Comment: Fulmedesh is the long-distance project of Argentina-based Mariela Arzadun (ARP Odyssey, volca bass, guitar, field recordings, poems), and the US-based Keith Helt who runs the imprint pan y rosas discos (guitar, pedals, flute, keyboard, drums, computer, poems) who play an instance of improvised music full of feeling. More profoundly, the soundscape of six compositions is sonically and stylistically angular and spiked with sheer sonic effects, transgressive progressions, fast and frequently unanticipated turns. I did perceive how the music had resonated with sounds coming from the street outside which in fact consists partially of recorded real concrete sounds. In general, all the obligatory elements of experimental/improvised music/noise are represented and something a little bit else additionally here. Mariela Ardazun-played the austere sounds and minimally functional sonic trickery on the vintage Korg ARP Odyssey permeate throughout the course. At Oh yes! It was a different tiger o quién habló de eso antes Anne Boyer reads her poem Not Writing being performed on June 28, 2016 in Zagreb, Croatia. The personal favourite of mine is Forced Landing On The Stomach Of A Turtle which is channelized into a minimally trudging drone doom-laden rock composition being embellished with shards of electronics and stoned intonation. Addtionally to the Keith Helt curated imprint the issue is released in conjunction with Amor Loco.
