Visszajáró/Lezet - Split released with SP RECORDINGS (USA)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPNet066 - Visszajáró/Lezet - Split
File under: Noise/Soundscape/Experimental

Visszajáró and Lezet bring their native Serbia to life with a collection of brittle, cold compositions. Visszajáró's material is more aggressive that Lezet's, the former forging their sound experiments with guitar noise and shrill keyboard that strikes quickly and retreats. This material could easily be the soundtrack to a European arthouse horror film. Lezet takes a staid approach, accompanying more subtle guitar noise with bells and other sounds made with glass. This combination brings to mind hazy dreams of warmer days. Both artists fill their soundscapes with a cold atmosphere, removed from the normal plain of existence, but swirling very close, oddly present. This split is an excellent winter companion.

La colère des escargots est-elle perceptible ? Y en a-t-il des exemples ? Comme elle est sans aucun geste, sans doute se manifeste-t-telle seulement par une sécrétion de bave plus floculente et plus rapide. L’on voit ici que l’expression de leur colère est la même que celle de leur orgueil.
L’expression de leur colère, comme de leur orgueil, devient brillante en séchant. De plus elle est éphémère et ne dure que jusqu’à la prochaine pluie. Ainsi en est-il de tous ceux qui s’expriment d’une façon entièrement subjective sans repentir, et par traces seulement, sans souci de construire et de former leur expression comme une demeure solide, à plusieurs dimensions. Plus durable qu’eux-mêmes.
Mais sans doute eux, n’éprouvent-ils pas ce besoin. Ce sont plutôt des héros, c’est-à-dire des êtres dont l’existence même est œuvre d’art, - que des artistes, c’est-à-dire des fabricants d’œuvres d’art. Mais c’est ici que je touche à l’un des points principaux de leur leçon, qui d’ailleurs ne leur est pas particulière mais qu’ils possèdent en commun avec tous les êtres à coquilles : cette coquille, partie de leur être est en même temps œuvre d’art, monument. Elle, demeure plus longtemps qu’eux.
Et voilà l’exemple qu’ils nous donnent. Saints, ils font œuvre d’art de leur vie, œuvre d’art de leur perfectionnement. Leur sécrétion même se produit de telle manière qu’elle se met en forme. Rien d’extérieur à eux, à leur nécessité, à leur besoin n’est leur œuvre. Rien de disproportionné – d’autre part – à leur être physique.
Rien qui ne lui soit nécessaire, obligatoire.
Francis Ponge nrf Gallimard in Le Parti pris des choses

Frédérique Bruyas:
À lectures vivantes, verticales, Frédérique Bruyas donne la Parole à l'Autre. À voix haute et ouverte, elle donne corps aux auteurs. À travers des objets d'art appelés livres. Elle entre dans le texte comme sur une scène, chaque mot a son corps, chaque geste éprouve un caractère, en chaque silence bat une substance.
Frédérique Bruyas visite les livres à manière organique. Elle en fait entendre l'inouïe. En chaque bouche, elle épie le derme. À travers ses lectures, se courbent des genres, s'enflent des catégories grammaticales, défluent et se gravent des étymologies.
Chaque vocalisation décrit un objet, une histoire, un phénomène physique. À flux lents, saccadés, à débits rapides, à grands jets de répétitions, à insistances lettrées, Frédérique Bruyas géo-maîtrise, ces petits objets d'art tombés sur la terre, à angles doux. La lectrice nous livre le moment même où le mot s'ouvre à sa propre peau, où l'histoire va forer puis ériger un événement comme un mouvement cardiaque.
Aux lectures de Frédérique Bruyas, on n'est jamais seul dans la fiction - on arpente seulement les mots qui manquent. Sous la façade des livres, on perçoit des rumeurs, des fantasmes, les visages du ciel, des bribes d'opéras.

FROM The (HE)ART of THE BEAST...
PENTLICZEK it's a solo project founded in 1997.



He's a Polish artist tranferred in Italy from the age of six years. He founded in 1991 with David Saggiorato the Kor-at, group of industrial music experiences in which he plays the percussions. The band does some concerts and does soundtrack of the remake of the film of David Linch “Eraserhead”, realized by a Turin independent film maker. Unfortunately recordings of that period do not exist.
In 1992 he left Kor-at and he recorded the first solo job with the Glockenspiel name, published like demotape.
In 1993 he founded BIANCA BELMONT with Alberto Pasino. The band, been born like duo, increases to five elements in 1995, with Renzo Razzano on second bass, Marcello Turco on trumpet and Max to the saxophone. They recorded two demotapes, respectively in 1993 and 1995, both remastereded in the end of 1995,and edited dy Setola di Maiale.
Between 1997 and 1998 he recorded and published the first “homely deliriums” with the name of PENTLICZEK, using ethnic percussions, instruments, guitars and tapes. he participated with this project in some compilations of the sicilian label Snowdonia: “Orchestre Meccaniche Italiane” (1997), “Sbim Sbam” (1998), “International Gluttons” (1999).
In 1998 he begans to collaborate stablily with Stefano Giust and his SETOLA DI MAIALE label, he defines Stefano: the “better companion to sonic deviating lines” and with him he founded the "anti-jazz" project called GBUR.
In the recording of the first job of Gbur, beside the two members of Bianca Belmont (Renzo and Marcello), joins Paul Caleo, eporediese musician and architect.
In 1999 the original line up always changes and in place of Renzo and Marcello there was three new elements: Ivan Pilat to sax and baritone and Daniel “el desviado reverendo surrealista” Pagliero,also knows like LO DEV ALM to the electronics and Maurizio Suppo aka Dimensionidol.Caleo Paul who originally played the guitar now handle one instrument self builded, named “Caleophone”. With this line up they plays in Venice in 1999 on occasion of the 48th BIENNALE and the next year to the Leoncavallo in Milan for the OFFEST meeting of Italian independent labels.
In a night of December of 2000 it records with Stefano Giust and Daniele Pagliero a series of unexpected traces that will come later on published with the name of BABELIS PROJECT, always on Setoladimaiale and in coproduction with the Mexican label GENITAL PROD.
In the July of 2006, at a distance of eight years made a new record under the name of Pentliczek, published for Setoladimaiale.

"Labels are not a new thing for Luxembourg, but on the Internet, they have been rather rare so far. Soundzfromnowhere were the first to try this approach, but lately Schnurstrax Records have been all over the media by not only releasing local and international artists for free, but also by organising quality electro shows. In March, it was therefore time to stage a first release party, which was also the first time they released an album that people have to actually pay for.
The album starts with an ambient piano soundscape from Irish band JC+GK, which would be more fitting to end a CD. Bulgarian artist The Chair Listener is next with a moody electronic track whose melancholic bass line is counterpointed by faster and friendlier 8-bit beeps. On it goes with French/Canadian duo Komparce who also profess ear-friendly ambient electronica, where again a dark backdrop leaves room for consoling synth melodies. One half on the opening act returns as @ and delivers this time rhythmic brooding electro sounds with a recurring plucked string melody working a hypnotic effect on the listener. Chicago two-piece Company Of Big Beats recorded their debut album in the mid- to late-Nineties, and combine the post rock inheritance of their hometown with repetitive beat patterns. The Tobacco Company is an experimental outfit by Schnurstrax label owner Ralph who shows himself from a more ambient sound on this track. How Do You Get Your Inspiration from Luxembourg play a freeform collage that sees an acoustic guitar filtered through god knows how many effects, ending in something which could be found on one of those crazy early Seventies krautrock albums. Protecious from the USA bring finally the compilation into a more musical direction. Their humorous combination of krautrock sounds with rock and funk elements shows that there is also a lighter side to Schnurstrax Records. Local rock troubadour Raftside offers a track from his album "The Desperate Life Of Johnny Sunshine". Onde Orange, a former guitarist of French glam rockers Pink Diamonds who didn’t convince me so much at the Schnurstrax release party, is heading into freewheeling psych rock with untamed guitar freakouts. Short but just the kind of stuff Julian Cope fans should get into. The longest track on the compilation is reserved for Tvesla, who finally, more than two years after recording, have finally released their album full on angular instrumental noise rock songs. Local shoegaze icon Sug[r]cane collaborates on his new works with Japanese artist Baa Rec, whose guitar adds a bit of crunch towards the end of this otherwise rather typical composition. Fracture is the better known alter ego of Schnurstrax Ralph, and his new material shows a lot of depth and maturity, making his songs accessible little dark electro pop gems. Artaban are seemingly unavoidable these days, and their instrumental electro pop has this aesthetic coolness of early Eighties classic. It takes some time to get used to their music, but once they get you hooked, there is no running away. Airstrip One, also knows as Fred from Grand Duchy Grooves (another local electro label) has recently often been seen teaming up with Fracture, but on this solo piece, he combines experimental big beat electronica with aggressive hiphop sounds. Strange but original! Serbian experimental artist Lezet’s piece is a short meditative item that prepares for the end of this compilation, which comes with Cyclorama, also guitarist for psych rockers Karma Lounge, but more electronic as a solo artist, although still embodying elements of bands like Ozric Tentacles and Spiritualized, although the featured track is a mellower foray into trip hop beats.
This first Schnurstrax compilation starts with experimental ambient electronica, then takes a turn into more rock based items before ending again more electronically, although with the locally better known artists. This subdivision makes for an interesting listening experience, and although most songs can be acquired legally for free – Schnurstrax is still a web-based label – it’s a good thing to support them by buying this album which gives a good survey of their catalogue."by Pascal (disagreement.net - independant e-zine based in Luxembourg)
