[PLOT SUMMARY]
DESCRIPTION:
Sticky-mitted matchup of two Minneapolis based avant/scum artists from the Sunship/Freedom From orbit. Dolores Dewberry (who has previously appeared on the infamous Susan Lawly release Extreme Music From Women) opens with three tracks of sleazy, sex-fueled power electronics and scatological cut-up, her totally antisocial harsh noise blat spliced with p*rno samples. Rough stuff. Origmami Genitalia consists of Cock E.S.P. co-founder E.W.Hagstrom and Eric Hofferber of Gentle Tuesday, and follow with 9 tracks of oozing drone-noise created from assorted electro-acoustic sources mixed in with rumbles of junkyard percussion. To top it off, there's some artsy video footage from both artists included on the enhanced CD-ROM portion of the disc. Tight.
REVIEW FROM AURAL PRESSURE:
Dolores Dewberry first came to prominence with her track ‘Paragraph 64’ on the Susan Lawly "Extreme Music From Women". Very little is known about her but she did appear on stage in London 2000 as part of the EMFW event in a rather fetching underwear ensemble and she also has an ongoing web journal if you care to see what she’s currently up to. On this split release she contributes 3 tracks of vivid EXTREME experimental noise soundscapes. Although all three are perfect examples of this type of music it will be her second track ‘The Black Bomber’ which will gain most airplay, if any radio station dares play it, and notoriety. Taking a long sample from a porn film or a faked porn film sample, damned if I could tell which, it’s a hilarious piece that’s sure to put a smile on any face who hears it. Whether this is meant to be a serious statement or just a parody only Dolores knows but it certainly works in this context of music. Who would have thought that such a racket, foul mouthed and all, could come from a bonny wee lass.
Origami Genitalia, with E W Hagstrom of Cock E.S.P as one of the players, meanwhile contribute ten tracks that delve deep into avant-garde / experimental electro-accoustic ground with semi black ambient overtones. Six of the ten tracks are fairly short in duration, from 1.15 to 1.45 minutes, which is a great pity as these tracks ‘Culture’, ‘Just Drugs‘, ‘Mud Dunk’, ‘Pig Hole’, ‘No Relief’, and ‘Inrage’ would have benefited from being expanded and developed more to fully bring out the sounds produced. an excellent collection of experimental montages which are very easy on the ear and makes for a very pleasurable listening experience. Here’s hoping that both acts get a full release to themselves in the future to showcase their prolific talents proper ly but until then this split CD will do just fine thanks.
REVIEW FROM VITAL WEEKLY:
Apparently Dolores Dewberry is also part of 'Extreme Music from Women', a CD compilation by Susan Lawly and her three tracks are all indeed quite noisy and all seem to deal with sex and pornography. It's however fairly common ground noise stuff that is going on here, except maybe that the vocals can be understood better. Origami Genitalia is Eric Hofferber of Gentle Tasaday (of which I never heard) and E.W. Hagstrom of Cock ESP (aswell as Sunship Records director). Their ten rather short tracks are much more interesting as they combine electro-acoustic sounds with noise. It's putting a contact microphone on some small object, amplifying it and the hiss, crackles and noise become part of the original small acoustic sound. A welcome difference with the usual noise onslaughts, and nice that they offer small tracks, instead of overlong, too similar tracks.
