Lucas 'GRANPA' Abela subcriptions



As a 100% DIY artist I’ve thought long and hard about the best way to independently release and distribute my music in the 21st century. Reflecting on that often-repeated conversation on how people wish they could just hand their favourite artists money, I decided to do just that. From here on people who like what I do have a simple way to show their appreciation and support my efforts. For a $10+ donation per year you can access my back catalog and enjoy any new music I make as it’s created. By becoming a subscriber your support will help me continue as an independent working musician helping me; stage international tours, produce new recordings, create installations etc.

The genesis of this is partly due to my creative transition from Justice Yeldham to Granpa. Honestly, the difference between the two is subtle, in both I perform free-noise on shards of broken glass turned into crude musical instruments. The difference being; Yeldham was centered on ecstatic pure improvisation often resulting in maniacal performances, while Granpa is an attempt to rein in the instrument and take it in a more musical direction. My hope is the difference helps dispel some of the negative connotations my bloody forays as Yeldham have created, the blood for some overshadowing what I consider a truly unique musical output. However, it must be told live this transformation is far from complete, Yeldham being the Hyde to Granpa’s Jekyll, occasionally taking over my subconscious.

As part of this I have been making a concerted effort to rehearse, an activity I’ve rarely partaken in my first 20 so years or so of making music. I’ve always felt improvised music should be made in that moment of raw energy that’s produced between performer and their audience. This philosophy has led me to only make music on stage without any preparation beyond making and testing instruments and equipment. An approach that has resulted in some good shows some bad shows and some incredible shows where the power of the performer / audience feedback loop has driven me to perform ecstatic stream of consciousness pure improvisations.

The only problem with this technique is that I rarely remember how I produced this sound or that and can rarely repeat some techniques discovered in the fog of performance. So now as Granpa, I’m trying to find that mean point between true improvisation and being prepared enough to improve my musical output and in doing so hopefully eliminate those occasional bad shows. My new rehearsal regiment has resulting in some unforeseen consequences, non-live recordings, which up until now have been a rarity. Some of these recordings aren’t bad so I thought I should make them available, deciding the subscriber model as the best way to share this output in an equitable way with the people that truly give a shit.

As a noise artist I’ve never been as prolific as others so don’t worry I’m not about to start releasing everything I fart out, these new offerings will be carefully curated from the best moments these sessions produce and then made available to subscriber’s exclusively, along with any new live recordings that emerge and access to my back catalogue including all the Justice Yeldham, Peeled Hearts Paste, DJ Smallcock, Rice Corpse etc releases. Monthly newsletters will let subscribers know when new material is added along with giving details of any up and coming tours and exhibitions.

The first subscriber exclusive material is the recently sold out GAGU tape which was recorded during in a single collaborative session with Rully Shabara (Senyawa / Zoo, Indonesia) and Ramberto Agozolie (Zoo, Indonesia) in Yogyakarta way back in 2010. Heathen Harvest describes the tape as “a series of short convulsive improv jams that are like Ruins meets Melt Banana meets Naked City meets Justice Yeldham. Free-jazzy noise in bite-sized pieces, it displays everything great about Abela’s broken-glass mastery, proving once and for all that it’s way more than a crowd-pleasing schtick”

This should be worth the $10 cover charge alone but along with it you’ll be receiving at least 11 more offerings if not more over the next year. Additionally subscribers will be offered free entry into shows & exhibitions*, discounted physical product when released and carte blanche permission for credited creative common use of anything in my archive for non-commercial activities.

Chinese Article from 2000 finally translated with hilarious results

When i first went travelled china in 1999 i tried to get some gigs by posting (like physical mail) out some music and information to various people who were recommended, but was unsuccessful receiving no replays at all. While there, at a party soon after new year in Jan 2000 i finally met someone into experimental music and after some conversation about my music he said to me 'hey your the guy in the magazine" "what mag" i exclaimed in response "just go to any magazine stand on the street and buy the music magazine with Ricky Martin on the cover" he replied, confused i did just that the next morning and found this article in amongst what you could only describe as an otherwise mainstream music magazine.

For the last 15 years i've had no idea what it said but recently found a site that translates scans, here are the hilarious results.




SUBJAM

In addition to noise and nothing else
Eleven Australian Vendetta Lucas Abela

14 years old Lucas Abela Abela [animal Cass) became interested in experimental music, he dropped skateboard, started playing this weird music. If it happened in China, I am sure that all of the teacher and the Dean's Office long have resigned. But Australia, dagger Lucas this play not only down, but also intensified - door 1993 in Sydney doing a radio program, Lucas made Otomo Yoshihide interview, then he made a sound as the latter again Nirvana album, in near 20. Get parts enroll remixes used again; he was Jon Rose (their mutual friend, to noise electric violin and sampling is known, in 1993 and in 1998 participated in the Beijing International Jazz Festival) in Rotterdam organized by Festival and Otomo Yoshihide same stage, and agreed later to Japan cooperation album Otomo praised him as "extreme DJing division." That same year, Lucas bought from a Japanese tourist in the hands of an A Kombi camping steam
Tone circuit - they rely on each other to touch communication circuit noise. For such a pioneer in improvised music, people, strange ideas may further educating the spirit of improvisation is closely linked with its own, it might lead to more interesting events; dagger Lucas had an appointment with a show organizer, by phone do a show. But when he drove find coffee point after treatment but found the phone has been out of service, and his tires and trapped him in unrighteousness. Lucas drove a flat tire when the car ran ten kilometers of parents turn to when his father refused to lend again inexplicable reason the phone - perhaps his father was right, in order to protect family property - and then went to the nearest phone booth Lucas, toward phone venue Sydney Cafe De Lane screaming for 20 minutes. A group of people swarmed, surprise, funny and difficult to understand, they came and asked, "Ah you in the end doing? And Lucas handed the phone to them, and sped away, leaving these people
Car, and later when he found the wipers can send him heard 'best voice "it is actually a sharp treble eleven eleven then later he started the record company, publishing the first album was released in the name of A IKombi' Story Music under .Drive-by "(1994), more and more recent thing is, Lucas will be before Christmas, as a tourist to Beijing, of course, bring his infamous pile of strange equipment, abundance river boat, the ancestral DoTL, Wang Fan, Zhu Zhenzhong do these Chinese musicians together on the same stage. Simply put, Lucas is playing noise music, people he classified as Electro-acostic Noise, is "electro-acoustic noise." But this has a strange idea of countless people and is often understood as "the voice of an act 'artists, for example, Lucas once and associates Severin (plug Lin) together, in a show naked, genitals top each puncture a Jian Zhen root attached wire-this is the black box noise S invention
Issued a silly question to the telephone to end the show. As for the Otomo Yoshihide Nirvana sound again, it is such that dagger lucas go 'Time Bomb' record store to buy the album, take it home. He tied the CD on the engine gear destroyed, and at the same time recording, video, pictures - "making noise so a fully charged again mix, I prefer to use CD's surface rather than the actual sound CD inside" - the photo After washing out, Lucas put together a box along with the video, the Friends of the small performances brought to him personally. Yes, it is fun, but the company's Web site at Lucas explained the personal album Plover Brand Peeled Hearts Paste ((Xi Bird skinned cardiac sauce, "a self-proclaimed food produced for the treatment of diseases when listening to music) is said:" The album in addition to noise and nothing else, but for Lucas, this means continuing with loud wobbling frequency to attention and create awareness of divinity in this meditation process, Lucas entered
Another universe ruled by the sound, where he was able to exist in a universe in harmony with the bright hope of finding Lucas individual phantom sound internal oracle-like vibration, in order to help him into a higher awareness of the world all-around and reach the intangible of the realm. 'This is amazing, I do not know that he is an expert, or heroes. Lucas certainly attach great importance to personal inner feelings and creativity, in his June 2, 1996, in London Bridge nearby Back space, with a population of wacky musical instrument - through several effects tied around the waist, connected to the turntable pickup movement - issued a large number of non-melodic electronic blasting treble. That fact is sewn turkey with kitchen utensils, is to replace the needle, Lucas called the "mouth work ', he thinks this stuff range sensitive, can come up with a dynamic, mercurial voice, make him in the show in a stream of consciousness state, forget everything around to put them. Now for the feeling and convenience can invent 'mouth work', Lucas will create a different and even invention is known since he tied the DA Ding recorder camping car roof and drove " Play 'and recording since the publication, dagger lucas has invented many fun things, one of the "bridge" and "The Glove' imitate other musicians get more use. 'Bridge ", one of his favorite weapon, because the shape of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is named on an arched steel frame, a number of engine driven by the rapid rotation of the disc, dagger lucas the sword, hunting knives, spits so do the needle on vinyl, circular saw blade, stainless steel plate and sheet friction. The "glove", except the thumb, each finger comes with a stylus for his sampling on record or anything else, he Gloves the stuffed corduroy pants, the result is that he looks like a varicose aliens. In addition to 'bridge' the modified turntables and stylus devices, he also frequently use wind turntables, grinding knife with a stylus, multi-loop machine needle and other "sound nihilism tool". Lucas is not afraid of the audience feel ridiculous, he prefers to be referred to as entertainers and not musicians. He thinks too much noise music sound cruel but because the audience does not adapt, "the audience is by no means come to bear. I want to give the audience an interesting show. This meditation he likes the noise, but also on the character and the game-he even likes to do about the scene of Techno, because "the audience will not like that stupid noise away like polite applause at the show," he wanted the audience to see the music the conceptual motivation, listening to the sound of things behind. About his record company, Dual Plover ("Two Birds"), the word comes from Japanese into English, means "double-headed dildo ,, but in the bottom of the comment trademark but is 'One Bird Ding .w Stones' ( A bird two stone ', which is said everything in their recording, publishing, policy issuance album - looks both like a conspiracy, funny and very recently, the company's major event is the publication of Lucas new album Rebirth Of Fool ("stupid Resurrection").

GAGU new Tape collaboration between Lucas Abela, Rully Shabara and Ramberto Agozolie.

When I asked seasoned free-noise performer Lucas Abela (Justice Yeldham, Australia) to submit a tape to NO RENT I half expected a recording of one of his no holds barred glass shattering performances. Instead he surprised me with a collection of micro improvisations titled ‘Gagu’, which were recorded in Yogyakarta, Indonesian five years ago with Rully Shabara (Senyawa / Zoo, Indonesia) and Ramberto Agozolie (Zoo, Indonesia).
The Gagu (meaning mute in Indonesian) session was initially set up as a collaboration between Abela and the Indonesian punk band Zoo but unfortunately (or not considering the results) the remaining two members of Zoo were not able to attend. So the glass/vocals/drums trio forged on and laid down these twenty-eight frenetic tracks that bridge between, free jazz, dadaesque poetry and abstract noise.

IV:BPM will debut in New York at ‘Anxious Spaces II: Installation as Catalyst’ on the 5th July 2015 at the Knockdown Center in Queens NY, curated by Clocktower ProductionsJoe Ahearn & Alanna Heiss the exhibition explores how installations can facilitate & inspire performance.

IV:BPM is a participatory instrument / installation that uses IV drips as the percussive source for a set of portable single beat organic drum machines. Forested together this mass of IV stands will generate overlapping beats coming from a multitude of directions to form complex surround polyrhythmic compositions that are unique to each individual’s binaural experience of the space. The audience will be able to further personalise their experience by intervening with the instrument in three ways; adjusting the IV nozzles to change the BPM, manipulating audio effects platters unique to each stand to augment the sounds and shift the stands within the space to alter the mix. These participatory elements turn the installation into an instrument/drum machine orchestra, performed en mass by random public attendees.

Sleeve notes

DODO IS A DOG
And other song tourettes adventures

"When Lucas’ mind is idle he has a strange habit of bursting into song, sometimes your ordinary ear worm but most of the time original lyrics in the form of stings, only a few bars long - I’ve come to describe them as his song tourettes. None of the songs are thought out, they just simply stream from his mouth without warning. For my last two birthdays he decided to write down the lyrics for some of the most memorable, and in some instances wrote additional verses before sending them to Magic Key Productions, a song poem company in Hollywood who put music to lyrics, and these are the results…"

Please pledge for Senyawa LP

Jogjakarta’s Senyawa uniquely manage to embody the aural flavours of Javanese music whilst exploring the framework of experimental music practice, pushing the boundaries of both traditions. In doing so their music strikes a perfect balance between their avant-garde influences and cultural heritage to create truly contemporary Indonesian music.

Their sound is comprised of Rully Shabara’s deft extended vocal techniques punctuating the frenetic neo-tribalism of instrument builder, Wukir Suryadi’s modern-primitive instrumentation. Inventions like his handcrafted ‘Bamboo Spear’; a thick stem of bamboo strung up with percussive strips of the plant’s skin along side steel strings. Amplified it fuses elements of traditional Indonesian instrumentation with garage guitar distortion. Sonically dynamic, the instrument can be rhythmically percussive on one side whilst being melodically bowed and plucked on the other.

The duo has been performing together since 2010 when Wok The Rok dared them into doing an impromptu improvisation. The unlikely combination of Wukir’s bent traditionalism with Rully’s dada-esque vocalisations was immediately arresting. Wowing not only the audience, both musicians knew then and there that they had stumbled onto something incredibly special.

They quickly began composing music together and shortly after released their debut self titled album on Wok The Rok‘s seminal label, Yes No Wave. They also started to perform together extensively, touring Indonesia several times over to become a formidable live act. Their mesmerizing live show quickly attracted considerable attention for an Indonesian underground act. In no time at all they began to receive invitations to perform at festivals in Australia and Europe including Hobart’s MONA FOMA, the Adelaide Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, the Glatt und Verkert Festival in Austria, Malmo Sommarscen Festival in Sweden, Oct Loft Jazz Festival in China, they even toured Australia nationally as special guests of Regurgitator.

 Dualplover and The Volcanic Winds Project are planning to co-release the band’s first vinyl LP and we need your help to raise the funds to make it a reality. You can either pledge for fun, Mp3's or a copy of the eventual LP amongst other rewards.

BALLS FOR CATHULU

BALLS FOR CATHULU “loud, ingenious and unbelievably satisfying to play” - Gail Priest, REALTIME. A pentagram shaped pinball game emblazoned with fluorescent graphics by the Rev Kriss Hades depicting the lord of the deep ones. A multiplayer pinball game with five players stationed at each of the stars five points. The outer triangular walls of the star are made from ten guitars with their fret boards facing inward into the playfield, while in the central pentagon ten pop bumpers are connected to a drum machine. These are all connected to various audio effects triggered by targets positioned throughout the game. So when the balls bounce off the strings distorted open tunings are produced while the pop bumpers accompany the din with a chaotic drum solo.

Objet inusité @ Eastern Bloc, Montréal Starts Today

19 - 22 December 2012
OBJET INUSITÉ
International Summit on Audio Art

Eastern Bloc, in collaboration with Suoni per il popolo festival, presents Objet Inusité, an international summit bringing together 15 artists and curators from Montreal and abroad, to collectively explore and discuss the audio/visual aspects of digital art through non-screen based practices. Through exploratory workshops and site-specific installations and performances, particular emphasis is placed on audio art practices that use the "object" as interface, concentrating on objects of an uncommon/non-standard/residual nature. This 4-day event will explore how objects, imbued with a persona, may be activated by their user to take on a life of their own, in a performative or installation context. The presented works seek to examine how the activation of these objects allow for a spontaneous, accidental materialization of the hidden persona of these otherwise inanimate objects. They look at how an object, whether of a discarded or useful nature, can take on a cultural relevance, and how that cultural relevance can be reinterpreted and re-appropriated for an artistic context.

With: Lucas Abela (AU), Thomas Bégin (CA), Peter Blasser (US), Peter Flemming (CA), Gambletron (CA), Jean-Pierre Gauthier (CA), Jeremy Gordaneer (CA), Darsha Hewitt (CA), Yann Leguay (BE/FR), Maxime de la Rochefoucauld (CA) and Keiko Uneishi (US)

Vinyl Rally @ Lueften Festival (Frankfurt)

The vinyl rally is an large-scale installation combining sound art, video art and kinetic sculpture into every kid and kidult’s dream-hybrid; an immersive participatory play-set playing off vinyl fetishism, video arcade mystique and the machismo of motor sports in a video game played within a real world setting!


Classic first person video racing is simulated as remote control cars with styli attached, race across a track constructed from a mass of disused vinyl records. Transmitting sound (produced as the styli skim along the vinyl surface) and vision (from wireless spy cameras mountedto the front of each car) to reengineered old school racing consoles with immersive 50” flat screens. Here players navigate the course from the vehicles point of view, not only controlling the cars movements, but also the parameters of the resulting sounds they create via a series of unique audio effects mounted onto the dashboard (by Last Gasp Laboratories) giving each car its own distinct aural flavour. These sounds are emitted from speakers built into the seats causing them to vibrate in correspondence with the movements on screen, producing a personally immersive experience aurally, visually and physically that can only be truly appreciated seated at the controls.

Pinball Pianola (showing off)

I’ve devised a Frankenstein experiment, combining the greatest musical invention of all time, the Piano; with the coolest amusement machines ever conceived; Pinball, to create an interactive sound installation like no other; ‘Pinball Pianola’, a musical device constructed by replacing the keyboard, hammers and front paneling of an upright piano, with a pinball cabinet butted up perpendicular against its exposed strings. Embracing high and low culture this instrument allows virtuosos and wizards alike to pit their skills in a game where musical compositions are created as metallic balls jettisoned into the game clash with the pianos resonating wires. This experiment the first of in a series of individually crafted instruments I’m constructing at Artspace as part of my Australia Council music board project fellowship that introduce musical elements into the iconic game of pinball, making sound generation - not scoring - the games’ main objective.




The work will be shown for the very first time* at the Artspace open studio (not gallery upstairs level 2 enter door to right as you enter) form 6pm til 8pm 25th May and all day 11am to 5pm on Saturday the 26th.

Senyawa's Second Album

Senyawa are an experimental music duo made up of Rully Shabara (extended vocal technique) and Wukir Suryadi (homemade instrument). Who create music is a combination of extended vocal technique and a homemade instrument. The instrument was handcrafted by master instrument builder Wukir out of one long piece of bamboo, it is a string instrument with guitar pick-ups—it is amplified and processed through several effects pedals but at times is played as an acoustic instrument, percussion instrument or bowed like a cello.

YNK #14: Senyawa - Pasca from Yes No Klub on Vimeo.

VINYL RALLY @ Palais de Tokyo (Paris) April 2012

In conjunction with Sonic Protest, the The vinyl rally has been selected to be part of the reopening celebrations of Paris’ prestigious Palais de Tokyo in April where it will be presented from 12pm on the 12th to Midnight on the 13th for a 36 hour non-stop exhibition. However the work is only one of many filling the three story complex during this massive event and sadly our allocated budget only covers half our estimated budget to Build, Maintain and Staff my proposed track design that careers (see below) over the 3rd floor stairwell. Therefore I’m hoping to raise AUD$3000 to help cover this shortfall with a pozible crowd source. Hopefully you can help me overcome this financial hurdle so I can showcase the work in its best possible light at this amazing exhibition.



To pledge simply visit



if you already have a facebook account logging on is as simple as a click otherwise joining pozible is not to hard.
Thanks in advance and fingers crossed we get over the line.

Justice Yeldham 12" Picture Disc


dualpLOVER has decided to release a Justice Yeldham picture disc as a must have souvenir item for the upcoming Justice Yeldham tour of Europe in April. To realise this release we need to raise AUD$1500 to cover the minimum pressing of 250 units, and have decided to crowd soucre the project using a pre-sale model to make sure all copies have good homes before we even press the record. Our prices start at a little above cost for people able to pick up the discs in person during the tour.
