Bardo Pond - 4.3.06 [2006] / Bardo Pond & Pre - Split 10" [2007]

Bardo Pond live @ The Maze, Nottingham. Thursday 30th November 2006.


For years, I compared Bardo Pond to Sonic Youth, for anyone who had either never heard them or heard any of the lesser known bands similar to them, only because Sonic Youth is the most famous band that sounds kind of like Bardo Pond. The second comparison would be to My Bloody Valentine. But, over the years, Bardo's sound has evolved, and these comparisons are no longer accurate. Nowadays, to be precise, one must use references from all spectrums of rock, and even avant garde jazz, to describe the full fuzz of Bardo Pond.

Trying to use no comparisons at all, imagine the sound of an electrified hummingbird: sometimes there will be motion, with twists and turns in their songs; other times, the sound is feverishly kept, hovering in place. Bardo Pond creates an intense wall of sound that you expect to break through your skin, but, instead, it just hums and buzzes all over you.

The Secret Machines [2008]




“The band has always been more than our individual egos; we’re no less The Secret Machines now than we’ve ever been,” says singer/bassist/keyboardist Brandon Curtis.

When his brother, co-founder/guitarist/vocalist Ben Curtis, left the band to focus on his band School of Seven Bells in early 2007, Brandon and drummer Josh Garza knew this didn’t mean the end. The energy and emotion that The Secret Machines fans responded to over the last decade, and continue to seek, was intact. Rather than pull the plug, they carried on with their towering third album, Secret Machines.

Longtime friend Phil Karnats, who played with Ben in the Polyphonic Spree precursor Tripping Daisy and filling in for Ben, was installed as permanent guitarist. “He’s an equal third member, musically,” says Josh, who says Karnats was a part of this record’s earliest sessions. “Ben is obviously irreplaceable,” adds Brandon , “but the transition to Phil has been very easy.”

Unfazed and undaunted, and in an industry where even the smallest task can prove Sisyphean, The Secret Machines carved its own destiny. “We didn’t know what was happening with Warner,” Josh says, “but we thought if we were going to go out, we might as well go out with a bang.” In June 2007, the trio went into Manhattan ’s The Magic Shop to record (and Electric Ladyland to mix). When Warner Bros. balked at getting behind a “new” band, The Secret Machines chose to self-release the new album in collaboration with World's Fair Label Group. Josh calls it the album they’ve “always wanted to make.”

Secret Machines also marks the first record on which the same core—Brandon Curtis, Josh, Karnats, and producer Brandon Mason—were used throughout the entire process, from the earliest demos to the final master. The continuity shows in the final results, in the expansive instrumental swells, in the hooks and phrasing, in the tracking itself. Opening with the disaffected, futuristic verse-chorus “Atomic Heels,” The Secret Machines embark on a journey where their appreciation for the Beatles, Zeppelin, and Krautrock is clear but not derivative or bromidic—and they crank up the volume.

Other influences bubble up as well: “Last Believer, Drop Dead” straddles the fence between Pink Floyd atmospheric philosophy and Manic Street Preachers glam-bratty Marxism; “Have I Run Out” sets the Floydian existentialist trip set to drone-y apocalypse; “Underneath the Concrete” marries Devo’s automaton quirk to the Psychedelic Furs’ fashionable introspection.

Electronic Evocations: A Tribute to the Silver Apples [1996]

This tribute to the unique late-'60s electronic duo Silver Apples features 11 space rock and indie pop bands of the '90s who obviously have great empathy for where Silver Apples were coming from. This tribute was originally issued on vinyl. Simeon (half of Silver Apples) was surprised when he came across it in a NY record store. When he took it home and gave it a listen, he "was completely bowled over." And with good cause -- with performers including Windy & Carl and Third Eye Foundation, it's a great listen for those who enjoy the original Silver Apples' music. In 1996, this tribute was reissued on CD and, encouraged by the renewed interest and attention, Simeon revived the Silver Apples and returned to the studios. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide


Track Listing :
  1. Windy & Carl : Program
  2. Scardycat : You & I
  3. Third Eye Foundation : I Have Known Love
  4. Flowchart : Lovefingers
  5. Sabine : Dancing Gods
  6. Outrageous Cherry : Misty Mountain
  7. Alphastone : You're Not Foolin' Me
  8. Lorelei : Oscillations
  9. Monitor : A Pox on You
  10. Amp : Seagreen Serenades
  11. Tranquil : Ruby

Clear Horizon [2003]


Jessica Bailiff has recorded and released three solo recordings on kranky. David Pearce lives the U.K. and spent most of the 90s in a band whose name he'd just as soon not mention. If the words "rural psychedelia" mean anything to you; you can probably figure out what band. Or, as Jon Dale wrote in Signal to Noise about the debut Clear Horizon release; "If the album in toto brings a few memory shards forward in your mind, so be it."

Clear Horizon was recorded over the course of two years, as Bailiff and Pearce exchanged tapes across the Atlantic. Each member contributed vocals and guitars and layers of effects, piano and percussion gradually accumulated during the recording process. The debut, self-titled CD/LP was released in November, 2003. Since then Bailiff and Pearce have met in England to record face-to-face. The process, so far, has involved songwriting and improvisation.

Kawabata Makoto - Infinite Love [2002]

Your ears(hearing) estan destined to feel a sharp to tremble with eardrum and rock stairs working, for the sanctuary of the community of the soul that his wisdom opens in the master, creator of seconds free of fertilization in the progressive old man of mantras psicoassets, that they discover new paths where to look at the horizon, with his cigar of marijuana.

Tus oídos estan destinados a sentir una aguda cosquilla, temblar de tímpano y escalera de roca esculpida, al santuario de la comunidad del alma que desplega su sabiduria en el maestro, creador de segundos expancivos libres de fecundación en el viejo progresivo de mantras psico-activos, que descubren nuevos senderos donde mirar el horizonte, con su cigarro de marihuana.



























Kawabata Makoto

guitarist, performer on numerous traditional instruments, composer, improviser, mixing engineer, producer, leader of the Acid Mothers Temple, speed guru.

"Music, for me, is neither something that I create, nor a form of self-expression. All kinds of sounds exist everywhere around us, and my performances solely consist of picking up these sounds, like a radio tuner, and playing them so that people can hear them. However, maybe because my reception is somewhat off, I am unable to perfectly reproduce these sounds. That is why I spend my days rehearsing.
Where do these sounds come from? Who is sending them out? That is not something for me to know, and neither is there any way that I could find out. I simply believe that they come from the 'cosmos'. (Maybe other people would call God the source). Since I was a small child I have been prone to hearing ringing sounds in my ears and other sound phantasms. At the time, I believed that these were messages aimed directly at me from a UFO, and so I would gaze up at the sky. But once I started playing music myself, I came to feel that these noises were a kind of pure sound. And I promised myself that one day I would be able to play those sounds myself. It is only recently that I have begun to feel that I have been able to come close to reproducing these sounds in my solo guitar work, and in my INUI project.
However, in June of 1999, I finally discovered my own 'cosmos' and I experienced an instant of total union with it!! That 'cosmos' is still tiny in size - although any cosmos can, by its very nature, be infinitely huge or infinitely small. The energy and vibrations contained within that it far exceeded my imagination in scope and beauty. I can only describe the miraculous instant when my 'cosmos' accepted my consciousness as MAGIC."
(Kawabata Makoto. July 8th 2000)

Tom Carter - Skyline Grinder [2008]

The audio composed by the teacher Tom Carter, who works on a disc together with Bard Pond, bases on the perfect plain for experimentally flights of guitars with reverb, echoes and delay, slowly there are created figures that repeat the keynote of the pace to levels of mental leaks, astral colouring trips, you must be cautious and to understand(include) that the work of auditory digestion is expanded and opened for the creative thought in the inertia, bony(osseous) not to stimulate your trip with anything any more, understand that there can be side effects of addiction to this music.

El audio compuesto por el maestro Tom Carter, quien trabaja en un disco junto a Bardo Pond, se basa en la planicie perfecta para experimental vuelos de guitarras con reverb, echoes y delay, lentamente se van creando figuras que repiten la tónica del ritmo a niveles de escapes mentales, viajes astrales coloridos, usted debe ser cauto y comprender que el trabajo de digestión auditiva sea dilatado y abierto al pensamiento creador en la inercia, osea no estimular su viaje con nada más, entienda que pueden haber efectos secundarios de adicción a esta música.

Heavy Winged - Alive in my Mouth [2008]

Un anuncio al contraste de saturación que sigue rumbos espaciales de generación en generación, el llamado proyecto de experimentación es un trabajo fino y se representa por este disco en su forma de árbol, con diferentes posiciones en el cielo logra alimentarse de las particulas dañinas que emiten nuestras maquinas modernas, un gigante pulmón en la naturaleza del mundo, creado con amor y fuerzas paralelas unidas, sigue el ritmo, sigue aún despues de muerto.

An advertisement to the saturation contrast that follows spatial courses from generation to generation, the so called project of experimentation is a thin work and is represented by this disc in his form of tree, with different positions in the sky it manages to feed of the harmful particles that express our modern machines, a giant lung in the nature of the world, created with love and parallel close forces, follows the pace, continues still after dead man.




















TLR 060: heavy winged alive in my mouth LP

released may 12, 2008. last summer's cd release for heavy winged, blacc lust, flew out of here and really seemed to find a good home with folks. following up on that response comes the massive and dense blowout that is alive in my mouth. comprised of two of the band's dirtiest and, quite simply, heaviest tracks, it is music for tearing down physical walls. in a small departure from some of our recent vinyl titles, there will not be a bonus cd for pre-ordering the record. instead, every copy of the album will come complete with a cd that features both of the album tracks in addition to a "bonus" 17 minute track. everyone wins! alive in my mouth is be from an edition of 647 copies pressed on 180g RTI vinyl. the record is housed within heavy art sleeves bearing new artwork by michael canich (click here for a larger version of the artwork) and letterpressed by dexterity press (the same folks who we teamed with on sarin smoke's smokescreen).

Magnog - Self Title & More Weather [1996 - '97]


The origins of Magnog are in Seattle, Washington band Space Helmet, which essentially split up into Magnog and the more noise-based Hovercraft, circa 1993. (Magnog's drummer and Hovercraft's guitarist are brothers.) Magnog's lineup consisted of Jeff Reilly (bass, guitar), Dana Shinn (drums), and Phil Drake (guitar), with all three also singing and playing keyboards. After sending three ninety-minute demo tapes of lengthy improvised jams, recorded between 1994 and 1997, to Kranky Records, the trio recorded an album for the label with Jessamine's Andy Brown as producer. The eponymous album was released in 1996, drawing comparisons with 1970s German Krautrock bands such as Ash Ra Tempel and early Tangerine Dream.[1]

The following year, tracks from the demo tapes were selected for release as the double CD More Weather. The band then played the Vienna Jazz Festival and opened concerts on a tour with their friends Pearl Jam.

After the band broke up, Reilly made further records as Octal, including an album for former Spacemen 3 member Sonic Boom's label, Space Age Records.

Gown - For The Maples + CD bonus [2008]

Gown es una cubierta de terciopelo que dentro de sí esconde trayectos e historias del basto infinito espacial, locaciones extraterrestres llenas de instantes contemplativos, la inmensa gama de utensilios recolectados crea la fuerza de su núcleo, y absorbe líquido orgánico extraído de las neuronas insertas en la persona de Andrew Macgregor, el sonido es una base de datos que debes tener en cuenta a la hora de escuchar el disco "For The Maples", donde al igual que un libro sagrado, su beneficio es un aprendizaje importante de valores culturales en vías temporales para el mapa del universo desde el primer impulso inicial, basta de palabras, basta de ser manipulados, comienza ahora.

Gown is a cover of velvet that inside yes hides distances and histories of the infinite spatial pack-saddle, extraterrestrial leases full of contemplative instants, the immense range of gathered utensils creates the force of his nucleus, and absorbs organic liquid extracted from the inserted neurons in the person of Andrew Macgregor, the sound is a database that you must bear in mind at the moment of listening to the disc " For The Maples ", where as a sacred book, his benefit is an important learning of cultural values in temporary routes for the map of the universe from the first initial impulse, is enough for words, coarse sewing of being manipulated, begins now.


























TLR 058: gown for the maples LP

released january 28, 2008. gown (aka andrew macgregor and otherwise known as one-half of the bark haze with thurston moore) moved from western wassachusetts to nova scotia in mid-2007. before he moved, he wanted to have one big audio blow-out to remember the grand old mass times. with that goal in mind, gown went into the studio with the sunburned hand of the man gang (represented this time out by john moloney, sarah o'shea, ron schneiderman and taylor richardson) to melt some audio consoles. for the maples represents a portion of that recorded output and believe us, it's some massive stuff. sunburned's thick funk presents the perfect background for gown's shredding guitar-play. extremely hot stuff, especially the massive side-long "bending close." click here for a downloadable preview, "taylor's jam."

as per the three lobed standard, for the maples is pressed on 180g RTI vinyl. it is housed within silkscreened jackets (screen work by alan sherry / SIWA) bearing new artwork by gown. the record is from an edition of 698 copies and, and as an added convenience for our vinyl friends, will come packaged with a glass-mastered CD (not CD-R) of the material present on the wax. pre-ordered copies were accompanied by a bonus CD (TLR-059) of previously unreleased gown material.

Flying saucer Attack & Roy Montgomery - Goodbye [1997]

Exprimentación profunda, porque en la mirada del cielo azul, traes a ti un corazón con música viva desde otro planeta, enseñas en capítulos los verbos que el pasado no extrae, que al futuro no le importa, es en el momento del acto nostalgia, cuando decoramos los espacios vacíos con múltiples beneficios del resplandor, puede sobrepasar los cuatro puntos como muto acuerdo cósmico, en la dimensión del viento tormentoso están las señales de paz junto a un huevo, incubándolo, esparciendo en su figura de ovalo, una pequeña capa de vidrio molido al cual llamaste espejos de agua y que en un precoz intento por tomarte, te despoja de la sangre, te invita a ver tu huida de la perfección por las paredes de la madre.
La unión de Flying Saucer Attack y Roy Montgomery se da, en el año 1997,
Goodbye se manifiesta en composiciones ambientales que exploran en los movimientos análogos del feedback, una formula que resulta en hermosas frecuencias, ruidos controlados que en su espacio de tiempo son capaces de remecer en la búsqueda perpetua de hombre un inicio.

Deep exprimental, because in the look of the blue sky, you bring to you a heart with alive music from another planet, you teach in chapters the verbs that the past does not extract, that the future does not concern for him, is in the moment of the act sadness, when we decorate the empty spaces with multiple benefits of the radiance, can exceed four points since I mutate cosmic agreement, in the dimension of the stormy wind the signs of peace are close to an egg, incubating it , spreading in his figure of oval, a small cap of glass ground whom you were called water mirrors and that in a precocious attempt for taking, takes off you of the blood, it invites you to see your flight of the perfection for the walls of the mother.
Flying Saucer Attack and Roy Montgomery union is given, in the year 1997, Goodbye demonstrates in environmental compositions that they explore in the analogous movements of the feedback, one formulates that it results in beautiful frequencies, controlled noises that in his lapse of time are capable of shaking in the man's perpetual search a beginning.

Fying Saucer Attack

It is a band of quality, creative of impeccable atmospheres that cross the noise of the pollution, and they go to great speed in his flying saucers, towards and cardinal downtown in they are of initiating the assault with his sonic immense pieces that flood the sky, floating in the dream the black hands of the woman shining, a waterfall of paces that are not listened ahead, the spot opens orifices to compensate the humility of a new star to which copy his functioning gives another respite and a bit more of time to the planet.
The band I form in Bristol, England in the year 1993, his founders are David Pearce and Rachel Brook who with his compositions of guitar and voice saturated create a soft and constant avant-noise of mystical sensations.

Es una banda de calidad, creadora de atmosferas impecables que atraviesan el ruido de la contaminación, y se dirigen a gran velocidad en sus platillos voladores, hacia e centro de la ciudad capital en son de iniciar el ataque con sus piezas sonicas inmensas que inundan el cielo, levitan en el sueño las plomas manos de la mujer resplandeciendo, una cascada de ritmos que no se escuchan delante, la mancha abre orificios para compensar la humildad de una nueva estrella a la cual calcar su funcionamiento da otro respiro y un poco más de tiempo al planeta.
La banda se formo en Bristol, Inglaterra en el año 1993, sus fundadores son David Pearce and Rachel Brook quienes con sus composiciones de guitarra y voz saturadas crean un avant-noise suave y constante de sensaciones misticas.

About this Video :


Let's Pretend To Be Human Beings

A video completed for a 2006 college art class final, which was to be a self-portrait. A silhouette of myself keying a mystic fire in a hypnotizing loop while the title track plays in the background. At the time (Thanksgiving 2002) I was heavily influenced by Flying Saucer Attack so this music, improvized on a Four Track in one day, has some shoegazer aspirations.

The full-length version is 15 minutes but due to Youtube's time limitations I can only present the final 10 minutes.
