Fat32 - Fat32 (2011)

Y llegamos al viernos, y como todos los viernes, tendremos material extra para tratar de reventarles la cabeza en el fin de semana. Hoy vamos ala agresiva propuesta de dos franceses, en un estilo que podría ser una mezcla entre Naked City, los argentinos Defórmica y sobretodo a los japoneses Ruins. Convengamos que ésto no lo encontrarán en otro lado. Para formatearte la cabeza...

El Mago Alberto habitúa a compartir material sumamente extraño e inconseguible, ya sea nacional o internacional. Ahora nos trae a dos franceses que tienen su propia propuesta. Los dejo con el cometario del Mago Alberto...

El año pasado le comentaba al Vampiro algo sobre estos pibes franceses, y luego de escucharlos y verlos en videos, he llegado a la conclusión que estos chicos se conocen desde muy pequeños y en algún momento de la adolescencia, seguramente siendo vecinos, comenzó la comunión de juegos y locuras compartidas que los llevó a encontrarse en algún momento de sus vidas con la música, y seguramente lo que comenzó como un juego se transformó en FAT32.
No solo hay muchísimo ensayo, acá hay comunicacion total, frecuencias mentales supercompartidas, sensaciones similares, muchísimo tiempo dedicado a llevar la música a terrenos desconocidos, inimaginables, paroxismo total, estratos enigmáticos, adrenalina, asombro, originalidad, productos de tanta tecnología... engendros?
Lo que hacen estos chicos quizás sea la síntesis de la evolución musical de los tiempos, aquello del inconsciente colectivo, génetica, cromosomas. Lo invisible.
En que género pondrias esto???? Simplemente son dos músicos muy jóvenes, tocando como las putas madres que los parieron, eso simplemente ESO.
Recomiendo muy personalmente este disco y en especial el video que lo acompaña, un lujo de producción donde se nota que estos chicos son una cosa seria. No lo recomiendo, es imprescindible escuchar y ver a FAT32.

Mago Alberto

Vamos con algunos comentarios que no son míos, porque la verdad que aún no escuché el disco...

Justo ahí donde lo dejaron los japoneses Ruins, con ese mismo sentir de "dúo sonando a power trio pasado de ácido", encontramos el emplazamiento musical en el que ubicar a este par de fantásticos majaderos. Quizás más alejados de Magma que aquellos, es decir liberados de las ataduras zeuhl, y con con un sentido del humor explícito que nos remonta incluso a la Canterbury, pero igualmente repletos de combinaciones imposibles y versátiles explosiones hardcore. Dúo radical y corrosivo cuyos conciertos son de obligada asistencia.

Y baste de comentarios en castellano porque no hay casi nada de ésta banda en la web, ni en inglés ni en kobaiano, les traigo lo poco que encontré.

I am always interested hearing any release from Web of Mimicry. On this release, on the first track we hear technical metal drum/bass with instrumental bubbling rap leads of electronics/keyboards, mixed with aggressive electric guitar technicalities composed into it as well, brought together with a bombastic effect. The track shows dominating rhythmical changes. There are pushing speaker vocals in the background first. Later on, the more comic vocal fragments give its extension and expression a renewed context of an instrumental audio comic book element. This whole thing evolves further to an aggressive form of Zappaesque heavy jazzrock contra technical rock. Suddenly this whole scene monster moves to a calmer jam in the next track, with one layer of keyboards, which is enriched further with a bass drums foundation to improvise further upon. Also this becomes thoroughly more technical in its rhythm/melodic repetition groove. An extra electronic layer then takes over the lead, where the rhythms and technicality also becomes more aggressive. Some of the sounds being added are like that for a computer game. Never the less, the band quickly returns to the heavy acid and more electric power with drums in the next track, of which only some minor accentual parts are programmed in it as well. The last track balances between programmed rock and electronics, with parts of electric piano and jazz modes, with a small fragment featuring the appearance of aggressive vocals too. Then we have a filmic fragment too and an Atari electronics fragment, switching from there back to technical rock. This track ends with a medley-sort of collage varying and switching from aggressive metal to circus Hammond organ humpapas. A good album which despite it’s interesting elements didn’t surprise me much or give me enough time to breath and adapt all of it. After some repeated listens I felt that it’s technical aggression succeeds in a contradictory way succeeds to relax from any outside tensions in me as well. Nice.

This is a French synth and drum duo called FAT32. They definitely have a mathy element, so I wouldn't know what sub-category to put them in. Everything that you hear on the recordings is performed live, none of this is programmed, including the samples. I saw them open up for SECRET CHIEFS 3 and KAYO DOT a few years ago and I was floored. They are on Trey SPRUANCE's label Web Of Mimicry.
They have a handful of live youtube vids to find as well if you get into music. I'm primarily posting this because it's been pretty difficult for me to find stuff more like this. Halp!

From Lyon, France, this live-action musique concrete bit-crushed punk duo are long-time touring-partners with Secret Chiefs 3. It's hard to believe it's just drums and keyboards. If someone said FAT 32's music stands upon foundations erected by bands like Lightning Bolt and Hella, they would be partially right. But the quintessence of FAT32's music sparkles beyond such comparisons into regions occupied by artists like Spike Jones, Edgar Varese, Naked City and Squarepusher. Their live show so flabbergasted the members of Secret Chiefs 3 that they have dragged them all around the world for over 100 shows, and stood watching every night, never tiring of admiring FAT32's ever-shifting set. It was decided that a recorded document of this music HAD to be made. The production talents of Randall Dunn (SunnO))), Master Musicians of Bukkake, Earth, Kinski) were brought to bear, and the result is an astonishingly crushing and lucid representation of this band's irreducible formulae. With this CD, FAT32 proves that the best future-music in the digital age is still made 100% organically.

Mimicry Records

It has Arrived! i heard about Fat32 through them touring with Secret chiefs 3 and am totally blown away by this record. released on Trey Spruence's label Web Of Mimicry, Fat32's self titled debut with artwork by Seldon Hunt is a all killer mash up of freaked out strangled 8bit keyboard sounds and drums. Heaps of awesome samples and fucked up time signatures at break neck speeds. I am a true fan of these guys and really hope to see it for real live some day. get it down your gullet!

Espero que ésto les guste, por lo pronto les recuerdo que ya no publicaremos links de descarga (salvo las resubidas de Sandy, que luego las llevaremos al lugar que corresponde), así que si quieren algo más de lo que hay aquí, deberán visitar la Biblioteca Sonora Cabezona que abrimos en nuestra lista de correo.
Y se larga el viernes, lluvioso y con tormenta, y con los discos del blog cabezón!
