OST/Rook Valard has a few other cd releases out on the Phthalo label: . Rook Valard: Systematic Desensitization cd (Phthalo) . OST: Live @ Static cd (Phthalo) Plus there are previously unreleased Rook Valard tracks on the Alt.Frequencies vols 2&3 compilation cds. I hear that there are upcoming OST cds on the Dial, Phthalo, and Worm Interface labels so more is on the way! >Also caught Kit Clayton @ the Insight event.. also very interesting, >I have a bunch of his records off of Cytrax and His Mimic and the >Model, and was expecting something dubby laidback.. what followed >was about an hour and a half or so of really noisy stuff, seemed quite >improvised.. good, yet he never really let anything take shape into a >complete piece.. > Kit Clayton has an excellent experimental album released on the Phthalo label under the his 4mod3 guise called A Moment of Simplicity that is probably a lot like what you heard at his live show. There are also promos out now for an upcoming live Kit Clayton release called "Live @ CCAC 3/11/99" but i dont know what label this one will be out on. It's also in the freeform experimental style which you described. The bottom line is Kit is a very versitile producer that can produce excellent music for both the floor as well as the davenport!
