Stephen Ruppenthal and Gary R. Weisberg
Strange Times
Boomkat Product Review:
Stephen Ruppenthal, who was part of Don Buchla's Electric Weasel Ensemble, joins forces with Gary R. Weisberg on this one, a psychedelic, electro-acoustic droner that's assembled with various techniques and tools - including Ruppenthal's original '70s Buchla Music Easel.
Hallucinatory synth music is ten a penny these days, but leave it to the experts if you want something done right. Ruppenthal has been coaxing lysergic sounds from his arsenal of analog synths since the '60s, both as part of Biome, an EMS Synthi performance group, and the Electric Weasel Ensemble. And this set of void-inducing long-form wobblers is an impressive meeting of minds that explores the ability of sound to alter consciousness.
Using vocal echoes and rubbery, fractal synth sounds rather than slow-moving drones, the duo create a dense cacophony of sound that's sci-fi on the surface, and pure chaos below. On the brilliantly titled 'Odysseus in the Sirenuse', they approach Louis and Bebe Baron's hallowed 'Forbidden Planet' OST, using sonorous analog chorals to tug at our preconceptions of early electronic music. But there's more going on: acidic squelches and DSP gurgles drag us away from the obvious, and demonic voices help prize open the third eye.
Then, on 'Say the Word', Ruppenthal and Weisberg loop the titular vocal sample until it's smeared almost beyond recognition, echoing out underneath frozen, microtonal warbles.
