The most recent and only recording M@ and myself have done this year or for the better part of 6 months. We've been doing this project for a good 5+ years now; it being an outlet for exploration of what can be accomplished through random improvisational moments of amateur musical experimentation. Having taken upon many different forms and styles over the years from our beginnings of a horrible noise + vocalization drunkenness, off into many terrains: new wave cheese, electronics heavy gore psychedelia, industrial sound tinkering, undecipherable gutter grindcore, blasphemous bonzo black metal, whiskey soaked blues/country, pop-rock oddity, tropical sunshine surf atmospheres, tribal spirit excavation, to epic multi-layered(tracked) art/noise/space rock psychedelic void.
By mentioning all these qualities that we've bestowed upon our recordings I certainly don't intend to say that the majority of them have much for any expertise or writing skills whatsoever. What we have here is a free form expression of whatever takes place within the "moment" we are recording; good or bad, snazzy or scabby. Our editing on the other hand as well as the meshing of the jamming cues we send and recieve from each other has improved greatly over the years; I do believe that this quality can be heard consitently and growing with each release.
Ok now for an actual review of what takes place within this particular recording.
Beginning with some soft percussion, microkorg synth melody, effected bass guitar experimentation, the synth and bass begin on a loop and we both go into percussion heavy jam, myself on the kit and M@ on his djembe. Swelling, softening, speeding up, slowing down, manic intricacy becoming one atmospheric groove which flows into the next track. The 2nd track takes shape as a surfy jazz like noise rock jam workout between myself on drums and M@ playing bass. Going through many hues of expression, various timing structures, and vibe'itry; I find that this is where M@ and myself shine in our jamming capacity. The 3rd and final track is of a similar vibe but with the added use of hammond organ, more microkorg, and various bass effects. Having a bit more aggressive overblown erratic noise rock sound quality as well as sinking more into exploratory terrain with soothing space rock like energy; the track finishes into a bluesy jam between the two of us finding the groove once again which decays off to the twilight of sporadic sounds. If listened to on repeat the final track flows right into the first lending it a cyclic force.
Now the quality of this recording, track names coming from personal dream images, is certainly not the greatest being open mics into a 2 input cassette deck, but the sound achieved through this means did come out quite clear and crisp though not attaining to the depths some of our other noise-chapel studio works have. For a relatively short listen the almost 23 minutes of this recording moves along rather swiftly and fluidly. Making it honestly a decent place to experience what we as Forbidden Demyelination offer with our output though the albums: Dehydration Induced Hallucination and Self-Titled are much more showing of our full creative capabilities.
Thank you for your time; I hope you can enjoy any of this remotely as much as M@ and I do constructing our mayhemic bliss.
