During the Fall of 2010, <a href="http://yorkfactorycomplaint.tumblr.com/">York Factory Complaint</a> (a quartet comprised of Michael Berdan, Ryan Martin, Theresa Smith and Michael Yaniro) & Hoor-paar-Kraat teamed up for a few in-studio recording sessions. This C30, comprised of two side-long tracks, houses the fruits of their collective labors. Neither resembling the back catalog of <a href="http://yorkfactorycomplaint.tumblr.com/">York Factory Complaint</a> or Hoor-paar-Kraat, the work presented here, is a beast all its own. Harkening back to old school industrial music, these tracks are raw, primal, loud, looping, plodding and, at times, even beat oriented.<br />
<br />
Packaged by hand, true to form of Goat-Eater Arts. Each piece is uniquely constructed and consecrated by Anthony Mangicapra.<br />
<br />
These cassettes are $6, plus shipping, and can be had at the <a href="http://goateaterarts.bigcartel.com/">Goat-Eater Arts web store</a>.<br />
<br />
The release of Persistence in Mourning "A Tongue of Bone" has seen a slight delay and should be available with the next batch of Goat-Eater releases,<br />

As always, thank you so much for your continued support.<br />

Over the years we have brought you a variety of different sounds, and will continue to do so for as long as we are able.<br />
<br />
I don't like hardcore music<br />
Growing up in south Florida and being around that macho bullshit culture, where the guy who adheres to the stereotype is somehow deemed the alpha dog for being the most individual, just took it right out of me. Still, many of my close friends, who'd turned me on to a lot of music that I may not have otherwise heard, were deeply immersed in the heart of the hardcore scene. As a result of this, I went to quite a few hardcore shows and I found that I really liked some of the bands that were performing. In that genre of music, as with many other movements, there were always those musicians who strove to do something different and maybe their pent up anger, that I could only appreciate when I was equally as young and angry got them there a little faster than others around them. There certainly was a lot more diversity in the angry straight-edge hardcore scene than there was with the Pacific North West stoner grunge bands. I wonder why? Even though I liked a few hardcore for a little while, I haven't paid much attention to any bands of a similar ilk in quite a long time.<br />

When Emmanuel gave me the tracks by Orlando, FL trio Weeks, I was reminded of all of the reasons that I did like hardcore. The driving aggression of filth coated guitars that sound like they're about to get sick on themselves, drums that make me feel like beating my head against the wall until it turns to jelly and a vocalist who often sounds like he's singing while sprinting full-speed ahead, were many of the reasons that I once loved hardcore. To hear a band making this kind of music, without back pedaling into an over saturated past, is a real treat. This tape is short and sweet like a dwarf prostitute holding a box of chocolate covered amyl nitrate poppers. This is great, youthful, forward thinking music by a group of musicians we hope to hear more from in the future.<br />

Here's what R&L had to say about it.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Most recently, Anthony Mangicapra has expanded his studies with his projected vision as Hoor-paar-Kraat, taking on a subtle form of layered density and broken theater to what some would call a step into the hypnagogic unknown. Always incorporating a sense of textural beauty found in everyday objects, each piece uses its own sculpted resonance that only HpK can bring out into the open for us, as listeners, to interpret. Typically releasing his recordings through his own imprint, Goat Eater Arts, and only on select occasion does HpK release compositions on outside labels. With the release of Elbow Drops Effortlessly, HpK encompasses an additional contribution by artist Ryan Lamm along side Mangicapra, focusing on taking this endeavor to a more mature, dream-like state.</blockquote><br />
As I have been mentioning, in pervious posts, there are several new releases on the horizon. Goat-Eater will be releasing the next <a href="http://www.myspace.com/persistenceinmourning1">Persistence in Mourning</a> CD as well as a collaborative release between The <a href="http://www.myspace.com/yorkfactorycomplaint">York Factory Complaint</a> and Hoor-paar-Kraat. This release came about after I was asked to assist in the recording and engineering of the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/yorkfactorycomplaint">York Factory Complaint</a> release, destined for <a href="http://www.hansonrecords.net/">Hanson Records</a>.<br />
<br />
I have decided to make available some of my more recent visual works. Should you be interested in a list of images and prices, please feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:AnthonyMangicapra@gmail.com">AnthonyMangicapra ((@)) gmail ((.)) com</a><br />
<br />
More news will come in the very near future. I thank you all for your continued love and support, over the years.<br />

<br />
Much has happened since I last posted.<br />
There was the first live performance of Hoor-paar-Kraat in five years and it was broadcast, thanks to Wm. Berger, and his Castle of Quiet, on WFMU, July 30th. WFMU is a truly unique, free-form radio station, run by individuals who are truly passionate about what they do. Imagine guys who figured out a way to make mix tapes for all of you, and you'll begin to understand the kind of people behind this show.<br />
The set can still be heard on <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2010/08/midnight-at-the-opet-hoorpaarkraat-on-my-castle-of-quiet-7282010.html">WFMU Beware of the Blog</a><br />
<br />
The release of the Hoor-paar-Kraat / Psychic Fare C32 was also something which I neglected to plug. There are some copies available from the Goat-Eater Store.<br />
<br />
Coming up sooner than later are releases by Black Ghost (paranormal forest psych), Kama Rupa (sheer will in the form of a wave) and Persistence in Mourning (back-woods post-doom).<br />
<br />
I will also be selling some paintings and drawings to fund future Goat-Eater releases, in the very near future. Do not hesitate to contact me about acquiring original artworks.<br />

Also in the wings, is the new Hoor-paar-Kraat release on <a href="http://www.peasantmagik.net/">Peasant Magik</a>. Handy Feet is a C20, comprised of two sidelong tracks, released in an edition of 100 copies with a special, artists edition being released in an edition of 15 copies. Each of the artist editions come with a hand painted 45 in a beautiful 7" x 7" box.<br />

Our friends at <a href="http://www.black-horizons.com/">Black Horizons</a> will be issuing a Hoor-paar-Kraat C20 called "Coreah". This should be out within a couple of months and, as with all <a href="http://www.black-horizons.com/">Black Horizons</a> tapes, it should be beautiful. This particular tape is meant to reflect the horrors of a little known condition by the name of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington%27s_disease">Huntington's Coreah</a>. <br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1091876656"><br />
</a><br />
<a href="http://acidcasualtyproductions.blogspot.com/">Acid Casualty Productions</a> will also be re-releasing Asha-Dasha as a C60, in an edition of 100. This music was previously issued as a CDr on Goat-Eater Arts, in a run of 44 copies, way back in 2005. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQ20m4QMAUx_HXMJrQbSAH3M4N8RWg7B8qQDPYo8GHFEW8zqBnkSr_gzsKgebUKnDShyNr-7rRD1C8X8RFly2UYh6ksYkAxSx5mRZGLmYaEhBEqxVxC2ES2meXaVMUsoriyBcK-EWQpE/s1600/-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqQ20m4QMAUx_HXMJrQbSAH3M4N8RWg7B8qQDPYo8GHFEW8zqBnkSr_gzsKgebUKnDShyNr-7rRD1C8X8RFly2UYh6ksYkAxSx5mRZGLmYaEhBEqxVxC2ES2meXaVMUsoriyBcK-EWQpE/s200/-2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

This compilation will include The Goslings, Hoor-paar-Kraat, Rat Bastard, Kenny Millions, Last, Black Jail, Rauh, Nuclear II, Lesson Lesson Lessen Relearn, Destructive Bodies, Drowning The Virgin Silence & Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, Goat-Eater has two new tapes and one CDr in the works. Hoor-paar-Kraat "The Trunk Remains Unmoved" C20 and the Hoor-paar-Kraat/Psychic Fare split C32 are both approaching completion. The CDr is the Persistence in Mourning "A Tongue of Bone" release that we've been so patiently awaiting. Expect this filth covered gem in about another month.<br />

That's all for the time being.<br />

New things are coming down the pipe, and with the little bit of downtime that I have, I figured it's a good time to tell you both about it.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>First, if you ordered the last two Goat Eater releases by Fecalove & Tim the Band, your order is off to the post just as soon as I have a day off.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Coming up soon are two more contrasting releases. This time we're treading into doom territory. Even though I swore that I'd never release anything metal, I'm going back on my word because this album is just so damn good. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/persistenceinmourning1">Persistence in Mourning</a> will be releasing <b>"A Tongue of Bone"</b> on Goat Eater and I'm very pleased to say that It is a grim and disgusting chunk of sound that will hit you in the face like a brick covered in shit. As usual, there will be 93 copies made.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Going completely in the other direction, <b>"Dear Dad"</b> by <a href="http://www.nszcz.com/">Nicholas Szczepanik</a> is, in my opinion, a drone masterpiece. This will be a split label release with <a href="http://www.bassesfrequences.org/">Basses Frequences</a> of France and will be in an edition of 200 copies. </div><div><br />
</div><div>In addition to this, we have two tapes coming out. I'll apologize in advance for them being very limited but we just didn't feel that they warranted a larger release, at this time. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The first tape is a C32 split with our very close friends of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">The Psychic Fare</a>. I suggest checking out their latest release "Wet Wire. For me, this band is the true embodiment of contemporary psychedelia but, being from Humboldt County, they'd surly have an advantage over most. Some of you might remember <b>Bandon Taylor</b> and <b>Brian Fulmer</b> from one of the very first <b>Holy Mountain</b> releases by <b>Plague Lounge</b>, or maybe you don't. The Hoor-paar-Kraat track is straight absurdity, with no apologies for a lack of lucidity. Right now these are being dubbed, by hand. We're looking at an edition of around 50. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The second, also a C32 tape, is a very special Hoor-paar-Kraat release, made to celebrate the life of someone no longer with us. <b>"For Carroll"</b> is comprised of two ultra minimal, barely there, pieces of sound. We will be releasing this in a much smaller edition of around 20 or so. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Of course it goes without saying that all of these will be hand packaged by me. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The <b>"Eureka Tapes" (The Complete Recordings)</b> have been mastered by <b>Kris Lapke</b> (<b>Alberech</b> & <b>Ash Pool</b>) and will be on their way to Joe at <a href="http://small-doses.com/">Small-Doses</a> and Jerome at <a href="http://www.bassesfrequences.org/">Basses Frequences</a>, as they are the fine folks who will be releasing the music as a 2CD set. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I think that's all I have to tell, at this time.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Thanks, both of you, for stopping by.</div><div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br />
</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Fecalove - Forever Young</b> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Italy's one-man, debauchery laden, masturbating disaster has come back to Goat Eater for his second full length release. Fecalove's signature cut up junk noise has only gotten better with age. This is what I'd imagine it would sound like to over-dose on viagra, cialis, levitra and vodka martinis. The usual squalling feedback and in-the-red amplified implements are all there but this release is punctuated by tense silences, off kilter tape and electronic manipulations, tortured and effects laden vocals and bass heavy rumblings. I'm not sure that I'd be comfortable saying that Nicola Vinciguerra has matured but he has most definitely grown into something new and that something is, as usual, disgusting. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Tim the Band - Thank You Roland</b> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">...and now for something completely different. Goat Eater has never issued anything quite so musical, until now. Tim the Band is a two piece, multi instrumental jazz outfit, that runs the gamut from free jazz to old standards to fusion and beyond. Dan Pearson and Chris Olsen have stripped down their usual truck load of instruments to just a hand-full of saxophones; soprano, tenor and baritone along with a few loop stations to create this beautiful invocation to the late, great Rashaan Roland Kirk. Loops of saxophone build into something more and more interesting as time goes by. This three track CD continues to transform and will most assuredly transfix the listener. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Each CD is $11, postage paid, anywhere in the US. $12 to Canada and $14 for the rest of the world. Get both of them for $18, postage paid in the US. $19 to Canada and $21 for the rest of the world. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Both CDs are pro pressed and printed CDrs, packaged in the usual Goat Eater Arts style, with every attention paid to detail.

After an exhibit in Andrew's Art Museum NC we're happy to show this work to an entirely new crowd and we couldn't have hoped for a better environment in which to do it. <br /><br />I won't wax poetic about the place because my praise for this establishment and it's staff would never end.<br />I'll just say this; if you're in Brooklyn on July 30th and you're looking for the most interesting thing you could do or see, come to Roots Cafe on Fifth Ave and 18th St. This night in particular will feature the same audio treatment as both the previous openings. The night will begin with the Hoor-paar-Kraat soundtrack to the exhibit "Taxonomy of Divine Organisms" but the similarity ends there. The remainder of the evening will be at the hands of such built in talents as owner Jamey Hamm and recent Oregon refugee Ryan Lamm. Also, there's some guy named Johnny. I don't know his last name but he goes by "The Johns" and he's amazing. Goat Eater will be releasing a tape of his in the future but I'll talk more about that later.<br /><br />For now, just be there and bring your own bottle. While you're at it bring two; one of them being for me.<br /><br />I O Pan<br />AnthonyThe Goat Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929822837218915577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763635099100211460.post-5808461316198007022009-06-13T18:48:00.000-07:002009-06-15T18:39:52.662-07:00Do You Like Rabbits?

Be sure to check out his other bands <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thegraygirls">The Gray Girls</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mthrsky">MÖTHERSKY</a>. As with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/drowningthevirginsilence">Drowning the Virgin Silence</a> all of Richard's musical out put is fantastic. <br /><br />I'd also like to thank <a href="http://www.myspace.com/duanejealousy">Duane Hosein</a> for providing the artwork for <span style="font-style:italic;">A Hare of the Table that Pet You</span>. Duane will be relocating to New York within the next few weeks and is currently in the process of selling many of his beautiful paintings and drawings to fund his move as well as his addiction to Ethiopian coffee and allergy medication. If you're at all a fan of obsessive compulsive illustration then check out his work and, if you feel so inclined, buy a piece. <br /><br />In the future of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Goat Eater Arts</span> expect to see releases from <a href="http://myspace.com/persistenceinmourning1">Persistence in Mourning</a>, <a href="http://myspace.com/naszczepanik">Nicholas Szczepanik</a>, <a href="http://myspace.com/fecalove">Fecalove</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Psychic Fare</a>.<br /><br />Thanks again to all of you who've continued to support us throughout the years and keep your wallets handy for Goat Eater Arts hand guns, cock rings, healthy white babies and new strains of incurable STDs.<br /><br />I O Pan<br />Antony Mangicapra and the Goat Eater FamilyThe Goat Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929822837218915577noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763635099100211460.post-84114046127971127912009-05-11T08:55:00.000-07:002009-05-11T08:59:33.857-07:00Wild and Hairy Tables on Tape<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCM2ROgnDkGEettragX-5DUeceAprh0_HCm3ftv1xj_t7P2yQ8F0CwGCmlT9l3qNQeiaEUQ6xmoRMFBvURXfTQhyvq-qZ2tAR-NP7sG3Jo34725C3DDNOYhSddKwjTM7DQeakuxpgsRQo/s1600-h/AntDevil.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCM2ROgnDkGEettragX-5DUeceAprh0_HCm3ftv1xj_t7P2yQ8F0CwGCmlT9l3qNQeiaEUQ6xmoRMFBvURXfTQhyvq-qZ2tAR-NP7sG3Jo34725C3DDNOYhSddKwjTM7DQeakuxpgsRQo/s320/AntDevil.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334595649968488018" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Small update.<br />Two tapes going off to press in a matter of days.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hoor-paar-Kraat/Drowing the Virgin Silence "A Hare of the Table that Pet You"</span> C12<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hoor-paar-Kraat "A Wild Country & A Waning Moon"</span> C30<br /><br />"A Hare of the Table that Pet You" sees HpK taking a very cartoonish approach. Think about the scenes in those old Loony Tunes episodes where Bugs Bunny gets trashed and can't do anything but stumble and hiccup and you've begun to get an idea. DtVS, on the other hand, tosses a gauntlet into the pop arena with a song that's sure to be a smash hit in the furry/plushie sex parties, for years to come. <br /><br />"A Wild Country & A Waning Moon" is two tracks of tape and acoustic comedic-nightmare. I really don't know what else to say about it.<br /><br />Both tapes will be made in editions of 100 copies.<br /><br />Coming up later this year, Goat Eater Arts will be releasing music by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Nicholas Szczepanik</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dan Pearson</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Persistence in Mourning</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Cian Nugent</span> & <span style="font-weight:bold;">Fecalove</span>.

For now, be patient as they'll definitely be worth the wait.<br /><br />Also in the pipes is Goat Eater's foray into the world of tapes beginning with two we're sure you'll enjoy.<br />Both releases will be splits between Hoor-paar-Kraat and another artist. <br /><br />First will be the long overdue split between HpK and long time friend and collaborator Richard Vergez also known under the moniker of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/drowningthevirginsilence">Drowning the Virgin Silence</a>. Both tracks on this split clock in at just over 5 minutes and explore the sillier, more whimsical side of each artist, showing that we don't always take everything so seriously. It is bound to delight and confound the listener and may even be our first shot at pop stardom.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/drowningthevirginsilence">Drowning the Virgin Silence</a> has a new release available. "Under the Sulfur Sky" has just been released by <a href="http://www.reverbworship.com">Reverb Worship</a>. Go there to pick it up and have a look at the many other great releases they have in stock.<br /><br />Second is a split with Eureka, California's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Psychic Fare</a>, headed up by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Damaged Restrooms</a> label founder, and ex drummer of the now defunct Plague Lounge, Bandon Taylor. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Psychic Fare</a> embodies the true meaning of psychedelia and we're proud as hell to be working along side them as they're an incredibly inventive band and wonderful people, to boot.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Psychic Fare</a> is in the process of releasing their second full length, "Wet Wire" a follow up to their debut "The Slow Drag", on their own imprint <a href="http://www.myspace.com/damagedrestrooms">Damaged Restrooms</a>. Having received an advance copy, we can say, without doubt, that this is a truly captivating and mind blowing experience and we at Goat Eater encourage you to check it out.<br /><br />Also in the works is the ultimate release of "The Eureka Tapes" (The Complete Recordings) to be issued as a joint effort between <a href="http://small-doses.com/">Small-Doses</a> & <a href="http://www.bassesfrequences.org/">Basses Frequences</a>. This 2 CD set will re-release all eighteen tracks, from the three volumes of the Eureka Tapes; "<span style="font-weight:bold;">A Whisper in the Sow's Ear</span>", "<span style="font-weight:bold;">Graduating from Clocks to Watches</span>", "<span style="font-weight:bold;">The Taxonomy of Divine Organisms</span>" as well as previously unreleased and scarcely available tracks recorded during the same sessions. At this time, this release is still in the planning phases.<br /><br />That's all for now. Until next time; be just and if you can't be just then be arbitrary.<br /><br />I O Pan<br />A.

a loud, vaguely digital, sputtering drone, which clears out for a new droning wave, seeming to emanate from some of the pounding in the dark recesses. that will then get broken down wonderfully into fractured segments which swoop into self's forefront. after those will pass, i can hear that pattern, in its unmodified form, lurking in the backdrop. shortly past the halfway point there will be a few calm minutes where nothing extraneous is happening to the track's layered central rhythm, though there will come one more passage of commotion, which flashes by, and then it's placid for the remainder.<br /><br />graduating from clocks to watches is weird, to say the least. kind of creepy, too. it's also really fucking good. even at its oddest peaks, never did hoor-paar-kraat abandon a semblance of structure, either through rhythm or a general repetitive (and pleasing) melodic tone, which kept their work fairly grounded when it could've easily strayed into (deep) left field abstractness. it also helped that the weirdness never seemed forced, i couldn't pick up on an intentionally dark slant, but the chilling aura was certainly felt at times. not to mention that the sum of what they were doing appeared to have at least a modicum of original thought behind it, which is always great (when it works).</blockquote>The Goat Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929822837218915577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763635099100211460.post-89614461826364902562009-03-08T11:18:00.000-07:002009-03-08T11:27:34.710-07:00Release the Press<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvAH7KyFfgBsDhzSOrxrsPI7qABrv-44ezAHn-jnKVdp-ljkDjMEZj3xS1csX5-bgekgJ1-89CubykWknWGp0ja_MPE6LhEQVQC53KYY0p5pfThwhHb0-DP1qNQ8_pPZt6pAz3uxhiks/s1600-h/above-and-below.gif"><img style="float:left;

This collection of new work will open at the Costa Mesa gallery on Saturday March 21, 2009, from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM. The exhibition will run through May 2, 2009. <br /><br />The season surrounding the equinox is a time where darkness and light have equal times to co-exist. Artist’s <span style="font-weight:bold;">Duane Hosein</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Anthony Mangicapra</span> have taken the charge and created an exhibition worthy of this time of change and hope. Above and Below is an exhibition where each artist has researched the underlying concepts of heaven and hell and put those ideas to canvas, paper, and music. <br /><br />Trinidad born Florida artist Duane Hosein’s pen and ink works are a testament to his mastery and control. “I approach every piece with the fervor of an iron-fisted dictator” Hosein admits, “It is all about the detail. It is tedious, but therapeutic”. His work for Above and Below is the culmination of research into different religious and cultural interpretations of hell and the creatures and experiences that inhabit the demonic region. <br /><br />New York artist Anthony Mangicapra’s canvases are dedicated to the heavens for this exhibition. After extensive research into canonical, occult, theosophical, and ancient texts, Mangicapra’s works portray the divine as no other artist could capture. “I want to create beauty” Mangicapra says, “but I can’t control that. I am just a conduit for ideas”. <br /><br />To accompany the artwork, both artists have combined to create a soundtrack under <span style="font-weight:bold;">Hoor-paar-Kraat</span> to be released by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Goat Eater Arts</span> in concurrence with the exhibition. Mangicapra describes the experience as “painting with sound”, where everyday sounds lose their original qualities and re-emerge manipulated into a new language of meanings. <br /><br />Background on <a href="http://boxboxbox.com">The Box gallery</a> <br />The Box gallery is a collaboration between curator and director <span style="font-weight:bold;">Johnny Sampson</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Splitends</span> owner and stylist <span style="font-weight:bold;">Christopher Hall</span>.

No matter the personnel though, the unit has consistently pushed at the boundaries between drone, noise and musique concrète to masterful effect. Here, Mangicapra teams up with four cohorts and comes up with a beautifully consistent and thematically realized piece. That it has been printed in a relatively large run (for this sort of release anyway...) of 200 is good news, but unfortunately not so good that anyone who wants one can afford to bide their time should they desire a copy. Such is the tape world I suppose; c'est la vie.<br /><br />Consistent with the standard working mode of the band, this release tip-toes around the darker precipices of its various genre dabblings without ever submerging into total blackness. Spread across the six lengthy tracks are thick and tactile dronescapes, disturbed vocal babblings, and creepy guitar dirges atop squawking synthesizer cries. This dark and mysterious atmosphere, consistent with the group's enigmatic existence, is hardly a dip in the relatively safe waters of the overdone doom and gloom rock pursued by so many though; Hoor-paar-Kraat merely use this as a starting point from which to uncover deeper pockets of mystery. That they never tell their listener exactly how to feel is one of the great--and ultimately frightening--strengths they display.<br /><br />Each track here more or less represents a single approach, and the patience exhibited in working within those specific and relatively limited fields makes each piece its own whole without becoming so cluttered as to take away from the album's sense of focus. The first side, for example, opens with "Lacking a Cast Shadow," a slow and smooth drone buildup that shimmers with gray stillness as swathes of air bellow beneath scratching claws and tiny bells. Nearly unmoving, the piece serves as a palette cleanser, easing the listener into the decidedly more elusive and eerie version of bleak pursued on "Habit and the Smooth Sailing of the Psyche." That this too finds its groove, opting for odd tape clatterings and distant, crawling gamelan moves that keep the descending trajectory of the album as restrained and patient as possible.<br /><br />If the first side of the tape is the journey downward—especially with the closing "departure of the Icicle Man" and its dark and knotty drone loops—then the second side is the arrival and subsequent blind exploration of that realm. "Relics of the Inheritance" features odd guitar string tuggings and hollowed out verbal ramblings that leave little to grasp on to. That the group is willing to do so is wholly unsettling, and remarkably effective as a logical progression from the hints of this amorphous approach presented on the first side.<br /><br />Perhaps the most oblique and overtly gloomy material on the tape is found on "The Broken windows of a Fertile World," whose bird calls and playground chatter hover menacingly under austere guitar explorations. This is a sparse and dismal landscape indeed, but Hoor-paar-Kraat handles it as delicately as it does everything here; the piece never erupts with anything near a climax, instead floating with delicate hostility whose unending patience grinds any safety net to a pulp, leaving you fully unsuspecting of the harsh blasts of static din that erupt on the closing "The Self is an Onion-Self."<br /><br />The keen sense of timing and clear division between approaches on each side marks the basement academicism of the release. While many artists working in this vein achieve liftoff with nearly every track, it is refreshing to hear a unit at work that understands the power of sonic confinement and the dire connotations of time. While the title may suggest a technological move forward, it also means that the clock is always present, counting down the hours one by one to be monitored at your convenience. And this is just the sort of dark momentum forged from track to track as this fully realized outing unfolds."The Goat Eaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929822837218915577noreply@blogger.com0
