06/11/05
- This is a review of last nights show in Salem, Oregon: IDX1274 was lurking
around the whole show incognito, with a camoflauge cloth across his face.
Just before he began he donned a fencing mask with a skull painted on it,
which he announced used to be worn by the drummer of Funkadelic. The set
began with some ritualistic (?) smashing of glass-framed pictures of nuns
and maybe Mary or Jesus or something. There was a strobe light and a tv
set playing an alfred hitchcock movie. I believe there were contact mics
on the tv, a casette 4 track was involved somehow, possibly recording (?),
some pedals, various power tools, and a metal grinder. He stuck well-worn
license plates into the grinder, and eventually a mic got stuck up in there
as well, causing sparks to fly and loud noises resulted. There was an acrid,
burning smell after while. He took a thick piece of steel pipe or something
and duct-taped a mic inside of it. This he threw into the tube of the tv
set. Kaboom! Then in a rage he grabbed a heavy axe and started chopping
the tv set to bits. The crowd moved back a bit, but it was a small space
so there was really nowhere to go. Then he laid into it with a chainsaw,
and cut it until the chain broke. There was some nice pedal work in there,
and finally a metal grinder coda. The last sound heard was the grinder
ever so gradually slowing down to a dead stop, and that was the end. There
was debris and glass and metal things strewn all over.. it looked like
a bomb had gone off in there. The door opened to get some fresh air, and
Ben-David's dad walked in to survey the damage. Nkondi told him, "It's
probably just as well you weren't here for this one...."

by emailing potential customers which is how they have been moving their
impressive catalog so far. The label is home to noise and experimental
artists: Jimmy
McCullough (also its founder and CEO), Tapes
Vs. Ten, 731,
Teruo
Fujimoto & WTFP
so far and at this time has a catalog of 13 releases and a CD
Sampler that collects the first 12 CD releases, 1 track each per
release. About every 15 releases Rompida
will release a Sampler
which is sold at a lower cost to the end user for experimentation. All
already cheap prices include postage in USA and Canada & discounts
can be obtained by buying multiple releases or bulk lots. After the web
site is up and running for Rompida

every time he posts them!!) & IDX1274

and please drop them a line to see about checking out some of their artists
today.
05/01/03
- IDX1274 receives a package from long lost friend, artist & label
head of GREL
RECORDS, of one of the most original small labels IDX1274 has found
to date, containing several past releases each with deluxe art packaging
and released in limited editions!! All the items were a pleasure to the
ear and cover genres from hard core noise to minimalism and all points
in between. The best part of receiving the package though is that I can
now be back in touch with a brother with whom I had been working on a Vs.
project. The tracks were basically all but done when we lost contact. IDX1274
was doing some final nit picky editing. IDX1274 hopes that with GREL
RECORDS help the IDX1274 vs snma project will see the light
of day, perhaps in a deluxe multi cassette edition or a CD-R / Tape combo
or something.... And of course in a special deluxe package the likes of
which has been mentioned (one release IDX1274 got came sewn into a piece
of an uncle's shirt. A hem ripper was needed to get in.)
04/25-26-27/03-
IDX1274 hits the studio for a session of remixes using the 4 CD set of
short wave radio transmissions of "numbers" stations called "The Conet
Project" as source material. IDX1274 is using this time to also develop
a set of live material for some possible small art gigs in the future.
The session spawned several nice tracks all recorded live in the studio
and may be released on IDX1274's own 13 Miles Out Records.
04/19/03-
I have finished work on two new longer tracks, both of which are drastically
different from one another. The first new track is entitled "For Morton
Feldman (A Christian Wolff Remix)" and uses all the Christian Wolff
material combined and remixed into a Magnum Opus that captures the beauty
and solitude that the original pieces instilled while taking the listener
to a totally different dream world that Morton never envisioned for the
listener. The second new piece, just finished today, is a super hard-core
noisefest entitled "Robot Orgy Clusterfuck". The piece is 34 minutes
and explores the adventures of a shy, self conscious robot who is introduced
into the world of orgies, group sex and swinging. Follow our hero as he
first watches and later joins in the carnal action of the "Robot Orgy
Clusterfuck". Both of these pieces will be available in my files shares
online as of today.
04/15/03
- Due to volume of loose tracks not on any CD projects or concepts I have
added today a "Songography"
page which tracks each and every piece giving proper time and titles
as well as on what releases it can be found or where it was/is available
for download. This way files can be checked for completeness and proper
tagging by end listeners. Also provided is the month and year in which
each piece was recorded so a sense of time frame can be achieved. Perhaps
in the future a page listing the sound sources for each track would be
a nice addition to the site......?
