Olver Stummer on Dubnihilism (originally: Hypnopaedic
Rhymes for Dubnihilistic Education) was the direct precursor
to Alien Audio Absurdities. It was created during summer/fall
of 2000 in vienna. I played all the guitars, some bass guitar,
sampled some cello and jawharps, and also made heavy use of
a borrowed nordlead1 and a virus, both played by hand and
recorded to hd. The beats, some basses and basically all the
rest was done on a p2 pc, with sound treatment in granulab
(and probably others similar freeware programs) and programming/arrangemnt
in acid. To be honest, it was a very low-fi affair, and im
personally amazed listening to the material again for the
first time in years – how fresh it still sounds. (Tomoroh
Hidari, at the Court of the Nihilist Jester, 2008)
Robbie/F. grey on Dubnihilism:This
album will only be a free download for 2 months. After that
it will be available on Itunes and here for $6.
When i first met Oliver on SoulSeek i downloaded whatever
of his own music he had shared at the time. Most of it i had
listened to and enjoyed thoroughly, but there was this one
LP that sounded drastically different than the rest. It was
a strange mixture of dub music from all eras, early Lee Perry,
mid 80s roots influenced production, and massively dipped
in DSP creating a psychedelic soup that rivaled most Meat
Beat Manifesto work. Dubnihilism is very head of it's time.
Elements of modern electronic production ala Flying Lotus
and Rustie can be heard on this record 7-8 years before these
techniques caught on. One of the glitchest and most unpredictable
Dub albums you will hear drawing influences from all eras
of the musical genre. Oliver knows his dub music well and
it shows in this LP. Robbie stumbled upon a mysterious
myspace website of one titled the Dubnihilst. We still
haven't figured out if this is Oliver playing a trick on us
or not. (to be continued...)
