Nice Hair Wulfgar - NHW-07-16-11 Sessions- The Wadsworth Project (mp3)

This is an ongoing project featuring Kris Gruda ( bass guitar, objects, vocals, loops, cassette tape, electronics, and keyboard), and Dan Reaves  of Trotsky`s Watercooler ( using thing, electronics, synthesizer, samples, percussion, and various objects). I always find it hard describing experimental noise (harsh stuff is easy, just think of Merzbow, The Haters, MSBR, etc, etc). It`s easier to do a small description of each tracks, here goes:

1- Meditation- Before and After: meditative ambient noise with electroacoustic undertones.

2- I Am Calling: low-fi, rhythmic noisecore.

3- Slow Movement Does Not Lessen the Merciless Onslaught: more rhythmic noise, good stuff.

4- A Message From Wulfgar: voice recorded backwards + synth + various unidentifiable noisy objects = a creepy, paranoid, outer worldly experience.

5-  May Solitude Become Shapeshifting Chaos: ambient noise \ electroacoustic  experimentations .

6- Wulfgar Can And Will Dance: nearly song oriented noise with lots of amazing percussive elements.

7- Transformative Wall of Death: synth lines + low-fi frequencies (the best way to end this).Get it here:

C.A.N.S. and Trotsky - Operation Teapot & Lafayette's Swindle (mp3)

I said it before and I`ll say it again, I like Dan Reaves various noise \ musical projects. This time around it`s a short (nearly 14 minutes long) two songs mini album. I was expecting experimental noise and \ or harsh stuff, but man, was I wrong here. This is a collaboration between senior Reaves and Dana Young. Let`s start with:

1- operation teapot: beats + lil noise bytes \ bursts + synth + various samples + tight sequencing = near techno dirges with a spacey (space-out) atmosphere. I love this shit!!!

2- Lafayette`s swindle: beats + percussive elements + synth + light noise bursts (which goes into smoother moments, feels like ambient territory) = sounds like Tetsuo The Iron Man doing some type of digital hardcore raving, damn straight boys and girls!!!.

Trotsky`s Watercooler – gas money (CD-R)

Trotsky`s Watercooler is the solo noise project of mister Dan Reaves, from Orlando, Florida, USA. I like this album, it`s not harsh noise. It`s even relaxing at times. There`s six tracks and a grand total of 52.07 minutes of experimental noise. And here`s what it looks like:

1- is this thing on: low-fi frequencies (almost ambient noise) + various banging & grating = bringing me down the road to hell.

2- Mount Fuji eruption 1707: random percussions + banging + harsh distortion  (there`s something dark running in the background too).

3- happy birthday, your dying: percussions mixed with weird frequencies, providing almost musical qualities = noise techno maybe? Feels like slowed down and toned down and stoner version of  Pan Sonic..

4- for granpaw meeker (live at Austins, Winter Haven, Florida):  short light distortion \ frequency burst + grating \ scratching in the background = noise which melts in your mind not in your mouth.

5- untitled – untitled larvae cerebrum: there`s some type of dark synth line colliding with various noisy doodads = definitely meditative material here.

6- caetera desunt (rest is lost): a mashup \ a mix of various noisy stuff (distortion, phasers, what the fuck) = a chaotic infernal joyride indeed. I can`t wait to hear some more. More information here:
