Warren Burt - the Allen Ginsberg of the Melbourne Experimental Scene

Audiopollen 13 September 2006

Tonight we played a mixture of releases from the last 1/2 of the year.

Starting with David Shea's Art of Memory suite which has recently been released on his own Metta Editions label from Melbourne.  Those who have seen his most recent performances will make more sense of this with sample collages of film and audio, composed and broken sound.

I then moved onto Warren Burt, mr Old School who moved from San Diego to Melbourne in 1975 and immediately set about stirring up the local experimental musicians assisting in the setup of the Clifton Hill Community Arts Centre from whence the likes of Phillip Brophy and Ernie Althoff hail.

Tonight I played a selection from his recent release for Phil Niblock's Xperimental Intermedia label, "The Animation of Lists and the Archytan Transcriptions".  Over two sides this disc features expansive compositions for tuned metal bars and can be listened to as both modern serial music and ambient drone.  

I also played "To Make a Machine" from Rewi Poems - a collaboration between Burt and John Britton who reads the poems of Rewi Alley.  Rewi was a New Zealand poet who most of his life in mainland China extolling the virtues of the People's Republic (if not so much the party in power!)  Released by Sonic Gallery it features the interplay of spoken word with Audiomulch comb filtering, making lush tones from speech.

This edition of Audiopollen ends with some the first 4 tracks from each disc in the latest release from Final (Neurot Recordings)  Final is a persistent work in progress for Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu fame.  Being a repository for his more beatless ambient works Final 3 comes across like a blend of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works volume II and My Bloody Valentine (with an all most impossible to avoid element of Fennesz but much dirtier!)
