no part of it Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 NO PART OF IT label went two years selling only outside of the internet. Now back online and on bandcamp. New releases and some leftovers are here for cyber-impulse dating. WILT and ILLUSION OF SAFETY will have bandcamp albums up with us featuring bonus items soon. I ship in recycled mailers with crazy papers inside of them. This is my discogs seller page. http://www.discogs.com/seller/Arvo/profile https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/fuck-01-from-sequencer-works-volume-two Sequencer Works Volume Two is co-released with 3 other labels, and seems to be the last release on the venerable C.I.P. label, which has now closed its door and shape-shifted into the extremely intimate and specialized BALLAST label. Also taking up the torch are RAINBOW BRIDGE, and FOREVER ESCAPING BOREDOM. The copies arrived today. This is technically a PRE ORDER, although I have the copies on hand and will ship immediately. The download will not be released until October 15, because I want to make sure the other labels have copies at that time. I will leave them to writing a descriptive scrawl on the nature of this material, I am no good at being poetic or even vaguely hyperbolic about my own work. I will just say, as I have said before, I had no idea about experimental music at this time, basically, and I thought what I was doing was totally ground-breaking. I usually tried to start making a song, but it often delineated into me messing with sounds, layering as much as I can, and just letting the machine do its work. The goal was to finish a piece not knowing how I made the sounds that happened. In that context, this is the most musical of the output, the least expansive and freeform. VOLUME THREE is already bubbling, and that will be my most insane material. I feel like every track on this one is very unique and still stands out compared to other instrumental/experimental music, certainly very few people write entire albums on a single sequencer alone, much less spend a decade or more messing with its character traits. The tape includes liner notes, a full color, two sided 4-panel j-card, a two color imprint on black cassettes. 60 minutes. https://nopartofit.bandcamp.com/album/sequencer-works-volume-two https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/arvo-zylo-bryan-lewis-saunders-excerpt-the-temple-of-paradise Bryan Lewis Saunders is a creative juggernaut. He's probably best known for his art book of daily self-portraits on various different mind-altering drugs, if not his huge collection of found photography, his aptitude for surrealistic visual art glossolalia and his "Stand Up Tragedy" Performance Art. He recorded 2 different dreams that took place at the same dream location. He has done dream recordings hundreds of times, including his multi-volume audio book "The Confessor". This was the only time he returned to the same location in his dream, so he put the two audio recordings together, because they also happened to have damn near the same length. Saunders had a severe lung infection at the time, so it's doubly weezy. I did what I could to honor this magical place "The Pleasure Tunnel / The Temple of Paradise", including recording myself reading the transcripts upon waking, and making a soundtrack to it. It comes on pro cassette with 2 colors on clear no liner shells, a full color, double sided 5 panel J card with dream transcript, liner notes from each artist, and is a c40 or so on Chrome tapes. Mastered by Zach Adams. At this time there are 4 copies remaining. Bandcamp download includes dream transcript text file and original recording of Bryan Lewis Saunders' two dream speeches fused together. In the process of digifying things that are still in print since the "off-the-grid" money order/xerox newsletter period for the label, there will be more from Illusion of Safety and WILT, among others, with bonus tracks and other items. https://nopartofit.bandcamp.com/album/the-pleasure-tunnel-the-temple-of-paradise https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/blood-rhythms-side-b-excerpt https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/blood-rhythms-side-a-excerpt I'd feel kinda dirty selling these online, but you can get them from RRRECORDS.com if they still have some left, or Tedium House. http://www.tediumhouse.com/artists/blood-rhythms BLOOD RHYTHMS Assembly LP Co-Released NO PART OF IT/RRRECORDS Directional recordings of Bruce Lamont (Yakuza, Corrections House), Dave Purdie (Silver Abuse, Satan 2000), Brian Klein (The Machinist), Andy Ortmann (Panicsville, Nihilist Records) and Arvo Zylo playing mostly untrained brass and woodwind together inside a meat locker, subsequently cut into hundreds of loops, layered, and transformed into a locomotive wind tunnel. Playable at all speeds (always a good sign). 180 gram vinyl. Unique, handmade covers from Ron Lessard and Arvo Zylo. Hand-stamped and –numbered inserts. Edition of 222. There are some pro-CDRs available. I will need to allow 2 weeks for shipping, I'm currently restocking most of these. Some of these have hardly any representation online. $7 ppd, $17 ppd world. paypal- nopartofit at gmail dot com https://soundcloud.com/bzurke/surrender-remix-overview Illusion of Safety - Surrender Like the title suggests, Illusion of Safety ceased operation in October of 2014. This may very well be the last Illusion of Safety release barring archival material. Illusion of Safety, mainlined by Dan Burke but also having featured numerous luminaries such as Kevin Drumm, Jim O'Rourke, Thymme Jones, and so forth, IOS is widely credited for coming up with the "Industrial Ambient" location. Not to be limited, this project has covered so much ground in the experimental realm, it's hard to imagine a (sub) genre that doesn't have some roots in Illusion of Safety. IOS work in the post 2000s was heavily computer oriented, and then morphed in modular synths and guitar improv/drone, but upon my suggestion, this is a whole whirlwind of high speed cut-up, dark ambient, industrial rhythms, and proggy synth soundscapes. You may want to hold out for the bonus tracks on bandcamp, which will include the video version of this above "remix overview", but if you want it now, I'll be there. I have like 3 copies left of the pro-cassette version. I can get you a download code later. WILT - Nocturnal Requiem Another artist keeping a high mark for quality control, Wilt is the mainstay of James Keeler, who has worked in the realms of Death Industrial, Dark Ambient, Harsh Noise, Musique Concret and just pure full on HORROR ELECTRONICS. I think my first noise show was seeing WILT sitting at a table making Lustmordian/Art Zoyd style ambient musi to an amazing video montage of an abandoned factory, with close ups of oils spills and rust.... you get the picture, and playing a concrete block, as well as some sheet metal and small, rusted objects. WILT has always been an easy choice for me, because Keeler is also an excellent graphic artist. For this one, it's deeply engrossing dark ambient with a metallic sheen, augmented with some machine rhythms driving by in the distance. Dynamic sound spectrum, chip off the old block. Again, you may want to wait for the bandcamp to come, but if you want it now, I will get you a download code later. Arvo Zylo / Dental Work - Velcro Bismol https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/05-velcro-bismol I am working entirely with a wide-ranging slew of sounds by Dental Work, from demented disco to coke snorting, all kinds of madness. The result is constantly compared to Nurse with Wound, and at other times, extremely harsh noise. Deep bass medleys, screwed dirge, splish splash tape loops. I did the cover art, and it was part of a series of collages I did for an art exhibition of the same name. All art is from collaged women's magazines. https://nopartofit.bandcamp.com/album/velcro-bismol Death Factory / Arvo Zylo - WZRD Split There was a time when we thought that WZRD, a chicago freeform radio station staple since 1974, was going to be shut down and taken over by corporate dingleberries, and we put together this split of live performance on WZRD. Death Factory's piece is from 2009, with Mike on synth and guitar, and me on scrap metal scrape percussion. Death Factory has been active since 1988, released on Prison Tatt Records, No Visible Scars, At War With False Noise, etc. He has a true industrial touch that permeates everything he does, but this piece gets into some krautrock territory for sure. My side is from 2006. It is a rhythmic piece, and one of my few improvised pieces on my sequencer to be released. This one calls to mind (according to others), MB, Zoviet France, and NAMANAX. You can hear my side from a playlist on WM Berger's My Castle of Quiet here. https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/49350 https://soundcloud.com/soundgenetic/arvo-zylo-excerpt Arvo Zylo - Saint Street 80 minutes of mostly nuanced and animated harsh noise. There are a couple tracks that have rhythmic elements that would put them into another category, but still something that harsh addicts should like. Cut ups, repetitive porn loops, heavy feedback, drum machines from hell. Arvo Zylo - 333 https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/333-excerpt-1 https://soundcloud.com/nopartofit/333-excerpt-2 This is material made entirely with a YAMAHA RM1X Sequencer. Not necessarily so much noise as it is destroyed presets, malfunctions, and taking an idea all the way through a natural course. There are over 700 copies in existence, I will keep it in print. I will share some notable quotes about the release: "...this recording feels like it had to be made, and it transcends its limited equipment resources as if the music couldn't be stopped." Scott Scholz/Words on Sound/KZUM's "Other Music Radio Show" "First, I was really focused on the intensely constructed sequenced structure - then, today, I was struck by the more organic components that seem to grow around the more rigid parts. It is an intense listen, for sure. " Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy of Habit, Intrinsic Action) "A technicolor nightmare..." "...A cyber punk thrill ride" "...totally assaulting music without actually relinquishing the conventional rules of what music should be."
