Will Guthrie "Sacree Obsession" LP
The new album from the percussionist extraordinaire Will Guthrie comes
out of his continuing research into repetition, the ritual, physicality
through volume and mass, and complexity through the development of
simple ideas. Combining pulse and rthymic ideas
with melodic and pitch based textures he has succeeded in making truly
unique music.
Obsessive
development of minimal material is not new in Will Guthrie’s music,
from his brutal tribal
like and non romantic vision of free jazz with THE AMES ROOM, to
thinking long with the likes of Oren Ambarchi and David Maranha,
obsessively working through reduced material has been central to Will
Guthrie’s music since his debut solo recording "Building
Blocks” in 2003. With Tetris like logic in it’s architecture, TIMELAPSE
uses notes and tones hung out in space, beautifully resonating in the
magical Chapelle Saint Jean in Mulhouse where it was recorded. PACEMAKER
on the flip side recorded at Le Lieu Unique
in Nantes, is multi layered and multi dimensional in it’s and sonic and
rhythmic possibilities, using repetition, resonance and mass to create a
hypnotising music which is simultaneously powerful and subtle This is a
highly recommended piece of vinyl for anyone
into dark, organic, minimal music. 
2work@once "2000-2003" CDR 5 live recordings (4 excerpts, 1 complete) of this duo of Ernie Althoff and Eamon Sprod (AKA Tarab), who created multi-layered, subtle sonic textures using a variety of materials, contact mics and cassettes. The performances here are rich in texture; the character of both Althoff and Sprod's music shines through whilst remaining complimentary to each other.
