I recently received a small parcel from local
underground comic book legend Kurt
Beaulieu. He send me a small zine and an audio tape. `Painful Defecation` is senior Beaulieu`s own solo noise \ experimental noise project.
I have maybe five or six different Painful Defecation CD`s at my home. Even
though I`m open to almost everything, I`m not a particular fan. The CD`s are
full of songs (which is a good thing) but most of said songs are too short and
seem to fall apart. They sound like samples or rough drafts i.e. unfinished
pieces. This is a hsort cassette (under 23 minutes) with seven tracks. Here`s a
small description of what`s in store for us….
1- le docteur
Manta reapparait: meditative ambient noise (recalls Forbidden Planet
soundtracks at times).
2- grunderzeit:
alien experimental muzak & low-fi beats (simply adorable).
3- Sonia et
Lilly; low-fi beats colliding with weird noise bytes and processed voice
(welcome to strangeland brothers and sisters).
4- german sex
(pedo bear mix); ambient noise done with various processed sounds.
5- la seconde venue de Maurice Papon:
peaceful, yet meditative ambient noise.
6- mormor, mor,
mor, mor: more ambient noise.
7- blorp exz:
low-fi electroacoustic noise maybe?
I`m impressed, this is the best Painful Defecation
album. All the songs are pretty damn amazing, they flow well together, highly
recommended. I wonder if Kurt is still using and old Mac to record is stuff.
I`ll try to get an interview later on. You can download a bunch of albums here:
The man`s got his own blog too:
