JOSEPH HAMMER

One of my FAVORITE LAFMS releases EVER!  Mesmerizing collaboration between Joseph Hammer of SOLID EYE and Joe Potts of AIRWAY.  Two 20 minute sides of a trance inducing mix of static electronic and tape manipulated tones.  Powerful as fuck...may even be of interest to some of you Harsh Noise Wall fans...  These are original unplayed copies of this low run 2006 release.
 
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!   Treat yourself!
 
"Hard to find even when it was new, these are some of the last remaining copies of this amazing piece of music from the duo of Joe Potts and Joseph Hammer. Rubber stamped labels and clear plastic sleeves adorn the otherwise spartan packaging containing approximately 20 minutes of music per side.  The price reflects the very limited nature of these records; your purchase goes  directly to help fund future LAFMS projects—so buy a lot!  And we’re still cheaper than Discogs!"---LAFMS

"With "I love you please love me too", Joseph Hammer continues his journey into playful yet heavily focused idiot-savant infinite psychedelic inertia. Utilising consumer audio technology and 20th century detritus, Hammer lovingly decodes his passion for mid century sci fi and AM radio station beyond all point of recognition like a snakecharmer. multi-dimensional audio collage techniques to a free form and completely unorthodox plunderphonic hypnosis. Baked devotionals for tape loop minds.

Joseph Hammer, a sound artist from Los Angeles, has actively created experimental works since 1980 as a member of the LAFMS collective. His practice draws on the complexities of the process of listening and playing, reflecting on the role of the audience versus the performer, and uses music as it influences our notion of time, memory and intimacy as the basis for improvisation and abstraction. In various collaborations, solo, and as a founding member of the trio Solid Eye along with several other projects (Joe & Joe, Dinosaurs With Horns, Dimmer, Points of Friction), Hammer has performed widely and is an influential contributor to the Los Angeles underground scene.

The Lp is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, in a limited edition of 330 hand-numbered copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. It is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a two-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with interweaving geometric designs. All artwork by Kathryn Politis and Bill Kouligas."---LABEL DESCRIPTION
