JIM O'ROURKE & CHRISTOPH HEEMANN Plastic Palace People Vol. 1
(2011 UK CD album - An album of previously unreleased recordings
that go back as far as 1991 when Jim O'Rourke had just graduated
from music school and travelled to Aachen, Germany to meet
Christoph Heemann, who had just set up his studio there. Both The
Elvis Messiahs - Jim's first band from school days - and Christoph's
H.N.A.S. were in their final stages, and both collaborators felt the
desire to explore different directions, drawing inspiration from their
wide ranging musical interests and varying backgrounds. 'Volume
One' presents an intense three part journey, a mix of granular
synthesis and concrete sounds reshaped and reassembled. More
details to follow...)
