Someone mentioned a 3-hour Gescom set at Schizm; how was it? Does anyone have an advance schedule for Schizm? Now that we all know how to pronounce Autechre, what about Gescom: hard or soft g? -- Richard

Well, Gescom is a contraction of Gestalt Communications, so I guess that depends on how you pronounce "gestalt". /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

I'm going to say Jay-ga. Last April, I was calling about a Jega show while in London, and asked if "Yay-ga" was playing that night. I got some kind of "Wha?" in return, so I tried "Jay-ga" and finally seemed to connect... BTW: I remember something about a thread several weeks ago regarding American hip-hop producers and their similarities to electronic stuff. I'm convinced that if tracks from the latest Busta Rhymes, Timbaland or RZA LPs (heck, even Jay-Z) were released on some obscure label without vocals, they'd blow up around here. There's even some good productions on No Limit Records (maybe one or two per album), with really hot cymbals going tsss-tsss and those great start-stop bass rhythms. Maybe Wu-Tang is onto this, since an instrumental version of RZA's album is coming out early next year... (Wasn't there an album of DJ Premier productions out in Britain awhile ago?) .John. NP: RZA As Bobby Digital (Gee Street) -- he even samples Portishead! I've always thought she was the worst thing to happen to the band, so I chuckled after hearing Beth pitched-up to chipmunk range.

'jestalt' would be a soft "g". the word should be pronounced "geshtalt" (with a hard g like 'guess'), and therefore gescom would theoretically be "geshcom"...which is not necessarily how anyone involved would actually pronounce it, considering that most people say 'gestalt' with a soft g and an english 's' sound (as opposed to a german 's' sound). ...

ges/talt com/munications. soft g. unless rob or sean happen to pronounce it through one of their fx filters, in which case it'd be the hardest, most metallic, digitally scraped-up 'g' you've ever heard. sr -- sd

the illegible DR liner notes on 'incunabula' featuring lots of humorously sober shoutouts to the whole 'gestalt communications crew' etc.

> btw - german. hard g.

i'm confused: which is hard, which soft: 'jestalt,' 'guesstalt'? latter pron. correct? not knowing a word of german (save for 'wissenchaft', 'unheimlichkeit,' 'kunstwerk,' 'kraftwerk' and 'unzeitgemasse betrachtungen') sr -- sd

Fucking managed to miss it, even though I live just next door. I'm not so sure there is any extensive advance schedule, since it's just once a month and maybe it isn't planned so long beforehand. On the 28th it'll be the residents + some special guest. DJ Hemelektronik
