about

RM037

Under the Connive alias, Michael Stumpf (Faithful, Esper Werm, Drosophila, et al) presents cathartic slabs of dense multi-sourced noise straight to your dome.

The self-titled debut tape begins with "Source Bonding" a densely-layered bed of granular synthesis based on a Denis Smalley concept. There is a sound that appears to be in another room, with the door opening every so often to reveal shrieking textures. Connive establishes a sense of stylistic otherness from the get-go, gliding in-between numerous textural and perceptive angles, at times crashing straight through them.

The sound of a tape player is heard and "Senseless Carnage" begins oscillating itself around the listener's environment. A dizzying and gripping piece that lasts over seven minutes and spills into "Cheek of Sorrow", a classic Midwest basement banger (if you know u kno). The tape comes to a close with "Contaminated "by the barracks and the sacristy"", a jarring and impressive 12-minute jam that travels in all directions. Stumpf's creative decisions in-the-moment are what give his compositions power. There is not one idle second on 'Connive' - these four tracks are distinct in their raw energy and direct in their statements.

Available on black cassettes.

Recorded in Chicago, Winter 2019.

"Music is a metaphysical illusion, whose secrets are often felt but never uttered." –Francis Grierson, Celtic Temperament, 1901

"Art and sounds inspired by The San Quentin Project: Nigel Poor and the Men of San Quentin State Prison exhibit that ran from Oct 18, 2018 – Mar 10, 2019 at the Milwaukee Art Museum's Bradley Family Gallery. 'Cheek of Sorrow'/'Senseless Carnage' were both recorded together on February 15th, 2019, my political response to the Aurora, Illinois mass shooting that took place on the same day. 'Source Bonding' is a test study in Denis Smalley's spectromorphological concept of source bonding, or manipulating grain samples of found sound layered with synthetic noise."

It pours...

Some rock splashed over hip hop and trap beats. I really liked Fault and the last song that utilized the Foo Fighters best. This marks the end of my journey through the Bogus Collective discography. It was a great journey that introduced me to such great music and styles that I never heard before. I highly recommend any music lover who has a feeling of adventure and a desire for something different to buy this collection. It’s completely worth it!! Dionysus Virus
