KSV: Eight New Releases!
(Amended 27 Sept / 13 Oct 09.)
Hello Droogies!
Since late August, Karl and I have been working round the clock to smuggle a cache of degenerate skullfuckery directly to your mom's backdoor. Just a few minutes ago we jumped the gate, dropped off the rucksack, ripped away our fake moustaches, exchanged our doctored Bolivian passports for dual Iranian/Israeli documents, and took the nearest photon accelerator back to HQ for this debriefing. Ready?
KSV 025 VA - Karl Schmidt Verlag: Was du nicht wissen wolltest... (2xCD)
The label's first 25 releases fused, unmercifully chopped at odd angles, then sewn back together again. Brain-blowing ur-cacophony, six months in the unmaking.
Disc One
101 Untwists Chastened Willows (70:27)
Disc Two
201 Hatch Midst Milk Storm (76:59)
Edited, mixed and produced by Tom Smith for KSV.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
Edition of 15.
--
KSV 045 Eugene Chadbourne - Live, Silke Arp Bricht, Hannover, 19 Sept 09
(2xCD, plus limited bonus disc)
Hot off the subhuman switchboard, this document of Dr. Chadbourne's recent two-hour stand at local culture dungeon Silke Arp Bricht will flay your remaining azure seedlings. Needless to sputter, more spittoon-dunked greatness from the North Carolinian rake maestro.
Disc One
101 Pt. 1 (53:00)
Disc Two
201 Pt. 2 (48:48)
Disc Three (limited to the first ten orders)
301 Version (TS mix) (54:03)

Recorded by Karl at SAP, Hannover.
Edited and produced by Tom Smith for KSV.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
Edition of 20.

KSV 046 Academia Riding Rust - A Perforated Rink
If you're as nauseated by All Tomorrow's Parties' fetid penchant for hauling elder cabals out of semi-retirement to perform ancient texts for lazy rubberneckers as we are, then this screed is right up your core collapse! ARR took Suicide's recent (and wholly unnecessary) ATP live run-through of their '77 Red Star debut platter, squeezed it through the galley porthole of Mark Knoffler's 700-foot runabout, and drove the point past the vacant lot where the Dirty Three's last shred of dignity was found gagged, broken, and defiled. You know what comes next...
Composed by ARR.
01 A Perforated Rink (42:21)
Edited, mixed and produced TS for KSV, September 2009.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
Edition of 15.
--
KSV 043 Ikea Cafe Ambiance vs. Schützenfest Autumn Carnival
Recorded September 5. A day trip to the home furnishings colossus, then a slow stroll around a particularly threadbare carny encampment. A flourishing ace shunts sons; hot hypermedia tots curtly purr "Barracuda therapy tiller..."
01 Ikea Cafe Ambiance (17:03)
02 SAC (12:02)
03 Composite (17:03)
04 Version (17:39)
Recorded by Karl at Ikea, Hannover, and the Schützenfest Autumn Carnival, Küchengarten, Hannover, on September 5, 2009.
Mixed and produced by Tom Smith at KSV HQ, Hannover.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
Edition of 10.
--
KSV 042 Christopher Fleeger - 1977, USA
A document of the San Francisco-based improvisor's bracing, consistently satisfying early September performance at Silke Arp Bricht. Such a relief from the usual, respectable dull presence offered by other abstract sound artists... Fleeger's footage of venerable mice provide explicit links between militia postulations and dowagers' palms. Epic, and epicene.
Composed and performed by Christopher Fleeger.
Recorded live by Karl at Pit's Salon, Silke Arp Bricht (foyer), Hannover, on September 2, 2009.
Opening/closing remarks by PN.
Edited and produced by TS for KSV.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
CF: modified pads, mallets, brainwave amplifier
01 Complete Set (40:47)
02 Version (TS mix) (19:05)
Didn't realize until after the set that Herr Fleeger's a homeboy - he grew up less than 60 miles from my sleepy native hamlet...
Edition of 15.
--
KSV 040 Three Resurrected Drunkards - Baukasten: Exact Linearity
The third release from the duo of Pit Noack and Tom Smith, one that takes their shattered aesthetic (as represented by rehearsal and live recordings made at the titular venue in August) to illogical extremes of abstraction.
Composed and performed by PN and TS.
(Extracted elements of "I Must Mourn" composed by Tim Lane Seaton & Tom Smith/Rope Cosmetology.)
PN: cassette decks, prepared tapes, speaker array.
TS: voice
Recorded by Tom at Baukasten, Hannover, and by Pit at Zum Zigaretten, Hannover, August 2009.
Edited, mixed, and produced by TS for KSV, September 2009.
Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
01 Nitrate Lyricist (6:22)
02 Clarinetist I Try (6:41)
03 Beak Aunts (6:10)
04 Absent Auk (25:56)
05 Proper Monsoons (10:59)
06 Drachma Lipstick Knot (9:29)
Edition of 15.

KSV 039 Anne - An Innkeeper's Totems
Anne is an orphaned keyring amulet. This is her first album for Karl Schmidt Verlag.
Anne has little patience for Beatles/Stones schlager remakes. Her wrath has been made flesh...

02 Anne Pt. 2 (10:50)
03 Anne Pt. 3 (16:02)
04 Anne Pt. 4 (18:02)

Mastered by Linda, Viola & Uwe at Slab Alucard, Cluj-Napoca.
Edition of 15.
--
KSV 038 Gaunt Exes - Trunk Situ
Karl Schmidt and TS collaborate at long last! The assemblages were crafted by Herr Schmidt, and the vocal shards were injected into soft, pulpy tissue by Smith. Very fucking dangerous to your ears. (Defaced shipwrights' adzes agree.)
Likely to scrub pesky foul notions from your latest tony infrared summons...
01 Quota Torments (20:09)
02 Irk Me (20:46)
03 Omit Copse (20:53)
04 Papal Louse Op (4:57)
