rgt #08: Nodolby - Untitled C40

    Italian sound-shredder Nodolby contributes 40 minutes of frantic circuit bent cut-edits & gurgling synth jitter.  Never still and never settled, the A side rewards the close listener with ever-changing texture sheets draped over cold drones that gnaw through frontal lobes like an injection of synthetic termites hungry for your cortex.  The B side breathes considerably heavier after their feast, a dimming, emotionally somber piece that continually sinks deeper into a bleak, dark world until the light has fully faded.


  High bias type II chrome tapes with full-color, double-sided J-cards.  Limited to 50.

rgt #07: Parashi - Silenus

rgt #07: Parashi - Silenus C27

   At my first listen of Mike Griffin’s work I sat perplexed, really scratching my head over what I had just heard, wondering what the hell I’d just experienced.  Even after countless listens later, more often than not I still don’t have much more than the slightest clue yet the mystery just makes the listening experience better. On Silenus, Parashi maintains that captivating mystery by employing the services of a beat merchant hell-bent on summoning some sort of lurching beast, then sits on the altar paranoid & afraid to leave the comfort of its confines after it materializes.  A truly discomforting pair of recordings, even for those already familiar with his ominous & often hostile sound world.

rgt #06: Abusive Consumer - Crumbling Portals C28

    J Morales’s latest exploration of aural space brings a thirty-minute trip of evolving musique concrète vignettes & sound art sourced from a multitude of origins including prepared guitar, synth, field recordings, generated sounds, and various what-have-you seamlessly woven together to create an all-encompassing state of frigid sonic decay.  By combining the influence of mid-20th century sound adventurers with modern compositional methods, Crumbling Portals creates an immersive experience in spatial & textural listening, not unlike wandering through miles of underground caves.
