: Untitled kicks straight in with a very thick wall of sound that is a mixture of frying, hammering rain type noise textures, & just at the back of these textures is this low down drone texture which becomes very hypnotic as the piece goes on really sucking you nicely into whirling maelstrom of HNW. I really like the way Dever keeps the track constant & thick through-out, yet he nicely mangers to shift the tonally qualities between: heavy static down pours, frying in sound fat fast simmers, jack-up ‘n’ rolling hammerings & fast crumbling tones. There's also some really neat sort of stretched spray paint like hissing static textures of noise coming in towards the end of the track

Another great slice of HNW that’s primed for full submersion & blocking out the world around you. With Dever cutting the track to the optimum HNW length of 20 minutes- meaning you have enough time for it to infect & engulf your head yet not enough time to become boring or stayed.

Audial Decimation Compilation Vol.1

A Review from an unknown source (i'll separate what's relevant if possible):

Griz+zlor: Brutal walls of chunky, grinding noise attack you from your speakers at the onset of this track. High pitched pings float over the chaos. The noise moves and shifts as lower throbs make their way to the surface. The amount of variation and time length makes Statue003 a standout track among the sea of strictly noise artists who dominate the scene.

A Review from Plaguecast:
http://plaguehaus.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=191&Itemid=27

Griz+zlor - Statue003: Wall Noise can get kind of boring if the artist has no purpose or sense of direction. The Griz is definitely one of my favorites because he suffers from neither of these maladies. Using a statue as the source sound, it carves it’s way around the brain folds and inserts enough variety to keep you guessing.

A review from Antimodene Tonträger:
http://amt.blogsport.de/2008/09/22/review-va-audial-decimation-vol-1/
“Statue003″ by Griz+Zlor is a nice contrast to the predecessing tracks. Overdriven, saturated and static waves of distortion with minor or almost no movement. Very harsh.
