ReplyDeleteHi - I thought maybe you'd be interested in reviewing this album. There's a link for a free download at the bottom, but I'd be happy to send you a physical cd, if you give me an address.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to get familiar with Workday/Schoolnight’s music and art.
Using only synthesizers and tapes found in thrift stores and junk shops around the southeast, Workday/Schoolnight combines found-sound spoken-word tape collages with bursts of electronic synth-punk songs. Bart Trotman has been recording under the name Workday/Schoolnight since 2006, and although this is his 5th release, it is the 1st to come out since he has been playing live shows as Workday/Schoolnight.
Unable to escape the cynical realities of living on a troubled planet, the punk songs on “Plastic Ocean” grapple with distrust of those in power, an overpopulated planet, the working poor, and the pharmaceutical industry, just to name a few. Juxtaposed and sprinkled in between the songs, are bits of audio trash, or tape ghosts, voices from the past promising a better life, more money, inner peace and cures for incurable diseases.
W/S was conceived as a side project for Trotman, who also busies himself with currently being half of the experimental art-museum rock collaborative, INVISIBLE. INVISIBLE is known to the art museum/gallery crowd of the southeast for their unique and elaborate homemade instruments. First there’s Rhythm 1001, a sprawling drum machine that is programmed by pegging a huge turning wheel, that in turn sends pulses to a dozen or more percussion instruments spread around the players. (Think old-timey music box made to play dance beats). Also in INVISIBLE’s arsenal is the Selectric Piano, a typewriter that plays piano - where every letter equals a note and the text is projected for all to see AND hear. (Videos of each are available online)
Trotman can’t take credit for the creation of these one-of-a-kind artstruments, that accomplishment goes to his mad-scientist partner in crime, Mark Dixon. Trotman’s contribution to INVISIBLE ranges from writing & composition to VHS & cassette sampling to playing synthesizers and drums. Due to the overwhelming amount and size of INVISIBLE’s equipment, Trotman has continued to play clubs and DIY art spaces as Workday/Schoolnight, leaving INVISIBLE focused on bigger spaces that better accommodate their installations.
Both Workday/Schoolnight and INVISIBLE are based in Greensboro, NC and can be found in numerous places online.

Nice blog, thank you!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS - THANKS - THANKS for this wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteARNOVAH (or ARNOVAH TAGUIEV) is a musician from France (Dijon).
He has worked with some other artists like DZ LECTRIC and ANTHON SHIELD (= keyboard guy from NORMA LOY) in an experimental/industrial way in the 80's and the 90's. He has also created the TECHNO project DYNA for a 7" (L'homme à la moto) with CHELSEA and USHER = the 2 main actors from the experimental-cold-goth band NORMA LOY.
Is it possible to listen to another tape by ARNOVAH = OPEN CREMATOR?
Many thanks for your blog.
congratulations.
unfortunately i don't have "Open Cremator" and i'm looking for it myself...
ReplyDeleteThere is something wrong with it - can you re-upload this rare casette?
