Artist: John Wiese
Song: [last section]
Recorded at 918 Bathurst (Prepare the Ground Festival – Day 3), June 1, 2025.
Prepare the Ground closed out its stay at 918 Bathurst by presenting a full-on noise show on Sunday, culminating in some abrasive sounds from harsh noise walls architect The Rita. Along the way came this abrasive modular set from L.A.'s John Wiese. Very spiky sonics predominated, quiet slurps punctuated by stereophonic percussion bursts. At one level, that gave this the aura of a sort of malicious cartoon foley, but closer attention showed there were some interesting formal choices being made — mostly in constraining the set of source-sounds to create some hypnotically-pulverizing nonlinear repetitions.
