Geoff Mullen • Blitter vs. Hrvatski • Acid Causality

Happy to report that, after extended periods in structural limbo (12.5, 25, & 5 years, respectively) four album projects have hit the apps in full regalia: the fourth duo release with G.O.A.T. New England Tonmeister Geoff Mullen, the (thought) long-lost “Blitter vs. Hrvatski” recordings, & the two-part “Acid Causality” suite; YouTube™ embeds above/below, or streaming virtually everywhere else.

Geoff Mullen & Keith Fullerton Whitman” was to be a 2LP release on the Mimaroglu Music/Sales in-house label no in late 2010 & was postponed indefinitely following the demise of our pressing plant. The four pieces heard here channel our shared love of Minimal-Synth (Seesselberg was a huge touchstone) & Broken-Music lineage chicanery to yield woozy, room-enveloping walls of synthesized sound.

Recorded outdoors in front of the Lucy Parsons Center in Cambridge, MA on September 4th 1998 (as part of a Toneburst event) & WFMU on March 3rd, 2000, “Blitter vs. Hrvatski” restores two early performances of decentralized digital music channeled by the Whitman brothers in real time; first on hard-panned, hand-played, & un-sequenced MPC 2000 & S3000XL samplers & “Luggable” Commodore SX-64 & second a suite of early software (Stella9000 by Koblo IIRC) improvisations. Includes our smash hit ‘Nuclear Cats Get New Home.’

Finally, the two Acid Causality releases present a suite of post-Generator pieces recorded 2018-2019 based around the timbral palettes of “Golden-era” techno & electro, with the (L) title on Lo-Fi live/in situ realizations & the (H) focusing on Hi-Fi home/studio works. Shout-Out to Calum Gunn of Conditional Records for all of his hard work & drive in getting the latter into its current state; that so much raw clay has here alchemized into its ultra-polished form is a testament to his dedication.

So happy that these four albums are out in the world; please go ahead and give them a listen in/on your app/platform of choice, in your own time (see the post below & click of each/any of the logos for direct links!)
