Black Creek is an attempt at assembling elements of the sonic psychogeography of 1980s Leeds, UK, and then reducing it down to what remains - "Radiophonic Workshop reimagined as a soundsystem," in the artists' own words. The tracks are tinged with a kind of subliminal horror and nauseous miasma, bleeding unwell energies from one track to the next, weaving coldly through uneasy dreamlike ambiance and intense peaks toward a somber epilogue.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(54, 54, 54); color: #363636; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></div><div>Techniques are largely the same as previous releases under my own name - Oneironautics is made entirely out of the sound of an electronic door locking system - the final form is just different from the three releases on Absurd Exposition.</div><div><br /></div><div>Zeigarnik Effect is a kind of "this is how i made the recording".</div><div><br /></div><div>A lot of remixes and collaborations have been done in the last few months.

<br />
About the concept:<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The concept behind the audio portion of Reigning Cement was inspired by an experiment that Draxler participated in a few years ago, in which a group of collage artists were each given the exact same packet of visual assets with which to create a piece. Similarly, Draxler provided each musician on Reigning Cement with the same 34 sonic elements—all recorded in the noisy industrial environment just outside his studio on the edge of Los Angeles. </div>
<br />
About our track:<br />
<br />
Bloomer structured Jesse's recordings then I edited (very slightly), reprocessed, and mixed the track,<br />
<br />
In keeping with the theme of field recordings we placed a cell phone on the floor of a room and yelled near it, I cut the audio up during mixing to fit.<br />
<br />
In keeping with Intensive Care's general themes of voyeurism and the trauma of life in the city the song is about a shooting I was present at ("the only saving grace is we never made eye contact") in November 2019.<br />
<br />
Two almost complete Intensive Care recordings are next, one of our standard bass and drums material, one focusing on our more electronic influences.<br />
<br />
The pandemic slowed the completion of the first and sped up the impetus to complete the second.<br />

Post Human was easily my favourite Angry Guitar record of 2018 and i've been a fan of the band since Isolation was released in 2011.<br />
<br />
My goal was to bring out some of the more buried influences in the band's sound to the forefront and create a cold and mechanized military-robots-moshing-in-zero-gravity feel.Survivalisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01536852408184141383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-69852478835268948962019-07-12T11:18:00.001-04:002019-07-12T11:18:58.070-04:00Intensive Care new music and shirtsSplit 7" with Incinerated is available on <a href="https://nervealtar.bandcamp.com/album/intensive-care-incinerated-split-ep" target="_blank">Nerve Altar</a> now<br />

The flexi will be on bandcamp in a month or two packaged with another new Intensive Care record when it's released.<br />

We're currently writing an album for release towards the end of the year, because i'm an idiot i'm teaching myself to play piano because i've decided i want to write everything on piano first. Rest assured it will sound like the same old same old once i transfer it all to bass.<br />

As mentioned above you can buy Intensive Care shirts from Holy Mountain, impress your friends, roll your eyes to the heavens as your co-workers ask uncomfortable questions.

The Holy Mountain flexi was recorded on a four track cassette deck i found in my neighbours garbage when i was walking my dog about five years ago. All the songs are true tales of woe from my fun working life, PTSD is fun! (It isn't, not at all)</div>

It's been five years since i played more than three shows in a row, let's see if i can still do this.<br />
<br />
I had surgery a month ago and i'm not entirely convinced i'm able to do full vocals in the way i usually do, so if you're at a show and it seems a little more instrumental than you're expecting that's the reason.<br />
<br />
In case it's not clear we aren't playing the Cambridge show.<br />

New 5 song EP available now, on every digital platform i've ever heard of (except soundcloud) and a number i'm unaware of.<br />
<br />
Tapes are available on tour this month and will end up with the usual suspects after we return.<br />
<br />
Lyrically it's about the body outlasting the brain and the brain's awareness of its failings, inspired by family members with dementia and dementia type illness and decades of working in mental health.<br />
<br />
Musically the process was different than our other releases; between family and employment responsibilities the ability to get in the same room with any regularity was hard to do for most of 2018, so we worked on materially together, took it away and worked on it individually, then reconvened to add more to the material as a duo and complete the tracks.Survivalisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01536852408184141383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-2523062458677001902018-06-01T10:19:00.001-04:002018-06-01T10:19:17.534-04:00Full of Hell/ Intensive Care split 7"<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3947753487/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 470px; width: 350px;"><a href="http://theundesirable.bandcamp.com/album/full-of-hell-intensive-care-split-undesirable-017">Full Of Hell / Intensive Care - Split (Undesirable-017) by Full Of Hell / Intensive Care</a></iframe><br />

Two songs, 300 copies, there was a conscious effort after Voyeurism to write a record that was a more straight forward two guys playing music thing, this is sort of that.<br />
<br />
The songs on this record deal with the anxieties created by living in modern cities.<br />

<br />
My approach was to take elements from the original track and rebuild it with new processing, layering newly filtered elements, keeping a repeated refrain from the original piece to anchor it.<br />
<br />
The layering was loosely inspired by various early 70s recordings involving Klaus Schultz and Conrad Schnitzler.<br />
<br />

<br />
Earlier this year Full of Hell asked me to record guest vocals on a song on their new album (i sing the middle part of the song Ashen Mesh) and to submit a remix of the title track for the Japanese pressing of the album (released by Daymare)<br />
<br />
I just put my version of Trumpeting Ecstasy up on SoundCloud, rather than giving them the noise drenched everything in the red mix i suspect they wanted i pulled most of the elements out and gave the song some more space than it originally had.<br />
<br />
This track is not a dub track by any stretch of the imagination, but the techniques i used all came from my interest in and reverence for dub music. I've long felt that anyone with an interest in experimental music who does not investigate what was happening in Jamaica in the 70s and 80s or doesn't spend some time really immersing themselves in production techniques of late 80s hip hop - particularly The Bomb Squad's work from roughly 1988-1991, is seriously missing out on some phenomenal music and approaches to composition and recording that were not being done by anyone else at the time.<br />
<br />
I love rubbish tape hiss noise and stuffy old academics from Europe as the next guy blogging in a bootleg Throbbing Gristle shirt (as i am right now), but the work of people like King Tubby, Scientist, Adrian Sherwood, Hank Shocklee, Eric Sadler, Keith Shocklee, and Chuck D is as vital to my understanding of sound as anything by Pierre Henri, Pauline Oliveros, Lustmord, Einstürzende Neubauten, Macronympha, Faust, or Delia Derbyshire is.</span></span><br /><br />

<br />
Voyeurism 12" available now from <a href="http://www.theundesirable.bigcartel.com/product/intensive-care-voyeurism-12-undesirable-014" target="_blank">Anthems of the Undesirable</a> and <a href="http://www.divergentseries.info/" target="_blank">Divergent Series</a>.<br />
<br />
There are two broad thrusts to this release, the first is that art that attempts to depict an honest social reality through suffering and poverty is exploitation, no different from any other type of exploitation, and in attempting to portray a version of truth the artist only obscures their motivations of capitalizing on other's existences.<br />
<br />
The second aspect is that artists whose alienation is realized through lazy nihilism do not have any great insight into the human condition and would do well to remember that their gaze is returned.<br />
<br />
As a society we demand the poor and oppressed display their humanity and shame for us in order to be redeemed through pity, distanced socially conscious art is one mechanism that supports this way of thinking.<br />
<br />
Opinions are like assholes, as always I remain open to discussion of the nuances and grey areas via e mail.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
When three members of The Exploding Hearts lost their lives
when their van crashed driving home from a show in July 2003 many of my peers
could relate. We’d all been there; long drives late at night, desperate to get
home to our own beds, going back to work on two hours sleep after returning
from tour, pushing ourselves to physical limits.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the news of the fire at Ghost Ship in Oakland and the –
at time of writing – death of 36 people in the space there is not one of my
friends, be they producer or consumer of culture, that doesn’t understand the
tragedy that’s occurred and hasn’t recast their own personal involvement in DIY
culture with new endless “what if…” and “it could have been any of us”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It <u>could</u> have been any of us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve all been at the dangerously overcrowded post-fest show
in the local DIY space, unable to even go to the bathroom, suffering varying
degrees of anxiety attacks in our hard won inches of space, we’ve all been to a
venue that was a concrete underground bunker with one wooden staircase to
enter, those of us in bands have all loaded gear up the rusty fire escape – the
only way in or out – into the third floor apartment over the bike repair store,
and those of us not in bands have all been to that space, carefully edging our
way past smokers in Discharge shirts hanging out on that one rusty fire escape
we all have to use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It could have been any of us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But it wasn’t and let’s not take that away from the members
of our community that lost their lives in the tragedy last weekend in Oakland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve talked about this before, but as I get older my
interests in music and culture rarely lie strictly within genre lines anymore,
they lie within the methods we create, perform, reproduce, or consume culture.
My interests over the last few years have taken a sharp turn towards the
spatial, an aspect of culture I was always involved in, but went by largely
unnoticed or uncommented to me. It was a natural progression; how else do I
explain my continued interest in how culture is produced, whilst being
frequently disappointed with many of the cultural products that are produced?
How do I find ways to understand the necessity of punk when most punk means
little to me now? How do I frame the politics of punk when they’re barely
present in lyric sheets, when bands are regularly being called out, and when
the digital era makes the means of production and distribution something that
everyone does regardless of intent? Is there even any point in framing a
politics of punk in 2016?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To me the politics of punk that are consistent are the
politics of space, the politics of producing space, the politics of producing
culture within our spaces. These politics are not new and they are definitely
not exclusive to punk, they’re a facet of all cultures that are outside the
field of large-scale production, from Sound Systems that have their roots in
Jamaica in the 1950s, to late 80s UK Acid House culture, to the huge network of
squats and autonomous venues of Europe, to the warehouse scene of the Bay Area
and much more beyond these examples. Culture requires space, culture modifies
the space it is created within, space modifies how culture is created and
consumed, how culture is shared and participated.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So frankly, I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like the music
that was playing at Ghost Ship on December 2<sup>nd</sup> 2016, it’s not relevant;
these people were doing the same shit we do. They were regulars in our world too;
in 2016 there is significant overlap between cultural fields, that strict
separation is long gone. These are our people, our community, our politics, our
strategies, our tactics.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In times when cities promote competition and economic
entrepreneurship, and make decisions based on cost-benefit analysis and not
social need, when gentrification means barely anyone can afford to live in
cities, when development means there is a rental crisis, and our spaces to do <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anything</i> beyond drink expensive
cocktails, buy refurbished driftwood coffee tables, or line up to buy artisanal
bread at the farmer’s market are gone how we create and experience culture
matters. How we work towards collaboration over competition, how we work
towards collective interests and not towards reinforcing the same atomized
individual experiences, how we pursue politics that don’t commodify individual
identities, these all matter. How we produce knowledge and culture matters. How
we promote alternative economic and social practices matters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is happening in Oakland is a tragedy on multiple
levels, this isn’t kids dying at a rave, this is not carefree hedonistic
millennials perpetually in search of the next high-risk, low responsibility
thrill.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Intensive Care's debut 7" is available now on Iron Lung Records - you can <a href="http://ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com/product/intensive-care-this-is-exactly-who-you-are-7" target="_blank">buy it here</a> - a slight shift from the material on the Pay Pig cassette from a few months earlier.<br />
<br />
Both releases are on Bandcamp as pay what you want downloads; don't pay less than $2 if you pay anything, most of that money goes to PayPal and Bandcamp in those cases.<br />
<br />
Thematically this record bridges the gap between Pay Pig and the next release, Voyeurism, recorded and due out sometime before the universe under goes heat death. Pay Pig is ostensibly informed by anti-work politics, as found in the work of people such as Kathi Weeks, and tempered with a shit-headed power electronics berating. Voyeurism centres on the idea that in order to earn merit and be granted humanity the suffering masses of the world must display their shame and pain; see any frankly vomit inducing artist (usually a photographer) trying to show truth and honesty, usually through pictures of starving children, economically dispossessed drug users, or homeless people. A similar example would be when politicians, actors, and various CEOs camp outside to raise awareness of homelessness.<br />
<br />
Anyway, This is Exactly Who You Are connects those two releases.<br />
<br />
Final show of the year is at Not Dead Yet in Toronto with Barcelona, The Lowest Form, Private Room, Pedestrian and others.<br />
<br />
We are currently writing an LP.<br />

<br />
Intensive Care - Pay Pig tape available now.<br />
<br />
I should have posted this earlier, a few places have sold out, Faith/ Void in Toronto has copies, Analog Worship and Anthems of the Undesirable in the US still have copies and it'll be available at probably the next few shows we play.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my first post-Column of Heaven material, with long term collaborator Ryan Bloomer (The Endless Blockade, Scalp Elevator, Ride at Dawn), we recorded it back in November but took our sweet time making it available.<br />
<br />
I haven't put it online yet, though i will at some point (and if some blog puts it up we're fine with that).<br />
<br />
It isn't online currently because I can't escape the "ex-Column of Heaven, ex-Blockade" thing (though that's fine), and this really isn't in that same vein at all; there are zero blast beats and next to no hardcore or grindcore influences, so i wanted to put stuff out a bit slower to try and limit those expectations. If you were into Blockade or Column of Heaven largely for the speed/ power violence factor then this probably isn't going to do it for you (it's also not my "sludge" band).<br />
<br />
The other reason it's not online is because in this era all music is weighted the same and this should not be compared to the later recordings of any of my previous bands, it's a sign post to the future, but it doesn't have the same weighting as Primitive or Precipice; Intensive Care doesn't have the accumulated experience yet.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Pay Pig, an ode to the modern work ethic in five songs, informed primarily by the Head of David/ Fall of Because/ early Godflesh circle, along with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjJp1rg306Q" target="_blank">Headbutt</a>, Grey Wolves, Slug, Unsane, and Hammerhead. Bass, drums, vocals, synth, percussion.<br />
<br />
This is Exactly Who You Are 7" is at the plant (Iron Lung Records), Voyeurism 7" (Divergent Series) is close to being recorded. More stuff in the works.<br />

<br />
Recorded a long time ago and finally out now after a multitude of delays:<br />
<ul>
<li>Changing the label it was originally going to be released on when it was about to go to press.</li>
<li>Deciding to change the mix, then not having access to any of my equipment for five months, followed by a further three months of not having anywhere to set up a new home studio.</li>
<li>Classic cover art delays.</li>
<li>New normal bullshit pressing plant delays as Record Store Day, deluxe Fleetwood Mac reissues, and Horace Goes Skiing video game OST crush all. Hey, did you hear that vinyl is back? What next, eight tracks cassettes? LOL! (kill me)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Anyway, it's here, enjoy.</div>
