»Universal Prostitution« |
Hardcore improvisation. Extreme, sharp and filled with burning energy -
No More Music (at the service of capital). This is a beautifully
painful record recorded in Oslo, russels and Strassbourg in early 2006
by the duo of Argentinian Lucio Capece on saxophone, often feedbacked
through a mixer and Basque computer improviser/feedbacker/ destroyer and
thinker Mattin, both based in sunny Berlin. "Universal Prostitution"
moves in the wastelands between extreme reductionism, noise and focused
improvisation. The message is very political. A fist in the face of the
capital. Get into the void. Cover image by Gustav Klucis. Only free
software were used.

Opinions
»"Mattin has the usual computer feedback behind his name but also vocal,
which in the context of noise a rather odd thing for him. 'Universal
Prostitution' has four tracks of noise music. In the opening title
piece the tone is set: loud furious aggressive, a wall of noise.
Mattin's voice here, as well as in the other three tracks, is a
cross-over of William Bennett (of Whitehouse fame) and Gary Mundy (of
Ramleh fame). In 'Consumed' however the two create a collage of noise
and silence, and even a bit of saxophone is to be recognized. This is
by far the best piece on the CD, because it breaks away from the
standard noise thing which is more or less apparent in the other three
tracks. But throughout I must say this was quite an enjoyable CD of
real loud noise.« - FdW, Vital Weekly
