Description
Witcyst- Loopious Musek/Argoy LATHE CUT 7" Record (Extemporization) No cover art
Super micro edition early Witcyst 7" Lathe cut, this was Peter King's test cut in doing a run of 20 copies of this single for Mr. Witcyst back in the 1990's. This copy, I suppose obviously, does not include the hand made cover created by Witcyst. Of course it's unlikely that one of those 20 copies with covers will ever surface here on eBay.Whangarei, New Zealand's Witcyst has been making tapes, homemade CD's and micro edition lathe records and CD's since the late 80's or early 90's. Witcyst has released works on Insample, Crawlsapce, Witcyst's own labels Extemporanious & Lifespace, Norway's Humbug, Canada's Bennifer Editions, NZ's Root Don Lonie For Cash as well as appearing on Corpus Hermeticum's Le Non Jazz, a split on Wolf Eyes' American Tapes with The Spyke and compilations from Bananafish, Celebrate/Psi/Phenomenon, Drunken Fish, Pseudo Arcana and more.
7" is MINT- (I consider all new lathe discs as mint- because the nature of lathe discs is that some surface noise will be present, this is normal to the process of making the discs)/Cover is a plain white sleeve and zip lock bag.
A quick note about changes to the US Postal Services international postage rates for packages: I'm sorry to say that as of 2013 the US Postal Service has significantly raised the cost of shipping packages (even to Canada). Unfortunately this is affecting all US sellers and international buyers. My shipping prices reflect the new shipping costs and the eBay fees for the shipping you pay as well as packaging material (I do try to recycle when I can but that's not too often). If the US Postal Service reduces rates, I will adjust them to reflect fair postage for international buyers.
"Few possess the abilities to warrant releasing quadruple-CDs (yet it's a pity the incidence of vanity is inversely proportional); if anyone could get away with it at several-week intervals without adding an iota of distress to the world's reserves, it would be Witcyst. Hype? Bite Me. What these New Zealanders can do with a synthesizer and a few samples of balloon noise is enough to base a new civilization on, where intermission and curtain calls do not exist, where perpetual are the floor shows in which refuse and discarded leftovers combine into new, entropy-flummoxing worm-kings, where dependable sunspot fountains lick our faces when we sleep." (Seymor Glass, Bananafish 15)
Witcyst developed in relative seclusion in New Zeland, simultaniously with fellow avanteers in NZ and worldwide including Pumice CJA, Birchville Cat Motel, Total, A Handful of Dust, John Oswald, John Weise, Armpit, Peter Wright, Pumice, Bastard Noise, John Duncan, Wolf Eyes, JOMF, Tower Recordings, Six Organs of Admittance, MV/EE, The Sunburned Hand of the Man etc. and in the wake of people like The Dead C, Gate, Christian Marclay, Sonic Youth, The Hafler Trio, Nocturnal Emissions, Oren Ambarchi, :zoviet*france:, etc. Witcyst has appeared on releases on Celebrate Psi Phenomenon, Insample, Humbug, Bennifer, Drunken Fish, Corpus Hermeticum, Pseudo Arcana (PseudoArcana) & Root Don Lonie For Cash.
Noise (dot) as says:
Roslyn the first CD release from Witcyst comes packaged in a full-colour 8 page 7-inch booklet almost outdoing the music in terms of intensity. 44 forbidding, austere tracks make up the CD, short noise pieces mixed with distorted destroyed "songs" done with guitar and vocals. Not quite what I'd expected from the Witcyst heard on compilations...it's more like a dive into someone's psychopathologies. Kind of unique in the current crop of new NZ music, and there's a whole lot more of his music floating around out there.
Teledu says of Witcyst:
Witcyst is a collagist of discarded rubbish as much as creator of more of the same. Muffled lullabyes, creepy atmopsheres, low-fi skree, tape manipulation, found sounds and snippets of all sorts of crap are attached to one another like a big, sick worm-dog.
Big City co nz says of Witcyst:
Perhaps the most prolific artist new zealand has ever produced, michael veet ruiliude has produced as witcyst, or as an number of his other mysterious alias, veetjist, m. w. vit, wytcystallio, mxvxwx, thighte whistle, or a handful of groups - falcoxi, failian falien, naughty pakehas, g.a.m etc etc the list goes on. on his own extemporanious and lifespace labels there are over 600 documented ruiliude recordings, and this number is growing daily, as he tends to release pretty much everything he records.
Purely a mail-order marvel, a Witcyst package contains a bizarre array of musical snippets in any grab-bag stylistic approaches, and acompanied by various pieces of visual artwork. with all this activity, ruiliude has also found time to collaborate with and contribute material with Clayton Noone and his Root Don Lonie For Cash label, whilst still maintaining a release schedule on his own labels of mammoth proportion.
