TITLE And Answer
LABEL Minus
CAT MINUS036
A1. And Answer
A2. Pandrip
B1. Egress
B2. No That
The sound and background of GAISER delves from an upbringing deep in percussion. Starting out as a drummer in his teen years, he played with bands behind a kit. What interested him even more though was experimenting with drum machines and he learned a balance between digital and real world instruments. Living in and around Michigan (Detroit for a few years) JON GAISER frequented the music and underground parties from Detroit, citing heavy influences from the Plus 8 and Minus events during the mid-1990’s onward. Through the kick drums, flailing blips and static, ‘And Answer’ introduces GAISER’S playful sound of finesse and seduction with rhythm. Animated but controlled, his grasp on multiple elements of tone is enticing as it is anxious. The title cut slaps your ears around with anticipated smacks of shaped noise and dark notes that growl and groan. ‘Pandrip’ creeps along with its bouncing bassline, horns and barely transmitted stuttering voices from outer space. Another highlight, ‘Egress’ plays hide and seek with slices of words and notes, actively playing the atmosphere above while keeping the music grounded with bass and beats. Signing off without a hitch, the B2 track, ‘No That’ bubbles, drips & pours out with drifts of delayed subtleties that put him in line with sonic marksmen like Matthew Herbert and Akufen. With live shows on the burner for 2006, keep an ear out for this producer. (http://www.covert.uk.com/choons.cfm?max=yes&ar=Gaiser)
