Jewish Noise recordings

Surprise (shh) performance in front of the Art LA Contemporary Saturday at 1PM. FORT Vanagallery. Foot Sunshine (noise). A Roche (folknik). MC White Jewish Girl (bad rap karaoke), and maybe Producer Snafu (hard) and anyone else off the street. + live drums of destruction. Look for us in the grey van.

As promised, here’s sound from the 1st Running With The Night. This is the track recorded from Fake Sunshine (Fuck Sunshine). Unmastered. Live captured room sound. Live vocals and performed with Star6 app for iphone. FS usually works all-analog, but adding star6 in to live performance felt really natural and intuitive with its gestural (accelerometer) sensors. The whole concert was recorded, so maybe there’ll be a split release on Jewish Noise in the future? The concert was video-taped as well, so maybe post some vids if people are interested.

Pretty amazing performance at House of Cats tonight in Penn Wynne/Philly-delphia Pennsyldrainia. Noise, dubstep, iphone, atmosphere, effects wrangling, crowd projections, poetry + corned-beef sandwiches, potato salad, kosher pickles, deviled eggs, and live photo portraiture. Huge Ups to the Philly family. Performers: GINGKO DJed tropical/dubstep/highlife, CHATTR on the tenori-on ambient beat repeats w/ laptop, J-Rome with a special spoken poetry event, J-Bachman on glitched-out keys, Fone Sunshine performing samples and effects with iphone/Star6. Thanks to Kate, April, Sharon, JW, Amy Orr, Big K and Laura. Also, MC Uncle Jerry was in full effect.

I’ve posted previously about my upcoming collaborative publication Janky here. Janky is a collection of zines, a magazine, handprinted photo and a SOUNDZINE with audio from Jewish Noise bands, friends and strangers. Currently, Janky has been fundraising for about 4 weeks through kickstarter.com and has raised about 51%. Well, there are 26 days left (fundraising runs through Feb 13) to raise the total $2500 to print/produce it. If you haven’t yet pledged, please consider doing so, and for as little as a dollar. It’s called a pledge and not a donation because you get rewards, like the complete package for $19, your own small photo included in the credits for $36, and your own audio track or field recording included at a higher amount (it’s true). For more information on Janky and to make a pledge, click here.

Running With The Night report: Maybe 20 or 30 guests packed the Adventist Speakeasy for the first concert in this monthly series. The concert was recorded and videotaped. Some of that may pop up here in the future.

Coming soon: a rolling noise show parked at/near an active art event in LA later in January. More info forthcoming. Or maybe not. It might be guerilla-style.

UPDATE: 1 more musician added to the list of performers.

Hey all, a few projects in the works, including the Molasses CD (dedicated to the Boston Molasses Flood) and THIS!

As part of Janky, a Telephony SoundZine will be released with music/soundwork by a variety of artists, all recorded over the phone. Some old names from the Jewish Noise record label will be on this, as well as a variety of other performers. The individual song styles run the gamut, but they’re all tied together by a lovely grainy, nofi, and sometimes downright sludgy sound with beautiful melodies and textures pulsing throughout.

Help make this happen. Visit the Kickstarter page and pledge money to reserve your copy!

hey, do you know 14 tracks by Boomkat?

they have someone “curate” a selection of 14 tracks from a particular subgenre or artist and friends.
ok that sounds boring, but it’s not. it’s abso-funking-amazing.

like this one by 1/2 of PAN SONIC:

and this mix of HYPE GRIME:

and this one by Philip Jeck and William Basinski

plus so many more.
they charge you about $11US to download, or stream it online free.

I’ve been on a several month break from releasing albums as I nursed my broken elbow and shoulder. At this point, i’m mostly healed and going through physical therapy. So with that out of the way, I am getting ready to once again release a slew of albums in the months ahead and playing live gigs around SoCal and the East Coast.

Upcoming highlights include, monthly concerts of hard electro noiseness (dubstep, d’n'b, experimental, etc) in the Inland Empire region/Riverside region.

Also, be on the lookout for new magazine/album releases, including a special one on the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919. Other upcoming releases include noise/dance mixtapes, thunderstorm recordings, and who knows what-all.

Saturday 9/12 I’m hosting Recession Special, a $free as in beer (Cheap as Free!) event at my studio. I’ll be getting rid of circuit bent gear, old tape machines, broken keyboards, etc. 2 – 4PM. Flyer below.

Muxtape is the shizz! So glad this thing’s going back up, now run as a musician/band-centered, simple-to-use place to share music. Fuck Sunshine has been invited to host music there. If all goes well, hopefully can get a lot more up there soon, and get some other Jewish Noise bands up there as well. Check it out. fucksunshine.muxtape.com
