gate 33

Gate33 is a female UK based multimedia artist. Scribble Season is her latest offering, nine terse gobbets of sheer art noise samples. At times, as on "Edit,Undo", the sonic assault is more tedious than traumatic, like having your ears syringed with wet clay. But then, the gruelling relentlessness and tonnage of "Almas No Existe?" breaks through the hackles of your impatience like lava. More fun, however, are those tracks on which she deploys samples, however abruptly curtailed. "Edith Gabba" features a cheerful flurry of 40’s jazz sax that is quite gratuitously marmalised by an ancient blast of dusted-down Gabba, while Gate33 continues her pathological grudge against MOR on "Carpe Dieme", in which a light entertainment combo are annihilated instantaneously by laborotary-processed volleys of electronics. Most interesting of all is the relatively accessible "The Astrophysicist", in which she constructs a musical equivalent of the Atomium in Brussels around a taped chat with an astrophysicist, who, when asked how science crosses over into music replies, blankly, "It doesnt". - THE WIRE (UK) ************ Releases:*************************************************** ***** GATE33 - ’Scribble Season’ 3"CD (hypnagOgia-ago02) UK 2005 Label-made 3"CD.
