DYMAXION 'EP' 7" (
)
Welcome to Intonarumori, another chapter in the strange and wonderful
world of Dymaxion!!!
On this, 's second Dymaxion
single, Jeremy Novak & Claudia Newell
reconvenes the tone generators, electronic sound bursts, shifting time
signatures, split-level beats and samples from the garage of yesteryear
also heard on singles on Hemiola (UK), Vesuvius (UK) and Duophonic (UK).
Dymaxion sets forth assembling the stripped-down, lo-tech tracks and song
snippets that simultaneously evoke the cartoon music of Carl Stalling,
The Fall, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and contemporaries
such as Deerhoof, Matmos and Stereolab. Outer space
pulsations, off-kilter guitar riffs, breaks that make
you smile - Dymaxion creates soundtracks where a sense of disorientation
goes hand in hand with a playful sense of purpose. For a project that
is primarily confined to a studio, Dymaxion has performed quite
frequently over the last year or so. The live band is expanded to a four-piece
including current and former members of Fly Ashtray, The Wharton Tiers
Ensemble and Autobody. This line-up supported Stereolab on the Northeast
leg of their most recent US tour. The tour culminated in three memorable
gigs at New York's Irving Plaza with Dymaxion
,
Papa M, Jim O'Rourke & Gorky's Zygotic Mynci joining
Stereolab for the encore each night. Stateside the band has also
played with Mogwai, To Rococo Rot, Tarwater, Tower
Recordings & Home.
Dymaxion has also played a few dates in the UK where the band has
received support from John Peel. The shows with The Pastels brought
Dymaxion to Scotland in 1998 where the band had an opportunity
to perform on The Beat Room TV Show with Mt. Vernon Arts Lab.
