Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Torn Hawk

torn hawk debuts on uttu with a 4 tracker of oddball machine funk, guitar-laden techno & general leftfield dancefloor madness!

commonly found lurking around l.i.e.s., technicolour and w.t. records, florian kupfer has plenty of credentials in the noisier end of the hardware house and techno scene, so it makes perfect sense to find him sidling up to valcron video in collaborative moder with torn hawk. the results are predictably excellent, from the gnarled emotional wrangles of -fake blood to the blown out ambience of hungry for candy. sweet tooth comes on like a dishevelled club workout, and then manipulation rounds the record off with a tongue in cheek spoken word and ambience piece that packs some serious music underneath the irreverent chit chat.

four parts in one quadrifolio of a release. 7 inch double pack release. limited edition. features customisable artwork from the man himself.

valcrond video presents the next work by sound and image artist luke wyatt, songs from bad kid school

valcrond video, the label of brooklyn-based visual artist and producer luke wyatt presents its very first vinyl issue in the shape of two new tracks from torn hawk, one of wyatts aliases. first coming to the fore in a musical sense with a set of distressed guitar and asphalt beat attacks on the lies white label series, torn hawk has been closely associated with ron morellis label ever since with wyatt subsequently working with karen gwyer, secret circuit and willie burns. distancing himself a bit from the grime and grit some associate with his productions, the two new tracks have more in common with the more expansively voiced compositions on emotional response release teen hawk, or the cinematic melancholy of the untitled ep he released under the alias lossmaker. clearly wyatt is building towards housing all his musical instincts under one roof.

after his epic split with black deer, torn hawk comes back with a proper four track 12 inch, opening with an almost balearic/tropical, someone put something in my drink and i am melting house cut. trapdoor returns to wyatts skewed after school special add cali-speed freak bastard child drum machine/guitar lush not lushness. we get more end-titles on the b-side, as both songs could be the soundtracks for a night hanging in a parking lot drinking boxed wine and snorting ajax while auxilary police circle, threatening to harsh your mellow ... good times to say the least.

super-limited exclusive three track vinyl sampler ep from the upcoming l.i.e.s. >american noise< 2xcd compilation! this sampler expands upon three completely styles reflective of the diverse l.i.e.s. catalog to date. torn hawk pulverizing the entire a-side with his most unclassifiable material to date, marcos cabral returning to the label with a sinister 110 bpm techno track, and delroy edwards doing a blown-out barneys workout. a strong finish to the year.
