Peter Kolovos : guitar. Andrew Maxwell: drumkit. Doug Russell: guitar. Released November 2003. “A gorgeous record of free sound: Through three unsettled pieces, Open City breaks down the formalism of the avant garde, noise and free improvisation to reveal one of today’s most distinctive and intense group dynamics. The group use a constant flow of deep drone, pointilistic cut ups, rich texture and silence to create Alpha music. Unrepeatable and unpredictable, aggressively abstract, time-stamped, adaptive, actionist, attentionist, fun. An organic assembly language in an open field, avoiding the trance and repetition of idiomatic pop for sound statement and direct coinage. Open City aims for a moment before music, the unsettled pause before a devastating blow. The Birth of Cruel is a generational X-flare, a sound proposition, a coronal mass ejection of propulsive and audible means. Enjoy!
Peter Kolovos : guitare. Andrew Maxwell: batterie. Doug Russell: guitare. November 2003. Un trio d’improvisation free rock autant attiré par les sons longs et entretenus que par le bruit pur.
