DJ SMALLCOCK
Yinyue (Dual Plover; Australia) $20
Released 2000. Out of print from the label. Dual Plover catalog: "a modern day lolita set in the east. love, a subject rarely touched on by most so-called 'experimental artists,' and with good reason, as their natural enemy 'pop' loves this type of drool. however, one new music practitioner has stepped out in favour of love with his first full-length (snigger snigger) cd yinyue. lovingly dedicated to his love ViVi, whom he followed to china at the turn of the century. this disc has it all: hopeless romanticism (smallcock followed ViVi to china after only knowing her four days), pre-millennium madness (recorded at a time the rest of the world got hopelessly drunk), political tension (set in a backdrop of Beijing at the time of the Macao handover and the trial of Fol Long Gong members), and not forgetting aural exploration. with nine hours worth of Beijing radio committed to tape (smallcock would spend his days wandering the city's extensive hutong systems just flicking through radio stations) on his return to bris-vegas he frottaged them down into a 55-minute love song dedication using nothing but a pause button (in a single nine hour session that finished with the pause button teetering). improvised music concrete for love!"
