your greedbagpress release - Swarm & Dither
it's been over three years since the release of 'oiseaux 96-98', hrvatski's debut album for his own recankreuzungs klankewerkzeuge recordings limited of cambridge record label. much has changed in those three years. keith-hrvatski has toured the world several times over, collaborated with everyone from malcolm mooney & michael karoli to matmos to peter kowald & daniel carter. he's recorded & released eps and albums as gai/jin, keith fullerton whitman, the finger lakes, morlock stomp, and gqrtgwef, etc... in other words he's lived, expanded his horizons a bit. but in the end he hasn't changed that much. those expecting a wildly eclectic set that picks up where oiseaux 96-98 left off will be pleased, from the all-too-familiar computer-slengteng of 'vatstep dsp' to his almost somber take on the rolling stones' classic "painted black" to the bombastic gabber-skree of "2nd zero" & "marbles" to the milford-graves-meets-morton-subotnick-meets-squarepusher-in-an-ice-cream-graveyard mulch of "re: when" to the all-rock cover of the trad-gras-och-stenar chestnut "tegenborg". guitars, pianos, breakbeats, garage sale organ, rhodes, clarinet, 288 discrete field recordings, tons of digital processing, max-msp zaniness, and *gasp* even some singing here & there. the cream of the crop... it couldn't have turned out any better...
