about

Amish is pleased to announce the third iteration in its Required
Wreckers Series, a split LP featuring new and exclusive work
from Ben Vida and Keith Fullerton Whitman (AMI-033 R/W).
Having collaborated over the last decade as a trio with Greg
Davis, this release features new solo-work by two of America’s
most important emerging sound artists.

The first side of this release debuts a new composition from Ben Vida. In keeping with his recent patchwork-based compositions,
AGGREGATEPULSERIPPER (DAMAGED IIII) continuesto explore Vida’s interest in both digital and analog control sources, a compositional process that refuses to fetishize one technology over another and, more interestingly, appears to displace the musician’s hand from the compositional process.

The flipside of this LP features Keith Fullerton Whitman’s third in a series of splits (previous releases have included No Fun Production’s b/w Carlos Giffoni and Amethyst Sunset’s b/w with Mike Shiflet) documenting a particularly productive period in his creative output—a series of “synth concerts” from 2007 and 2008. Recorded on January 14, 2008 at PA’s Lounge in Somerville, MA, this piece documents the fourth in Whitman’s
solo synthesizer sets. Throughout the recording one can discern talking from the audience and ambient room-tone noise, as well as sound coming from different sources spread throughout the room—a small battery powered speaker on stage right, a giant Barbetta on stage left. Each speaker was fed into a different patch irrespective of its frequency response. Whitman uses a hybrid system of digital and analog sound sources that, with the exception of a single 4096 bd delay, is presented here

REQUIRED WRECKERS

With equal nods to Throbbing Gristle’s retrograde conceptualism and Recommended Records unwavering musicality, Amish is pleased to announce the Required Wreckers Series. Over ten catalogue releases, R/W will explore the work of artists operating at the intersections of sound art, improvisation, drone, outsider experimentation and modern composition. In the spirit of its name, R/W aims to disrupt the boundaries typically used to delimit genre and the sensibilities that help to inform taste. In so doing, R/W slips out from under the simple, reductive classifications so often used to discuss, and even critically engage, contemporary music. Situating R/W in the gap between Throbbing Gristle’s celebrated a-musicality and the unrelenting craftsmanship of Henry Cow, these releases acknowledge their debt to historical precedent. Each release is a one-time vinyl pressing and will be housed in a letterpress band (designed by Bryan Christopher Baker) that will vary with each installment (each will also be available in the vastly inferior digital format). These LPs will also include artwork and assorted ephemera that invoke our deepest respect for the medium and the hand-crafted (and assembled) components we regret have disappeared with the rise of digital media. R/W will terminate in ten installments.
