Just got word from Roger about this. To clarify, the artwork has nothing to do with the "concept" of the release. I'm not interested in Giallo or "dark" imagery to go with my sounds, so that explains the minimalism in my cover artwork.

Tromba "Juracán"

2011-03-20T18:45:00.003-04:00

Tromba "Juracán" 2xCDR

Two discs of heavy static harsh noise inspired by tropical storms/hurricanes and caribbean weather phenomenom. The music is spread over four long tracks, dynamic visual jags are intact. These are fiercely assembled waves of HN/HNW with abrupt shifts and stretches. Created by the man who is also known for his work as "Cornucopia", this is a monolith work of harsh noise achievement. It also marks the true return of my label Enemata Productions after battling mental illness and crisis for the past two years.format: locally duplicated and printed double cdr (on disc print) package in jewel case with b&w artwork.

Edition: 30 copies, not limited

I have submitted a 54 minute track to The Infinity Project series which is upcoming from Sweet Solitude Records from the UK. This series will feature uniform artwork and the label has asked artists to offer their interpretations of what is usually called Ambient Harsh Noise Wall or Minimal HNW which exhibit's a different form or restraint than non-changing HNW. There will be various releases from artists such as Å, VARGRWULF and GLUTTONESS.

Ambient/Minimal HNW is a concept that I'd like to explore further. As it offers a way forward for the genre. The concept is not yet well defined, so it presents an exciting opportunity for debate and collective development of HNW as a genre. Likewise, VOMIR's interest in acoustic walls, developed without effects pedals and overdubbing, will probably open a door for others to explore wall making with unlikely sound sources.

Juracán 2xCDR coming soon...

ENEMATA PRODUCTIONS will be releasing the first TROMBA output. Here's what they have to say about it:

Tromba - Juracan (2 cdr set in standard jewel case)

"Heavy walls of sound inspired by tropical weather and the Caribbean, from the talented sound artist behind the project "Cornucopia". This is among the best static noise works I've heard from anyone and it has plenty of length and shifts."

I will mostly be creating long form works, which I believe is best for HNW material.

Brief Musings On HNW

Harsh Noise Wall is what I imagined Noise Music was like back when I first read about it in nineties on Joe Roemer's "The Current State of American Noise" article on Resound Magazine. It was the first time I heard about something called Noise and Roemer's descriptions were the seed to my current noise obsession. It was also the first time I read about names like The Haters, The Rita, Woe Is Me, etc... and just tried to imagine what that sounded like in those pre-internet days (at least for me).

The current backlash into Harshness in sound I believe is a direct response to more "popular" noise. Not necessarily in a confrontational sense, but just getting back to the roots (so to speak) of noise. The monolithic, destructive, offensive, enormous wall of sound that can be best experienced live. In person. Back in 2007 I played a show in Los Angeles and Rale & Monsturo played a collaborative set which was one of the best listening experiences I've had. Total control of a dense wall of noise. A physical entity which you could actually feel all over. It was amazing.

Anyway, about Woe Is Me... I need to go and dig up that "Underground USA" tape. It's in here somewhere...
