otto von schirach again
 

MmM on 2001-12-05 05:53 [#00058270]



See what I mean? This guy is crazy. Here is a story from
forcedexposure.com all about it. I havn't heard this cd yet,
but I would fight off an entire army of smurfs to get my
hands on it. Baron Von Picklefoot... he's you isn't he!

The 2nd full length Otto Von Schirach album, following up
his devastating 2001 release, 8000 B.C.. Featuring guest
appearances from Matmos, Dr. Flamenco, Takeshi Muto, Jeswa,
Mr. Egyptian hologram, Queeph Brothersm & Mr. Soundwave.
"The day Otto moved in, I was a little concerned. We had no
spare rooms, only two couches in our modest downstairs
living room- a room hardly fit for living in. When he
pullled into the parking lot, his clunking '67 comet was
filled with eyes and colorful faces, like the circus car
that spews out an endless stream of clowns. Some of the
faces were clowns, some were robots, there was an ET, a
Transformer or two, scores of Smurfs, a Hellraiser Pin-head,
a modified Pillsbury doughboy, and about three hundred other
odd characters. One by one, they came inside to live. We
already had a junglist living in the master bedroom, and now
it was sure to get mad. Otto's ritual began. Every day he
would wake up at two or three in the afternoon, get in his
car and clunk away into the river of cars on the way to his
Grandmother's house. There he would do odd jobs and run
errands, and in return he would leave with a large coveted
pot of his Grandmothers magic black bean concoction, worth
more than any salary. On his way home, he would stop make a
few drop-offs to various delinquents and mutants around the
city. This was very stressful to him, but upon returning,
suite d256 was quiet. I was usually the only one awake,
quietly clicking my mouse, illuminated by the glow of a
liquid crystal display in the upstairs studio. I would come
down from time to time to get a bowl of rice or make some
tea, and there, in the near darkness he would be, staring
profoundly into the two inch green window of his drum
machine, like a peeping tom looking through his favorite
keyhole. His headphones would chatter, slurp, and giggle on
his head like Jabba the Hut's little pet (I think they made
sounds without even being plugged in). We would listen to
each other's songs in mutual amazement. Inspiration would
draw us back to work, new ideas forming as we went off to
our separate screens. Around the time I'd tuck myself in, I
would hear Otto's car starting, clamorous as a rusted
shipyard boat, and again he would sail off, just hours
before the sun would arc around the Atlantic curve to scorch
the land. This time he was off to rehearse with his band,
appropriately named Insectdezyde Juice. I never heard them
play or saw where they practiced, but at that hour I imagine
it was pretty grim. I suppose it was pretty exhausting,
because when I would arise, he was always there, comatose on
the couch in the broad daylight. Those of us who were awake
would play music, talk, and eat in that, the "living" room,
providing the subliminal soundtrack to Otto's dreams. Deep
inside, dreams filled his head with sleepwalking burnt
smurfs, competing plant courriers tailgating close behind,
magic microphones jumping like fleas, eluding his grasp,
while Phoenecian Warriors wandered through lost Incan cities
in search of secret frequencies. The black bean potion
churned deep inside of his sleeping body, changing him.
Across town, his grandmother is stirring a bubbling pot. For
a moment she pauses, looks up above the rising steam, and
smiles. --- Joshua Kay

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-05 09:25 [#00058304]



i cant find that otto dude on winmx or morpheus. where can
i download it?


 

m on 2001-12-05 14:05 [#00058364]



I know you can hear brief samples of his other cd "8000 bc"
on cdnow.com. I bought that one, it's really crazy. The
whole package is well done, there's a picture of him on the
cover with a bionic hand and elsewhere it shows him with the
joystick to a giant mecha robotic conglomeration he
invented. His song descriptions and lyrics are insane too.
He's on "schematic".


 

Taxi on 2001-12-05 15:20 [#00058374]



Best to buy it. His new release is the shit (altho it took
me a listen or two to get into). He has a new EP/Short Album
that apearantly is filled with mc-ing (heard a couple trax
off it, and it is gold I tell you).

Good to see some glitchusianists that have a sence of humor.
Give the boy a hot dog (and don't forget to smother it in
smelly mustard).


 

Dirtypriest from Denmark on 2001-12-05 16:09 [#00058384]



Whats this music like?


 

Taxi on 2001-12-05 16:33 [#00058396]



Its on schematic.


 

Taxi on 2001-12-05 16:45 [#00058402]



I should add, that it is wierder than a lot of the other
glitch/DSP that normally appears on Schematic.


 

m on 2001-12-06 06:03 [#00058508]



taxi, can you suggest comletely bonkers music, highly
intricate, vivid, overly entertaining? These are my
favorites:
crunch "1" (have u heard it?)
otto von schirach "8000 bc"
autechre "lp5,ep7 especially
funkstorung "appetite for disctruction
Also have you heard anything from the label worm interface?


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-06 07:43 [#00058550]



m, you are the only one with enough balls to say you like
funkstorung. i love funkstorung. off of appitite for
disctruction i love I/0. i really want to make a song for
myself like that.


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-12-06 10:15 [#00058581]



Anyone heard Funkstorungs new one VICE VERSA ???

I like Funkstorung imo - a sort of more / organic / humane
than Autechre - which while arguably similar - are still
very distinct. :)

Oh and .. S'Apex : Henryk - reprogrammed by Funkstorung on
Additional Productions is wonderful ..


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-12-06 10:15 [#00058582]



S'Apex Synkopic that should be :I


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-12-06 10:21 [#00058587]



But yeah .. I/O is lethal - that being a good thing :)


 

m on 2001-12-07 05:21 [#00058810]



now I have to look at the cd case to find out which one is
I/O... your second sentence contradicted your first by the
way...


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-07 05:24 [#00058811]



i'm a waking pile of contridictions! if i didn't contradict
myself, who would? anyhoo, thats what us mutant death
pengwins do... but we call it charm. thats right death
pengwin charm.


 

m on 2001-12-07 05:27 [#00058812]



Actually you didn't contradict yourself since you used 2
seperate distinct words "love" and "like". I'm sorry, I know
you tried you'll get it right next time.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-07 05:29 [#00058814]



i'm canadian, eh? i still find this whole "english" language
thing quite challenging. someday i'll figure it out. could
guide my to the restroom? i would like to examine a book of
library.


 

m on 2001-12-07 05:34 [#00058816]



um... I like to eat cookies.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-07 05:42 [#00058817]



i like cookies!
remember! that used to be my "thing" at the end of my posts!
i don't know why i stopped. didn't care. lazy. who knows.
its a mystery, like the pyramids or other mysterious things
like that thing in my fridge that allows me to see my
contents of the fridge like bar-b-que sauce.

i like cookies.
really i do.
i have a cupboard full of 'em!
i really do! its great! the varity is amazing! i love
cookies! cookies are even better with milk! or oreos where
you split them apart and and eat the frostingless side then
eat the frosting fully side! i love that. or choclate
cookies with chaclate chips! full of choclaty goodness! or
lemon swirls, with their lemon centered goodness and creme
filled nutrition!
i can definatly say i get my daily recommened dose of
cookies every day.


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-07 05:43 [#00058818]



i think i got too exited about the cookies
sorry


 

m on 2001-12-07 05:50 [#00058820]



I can see how pengwins would like oreos in particular since
they're black and white. That is if pengwins are the same as
penguins.


 

re di vider on 2001-12-07 05:56 [#00058822]



: )


 

m on 2001-12-07 06:04 [#00058826]



:)


 

Mutant Death Pengwin from Medicine Hat on 2001-12-07 06:06 [#00058828]



actually pengwins are quite different from penguins.
Penguin - small head, beady eyes, small feathers and a beak
Pengwin - average head, average eyes, unshaven

Pengiun - small body with markings that resemble a tuxedo
Pengwin - average hieght and scrawn with markings that seem
to resemble kakis and sweaters

Penguin - very fluent in the english language and an
incredible speller
Pengwin - not fluent in the english language (canadian, eh!)
and an incredibly horrid speller

Penguin - flappy wing things
Pengwin - appendages that resemble arms, one fully
functional opposable thumb, one half functional thumb

Penguin - lay eggs
Pengwin - a stud that sits in front of the computer all
day.

so, i can see how you could not see the difference between
the two, but i feel i may have clarified the thin blurry
line between pengwin and penguin.
now, turn your desks in a circle and discuss.


 

re divid er on 2001-12-07 06:13 [#00058831]



check your email mmWmmwwMwwmmWmm


 

m on 2001-12-07 06:46 [#00058836]



Thanks for the anthrax, it was nice.

Well, sure a pengwin sounds simple and innocent enough...
it's the mutant death part you have to watch out for. One of
my top 3 favorite imaginary fantasy songs is penguin love.

wayout from a plastic bubble on 2001-12-08 04:03 [#00059009]

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-12-08 07:26 [#00059028]



Ooh, Pengwin, thanks for the mental image, you hot stud,
you! But I still picture you as a small bird, oh well.


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-12-08 10:46 [#00059034]



m:

thanx bout the contradiction thing :)

my "in" word - concept thing at the moment is a paradox. if
you look close enough - it is to be found EVERYWHERE. :)


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-12-08 10:46 [#00059035]



Contradictions ain't bad either tho.


 

m on 2001-12-08 21:08 [#00059091]



Great, I only heard of phoenecia of those (but havn't
actually heard the music yet). I wrote them down for future
investigationamajig.
