about

Zen Horseplay is a double-sided slab of weirdly catchy experimental noise. It's your one-stop-shop for harsh hypnotic DIY meditations, thundering eruptions of dayglo outsider artrock, and really excellent track titles.

The first half of Zen Horsplay features, amongst the audio detritus:

- Jagged, distorted drone
- Swirling, churning feedback
- Shards of almost-melody rising and dropping away, reverb-drenched and echoing, valiantly attempting to resurface even as they’re pushed back under by the malevolent screeching sonics
- Howling squeals and distant rumblings
- Electronoise interpolations
- Rolling avalanches of static and hissing white noise evolving into primitive pulsing call and response
- Bathroom vocalisations
- Demented noise-smeared distorto-idiot bluespunk

(Note: The last word there was going to be blues-punk but the missing hyphen is more appropriate.)

For tracks 1-6, H. Anthony Hildebrand takes full responsibility.

The zen half of Zen Horseplay, Kodrix's recordings were driven by curiosity and a couple of new pedals - the Boss GT-1 and the Boss DD-8.

A rollicking release, these tracks answer questions like:
- Is a DD-8 pedal capable of making anything dancy?
- How much delay and distortion does it take to make the kalimba sound like a gateway to hell?
- Do you really need a modular synth or can you just use an 8 channel mixer?
- What do they call the plastic air bubbly thing they shipped that glass jar of pickled garlic in?
- Does holding a quarter-inch jack to a contact mic help you search for satellite signals?
- Does anyone really say "dope" anymore?

Tracks 7 thru 12 May Contain the Following:
Air Pillow, Broken Plastic Desk Organizer, Djembe, Hand Snare, Jaw Harp, Nail, PRS 277 Baritone Electric Guitar, Tin Can, Wood Tone Block with Mallet.

This is great industrial ambient album. The low ruble augmented by sheering metal scrapes with crescendo screeching high notes is perfect for my listening pleasure. Listened to both track twice before buying album and writing this review. SKULL FACE Rating: 10/10 SKULL FACE
