review of "Hard On/Off Hearong" by Craig Whitman

This cassette was released in celebration of Record Store Day 2011, and is a fine document of the sound of Fuck Telecorps. It features two pieces recorded both in 2011 and years previous with some post production for treatment. The cover art nicely represents the themes I will attempt to interpret for you below;


"This File Is Corrupted" begins with pensive percolations and congeals into blips with short shrieks and kissy farts. The air being let out of the squealing balloon starts the tractor and mows the synapses with dive bombers. The good sam's club banging cookware a summer evenings ritual of creaky doors and hubcaps, lapsing into a brief anti climax before the naked shower stall in the hard on/off bathtub sets the scene of a radio nestled precariously close to the shock drop while someone scrapes the egg off a plate in an hispanic kitchen of a town near you.


"Viking Fireman Inseminator"; there is nothing wrong with your tape player...maybe. Polyrhythmic polyseismic polyanthem gets the condom on/off and a clarinet squeals with erotic and implicitly trite semi poly abandon already proceeding into post orgasmic afterglow. Sex encore. The wet belly announcing the conch call of jizz jazz and orally facilitated delights. The loud climactic affirmation sees the balloon reintroduced to accompany the lewd deflowering of a peacock on a rubber matted filth floor. Applause. Balinese blues. The soulful cry; "you give to me leather, you take away my [leg?] invokes a provocative kabuki demon dance ending in a fiery and perverted sexual conquest. Elements of unsatiable lust and multiple orgasm tie this up in a well orchestrated aural theme of repeated insemination.

Fuck Um Bucholtz "Tempelcorps Ass Rash 93" (rough edit)



Fuck Um Bucholtz "Tempelcorps Ass Rash 93" a.k.a. "(P)(r)(E)(A)(Z)(A)(N)(S)(e)" (2009 rough edit)

this is a 2009 rough edit of a live Edgar Um Bucholtz solo electronics performance on WRCT 88.3 FM in the wee hours of the morning of an unknown day of 1993.

instruments used: Casio CZ-101 (in system mode), voice, analog and digital delays, parametric equalizers, feedback, tape loops and misc. other FX boxes.

this performance was inspired by sounds on the "Kosmische Musik" compilation released in 1972 on the Ohr label of Germany.
thanks to Dave Shim for turning me on to this compilation.

this recording is a cross between screeching power electronics and slowly-evolving Kosmische Musik. the original master is approximately 60 minutes. i edited out many of the transitional sections. i would like to cut it down more at some point.

listen to this the way it was created: at VERY LOUD VOLUME.

notes from the original cassette master (shown below):

"LIVE UP-UM SYNTH THESIS 1993 (NOSIED)"

"Cosmo Synth Musick (Please to Destroy)"
