nt104 Asyncdrone audio notype netlabels Seven years ago, Asyncdrone (David Turgeon et Kaia Wong, here joined by Napalm Jazz saxophonist Philémon) went in studio to record the follow-up to insurpassable lo-fi slop fest We Who Are Distant. But the contrast couldn’t be bigger: a clean cut production, solid improv, and very different themes from the Asyncdrone we knew. This uncanny result had the effect of them not publishing the recording immediately. Each member went on their own way and, meanwhile, the well-named Demolition Blues aged, and aged very well, too (a common thread among No Type releases, we find). So much so that you could even say the whole thing was in fact recorded seven years too early. Or eight even, because two of these tracks are actually 1999 reconstructions by David Turgeon of various solo recordings. So it is with great joy that we present this very last album from Asyncdrone, while we’re waiting for the first release from Siblings, David and Kaia’s new project. * For full artwork and information please visit <a href="http://www.notype.com/drones/cat.e/nt_104/">the official album page on notype.com</a>. ambient;improv;avant-garde http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 2007-07-22 21:02:12 2007-07-22 20:33:12 dt@electrocd.com david turgeon david turgeon david turgeon david turgeon 2007-07-22 21:15:12 2007-07-22 21:41:30 2007-07-23 19:09:22 2007-08-06 23:32:38 Kaia Wong: electric and acoustic violin, Hammond B3, voice, flute, percussions David Turgeon: Audiomulch, electric guitar, glockenspiel, percussions Philémon: alto saxophone, drums A_dontigny: turntable (3, 5, 6) 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7: Recording and production: Bernard Ouellette, Studio Amadeus, Saint-Antoine (Québec), 2000 3 + 5: Manipulation and bricolage: David Turgeon, Montréal, 1999.
