ARTIST: Wjiik og chefkirk

TITLE: “we love ginger candy”

Wjiik - “editing and eq-ing in audacity + mixing in premade samples (analogue, digital and too much different ways of working for me to remember it all)"

chefkirk – “digitally processed no-input mixing board feedback”

“we love ginger candy” is an old/new-school e-mail collaboration between Wjiik, also known as Torstein Wjiik (see ctrl_vlv_003), or Kjetil Hanssen from Oslo, Norway and chefkirk who is Roger H Smith from Eugene, Oregon (see ctrl_vlv_012)

“Kjetil sent me 1 long session of sounds meant to be cut up and used as some sort of source material, I thought the session was great on its own, as a whole, so I just added some digitally processed no-input mixing board feedback in the mix. What we have here is one, almost, 18 min. piece of faux-electro-acoustic-digital-crud-concrete. Hmm…. Really??? Sure, I think this is great, but I may be a bit biased.”

"Gameboy maestro Lissajou describes c-c like so:

Bristling with celebrity angelism more powerful than any voodoo candle ever cast, Colombia's red green selector showcases flickery, blitzot in jitterfunk fashion, totally denying you any possible chance of not dancing ever. c-c vibe is the sweetest vibe, hardcore stroboscopic vibe, vibe sampling everything in the world vibe, wickedest fire-breathing ski mask dragon vibe, juke you vibe body (BUFFERING 69 % COMPLETED) vibe. Brush your shoulders off."

Recorded live at Beep South 2, an 8 bit electronic fest organized by Ocelotilator and Electronic SubSouth on August 29, 2009 at The Laboratory in Gainesville, FL.

title: a few in venice

"Recorded in Venice, FL in the early summer of 2009, bored, blasted."

-i've had this stuff on my hard-drive for a very long time, it just took me that long to figure out how to upload said track in its entirety to my server. duh...... anyways, this is one excellent track encompassing a full-spectrum of sounds from high-pitched feedback to low-end drone to machine-like grinding sputters. "instrumentation for a few: homebrew synth modules with some voice/microphone action" just the kind of thing you would expect from mr. zarzutzki who's main instrument is the "no-output turntable", a great improvisational artist. learn more here

-I met Thomas after I played a live gig at the HörBar im B-Movie, back in March 2010, we exchanged some words and traded some Cd's, Thomas told me he also worked with the no-input mixing board, I took those Cd's home and after a few months, finally listened to them, thoroughly enjoyed them, then contacted Thomas and asked him to submit some material to ctrl.vlv

"NATURE IS DIRT" is a 22 minute EPIC Thomas made with a "Linux computer system and pre-recorded no-input mixer sound"

yeah, SOLID.

I hope you enjoy this as much as i do.

artist: insects with tits
title: untld. 002 live 2008

bio:
Insects with Tits is Roger Smith of chefkirk & Kenneth Yates of Caustic Castle.
This collaborative project brings together two very different but complimentary approaches to improvised no-input style mixing and processing that results in a colorful spectrum of frequencies, harsh tones and low rumbling bass.
This project began as an experiment, much like everything in life.
Insects with Tits are a politically and socially explicit venture with a focus on vegan action.
We will convert your asses.

Here we go with part. 2 in a series of LIVE sets recorded from our 2008 tour.
This release consists of 2 full + 1 partial live improvised no-input mixing board tracks recorded during our 2008 tour.
It is, still, my plan to release what I feel are the high lights from this past tour.
These 3 tracks were recorded on the 4th, 6th + 7th dates of the tour and show a continued developing call and response style using the no-input mixing technique.
Enjoy.

artist: chefkirk
title: special tour consideration release

"Working under the inclusive category of experimental noise, chefkirk creates distinctive compositions of sound by combining together improvised drone and harsh electronics forced from a minimal arsenal of the no-input mixing board and sampler. chefkirk makes his music in North America.

chefkirk is Roger H. Smith (b. 1976 U.S.A.). Smith utilizes the no-input mixing board as his main instrument, along with a sampler, and two effects pedals. It is this minimal setup that forces Smith to fully explore the realms and possibilities of the no-input mixing technique. Smith calls on the influences of his everyday environment. The sounds that exist in the cracks of everyday life: the breaking of Atlantic surf on a deserted stretch of North Carolina coastline, the cicadas’ harsh call on humid summer nights in the South, the distant horn of a shipping barge on the Mississippi mixed with the broken glass of Bourbon Street, or the wind whistling through the mighty Douglas Fir trees of the Pacific Northwest.

Smith gives life to the electrical current trapped inside the mixing board’s circuits, allowing the signal to jump, sputter, and spit forth from the speakers to captivate and immobilize the listener.

Smith started chefkirk in 2003 as an experimental noise project. After many cd-r and netlabel releases, both solo and in collaboration, nationally and internationally, he started to work exclusively with the no-input mixing board and sampler in 2007.

Beyond chefkirk, Smith is also in the no-input mixing duo Insects with Tits w/Kenneth Yates (Caustic Castle) and solo as _whALe_pLAtE_, working exclusively with the computer and the limits of the 64KBPS. mp3 file. In 2009 Smith started the free netlabel Control Valve, showcasing new and exciting experimental audio in high quality 320KBPS. mp3 format."

i put this special little release together for my EURO tour 2010 (check the dates below),
"special tour consideration release" further explores the no-input mixing board + sampler setup i've been using for last years,
get lost in the thin + annoying sounds,
feel your time slip away with sampled microcassette recordings,
come back for repeated listens, over + over again.......
