halfnormal ::: Damned Piano // Ende Tymes V // gig Feb 28

[Bob Bellerue]

hi all



some great things happening: 

- my new double-LP "Damned Piano" will be out soon. 

- i'm playing amplified piano at Prospect Range on Feb 28. 

- Ende Tymes V will be May 13-17, and we have a fundraiser running on Indiegogo. 



::new double-LP announcement::

Bob Bellerue "Damned Piano" 2xLP will be released March 13 2015, and is available for pre-order and digital download

"Damned Piano" is amplified piano played with feedback and resonance.  Recorded by Patrick Higgins at Future Past Studios, the sounds range from pure minimal drones to brazen storms of acousmatic fury.  A simple circuit that moves mountains and cleaves minds.  Released in a numbered edition of 200 with gatefold jackets, letter press printing by Patrick Cole, and photography by Alexander Perrelli. 

Some reviews: 
"black-toned universe of creepily-calm, subconsciously-urgent music....the monster it spawns is as complex as music gets." Marc Masters / Pitchfork

"Raw, orchestral fury. Imminent, dark weather patterns. Hijacked dreams taken from the inner mind." Eric Wood / Bastard Noise

"showcases Bellerue at his most determined and resolute." Yeezus Walks With Me

"His music is intense, and he uses physical space to affect the trajectory of his noise compositions, which are improvised, expansive, and harsh." AdHoc

"Damned Piano proffers rich, understated rumble that occasionally gives way to towering showers of sparks or lonesome cable-car rides across abysses." Splice Today
