rfurtkamp

A bad person with bad guitars playing really outside weird thirty years gone. Are we not men, or free jazz, or weird noise, or just clueless? Your call. Recorded improv-style, pseudo-live (no edits to tracks, either it's good or the whole session is pitched), one pass at a time with old, forgotten gear. Synths courtesy mistracked guitars via 90s Boss snyth bass units (ME-6B etc), stacked glitchy fuzz pedals, and pitch-shifted harmonizing delay. Newer synthy stuff courtesy Roland GR-55 and all the old toys, plus various Roland keys and a Behringer DeepMind 12.$29 LFO-enabled rack delays and ART...

Twelve by thirteen dances in moonlight 28.02.2019

Live February 27, 2019. Music for her plants in the garden.

Intimations of the thing that comes in the garden of the damned 22.02.2019

The right space, the right glance, always leads to a dance. The pre-tape echo warble version of "A dance, my dear, in the garden of the damned" (see https://soundcloud.com/rfurtkamp/a-dance-my-dear-in-the-garden-of-the-damned ) - this split off from the analog out of box mastering run and tape and Time Bender buggery.

A dance, my dear, in the garden of the damned 22.02.2019

The spirit voices, alive in the warble and fade, as the hall has its say.

Smoldering smoke, distant flame 18.02.2019

There was a distance in her eyes, a reflection of mine. And a space that could not be distinguished between.

This hour of null 14.02.2019

Through the waking of the morning, let there be naught but what is in your summonings, in your invocations, in your curses. What there is, is. There is naught else. Abide by this, in the hour of darkness. Follow through in the vanity of the night. There is nothing but simple deaths fading on the misplaced winds. You who know so much and are a master of this realm, what say you now?

Behold! The beast arisen! 13.02.2019

There is a light, distant and as if behind glass. And in a blink of one eye, it is free.

Arcanum arcanorum on the white-kissed boundaries 12.02.2019

So free that the old songs come unbidden to my lips, and she is there to caress the moment in time. Welcome home, dark filtered six-stage hellion of old. -- The last piece of my classic era gear has found me once again, the terrifying 1/4" power jack 18v monster, chewy, vocal, alive, and dark. Without meaning to, an invocation of those days came forth as well. I have not played this thing for publ...

From behind the patchwork clouds 09.02.2019

Live February 9, 2019. It has been nearly as long as I can remember, but she has never led me astray. Whether those clouds are tornadoes, inclement weather, the worst storms hitting the mountain passes, or a nuclear kiss, I love her all the same.

Holy, holy, holy, thrice blessed 06.02.2019

The star called wormwood, the stone of the trinity: these are her calling cards shaking up the aethyr this night.

I am the embrace of steel 06.02.2019

Set the table, seven by seven - but with only five. It is complete in all.

Azure-wrapped dreams, crackled pigment 31.01.2019

She paints by starlight, and sometimes lets me see.

Long lost home, coastal bound 31.01.2019

The pyre lit, the way home secured, and the storm on the horizon a pleasant dream.

In a shelter of the end 28.01.2019

There are vibrant, shifting colors on her skin as the gown hits the floor. There is a a dragon stretching from shoulder, cradling her breasts and reaching around her waist onto the legs. It is invisible beneath any clothes but alive and shaking and vibrant and unkempt, aroused. And in the few moments that remained, there was no sadness therein.

Smoke and the way to flame 26.01.2019

Live January 26, 2019. There is death in the air, and spirits carried off in the burning husks of the dead.

For that which has been given all 24.01.2019

Live January 24, 2019. A cry, a rejoicing by the river, then fade.

The mystery of her mouth 23.01.2019

Behold! The calling of the fish-hook, and a duet leading to none.

Eight in one eye, then gone 18.01.2019

Duet fro the river, and how she flows. Fake acoustic dreams, courtesy overly mic'd Casino.

Do not fear the moment 17.01.2019

Live January 15, 2019. Audio from the first video session I've attempted in a long, long, long time. In the moment, the danger passed.

Here beauty, then agony 11.01.2019

Live January 10, 2019. Dreams never lead astray - she is always therein.

Meanwhile, in a cave just south of the mountain's edge 03.01.2019

A distant vision, then it is there, full-formed and aware.

Delving the impossible possible 03.01.2019

Live January 2, 2019. I am not much one for modulated delay ...unless it goes to insane. And this is a fraction of said insane, along with sound on sound in an analog monster. Sometimes, one must discover the depths beyond what any reasonable soul would intend, and in that impossible made possible, it is still a beautiful shine. And soon, the discovery of the alternate wiring and options will comm...

Ice in her eyes melts the heart to ash 02.01.2019

Live January 2, 2019. Testing a new beast (because I apparently needed one so much I ordered two?) doing things an analog delay just shouldn't do.

Clothed in mists and ice 01.01.2019

Duet for a waking frost as a new year fades. And one of the few times this decade I have touched a wah (albeit the only one I can play these days with what's left of the foot)

The hall of golden air 28.12.2018

The names I will never say, drawn slowly from her lips, taken light in the hall of golden air.

Let winter winds caress to the bone 24.12.2018

The howling is from more than her lips tonight.
