NewSchoolScience Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Russell haswell was super super shite (I was doing better twiddling _one_ knob on my MC 303 back in the 90s). He even had the audacity to be selling a £20 exclusive CD on the night. Ae put on a blinder though, approaching the Tin Pin Alley Tri Repetae tour gig. Enjoyed it loads.

awepittance Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Russel Haswell's latest CD 'wild sounds' is basically one of the most underwhelming and non impressive series of field recordings i've ever had the privilege of listening to. He makes a big deal in the linear notes in what's basically an essay about he didn't want to do cliche 'rain forrest' sounds or strictly natural environments. well great, but unfortunately most of the results are not very fun or interesting to check out. I love some of his noise stuff, i just think he's maybe going a little too academic or purest for his own good Edited March 17, 2010 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54379-ae-at-glasgow-sub-club/#findComment-1271610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love some of his noise stuff, i just think he's maybe going a little too academic or purest for his own good i'm sure it's pretty tongue in cheek... being packaged in one of those abc for kids dvd cases kind of points to that. you could say he's being entirely tongue and cheek about deciding to release a whole cd of field recordings that almost no one would want to listen to. I can go for that, if the whole concept is a joke it has some value (it might not be academic just purest ).The case is funny but the linear notes appear to be serious. i just respect his talents immensely as a sound maker and this fell way below the mark for me, it seemed much too rule based for it's own good . He talks ostensibly about how he refused to process any of the recordings so they can remain in the natural state. but whats the point if most of them don't sound good?

Guest Balance Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Loved it, missed the last train and had to stay in Glasgow for hours afterwards but it was worth it, I was the bald guy shouting all the time in the grey hoodie. The noisy guy was horrible, Haswell.

Have you heard this one (cassette): Because I quite like this one, noise-field recording, you can hear these flies getting super close to the mic, and it's loud. Plus the concept of recording flies on a rotting carcass is just sexy.

I thought it was a nice little collection, did seem very academic in presentation but you never know with Haswell if he's taking the piss. Although I am more or less a complete n00b when it comes to this type of music, having only heard bits and pieces by the likes of Farmers Manual/Keith Fullerton Whitman/Touch records and bits of old music concrete type stuff it managed to hold my interest and if found some of the recordings very illuminating. I wonder if you could point me in the direction of some more impressive artists working in this area awepittance?

Guest pscilocybin666 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I thought the venue was shite, no space for dancing. The sub club?....fuck off! Next time they should go back and play the art school, its got a better sound system and much more space. Ae fuckin kicked ass, loved the almost gabba type beats they were playing in the middle of the set. Did anyone record it? I spoke to haswell on the way out (midget with long hair and manky baseball cap) I asked if he sold many of his Cd's Nah! was his reply. I thought his set was hilarious, even the guys standin next to me were grinning from ear to ear. Bad sound system crap venue odd crowd (i kept smelling an odd pishy smell on the dancefloor..no joke!) three fifty for a can of red stripe....fuck off!

Guest Balance Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Aye there was nae space but the actual set was great imo. I got a pint for 3.60 then thought fuck that I'll get Red Stripe from now on, 3.50 WTF. I'm taking my hip flask if I go there again.
