http://www.klangstabil.com/hymen new release on hymen records: NYMPHOMATRIARCH. CD / 12" VINYL. HYMEN ¥731 / ¥043 hecate’s rachael kozak has a thing with collaborations. she paired up earlier this year with lustmord’s brian williams on law of the battle of conquest, a visceral, percussive revision of lustmord’s drone aesthetic. now she’s shacking up with venetian snares’ aaron funk. literally. nymphomatriarch, a joint project between venetian snares and hecate, is 100% composed of sounds the duo made having sex together. but it’s not porno music. nymphomatriarch is cutting-edge drill beats and raucous noise that puts your ears in a vice. the tempestuous breaks venetian snares is known for spiral down to the very pits of hell and back thanks to hecate’s visceral atmospheric treatments, returning as mordant sound meant to corrode the soul. nymphomatriarch bristles with the crisp signature of traditional breakcore dynamics, yet unlike many albums in the genre, nymphomatriarch retains a sense of complex ambient sound and depth throughout its six tracks - this isn’t just another manic break ! record composed entirely on a hard drive. in other words, it’s everything you’d expect from a collaboration between venetian snares and hecate. nymphomatriarch just happens to be made from sex sounds. like matmos or ming + fs, nymphomatriarch manipulates conventional found sound into musical themes. but unlike matmos, who recorded plastic surgery sounds for their album a chance to cut is a chance to cure, or ming + fs sampling car doors, windshield wipers, and slamming trunks to produce music for a nissan commercial, nymphomatriarch employs the noise of anal and oral sex, straightforward copulation, “microphone insertion” and other privately recorded debaucheries committed while venetian snares and hecate were on tour together in europe and canada last year. those snapping high-hats running throughout “blood on the rope?” ass slaps torqued and looped like madness. the whizzing black noise of “input” and “outlet?” zippers ripping open and clothes flying off. the fiendish cri! es and murky ambience overshadowing “amaurophilia” and “hymen tramp ch oir?” just think about it for a second… or maybe not, suggests kozak when asked about the inevitable hype building up around nymphomatriarch. “at this point i don't care how or what people think of the album, we made it for ourselves really, a kind of personal investigation,” she says. “obviously people get hung up on the idea of it, but i think when they actually listen to the record it will be another story.” NYMPHOMATRIARCH. T-SHIRT. HYMEN ¥616 black one-sized t-shirt w/ front & back print. golden ink. available sizes: extra large and large. also available as a one-sized girlie-shirt. V.A.. BELIO:CD:WAR. MAGAZINE+CD. HYMEN ¥732 the belio war sonic assault system (package) comprises two elements: 1) a single compact disc (cd) of audio composites, called “tracks;” and 2) a bound, print copy of the spanish design magazine belio. war, which arrives in a non-descript sealed plastic container (bag), is designed to instantaneously immobilize personnel within an established radius by causing rapid excitation of the cerebrum through both sonic and visual input. the impact radius of war varies from location to location, but the end result is complete and total intellectual and emotional entertainment of the darker confines of the human soul. when played at high volumes on a public announcement (pa) or stereophonic sound reproduction system (stereo), war recreates the signature audible elements of modern musical combat. war accomplishes this objective utilizing five principal musical components (artists), all of which leverage high-calibre ambient, industrial, and experimental electronic equipment operated un! der demanding cultural pressures: matka - early-warning ambient siren system coupled to expansive synthesizer foundation; asphalt! - precision soundstage design and ebm aesthetic generation; end - concussive breakbeat matrices and psycho-cinematic audio effects; black lung - martial industrial rhythm loops and stealth-quality ambience; and projecto mirage - caustic roland analog rhythms and machine gun sounds. each artist on war contributes two original tracks to the cd, as well as remix of another artist’s track. together, they deliver a devastating audio payload of total intellectual and emotional entertainment, precision guided to the listener’s brain in tandem with the visual stimulus of the issue of belio magazine. the belio crew will also presentate the cd in the belio stand in sonar festival in spain, the days 12th, 13th and 14th of june. forthcoming end. errata. 12" lp neutral. caller id. cd all hymen releases are available via ant-zen mailorder-service @ http://www.ant-zen.com wholesale information on request.
