.. Abusive/Consumer is the output of J Morales. Having spent the last 20 years playing drums/percussion in a variety of situations including Primitive Industrial, Free Jazz, Prog Rock and Improv (of all stripes) I finally grew tired of asking people to help haul around the arsenal (not a fan of cars and their attendant woes). Lately I've been filling a suitcase with mixers, synths, delays, microphones and found percussives (tools for messing around with the sound of electricity wherever a place can be found to plug in). Through the use of feedback systems, looping, synthesis and chance operations - inspired by the work of minimalists and maximalists like Pan Sonic, Phil Niblock, Iannis Xenakis, Arne Nordheim, Einsturzende Neubauten, Bastard Noise, Terry Riley and Ryoji Ikeda -my music varies between the completely improvised and the open ended composition.I make a pastiche of Electro-Acoustic-Improv/ Microsound/ Dark Ambient/ Noise/ Progressive Synth/ Digital Hardcore while never getting tied up in stylistic confines within a given performance or piece. Currently based in hipster village USA – Portland, OR..

Sounds Like:
I had heard Abusive Delay play before, and I had listened to some of his recordings, and I have liked it all pretty much. But his set, which opened the concert, surpassed my expectations. From the opening test jolts to the set itself—variously subtle and savage—this was very satisfying music all on its own. But there was more than just the skillful and visceral performance; there was also the clatter of dishes and cutlery from the kitchen and the traffic noises from Belmont street. Not every piece would be hospitable to these sounds. Abusive Delay’s set fortunately was.
