The Bizarre Misadventures Of Ernest B. Grimm
Recorded
at Tachyon Studio (13 December 2000). Original mix by Jim Tetlow, Steve Freeman: synths, guitar, voice, loops, samples, etc. The Bizarre Misadventures Of Ernest B. Grimm This is our own mythos, the tale of a stowaway who dared
to venture beyond, to discover for himself that which he was said to be
dangerous and not for the mere casual traveller. Ernest B. Grimm closeted himself
away on a ship, part of the secret mission to Centauri. He had heard tales of
the wonders to behold, of the strange creatures he would meet, he was in awe
at such an adventure and was not prepared to wait. Intrepid as he was, Ernest
was not clever enough in his chosen hiding place, the ship detected him and
sought him out. With all the systems set on trying to catch him, the ship
never noticed the phenomenon ahead. No chance to alert the sleeping crew, no
chance to escape the strange glowing mass heading straight at them.
Inevitably, the ship crashed killing all but Ernest. Dazed, as he raised his
head out of the slimy bubbling mud, amidst a hissing and electronic gabble,
it became apparent that he was surrounded by weird tripod-like tentacular creatures,
who were laughing at him... This was only the start of Ernest's adventure,
the first half or so of this accidental musical depiction. We leave the rest
of the story to your own imagination! In Der Weise Von Gruppen A 21st Century electronic
classical suite in 3 movements, with strong Teutonic roots. The sonic
fragmentation, use of electronic pulses, clusters and collage certainly feel
like a hybrid of early electronic Stockhausen given the treatment of vivid
Klaus Schulze "Irrlicht" and "Cyborg" with the feel of
Nurse With Wound. All this is totally coincidental, however, as when we
created this our notions of what was to come were unknown. We started with a
blank page, spurred on by the accidental discovery of unique synthesizer
modulation, against which other key elements fitted in and counterpointed. Versions... |
