Kitty Wildenbrück - 7 Volte [ArchivioAudioAnonimo - 2016]

Kitty Wildenbrück is a new wall noise project from Swiss based Anto(most known for his layered & fetish based project Anonymous Masturbaudioum). 7 Volte is the projects first release, and it’s also the first release from ArchivioAudioAnonimo- which is Anto’s new wall noise label.

The release comes in the form of CDR, which features seven tracks- these have running times between just over a minute to nearing twenty minutes. I guess you’d say compared to the often dense, bizarre field recording layered, and often shifting sound of most of Anonymous Masturbaudioum, this is a lot more common garden ‘walled-noise’.

The stuck on hand-made labelled CDR comes in a slim line DVD case, and this features a blown up /print grain heavy picture of a females face. The theme of the project/release  is German-American  actress Barbara Bouchet, and in particular the character she plays in 1972 giallo The Red Queen Kills Seven Times. This plots film tells of two sisters(one played by Bouchet) who inherit their family castle. As a string of murders  are committed by a mysterious dark haired woman in a red cloak. Who Is the killer? Is it their ancestor?..

The seven tracks are titled with an I, instead of a title. So first up we have one of the mid-length tracks here "I"- this just over an eleven minute track is built around a dense matt of chop ‘n’ snapping textures. These are a blend of: blunt & thick, sputtering & hacking, and juddering & jittering snaking static- tonally the textures are in a low-to-mid range. The whole ‘wall’ is quite effective in creating the  sonic illusion that it’s constantly slowing & sludge-up, but I think in reality its fair set for most of it’s runtime.

Another memorable &  effective track is "IIII"- this just under twenty minute track brings together a low slightly buffeted drone, with a selection of different speed judders,  deeper shudders, and crisp static bound-rattles. Again you get moments where you think the whole thing will sputter to a complete stop, but it never does as it keeps churning & galloping on.

Another track that stood out to me is the last & shortest track here "IIIIIII"- this minute & a half track brings together deep & slight rattle bound billowing, with a building shower of jittering & thinner static, which eventual locks into a few seconds of hissing sustain before it ends. It’s a pity this track wasn’t longer, as I could see it be most effective in a longer form, if the static jitter was just slowly but surely ebbed up.

The  other tracks here are ok, though didn’t particularly stand out to me. All in all 7 Volte is a passable debut release, and it’s always nice to see projects utilizing classic old school wall themes like Giallo movies.
