16 Ono Resistance




i wanted to write a bit about this release on ono. Ono Resistance is a sort of noise techno hybrid using 'techno' instruments to make something different the first two tracks are electronic feedback soundscapes that hint toward a knowledge of some of the recent stateside electronic noise and power electronics of recent times, wolf eyes, burning star core you get the picture... Track 3 is something slightly different a kind of rhythmic noise track that nods as much to larry heard and chicago experimental house music as it does to british radiophonic music. this last track is not house music but it certainly has a groove and the feeling and space that knows house but doesn't try to recreate what has already been done to death a million times before.

the influence and knowledge of a openess to all kinds of sound has led to this release being made in northern england by some guys with a passion for misusing and recycling bits of vintage kit. you tube 'men and Boxes' Some of the instruments used in this release are listed below.

Waldorf 4-Pole
Crumar Multiman
Dynacord DRS-78, DRS-23
Tiesco 60F
Roland SH-09, TR-606
ETI Vocoder
Akai S1000, MFC42

The synthersizer in the picture above was the main sound source for many of the sounds.

Tracktitles for the tracks are to the point and bring to attention the upcoming political storm that we dont really have any chance of avoiding. The People who made the music contained on this disc are music lovers through and through and each of the contributors have much to contribute to the world of music and i hope that they produce some more sounds like this. because it is not empty production line music made for a label to capitalise on. This is raw quietly confident music who's whole aesthetic is based on every person on this earths right to choose what happens in the coming storm.
