Pulse Emitter and ID M Theft Able have been nicely reviewed in Vital Weekly #575 (www.vitalweekly.net).
ID M THEFT ABLE - AND I PULLED THE WORD 'AND' FROM MY BEARD (CDR by 8mm Records) PULSE EMITTER - DEADLY SPACE MISSIONS (CDR by 8mm Records)
It's been a long time since I reviewed something by ID M Theft Able, a.k.a. Skott Spear: 'Cl Amo/Ang Or/Er Use/E Etc' in Vital Weekly 415. I have no clue what he has been doing since, perhaps working on this new, again curious titled release 'And I Pulled The Word 'And' From My Beard'. When before they (back then it seemed a duo to me) they played an highly amplified form of musique concrete, here it seems to be more microphone and turntable abuse. Spear takes up the microphone and multi-layers his mouth making sounds very close to the microphone while spinning records of a rather unidentifiable nature on the turntable. Quite a release of chaos, but one of a highly captivating nature. Still quite noise related, as before, but this time I thought it was better to digest (maybe I have a more lucid moment right now?). It's all quite lo-fi, but it's also quite poetic, of a rather personal nature. The nine tracks that span again some fifty five minutes is of a rather exhausting nature, but it's worth hearing in it's entirety.
Pulse Emitter's daryl Groetsch is a busy man. He has released a great bunch of CDRs, some of which made it into these pages in recent weeks. If I'm right, much of his released material is generated through live improvisation on his modular synthesizer (take a look at www.synthnoise.com for some pictures). On 'Deadly Space Missions' there are two pieces recorded live, from may 2006 and one from september 2005. Before I found his work in the areas of noise being intelligent, but these two pieces are indeed as 'space' as you can get. The synthesizers bubble around, bend over and down, up again, and it's sounds like a soundtrack to a science fiction movie - more space invaders and body snatchers than a space odysee. The second, roughly of similar length, is a more introspective drone affair, with sustaining synthesizer sounds that reminded me a bit of old Organum: it had a similar 'rusty' character. This is the best Pulse Emitter I heard so far. (FdW)
