Reijo Pami
Dreaming Of Being A Tampon
Ultra Eczema #97
LP
£18.99
Massive dose of aural confusion from this Finnish primitivist/prankster/sound artist. Made with little to no instrumentation, content or thematic material whatsoever, Dreaming Of Being A Tampon is up there with Jandek’s Put My Dream On This Planet, some of the Schlimpfluch recordings or the extremes of the Revue Ou series with a set of recordings that move from documents of precisely nada – a tape rolling in an empty room – through sounds of TV and movement on the very periphery of hearing through harsh domestic noise and what sounds like a symphony scored for a microphone inserted into the throat. Despite its wholly negative construction it’s eerily compulsive, which is a testament to the force of character Pami can bring to the sound of almost-silence and non-music, or something... “Only very few people on this planet can get away with what Reijo Pami usually does, luckily! Minimalism has been taken far too serious, though Pami single handed succeeds to change the tooth of time by stretching his arms and demanding a bunch of plastic horses to icebear on contact mic-ed wooden tables all over the planet, resulting in revolutionary simple sound barks! Finland is played by Reijo Pami, the result of left wing parents and children of the revolution refreshing his loud mind. For maximum confusion on most levels, no treatments, no overdubs, no instruments, no money... cheap tapes, open window, some walking. If your body is an elastic you might wanna use it that way too, the muscles of this finnished headbanger are hear-able on this LP, bricks are made ON this record, or do you wanna watch TV on this LP, it's all possible! Chocolate monk and Lal Lal Lal were pioneers in publishing his music earlier, and I am sure this will be the spring hit of 2011! Hand spray painted and stuck on cover design, all covers are a little different.” – UE. Edition of 200 copies, no reissue ever.
