Bryan Lewis Saunders ‎– Near Death Experience CD (OCCD43)
"The bastard son of William S. Burroughs, Antonin Artaud and Crispin Glover. Hilarious, awful, heartbreaking and brutally honest, his Stand Up Tragedy is some of the best shit I've heard in a decade" - Lydia Lunch. Bryan Lewis Saunders is a multi-media artist, poet, videographer, and performance artist from Tennessee mostly known for his disturbing monologues and somniloquies, a master of an outlandish universe of his spoken word. In 2006 he started his own label, Stand-Up Tragedy Records, and since 2007 has been performing in Contemporary Art Museums, Media Arts Schools, and at music festivals mainly in Western Europe. "Near Death Experience" is a 2010 recording, originally produced by Erratum as an LP release, that takes his twisted world and jams it into a 74-minute mindfuck. He channels his disturbance into his creativity, using visual art and musical performance as alternative ways to deal with recurring demons and mental health issues, conveying a message about the power of addiction. “For hundreds of years, artists have been putting themselves into representations of the world around them. I am doing the exact opposite. I put the world around me into representations of myself as I find this more true...” - B.L. Saunders. "Near Death Experience" is an extreme sound poetry collaboration with music from Joachim Montessuis, Marcelo Aguirre, Christopher Fleeger, Michael Peck, John Duncan, Spastic Dementia, Kaontrol Kontraos, Murmurists, and Tracy Lee Summers, from harsh noise to heavy drone, an impressive and immersive piece of contemporary art. Limited edition of 300 copies printed in a lavish, full-color glossy 4-panel digipak with an extensive booklet. First 50 copies come with an exclusive A3 folded poster.

It is indeed :) I have an LFO kit on the way then the 3rd space will make a DIY 1u from one or two of the Electric Druid or DSPsynthesisers digital ICs i ordered ages ago, a noise source and maybe something else if there's room

My favourite part of the video is when he pans the webcam down to reveal that his shelving unit brimming full of cassette tapes is empty below the strategic camera angle. Probably the only time I laughed - that had to be planned, right?

Seriously though, every single thing he says is framed with an ironic, self-defensive know-it-all 4chan/millennial tone of voice that's incredibly frustrating to listen to. Much like it's cringeworthy to hear someone say "LOL" in real life, it's genuinely appalling to hear the vernacular of the internet hivemind applied in your daily conversation. Obviously his perspective is of the alt-right variety - it's all cuck-this and fag-that - and I'm sure he's doubling down on it both to reject similarly contemporary ctrl-leftist speak and to gain an impressionable audience, but it's just depressingly sad either way. Like that Simpsons quote where one grunge fan asks the other if he's being ironic, he doesn't even know anymore. He's like a cross between Martin Shkreli and the son from World's Greatest Dad. He really needs to step away from a computer screen.

Saying all that, it would be funny to see a counter video review coming from a similarly exaggerated radical leftist personality and perspective, complete with trigger warnings, LGBT+ acceptance (especially with P) and Tumblr lingo, whilst emotionally flipflopping between outrage and #wokeness.

Actually, scratch that. Terrible idea.

UPDATE: i got a Wasp... haven't had any time to even do much of anything with my modular recently... started building the world's smallest eurorack :D



Nobody's mentioned this yet I don't think: https://x1l3.bigcartel.com/ specifically Harsh Noise/Power Electronics modules ! Look great.

Is this a standalone 1U case? If so bravo! I remember on muffwigglers seeing someone posting a full 1U system (apart from buying them all seperately).


I recently got me a Piston Honda and it really really has got the edge in terms of aggressive low end and hyper active high end. Fucking menacing.

Sweet, thanks! Meant as both a compliment and hopefully a call for more folks to take advantage, that’s a damn nice batch of tapes.
