This is the digital single from the fothcoming album "Drama Queen".
Two alternative mixes of Fabrizio’s version of Tammy Wynette's classic torch song, one deconstructed and reconstructed by Daniele “Lo Dev Alm” Pagliero, plus an instrumental track exclusive to this ep.

“Drama Queen” is an album possessed by the transcending spirits of the holy divas of the uncivilized modern western society, our only true leading and totemic figures, merged within Fabrizio’s own world and musical vision featuring invaluable contributions by Jamie Stewart (of Xiu Xiu), Carla Bozulich (of Evangelista), Paul Beauchamp (of Blind Cave Salamander and Chew-Z artist) and has been co-produced by Fabrizio with Daniele Pagliero and Marco Milanesio (DsorDne, 9cento9).

“Drama Queen” will be officially released on September 2010 by Important Records, but a limited tour edition CD will be available at forthcoming ( r ) shows.

Monolithic in its funereal gait, it rarely concedes and digs from the inside to the inside.
The chords are drifted into silence; noises, distant sounds are recreated into infinite spaces depending on the listener availability.
Pietra is not an album that you can love or hate, but it’s an album that loves and hates you.

...three men, from a land of hills, wine and some fog.

We met 3EEM when we've started Chew-Z (they were into First Aid Kit compilation), then we've shared music experience and now they present to us: Third Segment. It could be considered their third work, after the two albums on Small Voices and on White Label Music.
We like the essence of their sound: it could be the soundsystem for a tour around the solar system... and Chew-Z is the captain !


Composed and recorded between the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, Third Segment emphasize even more on the basic idea of 3eem: electronic rhythmic structures, alteration of sound sources, textures of saxophone and guitar between minimal riffs and short glimpses into improvisation, a sort of tribal rite making its way, overlapping between the certainty of live sound and its deviated interpretation.

All music written and composed by 3EEM.

Valerio Zucca Paul: electronics.
Fabrizio Bazzoni: tenor sax, electric guitar.
Danilo Corgnati: electric guitar, effects.]]> 2009-12-10 10:45:00 http://www.chewz.net/release/view/CWZ016 http://www.chewz.net/release/view/CWZ015

We’ve been impressed by their shoegazing sound; we’ve shared emotions and some live experiences and we’ve liked their e.p. on Marsiglia Records: “Talking.Silently e.p.”, so we started thinking on a remixed edition and here you are the results… The original delicate guitar drones has been forced under the pressure of the beats and rhythms by the hands of some other musicians (Arbdesastr, Die Stadt Der Romantisch Punks, Eniac, Grausamerg Eisenberg, Isan and Japanese Gum…); the reinterpretation has turned the songs in an alterated state: dreamy, coloured and onyric.

Lost In Weirdness is available in free download but also in a digipack cd audio edition on sales trough our shop.

Notes (by the Band) :

Tracklist :
1.Intro - Africanized by Die Stadt Der Romantisch Punks
2.After All, A Grey Collapse - Japanese Gum (recorded in spring 08, mixed in winter 08)
3.Sunday, 1:00 pm - Japanese Gum – spoken word by Enrico Bosio (recorded between 06 / 09, mixed in April 09)
4.Could The English Rain (wash it away?) - Remixed by Arbdesastr
5.The Undertaker’s Tombstone - The Undertaker’s Tombstoned – dubbed by Grausamerg Eisenberg
6.Declaration Of A Permanent Absence Of Will - dueling drum machines remix by Isan
7.Could The English Rain (wash it away) ? - Remixed by Eniac
8.Cluster Of Bees (early version) - Japanese Gum (recorded and mixed in March 07)
9.And Talk Silently - alt version by Japanese Gum – vocals by Stark Vision Of The Morning, flute by Greta Liscio
10.Gonna Look In The Backroom - Japanese Gum (recorded and mixed in January 08)

This album is composed by five remixes from our “Talking.Silently e.p.” realized by some of our friends between September 08 and May 09, one alt-version we have made with featurings, and four tracks performed by us, one really brand new, a couple old ideas refreshed into new shapes and one, a demo-early version.
We decided to put in this album all stuff loved by us, with no conceptual bases but the idea of two different extended playing, that we thought could be better and surely comfortable as well played in the same record.

Mastered by Martino Sarolli and Emilio Pozzolini at the Butchery, June 2009.

Big big special thanks to Fabio (Eniac) Battistetti and everyone at Chew-Z who had the patience to wait for us for really such long time!
Then, really thanks to all the beautiful people who put their hands/mids/souls in our tracks and remixed so well: Jukka Reverberi, Simona Barbera, Greta Liscio, Fabio Battistetti again, Antony Ryan and Robin Saville, Enrico Bosio, Paolo Campagnola.

They evolve in a mysterious way and let the listener discover them, as the discovering of a landscape of a hypothetical journey in a land where morphology changes every step the traveller takes.

There is a constant and quite fast evolution of the atmosphere in this ambient music that renders it deconstructed but in the meantime very concise and concrete.
Except for the smallest parts, there is a total absence of loops in favour of a formal research that creates melodies and rhythms using electronic devices with a deep knowledge.

This work is the antithesis of what is considered the current trend of making electronic music in today's day, but these tracks, notwithstanding the artist's skill in sound design are not only a void style exercise, but are also always loaded with self-explaining contents that are deep and warm.]]> 2009-03-03 00:00:00 http://www.chewz.net/release/view/CWZ013 http://www.chewz.net/release/view/CWZ012 Sometimes Yorgl is happy, sometimes sad, always his music is smart and wonderful.

Like opposing forces are bound together, the mood of this release will bring you in the world of small things and the biggest things, the pleasure and the pain, analogue and digital sounds.

A must and a very good new entry in the land of IDM and experimental beatnologism.

Riga interact their musical taste with strong visions from our reality.

The music is a fascinating old school deep synth electronica, used with clever beats and evocative noises and drones.
The compositions are brilliant, Riga uses crescendos in a similar way a post-rock band does.

Mutant Fish is the author of their visuals used during live performances.

The ep is available here in digital download for free, but you can get a copy of the compact disc that also includes the video tracks by Mutant Fish.

We like Paul Beauchamp firstly as a person, we met him when he was performing with Sikhara, today he's a fine composer as you can hear with his song Nevica.

We have a special attractions to Genoa, and here you can listen to 3 kinds of different musicians from this town: Fabio Zuffanti is a songwriter of delicate sounds; instead the young Rocktone Rebel is a "pop blaster" with his personal 8bit devices... then Port Royal is a well known international electronic band, that we've liked from their beginning.

Sandblasting knows how to drive you in a total noise status but he also creates hypnotic grooves!

Satan Is My Brother continue their trip into the night, in the meantime they reached the production of the first album (out on Boring Machine).

Stefano Giust & Madame P had created Camusi, during an improv session and Back To The Present has been recorded in this way during their tour in Portugal.

Yorgl is an amazing jockey that chews dirty beats to make you dance, in this track he shows us a less known aspect of his productions: a deep granular ambient song.

Die Stadt Der Romatische Punks is again here, his music is slowly progressing from raw noises to a melodic status.

PassEnger is a young producer for a new dancefloor generation, he will have a future!

Riga reached us some months ago, this is an interesting audio/video project!

We met Simone Pelliconi some years ago and he surprised us with his compositions that until now have not be released with any label!

Music born of " abstract experience", in reality is spread of heterogenous presences.

The repeating processes are the rule, but they don't spend too much time and they leave the place for new repeating processes, creating a connection of static panels.

But the whole record develops exactly from this illusionistic game of exchange between static and dynamic panels. The rules of composition are stratigraphy.
The model is near the Xenakis' mass of sound conception.

From the Milani words: "What influences me? All that is around me. I have learnt to listen to the sound of ambients, cities and places, thanks to my job as acoustic architect. I often spend a lot of time listening without putting a cd on the stereo and playing music. Now the important thing for me is the sound. The manifesto of concrete music says: "we have called our music "concrete music" because it's composed by pre-existent elements, borrowed from any sounds both noise and traditional music. These elements are composed with experimental method by direct construction, not traditional musical construction."
I'm interested in places where I can hear the human presence reverberate. In this way the sound is the only protagonist. The sounds are very important also in social context, so an alteration of sounds also means changes in the human relationships. I have an oriental vision of time and space. Western music doesn't have an universalistic vision of the sound; it's closed into a blind isolationism and unable to feel the expanse of the universal sound language.
In reality I am an autodidact: I often thought of studying music but I am afraid of the sound's beauty so I studied by myself for ten years. In these years I have learnt to consider the sound not the music. So the important thing for me is the iteration between the cd's sound and the ambience where you listen to it. The life of the cd's sounds needs a regeneration through new situations and goads".

It Is Later Than You Think presents 8 new tracks, most of them were written first for live sets and then produced for the album, so the songs are more immediate than the other works of Daniele.

There are two key concepts to this work: introspection, represented by minor scale melodies and the need of communication, exposed by a linear structure, easy to listen to.

This is the third publication of the Lo Dev Alm project, the first one on Chew-Z netlabel.

reviews


"Di “MKUltra” ne avevamo avuto un assaggio (succoso) in versione ridotta sulla riuscita compilation “First Aid Kit” della torinese Chew-Z, sentire ora quel brano in versione estesa ci induce nuovamente a rimuginare sul semplice dato di fatto che: Stefano Giust è uno dei migliori (è più curiosi) rappresentanti della scena impro (e non solo) italiana. Macchina ritmica implacabile e flessuosa Stefano. L’essere in perfetta solitudine non rappresenta un problema per lui; questa escursione elettro/acustica ne è la riprova. Forte di un bagaglio impressionante (le sue prime incisioni coincidono con l’entrata nell’adolescenza, 14/15 anni!), Giust elude abilmente il pericolo esposizione autistica (frequente in casi analoghi), innervando la sua ricerca di una nervosa attitudine comunicativa fuori dall’ordinario. “MKUltra” poggia solidamente le proprie basi su di un impianto elettronico dove le combinazioni ritmico/melodiche si rincorrono lungo una serie di ipnotiche apparizioni/scomparse d’inequivocabile fascino notturno. I campionamenti utilizzati dai pads percossi con le bacchette sono stati originariamente editati e manipolati dai londinesi Andrej Bako e Karen O’Brien (parte del progetto Rediffusion con lo stesso Giust; ne riparleremo…), la composizione finale ottenuta, è il remix di un’improvvisazione in solo, registrata dal vivo durante un festival contro la realizzazione del ponte sullo stretto di Messina svoltosi a Reggio Calabria il 15 luglio 2004; proprio durante un tour con Rediffusion. Siamo dalle parti di una minimal techno scheletrica ma non troppo, potrebbe essere il parto tranquillo e non ossessivo di Scorn, ma potrebbe risultar tuttavia; anche l’elettrificazione di una fase percussiva africana. Stupisce l’attitudine popolare insita nel brano, poliritmie complesse e cangianti emulsionate e martellate una nell’altra senza soluzione di continuità; le linee melodiche che appaiono/ scompaiono come intraviste da dietro una porta socchiusa. Il bagaglio artistico/professionale di Giust d’altronde chiarisce in modo esaustivo sul dove e come si sia potuto sviluppare un linguaggio cosi personale; lunghi anni di militanza e rigore estetico/politico/formale. Autodidatta non ortodosso, Giust ha registrato qualcosa come 60 albums (a suo nome o co-leader), svariando fra impro, avant-jazz; elettronica pura e anche puntate in certo rock disarticolato e disastrato. Ha suonato con (alcuni per carità; son troppi da citare!), R. Paci, G. Gebbia, D. Pagliero, Luc Ex, J. Andreini, V. M. Laforgia, G. Mariani, A. Bako, K. O’Brien, G. Mitchell, A. Diagram, E. Ricci, G. Lenoci... È autore di colonne sonore per video installazioni e performance, e questo dato aggiuntivo può chiarificare ulteriormente la visibilità/fisicità tangibile nel suo percuotere. Inoltre (come non bastasse…), il Giust è anche (dal 1993), il fondatore del network/catalogo d’avanguardia Setola Di Maiale; con il quale ad oggi ha prodotto circa 100 dischi. In ultimo qualche nota sul titolo scelto; la parola all’autore: "MKUltra è stato il maggior progetto di controllo mentale (...). Chi governa manipola!" Detto questo, detto tutto. Siamo dalle parti dell’eccellenza!"
[Marco Carcasi, Sands-zine, 2007]




"Stefano Giust lo avevamo già incontrato all’interno della compilation che presentava la Chew-z agli addetti ai lavori. Di certo il nostro non si può dire sia un emerito sconosciuto: batterista/compositore titolare dell’etichetta Setola Di Maiale, tenutario di più di sessanta lavori nell’arco di una quindicina d’anni, è proprio con la Chew-z (alla sua terza uscita, in co-produzione con la stessa Setola di Maiale) che sceglie di pubblicare il suo nuovo lavoro. Una musica che svela continuamente la tensione verso l’esplorazione ma nello stesso istante nasconde già il suo passato, non presenta mai il quadro generale se non una minima parte distrutta, lacerata, notturna e fascinosa e profonda, terribile. Quella di Giust è musica ossessionante e meccanica (MKUltra - scrive nelle note del disco- è stato il maggior progetto di controllo mentale utilizzato dalla CIA fin dagli anni 50...) che si regge sull’assenza/presenza di ritmo e sull’assenza/presenza di melodia, approfittando dei vuoti vibranti alla maniera degli Scorn di ‘Colossus’; è scheletrica e annebbiata, con varie frasi melodiche evanescenti continuamente sommerse sotto una coltre di poliritmie distrutte, ridotte a cellule, rimanipolate (dal collettivo londinese Redifussion) e remixate all’interno di un quadro generale che ha il sapore della techno minimale early-nineties. Ciò che colpisce è il sapere che il tutto è retto dal solo ausilio di una batteria, senza neanche un overdub: una comunicatività che rapisce e distrugge e trema e vibra."
[Giorgio Pace, RockLab.it, 2007]




"Stefano Giust, svizzero (?) trapiantato a Pordenone, dove ha esordito con la grandiosa Old Europa Cafe, è un percussionista e compositore autodidatta. Già unire questi due dati potrebbe farci pensare a un Mick Harris o a uno Z’EV, e forse un po’ ci si va vicini, se non fosse necessario menzionare anche il rapporto con il jazz. Coi due condivide certamente la propensione alle collaborazioni, come dimostra il catalogo della sua etichetta Setola Di Maiale, con cui – assieme alla net label Chew-Z – pubblica MKUltra. MKUltra è il nome di un esperimento su cavie umane della CIA che somiglia a una specie di “cura Ludovico” al contrario, in quanto pare fosse usato per svuotare il cervello delle persone allo scopo di trasformarle in attentatori inconsapevoli. Il cenno alle origini del titolo è doveroso, visto che Giust è uno che vuole la nostra attenzione sia per discorsi musicali (è impressionante quanta buona musica riesca a pubblicare/produrre e quanto sia alternativo a tutti i circuiti) sia per discorsi extramusicali, tant’è vero che questo disco è – cito la presentazione – “un remix di una improvvisazione in solo, registrata dal vivo nell'ambito di un festival contro la realizzazione del ponte di Messina, svoltosi a Reggio Calabria il 15 luglio 2004”. Tale remix pare incentrato su di un freddo minimalismo elettronico: utilizza e ricombina una manciata di suoni che inserisce in una sequenza ripetitiva e piuttosto ipnotica, capace – proprio come il succitato trattamento – di disperdere parte della nostra coscienza, tranne per lo scossone che danno alcuni momenti più abrasivi e molto efficaci (qui il paragone col progetto Scorn è in effetti spontaneo, anche se forse non del tutto accurato). Il download dal sito Chew-Z di MKUltra potrebbe dunque essere la scoperta di tutto un filone musicale nascosto: magari non riprogrammerà il cervello di nessuno, ma è un’esperienza sonica non da poco."
[Fabrizio Garau, Audiodrome.it 2007]




"Cerebrale, neve bianca che cade sotto il sole d'agosto, dissonante, maestria del suono scomposto in mille forme, suoni ultramolecolari che viaggiano di pari passo con rumori dal sapore industrial. Un lavoro di pura ipnosi, di costruzione nervosa, dove i suoni flessuosi e cupi di Andrej Bako e Karen O'Brien - autori di tutti i sample di questo disco sui quali MKUltra (Stefano Giust) ha agito con il suo consueto lavoro di destrutturazione - vengono spezzati dal ritmo circolare di suoni glitch, atmosfere languide che intervengono a spezzare la buia umoralità del suono. Un'architettura scheletrica e rumorosa tanto da sembrare una danza tribale elettrificata. Tempi dal passo lento e cadenzato, quasi dub ma strutturato su di un rumorismo inquieto. Silenzio infranto da colpi duri, multiritmia difforme e mutevole, una base univoca e sequenziale crea il cardine contiguo su cui i tre estratti si basano ricevendo lievi ma complesse variazioni; una chiusura liquida e muta, che con estrema attenzione prova a non risvegliare dal torpore in cui ci ha trascinato. MKUltra crea un live set unico, di esplorazione sonora senza limite, costruito su ritmi incalzanti fatti di suoni manipolati, gocce di risonanza in cui immergersi con membra e neuroni, un lavoro che ha bisogno di predisposizione mentale e un capace background elettronico, proprio perchè non convenzionale, un lavoro come pochi se ne ascoltano al momento, un'importante quadro di ricerca mai fine a se stesso. Se vogliamo un piccolo gioiello di sperimentazione oculata."

The Wagon is also a mixedmedia performance where the audio side meets the visual set (based on landscapes from the wagon's window).

The author has always had a passion for traveling by train, this passion became habit when he started traveling everyday along the railway Turin - Milan, during these trips he composed a couple of songs of the album (with a laptop), and he began to plan the mixedmedia version of this project, and he filmed the video: Packetfiltering.

Produced at home and on a train during 2004; recorded and edited between May 2005 and January 2006, by Fabio Battistetti. Instruments: laptop, pedal effect, field recordings.
