[1] Lo-Fi India Abuse * Muslimgauze (BSI = www.bsi-records.com) Is the
latest in Muslimgauze selection. It is a crash between Systemwide & Bryn
Jones. The result is a destabilizing mix of noise and harmony. Beats exist
where no beats have existed before - at the moment music begins to tear
apart , open up and become white noise. Glitches, fades, over-modulation,
echo turning back upon itself, the static in the air prior to a storm,
crowded medina ambience, sharp middle eastern percussive beats- these are
the "instruments" employed to get the propellant and impatient effect of
turmoil in spirit and sound as if there are forces acting upon the
production beyond the control of humans. These are the crucial sounds of
crisis where the agit prop message of support for oppressed peoples is at
once enhanced and enshrouded by the impressionistic abstraction of dub on
the edge of falling apart. This is the kind of sound 95% of all listeners
will hear and wonder if there isn't something wrong with your sound system,
your cd, your mind - the same reaction you get from the early Mark Stewart
discs or Stravinsky or...
Culf from On-U Sound list informed me some months ago that Tandoori Dog was a side project of Muslimgauze's. Also contains the tactics of destabilization in full measure. Less songs than psychological tests which press you to reassess all the preconceived notions you had about musical fidelity and composition. excellent website: http://www.pretentious.net/muslimgauze | |
