Format: LP + CD Label & Cat.Number: Denoval Records - DEN 158 Release Year: 2013 Note: last copies of the first collaboration release between archaic guitar droner "N" (HELLMUT NEIDHARDT) and JIM CAMPBELL (aka RRILL BELL), with one long live track from 2008 on the CD, merging guitar drones, low fi synths, tapes.. "as if N's sustained guitar had been mangled through a computer by some strange wizard. but in fact all you can hear happened in real time..." - lim. 100 copies only !! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €32.00 More Info TAPE MEASURE KID is the new live-playing duo of N, amps + guitar, and Jim Campbell (aka the preterite, www.the-preterite.com), lofi samplers, modified analog 4-track recorder and effects. On their double debut releases “Ours Is A Stubborn Monster” and “Zero Is An Even Number” they expand N's drone / ambient style to something that is at the same time drone and beyond drone, including a sort of dark and sometimes weird improv tendency. very unique and for some of you maybe as if N's sustained guitar had been mangled through a computer by some strange wizard. but in fact all you can hear happened in real time, with a cable feeding the guitar signal to jim's cassette scratch orchestra, with the possibility of real-time manipulation while playing, cutting loose from boundaries. Both records show this special live-appeal of TAPE MEASURE KID, with the live-in-studio material on the vinyl part and the live-on-stage cuts on the CD part of both releases. Thick covers printed on rough cardboard, 180g black vinyl, CD contains bonus material, strictly limited to 100 pieces. https://n1511.bandcamp.com/album/tape-measure-kid-ours-is-a-stubborn-monster
