Le Révélateur has released recordings on Gneiss Things, NNA Tapes and Root Strata.
BLACK TO COMM live
The music of Black To Comm is as powerfully intoxicating as it is subtly unnerving. Shapeshifting producer and sound artist Marc Richter has established himself as one of the most inventive and ambitious voices in contemporary music. Richter’s mastery of sonic manipulation is matched only by his astounding clarity of vision. Working heavily with sampling and electronic processing, each of his phantasmagoric works is meticulously constructed from a truly omnivorous array of smudged samples, found sounds and other sonic detritus, collected by Richter from across the history of recorded music and altered into beguiling new shapes. Sound sources seem tantalizingly familiar and yet forever just out of reach, flickering at the edges of memory and perception or submerged in a bristling sea of static. A single piece might strafe elements of Eastern European folk, medieval plainsong, sky-clawing metal and shimmering ambient music, all ingested by Richter into his singular sound-world.
NO U.F.O.S live
Named after the classic 1985 Detroit techno track by Model 500 (Juan Atkins), No UFO’s is the recording moniker of Konrad Jandavs, a Canadian experimental artist who runs the Nice Up International label. Working with magnetic tape, obscure synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, and field recordings, his recordings are wildly unpredictable sonic collages, shifting between submerged dub, abstract techno, shimmering ambience, and space rock. He has shared the stage with Demdike Stare, Dopplereffekt, Loscil, and many others.
