Ukuphambana's Brennschluss

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

I also did some searching on "IG methods" a couple of days ago. You guys
have come up with convincing suggestions (my favorite being "Integral
Guidance") and I have nothing to add.


Among the search results, however, the following page caught my attention:

"The original Ukuphambana track Brennschluss, produced under the influence
of Pynchon's mind-altering literature, was a short but intense sonic
fantasy, an imaginary trip with the rocket through its arc in space. The
remix album Brennschluss is a more literal exploration of the edge of
control: over a three year period, thirteen artists covering a wide
spectrum of experimental electronic styles were provided with the source
materials for Brennschluss and asked to create something new from it. The
result is a wildly diverse yet powerfully cohesive album, a collaboration
between control and chaos.

The Ukuphambana album Gritware Composite, featuring the original version
of Brennschluss, is also available at cdbaby.com."

Some samples are provided - they sound in my ears what those electronic
jams at the Scope of TCoL49 might have developed into - but
unfortunately(?) the original "Brennschluss" isn't prelistenable.

P.S. I must admit that more enjoyable noise to me is COME ON! FEEL THE
ILLINOISE! from "Illinois" by Sufjan Stevens whom Keith so justifiably
keeps bringing to our attention. A splendid album. (Btw, the song in
question - whose first part is titled "The World's Columbian Exposition"
- wonderfully references Cure's "Close To Me".)
