Yau, R.H.Y. – “Coagulation: Selected Works ” – [Auscultare Research]

Max Level   1/4/2006   A Library, CD

Noise artist Yau goes straight for the gut as usual. Loud, wrenching material based on extreme close-up recordings of bodily functions, tortured screaming, yelling, jabbering, thuds, and crunches. Other types of violence in the mix: ominous machine sounds, harsh blasts, fluids dribbling and gushing. Sounds to me like somebody’s getting hurt real bad. Tracks are generally 1-5 minutes, except the final track which is 13 minutes and covers a lot of ground. Actual vomiting on Track 11. Brutal, and obviously not for everybody.
