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)"

April 27, 2009 update:

Fuck Telecorps "Ha Ha, Your Mushrooms Are All Gone" (hi res)

Fuck Telecorps

"Ha Ha, Your Mushrooms Are All Gone"
(video version, 1994)

for Ray Caperoon

audio and video production by Edgar Um Bucholtz

audio version released on NOISE WAR compilation on Mother Savage Productions/RRRecords & Sounds For Consciousness Rape in 1994.

this is a re-upload. hopefully it looks/sounds better than the first version.

this piece was edited using PANASONIC S-VHS video decks (and various analog and digital effects.) the video is junk and wasn't meant to be seen. looking back on it, it's sorta cool. so here it is.

i believe Mother Savage has plans to re-release NOISE WAR as a multi-CD set sometime soon. hopefully i can re-master this and get it to them.
