UCR1004: WaterBloop - Chimes at Midnight



The imagined live sound of WaterBloop, 20:27 3" CD-R from 2002. A two person free jam on wood flute, plastic guitar, clarinet, pianola harp, accordian and windwand which is then deconstituted, processed and played back into the mix live via magnetic tape.

"Waterbloop is a free jazz kind of band, starting with an explosion of acoustic scream-noise and then going into a quiet, naked, searching section that I'm kind of digging. The saxes and flutes and whatnot work their way back in, dropping little quick caterwauls and yelps, and it all builds into some dense scuffle, without falling prey to tired and easy soft-loud juxtapositions. Wow, and it eventually gives way to a psychedelic/electronic kind of mood! They're the first jazzish band I've heard to specifically remind of New Zealand's CM Ensemble." -Larry Dolman, Blastitude Magazine

"Chimes at Midnight is amazing, I'm scared to even write a one sentence review of it. It haunts me." -Dr. Marvin Samhans

"Waterbloop stole our ideas and made them ten times better! Chimes at Midnight is so cool we want to destroy it!" -Deconstructing Allan Parsons

"Sort of Peter Brotzmann's 'Machine Gun' meets Hawkwind." -C.M. Sienko
