PISS SUPERSTITION/CULVER - There Is Space in the Clinch

The Piss Superstition is none other than Julian Bradley, more commonly known for his solo work as A Companion as Glamourous as Sleeping on Wheels, duo recordings with Neil Campbell & group compositions with The Negative Kite & more recently The Vibracathedral Orchestra. The piece offered here - There Is Space in the Clinch - is a study of differing pitches, seemingly appearing & disappearing at will, all cloaked in a warm analogue blanket. the careful listener will be aware of the appearance of some wonderful melancholic phrases, revealing a humanistic & fragile undercurrent. Culver is the prolific recording project of Lee Stokoe, horror movie aficionado & head honcho of the long-running (over 100 releases & counting) tape/cd label Matching Head. Glass Doll contains the characteristics to be found in the best Culver material - an attention to microscopic internal deviations within a single pitch, a relentless devotion to "sound" as object & the ability to leave an indelible & unique fingerprint on all his work."-Ç - Firstperson.
