The Nerve Institute is the current incarnation of a one-man project that's been active in some form for nearly a decade now. Architects of Flesh-Density (2011). This is the first official Nerve Institute album although M. Judge (who is Nerve Institute) has released other albums under different names. He wrote, played, produced, etc. just about everything on this album himself, with maybe a little bit of help here and there. The music is generally hard to describe as there is so much going on in every song. The use of many different instruments makes for a full sound. The guitars and drums are sometimes very jazzy. Sometimes the guitars are more metal sounding and electric pianos are used often…
LEYA is the Brooklyn based duo of harpist Marilu Donovan (Eartheater, Aerial East, Julie Byrne) and violinist / vocalist Adam Markiewicz (PC Worship, The Dreebs). With Flood Dream, LEYA subvert the academic and classical connotations of their instruments, instead reframing them in a DIY punk ethos and favoring intuition over pedagogy to inform their creative process. Their arrangements bridge instances of baroque ornamentation and blocks of harmonic density with stretches of fugue state-inducing confusion built over dreary standing tones and repeated dissonant intervals. Flood Dream includes a few tracks from their feature-length score of Brooke Candy’s queer pornagraphic film “I Love You” (made for PornHub’s Visionaries Director’s Club) and follows their debut album, The Fool. The lead single and album opener, which features experimental pop vocalist/composer GABI, hints at the expanded sound of Flood Dream which was written during an extensive touring over four months in the US, Canada & Europe.
Recorded over the course of 1989 and 1990, Faith Moves is a series of duets between Sonny Sharrock and stringed-instrument whiz Nicky Skopelitis, whose taste for world music lends these sessions an exotic flair. The format is actually somewhat similar to Sharrock's Guitar album, where he accompanied himself on some fairly basic compositions that allowed him to soar into an overdubbed stratosphere. Here, of course, he has a partner, but the execution is oftentimes pretty similar, especially on the first half of the album. Six of the nine selections are studio improvisations, with overdubs added later to flesh out the sound or emphasize Sharrock's themes.
