C. REIDER – Some things I did when I lost my mind CD-R (Vuzh Music, 2002) € 8.00 Der Titel ist durchaus ernstzunehmen: Ein sehr authentisches experimentell-atmosphärisches Album von C. REIDER aus Colorado, aufgenommen in einer depressiv-psychotischen Phase, wo sich die Wahrnehmung seiner Aussenwelt radikal veränderte... aus dieser Zeit stammen die hier dokumentierten Aufnahmen aus knarzigen Drones, fremdartigen Stimmensamples, ständig steigen störende SoundEffekte an die Oberfläche, eine fremd-organische Bedrohung ist direkt spürbar in dieser Musik... ein surrealistisch-klaustrophobischer Trip !
C. REIDER – Aughtet CD-R (Vuzh Music 019, 2003) € 8.00 Stunning work from C.REIDER where he works with human language which is processed & computerized extremely.... listen to totally fragmented voices, like in a dissociative or psychotic process, when language looses its meaning or gets a new one....the whole creates an unsettling atmosphere....very much recommended ! “c. reider's tendency to manipulate the human voice into weird patterns is explored to its fullest on this release. Voice samples from friends were rendered into rumbling guttural grunts, incoherent alien poetry, spiky shards of plosives, singing where once there was no singing, and smooth grains of foreverness. 99% of the sound sources on this recording come from someone's mouth.” [label info]
* APOLLON – Nox CD-R (Vuzhmusic VUZH020, 2003) € 8.00 Another (so far, for us) unknown name on C. REIDERS CDR-label is APOLLON, creating distracting loop-ambience with strange samples & ethnic tunes, sometimes really hypnotic... 15 quite different tracks... worth checking out, reminds us on some works of BIG CITY ORCHESTRA. "Nox" is an ever changing tapestry of dark sound vignettes, with gritty and foreboding loops of ethnic percussion and smokey ambience, recalling the works of Zoviet:France and Muslimgauze. Apollon's Martin Lee-Stephenson has been working in the experimental "genre" for many years under different pseudonyms. He has been credited in some way, either as producer and/or artist with over 100 releases to date, including collaborative work with such well-known experimental artists as Muslimgauze and Pigface."
