Carlos Giffoni / Chris Corsano - EAT THE RICH
Although WFMU out of Jersey City has had many interactions with both Carlos Giffoni and Chris Corsano, looking through the playlist archive there is no record of any tracks being played of this new album titled Eat The Rich. Absolutely sure this will change with some time gone by, but for now, very happy to be in the forefront of listening and attempt description.
A fantastic composition of sonic style and intense sounds. It would be an easy path for Carlos and Chris to forge making Eat The Rich thrust over the thresholds of most individuals ability to listen and process. Both artist have vast experience in sonic extremes plus free form creation and in a blink, vast of amounts of noise and mayhem could ensue. This is what makes the composition so very special. The forcefulness is front and center, but driving past the point of saturated absorption is governed and creatively considered. These conditions make Eat The Rich a more palatable composition for a much broader spectrum of listeners.
All of the selections on the lp are incredible. Very industrial feeling but at the same time a glowing warmth connects coheres each moment and instance. While listening, we are on the edge of new sonic spaces and held secure with the creative care Carlos Giffoni and Chris Corsano have infused within their sounds. The first and longest track titled "The Creature" takes us to so many places. Powerful openings to electronic jungles, a droning emptiness ignites near the end to usher the pyretic second track "Society is Noise". The next two selections "Sacred Words" and "Transposition Nation" focus on very cool different drone structures. "Roam (Dedicated to Masami Akita)" is a selection working both melodic rhythms and percussive maelstrom. The last two selections "Tubular Bells" and "Gran Via (The Last Days)" focus again a two different drone styles, both uniquely different and so well done.
This album is a gem and is a true pathway into incredibly avant-garde sound focuses. Released by Gilgongo Records in a very limited edition of black vinyl lps. Copies are currently available.
