CAUCHY RIEMANN
FIELD THEORIST C12 (ltd 28)

Those who may have heard cauchy riemann in the past should try to take another look if they didn't get the vibe. Dense, dense, and full range harsh sounds here. No more amatuerish twiddling, just dense, sharp, and peircing 6 minute pieces on this release. In my opinion this tape start your experience with the harsher side of this project.
CAUCHY RIEMANN AND PEASANT GRAVES (COLLABORATION)
WITHOUT HOPE OR CAUSE C20 (ltd 50)
Collaborative recording about six months in the making through the mail, cauchy riemann from kent and peasant graves in columbus. Peasant Graves has been under the radar for awhile, self releasing a couple cdrs to favorable results, with his recent cdr, Decay, gathering the following review: "a slow low drone sounds and loops from the distance, rising and falling like the slow breath of an old man...A slow almost siren starts ringing warning you of something; very distant at first, then slightly louder, then nothing" (Pointless Blank). Same effort here. One man bass, hi fidelity, and slow ass drones. Cauchy Riemann hits it a little less sporadically this time, showing more of a mature, thought out sound. Complimenting side ones sludging bass lines with some thick guitar and some home built lo fi junk/hex inverter sounds, and side two gets layed out with some thicker guitar and full on modular synth with the bass drones.

DROUGHTER
YOUNG HARM C12 (ltd 50)

Harsh noise from this prolific san francisco ripper. No frills, no experimenting or twiddling. Yellow cassettes.
REVIEW(S):
From Blastbeats for Freedom: "This is pure and simple harsh noise made by pure and simple means and done in a very effective way. I'm talking contact mics, distortion pedals, feedback, a tape recorder, and 12 minutes to kill. I'm totally into the burly as fuck lo-fi production too. Both sides are dominated by overpowering low-mids and sloppy mush but they still manage to sound huge and oppressive"

THE SLEEP SESSIONS AND CAUCHY RIEMANN
(SPLIT)
THE ENDLESS WINTER C20 (ltd 50)

Side A brings us some high frequency static warmed pedal noise coming straight from Poland courtesy of The Sleep Sessions. Side B brings Cauchy Riemann, with an overwhelming, crushing modular synth wall. Clear cassettes.

KNOX MITCHELL AND CAUCHY RIEMANN
(SPLIT)
WHAT IS LEARNED 3" cdr (ltd 20)

Young frontrunner of Green Records, Knox Mitchell, delivers some scratch and scum through broken cables and amps. Cauchy Riemann rips it with broken glass and contact mics. 10 have one cover, the other 10 have the negative of the cover. Painted discs. Also available through Green Records.

CAUCHY RIEMANN AND SICK TO THE BACK TEETH(COLLABORATION)
ILLNESS TRANSFER C20 (ltd 30)



Haunting. Then it picks up. What the hell is up with the piano stabs that go into some high pitch squeal...oh well. it builds, breaks down, climaxes too early and then does it again. black tapes, puke green splatter.

REVIEW(S):

From Blastbeats for Freedom: "I'm really enjoying the airplane nosedive sounds and squawking feedback...Synth slime slowly building and evolving very intense, very ominous shit"

ISRAELI INTELLEGENCE & CAUCHY RIEMANN (COLLABORATION)
UNTITLED C20 (ltd 30)



Squeaks and electronics breaking, with loads of static, circuit bent casios and pedal noise. home built everything. loads of high pitches on this one. black tapes, yellow splatter.

REVIEW(S):
From Blastbeats for Freedom: "There's a lot of my beloved synth chirp to be found on side A along with some jet engine distortion, buried scuzzed out vocals, and damaged guitar drowning in reverb. Side B is a much deeper, monolithic venture with crumbling distortion and tea kettle electronics"
