CHRISTIAN MARCLAY and OTOMO YOSHIHIDE
Victoria's very own A DMN SHEEN
created his FREETABLES project.
the newest volume, FREETABLES 4, incorporates the same bells and clackers and small drums and christmas decorations and string drums and shakers and percussive elements as the first 3 volumes, as well as the same approaches to fractured vinyl forced-grooves and skips.
but where FREETABLES 4 differs from the first three volumes is in the additional use of 4-STRINGED MONOTONAL ACOUSTIC GUITAR, leaned onto the spinning vinyl to create haunting hurdy-gurdy-like drones, or placed nearby the turntable so that wildly-swinging beaters or bells randomly strike the strings, creating odd chaotic fluxes of abstracted melody and guitar-string timbre.
with a poorly-treated stylus creating increasingly-distorted turntable fragments, incidental field-recordings picked up by the mic, and a clattering smattering of small percussions, these pieces are for fans of acoustic randomness, algorithmic drones, untreated cluster-musik, and/or cultural re-use.
