EVIL GOAT
CYCLE
TRIAD

Sound Klub #2 presents this Killer line-up of doom, metal, ambient and noise acts in a dark Sunday matinee style mini-fest featuring -

AXXONN - Brisbane - Dropping home after some 25 shows across Europe and the UK that saw them playing in underground basements in Berlin, Vineyards in Italy and abandoned hairdressing salons in Glasgow, AXXONN's, Tom Hall (Solo, Secret Birds, TRIAD) and Ian Rogers (No Anchor) hit Hobart for one show, debuting a string of new tracks from their forthcoming album recorded in Rotterdam and out Feb. 2010.

http://www.axxonnband.com/

M.O.I.O - debut show. 2 man trad doom metal group Machines of Indeterminate Origin make their debut show at Black Sunday - spacious punchy drone riffs and hard, solid drums meld into head nodding goodness. Comprising members of Bodies Drawn Backwards and Time Office, M.O.I.O is Aaron Metcalf (guitar) and Matt Warren (drums/vox).

http://www.myspace.com/machinesoio

SPHERES - Launceston - spheres was borne from a love for "heavy" music, not just metal and it's various sub-genres but also for modern composers. Spheres uses the electric to emulate the acoustic, creating density through volume. Exploring the physicality of sound and it's effect on the body using syncopating frequencies for a range of reactions.

http://www.myspace.com/spheresdrone

EVIL GOAT - is a scary pencil drawing, a gothic rock opera, a long epic intro, a sustained outpouring, an old amplifier, a black guitar, a concrete wizard. You'll see what we mean....

http://virb.com/evilgoat

CYCLE - solo guitar/laptop artist cycle generates and weaves textural swathes, melodic passages and glistening drones into sombre and restful states resulting in a quiet awe. Cycle processes and composes sounds live with a meticulous ear for detail.

http://www.myspace.com/cycleau

TRIAD - After a brief respite from embarking on their first National Tour and debut ep release, noise/improv trio Triad hailing from Brisbane and Hobart will round out this epic line-up with their first post-tour show and final 2009 performance. “Their sound is very tense and edgy with rare moments of timid, ambient sounds of the forest and nature, and a filthy, dirty distortion polluting and crackling beneath it, invading harmony with dissonance.” - The Sauce Magazine

Lacrosse is a double album with seven versions of "lacrosse", an experimental piece featuring (originally) Eugene Chadbourne and Henry Kaiser on electric guitars, Bruce Ackley on soprano sax, and John Zorn on Alto. The other takes were made a year later with a different ensemble

- Mark Abbott on electronics

- Polly Bradfield on violin, viola and electric violin

- Eugene Chadbourne on acoustic, electric 6-strings, 12-strings, dobro and tiple

- LaDonna Smith on violin and viola

- Davey Williams on banjo and hollow-body electric guitar

- John Zorn on Alto and Soprano saxomaphones and Bb clarinet

Truly crazy out there stuff. John Zorn has released billions of albums - avante garde, and also in many different genres, sometimes in the same composition. He released albums on several independent US and European labels, Zorn signed with Elektra Nonesuch and attracted wide acclaim in 1985 when he released The Big Gundown with his interpretations of music composed by Ennio Morricone.[2] This was followed by the album Spillane in 1987, and the first album by Naked City in 1990 which all attracted further worldwide attention. Zorn then recorded on the Japanese DIW and Avant labels before forming Tzadik Records in 1995, where he has been prolific, issuing several new recordings each year and releasing works by many other musicians.

Zorn's early major compositions included several "game pieces", which he describes as "complex systems harnessing improvisers in flexible compositional formats". These works, in which groups of performers improvise while following structural rules, were often named after sports, and include Baseball (1976), Lacrosse (1976), Dominoes (1977), Curling (1977), Golf (1977), Hockey (1978), Cricket (1978), Fencing (1978), Pool (1979), and Archery (1979) which was recorded at Martin Bisi's studio. His most enduring "game piece" is Cobra (1984) which Zorn first released on album in 1987 and released in subsequent versions in 1992, 1994 and 2002, and has revisited in performance many times. These compositions use cues, rules, and strategies to combine and contrast improvisations in various, sometimes extreme, ways, enlisting the talents of many downtown musicians in large ensembles for performances of these pieces. Zorn discusses his history and the musical philosophy behind his early works in the book Talking Music by William Duckworth.[24]

FABULOUS DIAMONDS is the collaborative partnership of psychedelic youths Nisa Venerosa and Jarrod Zlatic. ‘Seven Songs’ is the Melbourne-based inventive duo’s much anticipated debut CD release, following from their previously issued EP which sold out a run of 500 copies on the restricted format of 7” vinyl. ‘Seven Songs’ explores a cavernous 3rd realm of global music. Born out of an avant garde tradition that lies somewhere between classic dub, experimentalism, post punk, free jazz and pop minimalism; Fabulous Diamonds foreground a unique style and intriguing substance that come together in a hypnotic frenzy. Their music will appeal to fans of SUICIDE, THE LIARS and BLACK DICE.

I`ll be back to hopefully present from late May onwards - but I certainly hope that Tim, Nigel and Russ all come back on a regular basis to present some of their gorgeous and terrifying findings.

About the MD

The Potted History of the Musical Dissidents is a platform for the obscure, homeless sound art-files that do not get a voice in Hobart. We play the obscure and the genreless soundbytes of bygone eras up to the present and the future, drawing links here and there in the art and music worlds.

Begun with the crunching track Two/Twelve, by the now since imploded mega-avant group Triosk, the MDs was started in December '08 by Joshua Santospirito, an experimental guitarist under the name of Drive West Today, frustrated at not having anything to bloody listen to that pushed the boundaries of modern day sounds. Hoping to create a new link in the sparse community of artists and sound sculptors across Australia, Santospirito's hopes to expand the scope of the show in the near future to include connections across the globe.

If you are a sound-artist or musician with a new slant on the world of noise then please send any material you'd like played to

Oh me, oh my - how the year is flying by. This is episode 7 now and I'm almost running out of CDs to play to you ... not strictly true but perhaps you might have some suggestions as to future music to play - I'd love to get my hands on some obscure music from Australian musicians or outer-planet musicians in particular - people with strange and wonderful choice of instrumetns - weird, kooky and poetic lyrics that'll kind of twist our knickers in a knot, noise, electronic, acoustic, experimental boundary-pushing music of the HIGHEST order that will guarantee that listeners to the radio will switch me up louder and say "hmm, that's a bit odd .... "

suggestions - ?

Perhaps you make this kind of music and need to have it played - perhaps you'd like to send me a sign! or send me a CD - address GPO Box 1272, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Australia

ciao belli
see you next week

Episode 5!! 18-1-2009 Soundtracks

the inaugral 5th episode of the MDs.

Episode 5!!
The soundtrack episode - songs played will be written in a nice colour.

Ennio Morricone – "the good, the bad, and the ugly" (1966)

Ry Cooder - "No Safety Zone" from Paris, Texas (1984) a film by Wim Wenders

These two guys have worked together a few times, most notably when Wim Wenders filmed Ry travelling to Cuba to rediscover the Beuna Vista Social Club. Wim’s use of music is incredibly important to his work as a film-maker in such films as incredible Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) from 1987, or the mediocre Million Dollar Hotel (2000) which was part written by Bono – and indeed, the soundtrack feautures members of U2 amongst others.

U2 - "Funny face" - from the motion pic the Million Dollar Hotel

Passengers - Soundtracks No 1 (collection of songs by U2/Bono/Flood etc that have been made for short films and feature length films over the space of a few years).
- "Your Blue Room" from Beyond the clouds a film byWim Wenders and Michaelangelo Antonini.
- "One minute warning" from Ghost in the shell

- Bjork - "Ambergris March" from Matthew Barney's Drawing Retraint 9

In 1995, Jarmusch released Dead Man, a film set in the American West in the 19th century starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer that has been called a Western movie, an "acid western," an "anti-Western," and a "post-Western" by various critics. The film has been hailed as one of the few films made by a Caucasian that presents an authentic Native American culture and character, and Jarmusch stands by it as such; however, critics have both praised and decried the film for its portrayal of the American West, violence, and especially Native Americans.[5] The film was shot in black and white by Robby Müller, and features a score composed and performed by Neil Young.

Neil Young - from Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man "Guitar Solo, No. 3" (1996)

Other films of his that emphasise music and music culture are – Coffee and Cigarettes, which stars one of his favourites Tom Waits (who also starred in Down By Law directed by Jarmusch) along with Iggy Pop in one of the eleven short stories, GZA and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan and even Jack and Meg White from the White Stripes. RZA also did the soundtrack to Ghost Dog: the way of the Samurai (1999), yet another film that had a huge emphasis on the sound and culture that hip-hop plays in the back-streets and parks of New Jersey.

"Kind Winds" - Getro (2002) Tasmania.

The Necks - Fife and Drum from The Boys, (1998)

Musik von Harmonia - "Watussi" (1974) Recorded on three revox recorders used in a pping-pong manner. Supergroup with Jans-Joachim Roedelius, Michael Rother and Dieter Moebius.

Barry Adamson - "Mr Eddy's theme no 2." from David Lynch's Lost Highway

Tricky – "Sex Drive", from Pre-Millenium Tension (1996)

- Bjork - "Pearl" from Matthew Barney's Drawing Retraint 9

Ghost Dog: the way of the Samurai - SamuraiCode final quote (2000) produced by RZA from the Wu Tang Clan.

If you have an experimental-music-bent-band or some music that you think would fit in amongst the illustrious company played on this show then feel free to send it to Edge Radio - attention Josh at the musical dissidents.

This coming weekend will showcase the MONA FOMA Festival curated by Brian Ritchie (of Violent Femmes fame). 

 - Robin Fox`s laser show will be well worth the look: I was lucky enough to witness one of his extravaganzas in a dry river bed in Alice Springs in 2007, which totally took my breath away. His sound art alone with a 2-dimensional projection was enough to my attention ... but then he decides to take on 3- dimensions and projects through the crowd in the most amazening fashion. This is something to experience. 

 - Fiona Burnett`s soprano sax virtuosity is on display a few times for free and it`s not often a talent the likes of her comes to the Apple Isle (let alone for free) so get your skinny arses down to watch and listen. 

 - Ansgsar Wallenhorst (what a name!!) will be playing Liszst`s fantasy and fugue plus a program of improvisations based on five artworks in the festival - at St David`s cathedral next Saturday ... should be a ripper 

 - John Cage`s Two Times 4`33" as played by Manon de Boer will be playing at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery daily from the 10th Jan till Feb.
