Ересь & Milzīgi Cepelīni No Kormilavas против Пост-Материалистов (2012)
Looks like a simple split single, but contains two brilliant songs - cover versions of Post-Materialists' stuff. "Ересь" stands for lo-fi punk musick. Under the name "Milzīgi Cepelīni No Kormilavas" hides a well-known-shitcore-maniac Monopolka.

Booby Mason – Živá Příroda EP (2011)

Total time × 13:35

***

More likely that your interest in this 2-tracks download release caused by the artist's name. Really, a prolific young musician hailing from obscurely disclosed Siberian backwoods, Anton aka Booby Mason has already made a somewhat high reputation for himself by his creative activities and gained some inernational recognition in the narrow range of experimental and noise music fans. Besides loads of home-made records, released and distributed mostly by his own small label Hiroshima Toy Pet, Booby Mason is also considered to be an art project always open for new experiences and personal development.

Alhough this EP called Živá Příroda (Wild Nature in czech), its content actually seems to be something entirely unnatural. It's unlikely that you'll find something similar to the BM's previous outputs here.
This record represents us the new side of Mr. Mason's internal world. Unintentionally and roughly composed, with well obscured sound origins, Živá Příroda brings you in a very sensitive and atmospheric interior landscape of the artist's mind, interconnected with his external reality, presented to be a monotonous layering of abandoned housing blocks and inhabited construction sites, a regularized urban space, every centimeter of which is filled with dead electricity and concrete.

First track is a short prelude for the main act, a preview of what is hidden in mysterious foggy woods, drawing closer and closer, while a whistling wind blows over the restless surface of dark water, generating loop waves and rhythmic reverberations. Just for a moment, all calms down, and in this unquiet silence you can hear the crackling of torn branches and after-rain drops falling from heavy-foliage leaves.
Now, you're already in the middle of this strange forest. You find overgrown path and follow it, but then you make wrong step and everything that surrounds you becomes malevolent and hostile. Ill-natured droning abrasions take you into atmosphere of fear and despair, which completely fill you, and then cycles through resampling textures of cryptic echoes and ambient pulsations. This all finally evolves into the infinite series of distorted electronic beats, thrashing, making you feel emotion of dependence (this is my favourite part of the second track).

I don't know what instrumentation and programming were used by Anton, I can only establish a fact that he created a wonderful and flawless piece of deep musical exploration, slightly touched by his own brand of amusement. Producing something new and offbeat, he used his traditional approaches in sound-writing: computed recordings made by cheap dictophone, monstrous delaying, and combined it all with his vision of what the ART is – with the hand-made/lo-fi/DIY aesthetics. All together, it sounds just great, because the process hasn't become more or less important than the product.

No doubt that EP's original concept was inspired by the Nature itself – chaotic, alien, ominous, WILD.
You can't understand it, you can't feel it, you can't control it. You only can be absorbed by it.
Name in czech makes us reference to the second thing influenced Mr. Mason – his trip to Western Europe. Perhaps, views of old towns with rich history and several pints of české pivo made Booby to produce something that highly differed his sound from all past efforts.
Very positive experience, I would like to recommend it for everyone without any reservation.

Allelu Lockus - Cross The Twilight Of Dry Reason (2011)

Another new stuff on Hiroshima Toy Pet. This release is really unique, a boy from a neighboring siberian city (Novosibirsk) make an album, which lasts for 3 hours. Very atmospheric and personal record, even a photo for cover was taken from his grandpa's collection. It's about 300 Mb, but you gotta take it.

Tee Tee Cabbage - Театр Моих Родственников (2011)


My good friend did this brilliant stuff. Psychedelic and noisy cut-up about Andrey Chikatilo - soviet maniac. Recorded in winter of 2010, here, in Omsk. You have to enjoy it.

Thirst For Consumption - Isolation [EP] (2011)

Harsh-noise from the north capital of Russia - Saint Petersburg (or you may call it Leningrad). One 10-minute track and the design of the cover is as old school as the sound. Pretty cool work.
Torturing Nurse / Booby Mason split will be released on Smell The Stench in the end of april.
60 copies of harsh from China and Siberia, on cdrs with my artwork.

Booby Mason - Live @ Hiroshima Toy Pet (2009)

"Hiroshima Toy Pet" is not only my little label, this is also my apartment, where i recorded all my stuff, my shelter. This 10 minutes is a little mix, which i did live, in 2009, for a couple of my friends. I mixed some psychotic samples and screams with pop songs and my tracks.
Released through net-label Hum And Hiss Records.





Chika Haka-Shitsu - 地下墓室 (2011)


Our new stuff (me and my best friend under the name Chika Haka-Shitsu)
was released yesterday on Foxberry Records (love that guy. really!)

"うわぁ! What the hell is this!
As soon as it seemed that nothing could terrify me more than grinding Merzbow and that nothing couldbe more weirdthan the noisescapes by Guilty Connector, these guys drilled into my head andmelted my brain!
Prudently, tactfully and in some ways even gentlythey'll make your mind retching:
eerie collages of drunken voices breaks theelectrified silence of cold urban driveways for morethan thirteen minutes,
and that's not all!
You bet, our old friend Booby Mason recorded tous another longplay >> eleven minutes of psychedelic brain scanning with folk tunes played on the simple harmonica...

Though why I'm telling all this bullshit,
listen it to yourself and blow your head off! ー♪" (Foxberry Records)

Booby Mason - 乾燥 (2011)

First release of the new year. Big thanx to Foxberry Records, Yuki Zero & Cats.

"Booby Mason. Under this alias hides a young noise musician from Omsk [RU] named Anton. In 2009 he founded 広島の おもちゃ ペット label, on which he releases all his own musical projects, including this one. Throughout all his activity time he has produced about 30 recordings in different styles of experimental music - from harsh noise to easier electronics.

There is no doubt that Booby Mason is mostly influenced by Japanese noise school. In this connection it is not surprising that his new longplay recording is called in Japanese - 乾燥, that means dryness or dehumidification.
Twenty minutes of pure psychedelic noise with various complicated structures and original analogue/digital sound.

Until the new split with Torturing Nurse on Great Misanthrope Records is still coming, let's enjoy this withering noisy psychedelia right now!"

coming soon...
