East Of The Wire – Episode 17 -27/07/25

The best of Bandcamp every 7 days

Every week we pick tracks from the East Village Radio and The Wired’s regular bandcamp shows along with our own staff picks. For more information see this article.

This week we major on Experimentation. The first track is 192,193 by Cornelius Cardew from the album Treatise

the second track is from New York power trio Ava Mendoza/Gabby Fluke-Mogul/Carolina Pérez and is called We Will Be Millions from the album Mama Killer

Tony Orzano, Bryan Rohmer, Jeremy Wexler recorded a session which fluctuated between post-rock, noise and free jazz, with the shared element of improvisation.  The results are nearly an hour of music, bursting with creativity and life. This track is called Circle Of Trusts from the album Balloons On Grass

and finally Akira Umeda & Metal Preyers with Cut Throat Mickey from the album Clube da Mariposa Mórbida. Collaged from juddery electroacoustic rhythms, analog synth segments, environmental recordings, text-to-speech poems and what Akira Umeda calls “ghost sounds”, ‘Clube da Mariposa Mórbida’ is a transcultural voyage into pure sonic fantasy. The São Paulo-based DIY maverick and former historian trades impressions and delusions with Nyege regular Metal Preyers, imagining gory VR avatars, lovestruck arachnids, supermassive black holes and the titular morbid moth club, absurd iconography that stains their warped, mutable soundscapes.
