DAMION ROMERO - FEEDBACK IN A LOVERS TELEGRAPH [HARBINGER SOUND, UK, 2002]
Damion Romero is a sound artist/sculptor and visual artist from Los Angeles. Romero's main focus is with "resonant electro-acoustic feedback systems" using audio power amplifiers and a variety of transducers and "feedback regenerators" of his own design. The goal is to saturate the atmosphere with natural acoustic standing waves and pulses, large sounds, that are affected (or held in place) by very small movements in order to magnify an (as of yet) indescribable phenomenon.Public performances have taken place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, Seattle, New York, Tokyo, Osaka, And Matsuyama. His work under the name Speculum Fight has been released on numerous record labels worldwide.
In addition to performance and recordings of Damion's sound work, he has also been actively using similar feedback techniques to produce visual artwork. These are visible patterns on paper (and other flat media) created directly by sound waves. Some of these works have appeared in a handful of solo and group shows in Los Angeles and Seattle, and also reside in the Collection of Eileen and Peter Norton, Santa Monica.
This recording [easily] makes my top 10 drone albums of the decade.
Wonderful and tough to find.

yeah. really nice posting. speculum fight is the shit as is the astromero stuff... it's good to see this amongst the other posts you have on here, from the NZ stuff to the La Monte... a nice conversation... do you have more of romero's stuff that is hard to get a hold of? nice work, man.
Yeah, I have another super-limited Romero I plan to put up, but I have to find it amongst this avalanche of CDs I brought home from my storage unit. :)
It's just as good as "Feedback In A Lovers Telegraph." Although it is a weird shaped disc, and I believe the track is only 20-25 minutes in duration.
But, still, really, really great stuff.
Thanks a lot for dropping by and commenting. I appreciate it.

yeah he did some time-lapse tibetan doom shit when I played with him last year... every object became much, much heavier than they normally are. fixed and transfixed by an exaggerated gravitational pull...
