Dust Pincher Appliances sees the light of day once again.
Due to the demand and the continued unavailability of this
release, Crouton is pleased to announce the
repressing of irr.app.(ext.)'s
Dust Pincher Appliances CD. Originally released in 1998 in
a shorter, alternate form, via a now impossible to find 10” vinyl on Something
Weird Records, Iceland, the CD edition on Crouton contains different versions of
the original recordings, as well as three tracks not present on the 10”
edition. Some might say that anything graphic artist, sound artist, and writer
Matt Waldron produces is peculiar, and his work as irr.app.(ext.) is no
exception. Each minute of these compositions reveals
unexpected surprises. The instrumentation, who knows? A bit of everything
really, except the standard ones. However, the style is not a mess, but rather
an obsessively scrutinized audio story, aural painting, or sound experience,
which is quite devastating to take in. See review in the Brainwashed archives.
Waldron began this recording
project in 1991, and has eight records under this name (although most were not
publicly released). Some will recognize the name as being co-responsible for the
Nurse With Wound LP "Angry Eelectric Finger" on Beta-Lactam
Ring, and the CD, "Chance Meeting of a Defective Tape Machine and Migrane" on
the United Dairies/Anomalous label. He has also worked with the likes of
Stillupsteypa and
Coil, and has created scores
for numerous Butoh performances in California. His graphic art, which is
similarly as intriguing as his sound work, has also found its way into NWW
territory, particularly on the cover of their CDs “Automating Volume 1 and
2.” Elsewhere, his visual work has been exhibited in various galleries
throughout California, as well as in the pages of Bananafish
Magazine. Furthermore, Waldron also was co-founder of the Oneiromantic Ambiguity
Collective, a writing & performance group active since 1998. Each of
Waldron’s talents in graphics, sound, and writing, can be witnessed in this fine
release.
