The Girl In The Wooden Horse Torture — Riding Geisha
The Girl In The Wooden Horse Torture is one of Ramirez more recent projects(having only two or three releases thus far), and it finds him collaborating with Robert Newsome (also of HNW/ Hash noise project White Gimp Mask). The projects sound here is best described as a fierce and sleazed mixture of industrial influenced Harsh noise with some HNW traits and dwells.
On offer here is a single self titled track that comes in at just under the twenty two minute mark. The track opens with a very grating, seared and hissing whoosh of noise tone which sounds like your pushing your ear against a high pressured stream jet. Out of and around this extreme stream tone comes a mixture of: whistling and winching high pitched noise points, slight grating gear belt sustains, the odd textured judder ‘n’ drags, and later on semi harmonic pitch bends and scorchers. The track nicely shifts, boils and grates over it’s length; and to me it rather brings to mind some of the thicker ‘n’ caustic harsh noise grating scapes of Richard’s most know project Black Leather Jesus- with a bit more extra judder, drag and textural pull added to it.
So all told an satisfying enough second release in this series, which shows Ramirez’s in a more harsh noise and grating harmonic sonic frame of mind- certainly one for those who dig Black Leather Jesus work.
