Savage Republic in Atlanta

This Will Be Fun

On Feb 25 at The Earl there is going to be some old school Atlanta fun going on. Tweezer, Go-Devils and newcomers AkuYou (featuring members of past bands including Pineal Ventana, Centre, and I Almost Saw God on the Metro) are getting together for a night of craziness.
If you were around the music scene here in Atlanta during the 90's then you know what this is all about. Come one come all because this lineup will probably never happen again.

New AkuYou Cassette

New release by AkuYou is now available through Scotch Tapes.
Limited to 50 copies so go get your copy HERE NOW.

"Aku You hail from Georgia (The U.S. one... not the one being attacked by Russia...) and make some interesting music. Gothic, Industrial, Experimental... This album is full of vicious drums, spine altering vocals and an incredible talent for song construction."

AkuYou Interview and CD Review

BeAtlanta.com has posted an interview and cd review with my project AkuYou. The interview was done with Clara and I a few weeks ago.



Here is the cd review:



"Holy Hell. These girls just turned my brain inside out. This brand-new Atlanta band just let eight infinitely forceful songs loose on a split release with Grammal Seizure, a one man band from Maryland. AkuYou, consisting of Kim Chee and Clara Clamp, doesn’t seem to easily fit into any existing musical genre that I am aware of, unless pineal gland rock has already been coined. Using multiple effects and well thought out instrumentation, Kim shapes unique sound textures, which surround both Clara’s vocals and some pounding percussion that will certainly wake you up. Their song Bass Split is a perfect example. It flawlessly imitates the sounds one’s brain might produce while having a not-so-great experience on a strong psychedelic drug… plus drums. If this doesn’t sound fun to you then you need to just get over it and give it a try anyways. If you desire something a bit less ambient, their song SS has a bit more of a driving force, which really allows Clara to show you what she’s got. Or there is Henry, my personal favorite, which lies somewhere in the middle. Set aside the time to lie down, grab your biggest head-phones, concentrate, and experience AkuYou. You wont regret it."

AxemRangers
AxemRangers is a oneman experimental sound project started in the fall of 2006, based in Webster, New York. Using very minimal equipment (because he is very cheap), the goal of AxemRangers is grounded more in personal expression of emotions, moods and ideas rather that a pure focus on sonic aesthetics and intellectual composition. This may or may not be a copout. He operates the Cracked Bat Tapes label.

The Missing Middle
The Missing Middle is the creation of two musicians from Buffalo New York, inspired by exotica, industrial, pop, and soundtracks. Started in 2006, The Missing Middle has released an EP titled "death of dichotomy" and is currently in the studio completing their debut album "Ritual of the Modern Savage" for a spring release.

The Vivi Sect
The Vivi Sect is a leaky vessel, expunging and taking on musicians as the tide allows. Founding member Red Cell has helmed the vessel in all it's various incarnations over the last 7 years. The Vivi Sect explores all musically known shores, from cylinder recordings of the 1800s to electro-ballads and folk songs, in search of unique and interesting aural ephemera. We are currently working with The Jism Archives (a new upstart experimental and avant-garde label) to set up a web page, so we are currently webless.

No It Is Opposition
"Back in the 80s, Sven and Mike played in different local bands in East Westphalia in Western Germany. We started doing music as members of “Out Of Days” who did a demo tape called “No Tragedy This Time” and split in 1991. While Mike retired from music for quite a time, Sven joined “Me In The Rye” who published some demo tapes (e.g. “Atmen heißt urteilen”, “Blondes”) and the album “Atmosphaerehandel” in 1994, produced by Mathias Arfmann of “Kastrierte Philosophen”. “Me In The Rye” played as support for artists such as “Swell”, Nikki Sudden and "The Television Personalities”. Sven and Mike formed “No It Is Opposition” in 1997. Originally planned as an outfit for two old men sitting in armchairs playing acoustic music with guitars (“industrial chamber music”), Sven and Mike recorded a demo CD called “Prisoners’ Poetry” in 1998. After that, from time to time we hooked up to keep the guitars and the armchairs warm, but no new work was recorded. After a second seven-year-break we were asked to take part in the “Beyond The Horizon”-project which we did with great pleasure. If you'd like to learn more about “Beyond The Horizon”, please go here: www.myspace.com/tributetoaatt.
“Beyond The Horizon” was a new start; so we decided to do own pieces again. We finished the “Prisoners' Poetry”-circle in 2006 and right now, we are busy with new pieces which we hope to release via our own website in the near future. Prisoners' Poetry will see a release only in May 2009, but that's another story..."

Vampyramidf/F
Vampyramidf/F formed in 2008 in Boston, MA. Upon its conception, the project was intended to remain a dualistic endeavor.
F=environmentally sensitive/ritual based recording and performance
F=pure liquid/pop non-structures dissolve into soaking confusion

Phallus Dei featuring John Walker
In the beginning OLIVER ST. LINGAM releases the tapes "Pigfuck" and "Per Crucem Ad Lucem" on the "Unclean"-label under the guise of PHALLUS DEI, named after an album by Krautrock legends AMON DÜÜL. Shortly after, PHALLUS DEI signed with the label Dark Vinyl, who released the first CD "Pontifex Maximus". It is amongst the most successful debuts of an Industrial band in 1991. After a successful tour with Italian Industrial legends
SIGILLUM S, the personnel changed. MK. E. ,who was with them on tour, joined the band. Also, Dutch drummer / multi-instrumentalist RICHARD VAN KRUYSDIJK (who now also works with Niels van Hoorn (the Legendary Pink Dots) as STRANGE ATTRACTOR, and with Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen as SONAR LODGE) joined the band. The trio recorded several songs, later to be released on the album "Cyberflesh". JORIS HUIJBREGTS, who also features on this CD, played previously with Richard in the band Lament, and joined PHALLUS DEI a year later. Together they recorded the critically acclaimed albums "Pornocrates", "Luxuria" (feat. Gitane Demone), "Orpheus & Eurydice", as well as "Universum"; a CD by their ambient side-project PHD2. After Joris left in 1995, they continued as a trio, shifting their sound more and more towards electronica and experimental, cinematic music. A "best of"-CD ("Adorations") was released by Triple X in the USA, and after a period when the band members concentrated on different projects, they came back strong in 2001 with a new album: "Nature Mortes". As PHD2 they released their second album, entitled "Resource".
Track features John Walker of the Walker Brothers

Salakapakka Sound System
Salakapakka Sound System started making electronic/experimental/concrete/electro-acoustic music in 2007. Earlier in 2007 Salakapakka Sound System´s sole core member Marko-V made under his own name "Kahden Kulttuurin Ääniä", musique concrete work which incorporated Japanese and Finnish field sounds. In 2008 SSS put out "Buddha Machines on Fire" CD-r which is made of loops and samples from FM3 Buddha Machine and other Buddhist loop jukeboxes. Second release "Ikuinen Kaamos" three-inch mini CD-r featured dark and haunting electro-acoustic soundscapes. All releases are self made CD-r`s which are available for download at MarkoV´s blog at ikuinen-kaamos.blogspot.com.
Next SSS-related release will be Marko & Myky: "Mekonium Baby", concrete music made of Marko-V´s baby daughter´s sounds. In 2009 there will be at least two more Salakapakka Sound System -releases.

A Forgotten Tales
Inspired by artists like TG, NON, SWANS, DI6, the German ambient/experimental project "a forgotten tale" started writing songs in early 2000. Six years later "aft" moved to Vienna, Austria. Now, living in this "kaiserliche Reichshauptstadt" new impressions created new tales,
which will be forgotten... if no one listens.

Joseph Nechvatal
Since 1986 Joseph Nechvatal has worked with ubiquitous electronic visual information, computers and computer-robotics. His computer-robotic assisted paintings and computer software animations are shown regularly in galleries and museums throughout the world. From 1991-1993 he worked as artist-in-resident at the Louis Pasteur Atelier and the Saline Royale / Ledoux Foundation's computer lab in Arbois, France on The Computer Virus Project: an experiment with computer viruses as a creative stratagem. In 2002 he extended that artistic research into the field of viral artificial life through his collaboration with the programmer Stéphane Sikora.

Tearpalm
Tearpalm is a sonic cocoon knit to fit the needs of Mr M. D.- a writer, art historian, and guitar slinger for/founder member of short-lived Serbian alternative bands Future Zen Terror and Paganska ljubav. The idea behind Tearpalm was to go beyond discursive limitations of routinized treatment of musicmaking, by employing exploration of psychedelic potentials of frequency tweaking, software based simulations of tape loop/sound collage techniques and manipulating of previously recorded tracks much rather than playing live instruments.

Elvatorium
Elvatorium is a collaboration between Tom Maggio from USA and Radek Kordasiewicz from Poland. They continue their collaborative work since late 2006. Elvatorium's first album "At Border Of Disorder" (recorded with guest saxophonist Janusz Kruszelnicki) has been released through Amduscias Records netlabel in September 2007. This year sees the duo working with guests Troy Southgate (of H.E.R.R.) on vocals and again Janusz Kruszelnicki on the saxophone.
