Patton's extended composition, Pranzo Oltranzista: Musica da Ravola per Cinque (Banquet Piece for Five Players) is inspired by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's Futurist Cookbook (1932). Performed by an all-star ensemble, Pranzo Oltranzista magically transports the listener to a surreal ambient world of the unexpected. In addition to his rock career, Mr. Patton has worked with the Rova Saxophone Quartet, Bob Ostertag, the Kronos Quartet, David Shea, Bill Laswell and John Zorn.

Release date: 1997.

8. Waiting 1:46
9. Blindness 4:04


notes: Weird Little Boy easily among John Zorn's most ambitious recent projects, this, the group's eponymously-titled debut , released though Zorn's own Tokyo-based Avant label. WLB are: guitarist Chris Cochrane, Faith No More singer Mike Patton (who doubles here on drums), guitarist, keyboardist and drummer Trey Spruance and percussionist William Winant. Zorn himself plays alto and samplers.The group improvise soundscapes to accompany Dennis Cooper and Casey McKinney's deviant little stories which are reproduced alongside Nayland Blake's illustrations in the 46 page which comes with this lavish package (itself designed by longtime Zorn-associate - as designer and musician - Ikue Mori). The music is appropriately schizoid, with arcs of piercing electronics and stabbing percussion slashing their way through bursts of warped surf guitar, recalling at once Naked City's genre-busting tendencies and Zorn's more nightmarish take on ambient (Leng T'Che, Absinthe, elements of Kristallnacht).

Recorded: November 26, 1995.
Release date: 04/21/1998.
Record label: Avant 043
Total playing time: 41:31 min.



Maldoror


Maldoror - She



Mike Patton - keyboards, effects, voice
Masami Akita - keyboards, effects

1. Butterfly Kiss 0:30
2. Twitch of the Death Nerve 2:17
3. Homunculus 3:52

7. She 3:50
8. Cherry Blossom Inferno 1:30
9. Conqueror Worm 2:03
10. Bubble Bath and a Valium 0:44
11. White Tears of the Maggot 2:36
12. Chiffon Lingerie 2:18
13. Lullaby (she who must be obeyed) 8:17


notes: "She" is the result of a mixture of boredom, circumstance and destiny. You see, Mike Patton had a few dates off during an Australian Faith No More tour a few years ago. It was during a period that Mike was deep into Japanese noise music and especially the king of the genre, Masami Akita (his Merzbow has released over 200 records). He called Masami up and the two performed several packed improv shows in Australia. The shows inspired a recording session in Tokyo in 1997. Mike spent some time back home trying to organize the recorded chaos. With giant blocks of improvised sound combined with samples,cartoon music and other found sounds he formed these "songs." The name Maldoror comes from a nineteenth century novel of the same name, written by Lautremont. It is an early French surrealist masterpiece, full of brutality and beauty - just like the music on this record.

Release date: 09/28/1999.
Record label: Ipecac Records (IPC-3)
Total playing time: 36:06 min.

House of Discipline


Bob Ostertag - samples
Mike Patton - voice and effects
Otomo Yoshihide - turntables, guitar


House of Discipline has done only 2 concerts, in San Francisco and Bologna, yet already its reputation has spread through the underground. Three top improvisors of extremely diverse backgrounds meet together under one roof. Tokyo meets San Francisco. Noise meets more noise. Godzilla meets Flipper. Discipline to spare. Highly unlikely and altogether improbable. Watch for the sister project: House of Splendor.


Moonraker


Mike Patton - voice and vocals
DJ Eddie Def - rythm and scratch
Buckethead - basic music


Moonraker performed at the Knitting Factory, LA in December 18., 2000.


Peeping Tom


Mike Patton - ?


A Peeping Tom demo, on which Patton played all the instruments, has already garnered the interest of several major labels, said Werckman, who describes the sound as a "mixture of rock, technology, and samples" with the closest comparison being to Beck. Recording is expected to begin in late summer or early fall, with a release in early 2002.

Avant is proud to announce the release of Bob Ostertag's Fear No Love. In a radical departure for the composer, winner of a 1995 NEA Composers Fellowship for contemporary music, Fear No Love features fierce groove-based dance songs. This is funk, but warped through a sensibility honed in fifteen years at the forefront of the avant-garde.

Ostertag has assembled an unlikely and dazzling group of collaborators for Fear No Love, from rock star Mike Patton (ex-Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas) to British guitar pioneer Fred Frith to underground luminaries of San Francisco's queer scene. Vocalists include Lynn Breedlove of the scandalous hard-core dyke band Tribe 8; legendary chanteuse and performance diva Justin Bond; Raz Kennedy of Bobbie McFerrin's Voicestra and session superman with Kenny Loggins and many others; and Christian Huygen of the pop trio Absolut Manpussy.

Fear No Love is a disc that pushes all the limits. Almost every track defines its own genre. "The Man in the Blue Slip" is a dance/industrial/gender-fuck/domination-submission love duet. "Not Your Girl" goes in a new-jack-swing/R&B/talking-blues direction. And "Positive", an HIV+/ambient/techno/soul tour de force, may be the first true love ballad of the age of AIDS.

Ostertag's previous work has ranged from All the Rage, written for the Kronos Quartet and premiered at Lincoln Center, to his ground-breaking outside jazz ensemble Say No More, to his solo recordings and collaborations with John Zorn and Fred Frith. Fear No Love explores even newer terrain. With sharp and edgy queer lyrics, a wide-ranging pop eclecticism, and fierce grooves, Fear No Love will shake up the dance floor -- and more.

Song #18 - Mike Patton on text/vocal.

Song Drapes composed by Jerry Hunt with Karen Finley, Shelley Hirsch and Mike Patton.
Jerry Hunt was a friend of Jack Ruby, a pianist in strip clubs.He was also one of the great pioneers of live electronic music performance. Very much a modern-day shaman, he designed most of his own equipment and used it in unique ways to create backdrops for his magical performances that referred to, among many other things, exotic ritual, the esoteric traditions of Rosicrucianism, Aleister Crowley and modern science. The Song Drapes were some of Jerry’s last and greatest creations and this special first release, authorized by the Hunt estate, includes performances by two of Jerry’sclosest friends and collaborators, vocalist Shelley Hirsch and perfomance artist Karen Finley, and one track featuring the popular vocalist Mike Patton.

A double-CD collection of Tzadik artists and special guests paying tribute to one of the great geniuses of American music.

Burt Bacharach's compositions explode the expectations of what a popular song is supposed to be. Advanced harmonies and chord changes with unexpected turnarounds and modulations, unusual changing time signatures and rhythmic twists, often in uneven numbers of bars. But he makes it all sound so natural you can't get it out of your head or stop whistling it. Maddeningly complex, sometimes deceptively simple, these are more than just great pop songs: these are deep explorations of the materials of music.

Modern jazz greats (Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Joey Baron, Dave Douglas, Medeski Martin & Wood), rock luminaries (Robert Quine, Lloyd Cole, Mike Patton, Marc Ribot, Kramer, Yuka Honda, Robin Holcomb) and experimental stars (Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Elliott Sharp, Shelley Hirsch) shed new light on a highly original and inspiring composer/arranger who brought the lessons he learned from bebop and Darius Milhaud to the world of pop music.

This is the first installment in Tzadik's Great Jewish Music series, which pays tribute to some of the greatest composers of our time.

Following on the enormous success of Tzadik's Burt Bacharach collection, this second installment of Tzadik's Great Jewish Music series focuses on the songs of French composer Serge Gainsbourg. A superstar since the 1950's in his native France, Gainsbourg is barely known here in the United States - a condition this special tribute to his genius hopes in some way to remedy. In addition to Tzadik regulars, Tzadik is proud to be able to include tracks by Cibo Matto, Elysian Fields, Kramer, Franz Treichler (of the Young Gods), Blonde Redhead and many, many others. 21 tracks by 21 artists - over 74 minutes of music, all on one dynamic disc. This is an unusual project that you will play again and again, discovering new delights with each listen.

"Give me a C-Major chord and I'll give you a thousand melodies." - Marc Bolan

Highlighting music by some of the greatest Jewish composer in the past several decades, The Great Jewish Music series has paid tribute to first Burt Bacharach, Serge Gainsbourg and now British glam-rock pioneer Marc Bolan. Named as a primary influence by seminal punk rockers like the Ramones and Johnny Rotten, Marc Bolan and his group T. Rex forged a new music in the early 70's, confounding audiences and critics alike with his mercurial style changes and experimentations. Rejecting the complex time signatures and advanced harmonies in fashion at the time, Bolan went back to the basics, bringing a primitive raunchy edge to his colorful cast of fantasy characters. This compilation features a spectacular lineup of some of the most adventurous and creative rockers around, and is sure to be one of the most popular CD presented on the Tzadik label to date.

4. Relax And Sleep - Mike Patton is rumored to be on this track.

Milk Cult is actually a Steel Pole Bathtub side project of sods, but it would be a serious lack of estimation to regard this LP as a harmless curiosity created by people who don't know when to get out of the studio. This record is all tape loops, samples and, in the old-fashioned sense of industrial, a landfill's worth of instruments of innovative and previously untested nature. The two Steel Poles, the Bumblebee and C.C. Nova (with help from Darren Mor-X), are joined by computer mastermind Conko in creating sonic travelogues without words, leading us from one underground labyrinth of alien construction to the next, the aliens in question repulsed by nature and reliant on technology to a religious degree. The 38 minutes of "Clown Party" - six segments of scurrilous little tape-loop noises, along with turntables used as brainwashing devices and the distant echo of some Slayer or Metallica riff taken wholly out of context - create a clamor like an army of radioactive, titanium monster ants gnashing their jaws and communicating through their feelers. The piece de apocalypse, however, is the opening 10-minute "Love God," a soundtrack to a film of the same name, in which various noises of squishiness and decay are orchestrated with mechanized whirrings, mare absurdly spliced metal riffs and outbreaks of percussion, the track bustling with activity and rhythm while still sounding like an intercepted transmission from warring supercomputers.

The Crybaby is the third installment in the Melvins' Ipecac Records trilogy, and the band ensures that the series goes out with a bang. Covering "Smells Like Teen Spirit," they go balls out, even as they remain fiercely loyal to the original, and the fact that Leif Garrett provides the track's vocals does nothing to detract from King Buzzo and co.'s distorted wallop. In addition to Garrett, an all-star cast of guest vocalists contributes to the fray: the Jesus Lizard's David Yow lends his signature howl to "Blockbuster," ex-Brutal Truth grind maniac Kevin Sharp goes schizo on "Moon Pie," and Hank Williams III's Southern drawl on "Ramblin' Man" offers the Melvins a home on the range. Mike Patton's demented utterances grace the spaced-out grooves of "G.I. Joe," and members of Tool soak "Divorced" in black ambience. Would you expect anything less?

Melt Banana - Charlie

1. Introduction For Charlie
2. Circle-Jack (Chase The Magic Words, Lego Lego)
3. Spathic!!
4. Tapir's Flown Away
5. F.D.C. For Short
6. Taen Taen Taen (?)

12. Stimulus For Revolting Virus
13. Excess
14. Chipped Zoo On The Wall, Wastes In The Sky...


"Introduction For Charlie" opens Melt-Banana's third full-length with vocalist YaSuKo yelping like a warrior princess in a chop-socky film. She shrieks over a lopsided, galloping rhythm and some frenzied, post-hip-hop turntable scratching. That hectic velocity pretty much sets the pace of Charlie, which like the band's previous efforts, convulses at super-human speed, delivering a hardcore-informed, distinctively Japanese audio information overload. Agata's irrational, post-metal guitar slams into Yasuko's aggravated pep squad proclamations atop tight, neck-snapping rhythm change-ups. But don't slag off MB as "just another noise band from Tokyo." The quartet's spirited, spastic voodoo coheres into a kind of damaged logic. Charlie is not noise for noise's sake; it's some of the most painfully inventive, zero-attention-span rock music you'll ever hear. The self-aggrandizing "Area 887" insists that "Melt-Banana will melt your face off and melt your brain." Who's arguing?

Nathaniel Merriweather's brand new album LOVAGE: MUSIC TO MAKE LOVE TO YOUR OLD LADY BY is THE one thing to get right to ensure that every evening goes your way. Featuring Dan The Automator, Prince Paul, Damon Albarn, Jennifer Charles, Mike Patton, and Maseo, the album - which is Nathaniel Merriweather's tribute to Serge Gainsborough - is out on 5th November on Tommy Boy.

LOVAGE bio

Jackie Gleason once commissioned his pal Salvador Dali to paint him an album cover. The big man, remember, wasn't just the world's most famous bus driver. He was a **bon vivant extraordinaire**, and he leveraged his considerable girth to produce several albums of surreal seduction music. With titles like "Music for Lovers" and "Opiate D'Amour," the records were a conquest even before the shrink wrap came off. Gleason once described his melodic intentions in no uncertain terms. "My music should sound like it's 5 a.m., you see her body outlined through her dress and you get that 'Mmmm, I want to come' feeling," he said. He would have loved our man Nathaniel Merriweather. Like the Great One, the debonair Mr. Merriweather knows how to set a mood. And we're not just talking Champale and light dimmers. No. Mood for the estimable Merriweather is like oxygen for the rest of us. He doesn't have to think about it; it's his entire world, and it sustains him. Gives him staying power. Cool as a cucumber, that Merriweather. He's the complete package. Chances are you know our man as the co-founder of the Handsome Boy Modeling School, the miracle undertaking that promised to give every man "a neatly-groomed, well-chiseled, drop-dead handsome face." His exquisite wisdom in the love department made Merriweather the envy of common men the world over, but that was just the beginning. Now Nathaniel's got a mustache, and he's positively unstoppable.

The new Merriweather album is "Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By," and it's guaranteed to put a bee in her bonnet, jelly in her knees and paste in the roof of her mouth. It's a masterwork of persuasion, right up there with "Let's Get It On," "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me" and "Me So Horny." If this record doesn't get the girl, well, it's hopeless, Jack. With a little help from his friends, Merriweather explores some of the deepest psychic cavities known to man. The dark folds of romance are their playground, and they'll try every tunnel once. Trembling and breathless, the voices of Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields) and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, and many more) will fog even the primmest of glasses. They wrap around each other like human pretzels, fresh from under the heat lamp and lovingly dipped in very expensive dijon mustard. "You are the bitter," Patton growls. "I am the sweet," coos Charles in reply, playing the kitten to his tiger. And so on: "You are the griddle," "I am the meat." Ha-cha! On another number, "Strangers on a Train," our man Merriweather reclaims the devil-may-care allure of classic film noir for the age of hip hop. Ms. Charles, it would seem, is thirsty: "If you would, sir, pardon me," she whispers, "the stiff one is my specialty." How's the response, you ask? Let's just say the Handsome Boy focus groups have barely been able to contain themselves.

Of course, Nathaniel has been known to wet a few whistles in his day. With the dastardly deliciousness of "Lovage," though, he's outdone himself. In fact, as legions of satisfied customers will attest, Mr. Merriweather can now lay authentic claim to the name "the Great One." Jackie Gleason, eat your heart out. "Lovage: an herb that is said to be a benefit to relieving abdominal pains due to gastrointestinal gas. It's also been touted to reduce flatulence when consumed as a tea brewed from its roots or leaves." (The part of Nathaniel Merriweather is played by Dan "The Automator" Nakamura.)


The Dillinger Escape Plan


The Dillinger Escape Plan - Irony Is A Dead Scene



(August 27, 2002 / Epitaph /* 18:02 min.)

1. Hollywood Squares 4:08
2. Pig Latin 3:31
3. When Good Dogs Do Bad Things 6:00
4. Come To Daddy 4:23


musicians:
Mike Patton - vocals, voice, sampler and percussion
Benjamin Weinman - guitar and keys
Chris Pennie - drums, percussion and keys
Brian Benoit - guitar
Liam Wilson - bass
Adam Doll - keys and samples

Precise, rigorous and artfully plotted, Irony Is A Dead Scene - the Epitaph debut from New Jersey's DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN – is perhaps best described as the sonic equivalent of the syndicated television program, "World's Scariest Police Chases." An action packed, arresting amalgam of explosive hardcore, skillful speed metal and trippy jazz, Irony may only clock in at eighteen minutes, but the EP has two album's worth of hair-raising tempo changes. Hearing it conjures up exhilarating and frightening visions of a primer-spotted '81 Chevy Malibu dragging a sparking tailpipe while darting in and out of five lanes on the Jersey Turnpike at 90 miles an hour.

With that in mind, it's little surprise that the Garden State's noisecore specialists DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN – currently comprised of guitaristis Ben Weinman and Brian Benoit, bassist Liam Wilson and drummer Chris Pennie – have become a leading force in the world of extreme music in just a few short years. Propelled by tremendous technique and a tireless work ethic, the band's first album, 1999's Calculating Infinity (Relapse), became an underground success soon after it dropped.

Scoring an early fan in Mike Patton, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN hit the road that year to support his band Mr. Bungle. Three years later - following the 2000 expanded reissue of DILLINGERS's original self-titled record (Now Or Never) and the departure of their original vocalist – the former Faith No More frontman now ups his D.E.P. endorsement by lending his careening pipes to the long-anticipated Irony Is A Dead Scene.

If the introductory track on Irony, "Hollywood Squares," seems reckless at first, a closer listen reveals a meticulous grindcore craftsmanship. Fusing a number of unpredictable segments together with Patton's indescribable utterances, the song yields an awesome, mind-blowing result. Elsewhere, brave experimentalism envelopes "Pig Latin," a number that opens to headfuck atmospherics before shredding into enthralling chunks of punk/metal and landing back in the same trippy environs where it began.

Defying categorization on Irony, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN breeds a complex form of music that hints at acts as diverse as the Jesus Lizard, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and System Of A Down while remaining it's own uniquely intense beast. And speaking of System, just this past Spring as the Escape Plan announced their new deal with the trailblazing Epitaph label, that band went so far as to tap the D.E.P. for an opening slot on their sold-out 30-date European concert trek. Met with an overwhelming response from overseas audiences, word promptly spread throughout the U.K. about THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. The outfit was subsequently invited to perform on the main stage at this Summer's prestigious Reading and Leeds festivals.

"I'm the best you've ever had," barks Patton on "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things," as the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN explodes beside him. And judging by the group's ever-swelling following, he could be right. Still, Pennie's drumming is unstoppable and perfectly timed here, while Weinman and Benoit's acrobatic guitar interplay astounds. Hypnotizing and volatile, the track builds to a frantic peak. Then like a pin in a balloon, the band escorts the once "Epic" showman into a dreamlike abyss before resuming the intense assault.

Much like their home state, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's music balances brutality and beauty. And just like those scary police chases, Irony Is A Dead Scene is quite a ride.


Team Sleep


Team Sleep

(2003 /* /* min.)

Chino Moreno - vocals
Todd Wilkinson - strings
DJ Crook - turntables

PROBABLE COLLABORATORS:
- Frank Delgado "Deftones" (turntables)
- Abe Cunningham "Deftones" (drums)
- Melissa Auf Der Maur "ex-Smashing Pumpkins" (bass)
- Mike Patton "Mr. Bungle" (vocals)

After the success of the Deftones' third album, The White Pony, singer Chino Moreno announced his intentions to tackle a new project and take time off from his band. This project ended up becoming Team Sleep, a band made up of vocalist Moreno, turntablist DJ Crook, and guitarist Tom Wilkinson. Wilkinson was a childhood friend of Moreno's, and in fact had never played on an album before. The group tried to blend the moody heaviness of Moreno's other group with the heady beats of Massive Attack. They entered the studio toward the tail-end of 2001, working with producer Terry Date on their debut. Guest musicians such as ex-Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur, Helium singer Mary Timony, Mr. Bungle/Faith No More frontman Mike Patton, and several Deftones members also contributed to the album. The band took the music to the road during the recording, attempting to flesh out their sound and gain some road experience with each other.

The core of Team Sleep is Moreno, DJ Crook, and Chino's childhood friend, guitarist Todd Wilkenson, but expect to see a variety of Moreno's musician buddies make contributions here and there. Melissa Auf Der Maur from Hole is singing vocals on one track. "I wanted Melissa because I wanted a vocal that sounded angelic," Moreno explains. "Frank [Delgado, Deftones' DJ] has been very involved in the music, and Abe [Cunningham, Deftones drummer] may do some drumming. Everyone in the Deftones will probably get a little piece of it," says Moreno.
"Deftones are touring a lot, and the road can be boring. I can put most of the equipment I use for this in a case, and bring it to my hotel room to work on after shows or on days off." Using guitar or keyboards, Moreno will put basic ideas down on a four-track, send the tape to Crook who transfers everything to a 16-track, then develops beats to the music using an old SP-12. Wilkenson does the same with his basic ideas. Everything goes through Crook, then he sends the tapes back to Chino who records his vocals. To date, Team Sleep has completed about four or five songs, and is looking to finish about a dozen.
The idea for Team Sleep came about when Deftones label Maverick asked for an acoustic version of the band's "Be Quiet and Drive." "I really enjoyed doing that. It was simple, I could work on the music by myself, and use my own ideas that weren't really typical Deftones-type material." The Deftones' track "Teenager" from "White Pony," originally started out as a Team Sleep song, and is the only songon that album that uses a drum machine. "I hadn't written any vocals for it," says Moreno. "I played it for the band, and they were cool with it being on the album. Then Stef [Carpenter, Deftones' guitarist] and Frank collaborated on adding extra sounds to it." © www.deftones.com

Track #14: Mike Patton on the phone.

It's not a stretch to say that pulling off a phony phone call requires great skill, and that a prank call can be considered an American art form (albeit a goofy one). Great Phone Calls takes the practical joking of silly phone calls to new levels of absurdity.
Originally released on the tiny independent label, Amarillo, this recording has been reissued by a slightly larger independent label, Ipecac. The disc is rounded out with bonus tracks culled from the Telephuckyou 7-inch (ridiculous outgoing messages for your answering machine) that circulated as an underground single in the early '90s.
Simply put, the recordings here live up to the album's title. Tracks such as "I'm in Your Band" and "Hijinx and a Child" make one wonder why anyone would stay on the phone when their chain is so obviously being yanked. "Pickle Potato" and "The Man from HOTT" up the ante in calling restaurants with dopey requests for food items only a moron would order.
Great Phone Calls is so lowbrow, it's actually highbrow. This CD is a half-step away from toilet humor and fart jokes -- two comedy ploys that make no pretenses -- and these calls deliver a welcome dose of neo-Dada outrageousness.


Violent Onsen Geisha


Violent Onsen Geisha - Otis



(1993 / June 12, 1998 / Endorphine Factory, EDP 006)

* Otis



It is rumored that Mike Patton and Bill Gould (ex-Faith No More) are on this record.

Violent Onsen Geisha (a.k.a Boryoku Onsen Geisha, a.k.a Nakahara Masaya) are big with the more intellectual members of the cool U.S. rock fraternity (Beck, Beasties, Sonic Youth), but, musically at least, the similarities end right there. More Ciccone Youth than Sonic Youth, Violent Onsen Geisha approach sound from a deconstructionist's point of view, finding different facets of the same noise at different times, while eschewing traditional values like melody and harmonic progression in favour of an aural collage more reminiscent of an Aphex Twin remix of a Bordeoms' bootleg than of what fundamentalists like to call 'music'.

Not for the faint of heart, Violent Onsen Geisha's work, like fellow sonic stormtroopers Boredoms, doesn't always translate well when listened to in the comfort of a rocking chair. Aside from the mutant Dickies-on-downers version of 'Going Up The Country', a relatively po-faced take on old standard 'Kuro no funauta', and the let's play it straight of 'Some ni kuwareta musume', the rest of the new album Nation of Rhythm Slaves (Rail Recordings) is either intelligent, but grating noise or, as is often the case, tiresome electro-noodling.

Though threatening to play recognizable tracks off the album this time round, live shows tend to be more a case of endure or leave rather than like or dislike. Masochists who enjoy their noise mercurial and esoteric will be able to find refuge away from the dull and predictable sledgehammer thuds of pseudo-industrial bands like Ministry or Nine Inch Nails when Nakahara hits town.

From the legendary Bolognese festival, another extraordinary compilation which is not merely a collection of pieces but a long logical work in it's own right, assembled with radical editing flair by turntable player (and festival maestro) Massimo Simonini following the spirit of the topic of last year's Angelica: sampling. Featuring 'Ground Zero', Chris Cutler's 'P53', Stock Hausen and Walkman, Bob Ostertag, Ikue Mori, Dianne Labrosse, Martin Tetreault, Tenko, Dagmar Krauze and Marie Goyette, Zygmunt Krauze (with Orchestra del Teatro Communale di Bologna), Mike Patton, Uchihashi Kazuhisa and the Italian Trio Magneto. Plus cameo appearances from John Oswald and Rene Lussier. A tribute to one of the best European festivals. Great compilation with live acts from the experimental music festival Angelica Festival Internazionale Di Musica, Bologna.
A couple of the (non-Patton) tracks are built from samples of "Raumpatrouille" with new vocals.

House of Discipline


Bob Ostertag - samples

House of Discipline has done only 2 concerts, in San Francisco and Bologna, yet already its reputation has spread through the underground. Three top improvisors of extremely diverse backgrounds meet together under one roof. Tokyo meets San Francisco. Noise meets more noise. Godzilla meets Flipper. Discipline to spare. Highly unlikely and altogether improbable. Watch for the sister project: House of Splendor.

Peeping Tom


Mike Patton


A Peeping Tom demo, on which Patton played all the instruments, has already garnered the interest of several major labels, said Werckman, who describes the sound as a "mixture of rock, technology, and samples" with the closest comparison being to Beck. Recording is expected to begin in late summer or early fall, with a release in... only God knows when...

Is he into music or something?

[Cat]

*applauds monkey star*

That is really quite impressive- in reference to both you and the superb Mike Patton

[DarkJon64]

What about Fantomas? How could anyone forget them? Delerium Cordia is going to be.... unspeakably great.

[monkey star]

Actually thats the first I've noticed I've missed them out, ooh er , I'll fix this soon DC will be a fine record indeed except I rekon no one will really listen to it, they will give it a few tries then one day it will all click into place.

I rekon someone should actually make a film where DC soundtracks it.

[Blank_Frackis]

indeed, mike patton would make an interesting actor something akin to johhny depp but weirder, I think he's starring in a film I read that somewhere feel free to disembowel me if I'm wrong

[Pete!]

you are quite correct. Firecracker is its name, theres a 30 second clip of it somethere, search the forums.

[Hayabusa]

Firecracker is going to be some movie.

[delirium_c0rdia]

i don't have all that records , just some of them
