Schedelvreter At Juno Download

Review: The 34th release from Brooklyn's Minimal Wave imprint digs deeper into the musical brain of Danny Bosten. Most commonly known for his Das Ding project, the Dutch synth pioneer also dabbled in a totally un-sequenced, freeform approach as Schedelvreter (which loosely translates as "Skull Gobbler") releasing Hunter, a cassette of this material via his own Tear Apart Tapes label in 1985. Minimal Wave has now fully remastered the seven tracks from that cassette for your digital consumption. Intriguingly, the music on this release was apparently composed on a steadily malfunctioning Crumar synth Bosten was using which would sporadically throw out sounds that were eerily human, whilst drums were created by layering noise. At a time when laptops offer almost infinite possibilities, it's interesting to hear how musicians from previous ages managed to create with such limitations imposed on them.
