Pimmon - Waves And Particles

From Allmusic.com : "The folded and chopped, glitchy ambient of Sydney, Australia's Paul Gough and his Pimmon project can be traced back to a mid-'80s obsession with Severed Heads and a self-released cassette packaged in a mangled safety boot wrapped in plastic. Raising a family in the suburbs of Sydney, Gough found work as a senior engineer for a popular radio station but continued creating experimental laptop electronica in his home studio. After the non-response to his first cassette, Gough sat on his recordings at first, but a hesitant entry into a turntablist exhibition at the Tenement Gallery in Melbourne changed everything. At the urging of the galleries owners, Gough sent a CD-R to the Japanese Meme label. Meme released Pimmon's debut CD Waves and Particles in 1999 and Kid 606 offered Gough a deal with his Tigerbeat 6 label after hearing an Internet broadcast of the album. 2001 saw the release of Electronic Tax Return on Tigerbeat 6 and the CD and MP3 set Assembler on the Irish label Fällt. Live appearances around the world followed along with releases on Staalplaat and Sirr afterward. Pimmon's relationship with Tigerbeat 6 resumed with the release of Snaps Crackles Pops in 2003."

"Waves And Particles" was released by Meme in 1999.

Pimmon - Assembler

From www.fallt.com : "Assembler n. 1 a person who assembles a machine or its parts. 2 Computing a a program for converting instructions written in low-level symbolic code into machine code. b the low-level symbolic code itself; an assembly language.

'Assembler' is Sydney based artist Pimmon's first release on Fällt. His past releases have included 12"s on both Fat Cat and ERS; solo CDs on (K-RAA-K)3 and Meme; a live recording on Ritornell (with Pita, Fennesz, Oren Ambarchi and Keith Rowe) and an MP3-only release on Mego sub-label Fals.ch.

Comprising four separate components, 'Assembler' was conceived from the outset to be an ongoing release which pushed beyond the confines of a standalone CD. In addition to the core CD component, MP3 files, SimpleTextAudio™ by Japanese Media Artist and Fällt contributing editor Otaku Yakuza, and Graphic Scores by Fällt designers Fehler (who also designed 'Assember's' packaging), are available at the 'Assembler' website for free download.

Twelve static-soaked compositions which work both independently and as a suite, 'Assembler' is cinematic in both scope and execution. The most exquisite melodies are buried under dense layers of static which, like diamonds hidden within silt, reward close listening. Veering from the trademark stuttering pulses of the opening '%macro.prologue' to the gently unravelling fanfare of 'xlat' it reaches a peak in the buried melodies of 'repeat', which Mego's Pita described simply as, "Fine stuff!"

'Assembler' is an ongoing release which features web-based mixes and audio patches by a variety of collaborators. Past additions to this have included Fehler vs. Pimmon's 'The Diazepam Suite', currently playing at rand()%."

"Assembler" was released by Fällt in 2000.

Fällt Directions 2001

From www.fallt.com : "The 'Directions' Series provides an overview of work by selected Fällt artists - both from forthcoming releases and works in progress. Each release consists of four artists contributing three tracks each and features artwork by Fällt designers Fehler printed on transparent offset-litho film.

In late 2000 the URL for a series of MP3s was forwarded to us via an anonymous remailer by an artist working under the name 'Ted Sulkowicz'. We could find no reference to Sulkowicz or his 'Hotel California'-sampled 'Kid_Newtown' (released on Fällt digital sub-label Fodder) anywhere.

Who is the mysterious Mr Sulkowicz? Rumours abound, including one: that it is none other than Australian prankster Pimmon. Whoever, whatever; responses to the first Fodder release have been overwhelmingly positive. You listen, you decide.

Since 1998 Mathieu’s work has focussed on the digital processing of acoustic events, a process he describes as: "extracting sounds from homoeopathic vibrations at their source." The results of these explorations have been nothing short of startling with incredibly focussed tracks which retain the essence of the works they sample while sounding nothing like them.

'Frequency Lib.' is the culmination of this process and includes digital extracts of work by, amongst others: Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Kiss, Fats Waller, Hot Chocolate, Queen, Kraftwerk, The BeeGees, Captain Beefheart, The Beach Boys and Elvis Presley.

Warm analog dustscapes by former New Zealand based musician Aut. "All source material has been retrieved from the detritus of vinyl LPs and 7" singles collected over the years. The material itself ranges from discarded rock records and musical soundtracks to more 'serious' music including contemporary avant-garde improvisation and drone recordings."

Digital processing has rendered much of the original material unidentifiable, however due to the nature of these fragments, they may be recalled by some listeners. "Offcuts from surrendered vinyl."

'Directions 2001' closes with three sketches from Pimmon, the second of which 'Yemdatem' was subsequently featured on Pimmon's first release on Tigerbeat6 'Electronic Tax Return'."

Lowercase [2 x CD Boxset]

From Allmusic.com : "Steve Roden used the word "lowercase" in a 1998 interview to describe his own sound esthetic. The term sparked something and sound artists from all over the world gathered in the lowercase-sound discussion group, widening the possible definition of what has become known as a style, for better or worse. Lowercase is a form of composition that focuses on attentive listening and microscopic sounds."

Pimmon - Copper Hats

From Discogs.com : "Pimmon is Paul Gough, an Austalian artist. The name Pimmon acts as an empty canvas for Gough's otherworld soundscapes.

The sound of Pimmon? Buzzes and blips, distorted rumbles, ghosts of melody, radar pulses, glitched ambience all are melted into an unpredictable slab of sound that fluctuates on and off.

Minimal and maximised sounds weave without sounding unfocused. Microscopic worlds that are zoom-lensed into grainy focus, alien and yet vaguely familiar, an emotive call from the distance."

"Copper Hats" is Pimmon's 1st album. It was released by Freedom From in 1997.
