Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Karl O Connor

knallfetter analog minimal / detroit techno

a one-off release from james and karl here showcasing chunks of their killer live set from a recent london gig. the a-side is basically a brilliantly executed and bass heavy mashup of ruskins classic track work alongside the much loved blunted rhythms of kalons man is the superior animal.in contrast the b-side is a great intro/outro beatless tool.

great collection of rare 7inch tracks from downwards. repress

man is a rope is not a band but rather a process developed by new york songwriter / producer / artist, evan t. q. kreeger. using live instrumental and vocal performances with analog effects to make electronic hybrid music rather than employing virtuals, loops or samples, man is a rope creates its own unique dark dynamics and complex churns which invoke elements from no wave, early mute/4ad, rowland s. howard, the cabs, detroit / birmingham techno, a certain ratio, the swans, coil, 70s crimson, and film music. these works are composed in parallel with video treatments and storyboard development. from conception, audio is forever bonded to its symbiotic images.
