LOACHFILLET WOLF'S DOWN LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD IN A SERIES OF RETUNED SOUNDTRACKS

SWITCHED-ON GRIMM

SATURDAY 9/29/07

BRUTALLO’S FAIRYTALES, RE-TUNED

Guided by Christine Metropoulos and Mr. Sloumberfugex of Brutallo.com, we go over the river and down through the dense woods of the fabled imagination of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen. Our fantastic escapade is sonically paced by equally animated electronic musicians: Mad Hatter Hans Grusel falls down the rabbit’s hole with Alice in Wonderland, while the terrific (and sometimes terrifying) twosome Tarantism wreak havoc with Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes. With his eerie soundscapes, audio- and video-editing wizard Loachfillet wolfs down Little Red Riding Hood; KRoB lurks through the forest with Hansel and Gretel ; Bran(…)Pos rhapsodizes to Rapunzel; and deft soundscapist HeadBoggle crowns King Midas. *$8.

Organ Standards: Loachfillet & ID M Theftable Split 2xCDR

Here's a new release from the swell folks in Toronto at Beniffer Editions. "Organ Standards" is a double cdr, split with music from id m theft able and Count Loachfillet, two of the strangest sound artists from the underground realm of obscurity. Located on opposite sides of the North American continent, they received a pair of digital documents containing original theatre organ music recorded in the 1950s by a relative of mysterious origins (hence the title: Organ Standards). From the east: id m theft able takes you on a bizarre ride with strange cut ups of looped organ sequences and glitchy rhythmic concoctions. At times, similar to the marching madness of the Residents, yet more lo-fi, with scruffier electronics and the occasional knack for mixing crunk jams and noise. Overall, a top notch blend of concret-organ salad and audio glitchiness. From the west: Loachfillet delves into the possibilities of oddball sound scapes, using the original organ material, noise generators and various field recordings to form a mixture of classic mid-20th century compositions. A three part voyage of extended meditations and well crafted sound collage. Subaquatic music that trails off into strange landscapes where decrepit automatons struggle within a century of rust brought on by that of a Charleheinz Ivehausen nightmare. A potent blend of organic electronics and ghetto synthesis; often resulting in layered compositions and sinister absorption. Carved within is the Antebellum Splendor that slithers through your speakers. This two disc set comes in a beautifully packaged multi-color silk screen booklet; hand printed by the Gastric dudes at Beniffer.

Tones of Mental Distress Eminate From the Worm Peril

Count Loachfillet began with dental architecture in Romania between the rise and fall of the Industrial Revolution in America. After his childhood nightmares evolved into adult gameboard stories, he managed a string of decrepit funeral parlors and slowly began to process sound with chemicals and materials within the nearby mortuary. His first experiments were done during lunch hours with drums of type O-negative blood, the coarse flesh of "lost" patients left in the refrigerator, and miscellaneous bottles and jars in the laboratory storage room. These first experiments were fruitless, bringing nothing but dry sound and very little life to the atmosphere. This all changed when he was locked in the lab over night on his twentieth birthday. There was no food to eat and no clean water, so he indulged in a bit of artists' blood used for the base of the embalmers' make-up and chewed on the carnage of a teenage female brought in that morning. The world began to spin and his inner organs did jumping jacks whilst groaning from right to left, in uneven patterns. Learning about chemistry in the Embalmers' Academy, he began to experiment and mixed the elements with the unused organs of victims brought in the day of that evening. The festering of blood and toxins, diligently strained from the gaseous overflow was more powerful than the finest forms of formaldehyde; which drove him to insanity within his chamber. From then on, he was locked in a tomb about the size of a modest out house, left in a cramped crypt, to produce sound effects for Ed Wood's B-grade films in Transylvania. As there was no formal way of exiting this tomb, his apprentice (The Egret Tepes) devised a vacuum tube system for expedient delivery of sound effects to the masters above ground. This worked for a few minutes until Egret had to co-manage the waste with the deliverables! So much for that vacuum funnel!

Now, it's all just fun and games as he disseminates upon the mire of modern human ears with tones of peril collecting the dry dust of tomb robbery as the centuries tick away.

Out Soon: Count Loachfillet's "Vampire in Orbit!" 3" CD.
A scientific approach to the aural fixations of vampires in outer space.

Pigs in the Ground

A duo consisting of Sharkiface and Loachfillet which began a few years ago, originally called Runny Dumplings. Their fist show was as a quartet, with Ju Suk Reet Meate and Oblivia from Smegma. It soon progressed into something more disgusting and fierce. Inspired by the NecroSearch Society of Colorado, more commonly known as "the Pig People", who bury swine corpses and study the results to discern the whereabouts of clandestine graves. The data gathered from observing hog rot is used in many cases to solve ongoing murder mysteries. When the Pig People, a group of forensic pathologists,
toxicologists, geologists and geophysicists, organized a series of high tech crime investigations, they
became one of the most sought after teams of crime busters in the country. The music of Pigs in the
Ground gives aural life to the ideas behind such a cavalcade of scientific formalities and the morbid
absurdities it involves. The dark rattle of reality and sex appeal eminates through the musical structure
created by these two. Their debut release, entitled "Serum Feast", brings forth a collection of scorched
electronics and grim industrial soundscapes. It's an atmospheric feast of dark, distorted doom, wrapped in
a cavernous cyst. Imagine a pile of dried bones lodged far underground slowly boiling to the surface, with
pulsations of indigestible mucous and dust. Exposed to dry earth, with dirt settling around your head, you
sink into a moist grave, the smoldering catacombs of dissolution.

Pigs in the Ground will embark on a Dirty South / East Coast tour in August; accompanied, in part by Leslie Keffer.

Psicologicos Traumas on KFJC 01 | 06

Psicologicos Traumas started as a trio in the wee hours of January 29th, 2006, when cosmic apparitions become prevelent in Loachfillet's Worm Hole of West Oakland, California. The initial inkling of sound transpired from magnetic artifacts and kinetic mind links, generated by Joseph Hammer (Dinosaurs With Horns/Solid Eye), Albert Ortega (Slujun/Klaxon Hooves/Lopey Snapes) and Loachfillet (Mummers (Eype)/Pigs in the Ground/Diatric Puds & The Blobettes/Klaxon Hooves). From point to point, we process each others' sound through sources of our disgust and bring forth a single organism of psychological trauma. The audio result is much like the reaction a brain has when it encounters the fluids of a high grade stimulant.

The photos above depict a quartet with Ecomorti. This later became the basis of the initial trio, which then became the manifold to the current quartet. Since March, 2006 (Brooklyn, NY), the group includes Mitchell Brown aka Professor Cantaloupe.

There is a split LP with Replicock (Oblivia & Sharkiface, soon to be renamed) in the works for Anarchy Moon records,
and a full length cdr slated for release this summer by Fish Pies from the initiation recording sessions in January 2006. A full length LP is soon to follow. Thanks to Ryan Peterson, Dan Kletter and Lars Rover for the fun times in The Pit
