“Intuitive Mathematics” is illustrative improvisation registered with the use of percussion instruments amplified by piezoelectric sensors and an instrument I constructed myself called the Soundboard. I mounted metal springs, screws and tongues onto a pine board. Highly enhanced piezo amplification brings all sounds closer to the audience’s ears and allows them to hear rich harmonies of the percussion set as well as “non-musical” elements such as friction, shrieking or vibrations that occur inside a highly resonating set of mechanisms. All amplified instruments are transferred to an analogue mixer, which sends signal to speakers located behind the percussion, which allows me to play constantly on the verge of feedback controlled by correcting the frequency, changing the tension of particular membranes, placing various objects on the drums or changing the position of my body against the instruments and speakers.
Bought this a long time ago and never listened to it much. I remembered it being a sludge band, but I put it on again and its much more Floyd/psyche. Real good.

That's Emil from Holy Sons, who also drums in Om these days. As if that's not enough he does Drifter's Sympathy which is the King of All Podcasts (and must be due a new season soon). Good stuff.

I like Grails a lot, though a couple of records all seem to start with the same premise to build on for many of the songs. I haven't heard that one, but will be looking for it.
Apparently the vinyl release date for Superwolves is June 18.

“Rialto” by Malignus Youth
Weird operatic hardcore from Sierra Vista, AZ. This is a live album from a reunion show in 2014 that I wish I would’ve attended. There was this whole scene of bands in a similar vein in Southeast AZ back in the late 80’s-early 90’s. Headspace from Bisbee, American Deathtrip from Tucson...totally unique to the area. I first saw Malignus Youth open up for Naked Raygun in 1991, and it left quite an impression. Their recordings were always pretty lo-fi, so it’s awesome that this nicely recorded document exists.
