Kazumoto Endo and Kazuma Kubota - Switches and Knobs (Phage Tapes, PT: 133, 2010)
The style of Endo Kazumoto noise of either could be defined with one word : spasmodic. In signing the work under his own name and those of their projects as Ryke or Bug Killer, Endo tends to create compositions from frantic and virulent stacking dynamics are inevitably followed by abrupt cuts. "Switches and Knobs" presented in collaboration cd format between this monster of noise and Kazuma Kubota, part of the new generation of harshers from Japan.
The first cut, recorded in studio, pure precision: the silences are ideally suited to the noisy intrusion of both participants. The massive blows that the duo gives the leaden silence are composed of layers of distortion modulated and appear as suddenly as they disintegrate in the air. After each volley of severe acid shock, ferrous raw sounds are inevitable moments of emptiness, silence settles like a huge monster, ready to crush even the slightest movement. While both exchanges are becoming more virulent, increasingly hostile and fleeting, as if his compulsive soon seek to dictate the death of any structure. The second cut
abounds on the same dynamics but extrapolated to a live presentation. I can hardly think of few situations as difficult as trying to carry this burden of formal discontinuity to an environment like this, especially knowing that this is a situation in which both performers must operate under very precise accuracy. The result is a resurgence that borders on the absurd, shot records sound even more sordid whose mission seems to be the destruction of any kind of musical convention. The awkward reactions of the public make it clear that the Kubota and Endo is an ideal sonic difficult to tackle and to follow up and refer to those moments when the noise usually understood as a perversion, an acquired taste incomprehensible, absurd for the adherents of the most obvious places melomanía. In this court every silence becomes a kind of abyss cageiano where laughter and murmurs have their share of ownership. This joint
Kubota and Kazumoto Kazuma Endo is more than welcome in the current context of noise, showing as evidence that noise may still occur that has a unique character and away, fortunately, the conventions. (SS)
