Label: Several Minor Promises

粒揃いのブライベート出版作を入荷!!WerkbundやAsmus Tietchens好きは是非!!バネや金属を木片に取り付けた奇怪な自作を楽器を使い漆黒のミニマル録音を重ねる、オーストラリアはアデレードで活動する孤高の実験作家Leitmotiv Limbo。プライベートで出版してきた数本のカセットはどれも質が高く、本作がその自主レーベルServataguse Muusikaより発表した1st音源[Limbo / Wind Swept]。モジュラーシンセサイザー、リズムマシン、サックス、ギターをガレージ内で鳴らしマイクを使って直接テープに録音、粗削りでミニマルな構造が妙な中毒性となって響き渡ります。







Originally one half, Side B, of a Servataguse Muusika tape release from Aug 2014. A kind of "Leitmotiv Limbo" dual album of two halves "Limbo / Wind Swept".

A dabbling of many kinds with a room full of stuff.

LEITMOTIV LIMBO - LIMBO/WIND SWEPT (cassette, private)
The cover lists the fifteen song titles, and says that one side is called 'Limbo' and the other is 'Wind Swept' and the band name; that's it... For it seems to me a band rather than a single person doing this, even when I am not entirely sure why I assume this. There is electronics in the form of a modular synthesizer, rhythm machines, saxophones and guitars. Right from the start this has something retro. Recorded in a garage somewhere with a microphone, direct to tape, which results in a direct sound recording but with a band playing some crude of the more experimental side of post-punk and no vocals. Stuff like this you had on end in the 80s; in the Netherlands for instance on the Limbabwe label. Some of the saxophone bits reminded me of Last Few Days while it uses also some cruder tape-experiments here and there. I quite enjoyed this whole obscurity thing and thought it might easily go under again and re-surface years from now and will have a second life on whatever file sharing we use then in blogosphere 10.0 (FDW)
