John Hegre/Carlos Giffoni: Lesbian Brunch
3" CD-R -
Gameboy Records, USA - 2004
FE-MAIL FEATURING LASSE MARHAUG - ALL MEN ARE PIGS (CD by Gameboy Records)
LASSE MARHAUG & CARLOS GIFFONI - LESBIAN BRUNCH (3"CDR by Gameboy Records)
Only very recent (Vital Weekly 429) I reviewed a collaborative CD by Lasse Marhaug and Maja Ratkje, now it's followed by Marhaug and Fe-mail, a duo of Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord. The recordings are not very recent (from feburary 2002) but maybe only recentely mixed, by 'The Swine', as the cover says - and me thinks they meanMarhaug. If they can put one man on the moon, why not all of them? is probably the motto of this CD. The CD starts out with 'Oh, You Gritty Thing', a full noise blast, but luckily the album has also some more contemplative moments - for whatever that's worth of course - such as the vinyl abuse of 'In The Slicer With Lasse Neuf' or 'Charmed'. For the bigger part this is of course an ear-splitting collaboration, worthy for the son of Merzbow, and as far as I know not really a pig at all. On CDR in a small size, Marhaug teams up with Carlos Giffoni, one third of Monotract and recentely reviewed with his trio 3"CD with Jim O'Rourke and Lee Ranaldo (see Vital Weekly 430). The recording was made in july 2003 in Antwerps Stereophonics and is a session of improvised laptop noise in combination with electronics and towards the end even some guitars. Of course the two boys play a full on noise thing here, but with enough variation and skill to keep things interesting for the full twenty minutes. (Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly)
