Grovel Choke Stew

Unique noise. Tons of fun/creative sounds, twistedness, and cool rhythms and channel play. Really inspiring creatively. All one guy, Ed Howard, on laptop, voice, percussion, microphone and samples. Awesome. Favs 3, 5, 6, 11. FCC clean.

1. Nintendo tones warbling over industrial noise & static – gets more chaotic and fucked up.
2. Strange fast industrial beat under electro screeching.
*3. Manipulated voices? alternate between L and R channels, electronic popcorn popping? or a hyperspeed pingpong match? or… drumming or slapping on various parts of a naked body? Very cool rhythms, catchy and weird.
4. A vigorous tooth-brusher indeed. Never thought I'd dance to that!
*5. Beautiful, more steady/drone-y noise.
**6. Try tracks 5 & 6 together. Fucking amazing screeching, those popcorn/pingpong/slapping sounds, and a super high voice, distorted except for the very funny/disturbing ending.
7. Like lots of very sharp thin knives slicing through your brain. Ends with a belch/boar/jet engine?
8. Distorted radio samples played on top of each other. Cool L/R channel play. Spooky.
9. Screechy electro sounds, like beetles finally chewed through all your radio wires and are singing their own ominous opera to you.
10. An intense 27+ minutes. Starts with more of a beat, goes through many drone-ish phases, madness and fun.
*11. Symphony of ratchets and tin cans and a creaky chain. Super crisp-sounding. Is it weird to fantasize about working on a bike with a friend and making this kind of music before having wild bike-mechanic sex?
12. 2-channel play, tones and distortion. As always, good rhythms.
13. Swishing, more of a steady, almost looped piece, but the last couple minutes are more active – beautiful, bordering minimalism but with fascinating rhythms.
