{"product_id":"jerman-barnes-the-fingerd-remove","title":"JERMAN BARNES - The Finger'd Remove","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJerman Barnes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sounds like a fancy men's shoe brand, but it's actually a duo comprised of two of the American underground's most prolific wanderers -- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeph Jerman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Barnes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Jeph has explored everything from primitively brilliant free jazz with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlowhole\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to deep electronic explorations under the name \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHands To\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, although in the latter part of the 1990s he shifted his focus to music made with found natural objects. Tim Barnes entered our consciousness as fluent master of experimentally canted percussion before he threw us a curve by joining \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Valentine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTower Recordings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ensemble and going deep-prole for a while. Regardless, he and Jeph started releasing duo recordings almost 15 years ago, and they all brim with a very specific type of spectral weirdness. The instruments listed in the credits are: metal, bamboo temple blocks, springboard, wood, feathers and electrics. Furthermore the sho is played by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKo Ishikawa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. So what about the three horn players pictured on the cover? In fact, they are \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Bruck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRamón Del Buey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMisha Marks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. This ensemble is briefly heard as distorted source material on the a-side (a penny to the first listener who finds them), but it turns out for this project they're mostly just dancers who use the horns as props, visually key to the process; aurally, not as much. But as you listen to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Finger'd Remove\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e you'll probably start to wonder, 'Hey, where are the instruments not listed? Because surely that's the sound of a dead horse full of bees being dragged down gravel road. Or, wow -- a Texas rain-toilet.' Right? Well, Jeph and Tim aren't saying, but maybe it's just that there are instruments too complicated to notate. Dig? The wild collection of sounds here are designed to live primarily in your imagination. Do you really need to name all that stuff? Our suspicion is you'll be just fine if you lay back, close your eyes, and open your mind to the infinite possibilities suggested here. Words are just too drab to fully capture it all.\" - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eByron Coley.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Feeding Tube","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":13056562626623,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/FTR375LP_CU.jpg?v=1571718519","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/jerman-barnes-the-fingerd-remove","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
