Pimmon | Assembler
Assembler n. 1 a person who assembles a machine or its parts. 2 a) a program
for converting instructions written in low-level symbolic code into machine
code. b) the low-level symbolic code itself; an assembly language.
Assembler is Sydney based artist Pimmon's first release on Fallt. His recent
releases have included 12"s on both Fat Cat and ERS; solo CDs on (K-RAA-K)3
and Meme; a live recording on Ritornell (with Pita, Fennesz, Oren Ambarchi
and Keith Rowe) and an .mp3-only release on Mego sub-label Fals.ch.
Comprising four separate components, Assembler was conceived from the outset
to be an ongoing release which pushed beyond the confines of a standalone
CD. In addition to the core CD component, .mp3 files, SimpleTextAudio (by
Japanese Media Artist Otaku Yakuza) and Graphic Scores (by Fallt designers
Fehler) are available at the Assembler website for free download
(
http://www.fallt.com/assembler). Fallt are currently developing the website
to include web-based mixes and audio patches by a variety of collaborators.
Twelve static-soaked compositions which work both independently and as a
suite, Assembler is cinematic in both scope and execution. The most
exquisite melodies are buried under dense layers of static which, like
diamonds hidden within silt, reward close listening. Veering from the
trademark stuttering pulses of the opening '%macro.prologue' to the gently
unravelling fanfare of 'xlat' it reaches a peak in the buried melodies of
'repeat', which Pita described simply as, "Fine stuff!"
Pimmon is a contributor to Fallt's forthcoming limited edition 24 x 3"CD
invalidObject Series which features, amongst others: Pita, Akira Rabelais,
Scanner, Kim Cascone, Taylor Deupree, Richard Chartier, *0, Goem and V/Vm...
Future releases on Fallt include works by: Stephan Mathieu (Full Swing);
Japanese ultra-minimalist *0 (Nosei Sakata); and a limited edition folio of
audio/visual works by musician, painter and designer Richard Chartier.
