Shearwater Records is pleased to announce the seventeenth in a series of weekly – more or less – releases in their virtual seven inch “OCF” series.
OCF 17 – Instigate TXA
As you may remember from OCF 11, Hans Grüber is the German guitarist from excellent, under-rated duo Digital Edit. When I was first arranging their Shearwater release, I mentioned in an email to him that I’d been mucking around with that excellent example of vintage emulation that’s now old enough to be vintage in itself, ReBirth. He emailed back to say, coincidentally, that his niece was doing the same thing, passed my address on to her, one thing has lead to another and – hey presto – here are two tracks that she recorded one afternoon especially for your delectation.
It turns out that Grüber’s niece Anita is quite the rock star herself, having been the teenage prodigy guitarist and vocalist in Industrial band Wölfe in Flammen, and in the extreme Noise duo with Maxine Hannke Egbern, unbekanntes Flugobjekt. Their album, ‘Objekte im Spiegel näher erscheinen als das wirkliche Leben’ was one of Purse magazine’s albums of the year.
Instigate TXA is Anita Grüber’s electro solo project, based on her work in Fruity Loops and in ReBirth. Rough and ready beats are matched with 303 squelches from Hell, squeezed through steadily pulsing filters and delays. It reminds me of Crude around the time of ‘Best ov Tekno’ (whose work I was happy to introduce her to) – the same Noise sensibility brought to bear on software intended to make you throw your body around in regular, rhythmic movements. Noisy it may be, but can you dance to it? Shit yes, you really can….
