NEW Compilation LP out Now !

 

"…Imagine a few friends sitting around and trying to find really weird sounds to include on a mix tape and you have Alex Ross-Iver's "Best 2001-2005" album. This album seems to sample every weird beat line and synthesizer tone known to man…. Listening to the entire album, I don't think I heard Ross-Iver's actual voice once. He used vocal distortion on almost every song, mixing in bits of house and techno aspects. A bright note, "Permanent Cooky Loves U" sums up this entire album with a really cool baseline, cool techno aspects and a great beat… but then comes the primal singing of Cro-Magnon man… In summing everything up, I am still having a hard time deciding whether Ross-Iver is ahead of his time or has just tried too many drugs… " – Tim Williams/Music-Reviewer.com

"Best of 2001-2005" Album REVIEWS:

"...If there is one word to accurately describe Alex Ross-Iver, it is busy. This individual has cut over 500 tracks since ey got into the music scene at the age of five, and this "greatest hits" collection sports 27 separate tracks. However, just because someone has 500 tracks to their name does not necessarily mean that any of the tracks are particularly exciting. A sterling case of that concerns Steve Lieberman, who is up to eir 11th or so full length, and only can claim an album’s worth of strong tracks throughout eir career. Unlike Lieberman or Mizar, Alex Ross-Iver has a very high set of production values that start off tracks like "Wacky Jacky"... This does not change in subsequent tracks, and by the time tracks like "Latin" hit listeners, one can almost hear a cohesive album being created. This sound is something that is bolstered with each following track, even as Alex moves between different styles , tempos, and instruments used. The one act that immediately reminds me of what Alex Ross-Iver does on this best of CD has to be Wired All Wrong, which is an act that had a member of "God Lives Underwater" in it. Ross-Iver is able to jump through a number of different styles throughout the entirety of this disc, and it never feels as if ey is trying to throw crap on a wall and sees what sticks. "Will I Be The Best in Berklee" is one of the strongest tracks on the disc, as it brings Alex Ross-Iver into a very eighties type of electronic rock, almost as if Nine Inch Nails mated with Depeche Mode.The pseudo-soul sound of Ross-Iver comes back heavily during "Cin! Find Me A Small Car!". This track also changes up the output of Ross-Iver by having the vocals sound as if they have been screwed and chopped. I am not familiar with what Ross-Iver has done in the past beyond the tracks culled from eir previous works on this album, but this CD sounds as good of a place to go to learn about Ross-Iver than anything. Even though the tracks are all odd when one compares them to the rest of popular music, there is a lot here than individuals can find that they can love about Ross-Iver. Part Wendy Carlos, part Berry White, Ross-Iver has a number of tricks up eir sleeve to properly get fans to eat out of eir pocket.

Seth Norman - "Concatenation"

In the early 90's, a young suburban kid in Portland, Oregon was avoiding his piano lessons in favor of recording himself making noise on an antiquated Casio keyboard. The ivories were completely abandoned upon his introduction to the drum set. Cutting class to practice with rock bands by the time he was in middleschool, Seth Norman had started along a path in music that was simultaneously rocked and redefined by DJ culture and the artistry of electronic music production. As a teenager, Seth put drumming gigs on hold to experiment with turntables, a stack of records, and his computer.

At 16, Seth was frequenting the DJ booth at parties in Oregon's underground scene. He would work on his own productions after coming home from playing trance, breaks, techno, house and drum 'n bass at warehouses and clubs around Portland. His tracks were quickly picked up by local artist compilations, fellow DJ's and radio stations around the nation.

A longtime fascination with hip hop, an intense enthusiasm for all varieties of music and a growing fetish for old vinyl in dollar bins and garage sales culminated in the sound that characterizes Seth Norman's debut solo release, a 5-track EP whose seemingly academic title suitably describes the experience of listening to it. Concatenation is a sprawling, fluid intersection of styles, where the sounds of jazz, experimental electronics, psychedelic rock, hip hop breaks, movie soundtracks and epic metal riffs collide recklessly yet smoothly.

This description is largely in line with Seth's assesment of himself as being "completely incapable of focusing on any single musical pursuit," as he puts it. While producing Concatenation, he also played drums on and co-produced Portland band Matilda Catches Fire's self titled album (considered by many to be a breakout release on the west coast indie scene) as well as two releases by the pop-rock prodigy band Paper or Plastic. This genre-defying passion for art is evident in all of his musical pursuits and embodied in his latest release.

Artist NEWS:

"CONCATENATION" EP RELEASED!

We are pleased to announced that Seth's dark and evocative sonic vision is now officially available for you to take home. "Concatenation", a five track disc that feels like a full album, characterises his deeply textured and rhythmically intense sound.

Musical Biography:

  Malachi was born in Hempstead, Long Island, Ny and has lived there ever since. 
He's always been intrigued by music and took up the alto saxophone at the ripe age of 9. 
Eleven years later and he switched to Baritone Sax.  Through his grade-school career, he
took lessons on piano, clarinet, baritone horn and bassoon while learning music theory
and counterpoint.
  While studying computer engineering at SUNY Stony Brook in New York,
Malachi found a group of young students who were into producing music and were
looking for a musician to help compose and record their songs.  This was Malachi's
introduction into the world of music production.
  Malachi's studio experience includes interning at BadBoy Records and working at
Real Tyme studios in Ny as well as working in Berklee's MPE studio support.  Also,
Malachi has sat in on three mix sessions with the legendary mix engineer Prince Charles
Alexander as he worked on new Aretha Franklin songs. 
  Recently, Malachi has taken lessons in piano, guitar and drum set in order to
become a well rounded producer and composer.  As practice for the real world, Malachi
works with a different artist almost biweekly, writing, composing and recording songs to
serve as demos for both him and the collaborator.  Also, he keeps on his toes by
volunteering in six recording ensembles so far in which he engineers projects weekly for
current students.
  Currently, Malachi is in correspondence with the A&R department of BadBoy
records.  He creates dozens of tracks for upcoming projects that they may record to
sometime in the near future.
