Harm
Stryker - s/t 3" CDr
Harm Stryker is Kelly Norse and Kenneth Yates
Harm
Stryker's latest s/t 3" CDr for PG is music for condemned, boarded
up and forgotten spaces. Part requiem for our architectural history,
part vitriol-fueled sound in opposition to the box stores, condominiums,
and gentrified, cookie cutter housing taking it's place. The single
track begins as a gentle drone that quickly builds to glitched
out swatches of sonic energy that sway and move with a fluidity
and grace that is Harm Stryker's signature.
This limited release for PG is a one time pressing of 100 sale
copies, 10 promotional copies.
“This is a fully-realized,
borderline epic piece comprising electronic drones, ambience, noise,
and knob-twiddlling euphoria. Never too over-the-top or understated,
the duo function as close to a single mind as you could ever hope
to achieve in this genre - the soundscapes one will lay out always
compliment what the other is doing to perfection, weaving and melding
together in sublime fashion.” - Outer Space Gamelan
“ highly dynamic electronic drone overlaid
with colourful barbs.” -The Sound Projector (UK)
“Textured noises and a cut-up approach to
sonic architecture are the cornerstones of the duo's aesthetic
-- they eschew overly harsh noises, for the most part, in favor
of urban sound bites and glitch-laden noises, assembling the pieces
in layers that flow freely in terms of texture and density. Over
the full length of the piece, they incorporate a number of extremely
different and interesting sounds, including screechy tape manipulation,
found sound, and processed electronics -- it all adds up in a striking
way, with an evolution of sound that remains vital and interesting
right up to the unexpected ending.” -Dead Angel
