"Weston has put together an involving piece here. It's tough to hold the
listener's attention with this format but the idea of slowly increasing
densities
works well. …Unlike most solo projects, this isn't a calling card so
much as a
slowly-unfolding idea about percussion, about the idea that
comtemporary drumming
is about texture and space these days, not rhythm. …Weston is a man
to keep an
eye on." –Richard Cochrane, (musings)
Newton = Mat Rademan = Breathmint recs
label profile = http://www.fakejazz.com/articles/breathmint.shtml
"Breathmint's Mat Rademan has been losing money releasing music no one
likes
since 1995. Initially dealing in stunted rock music, Breathmint has
become a DIY,
home-crafted noise empire built around Rademan's Newton project and
tons of
diversely packaged cdr releases of all sorts of weird music. The
Breathmint
sound, as it were, isn't simply a noise explosion; there's a distinct
vein of
Rademan's releases which document a more conceptual line of thinking,
though
projects like Cornelius Ape (who wears a g-string and hits himself with
a bat)
and the recording of the members of a star-studded noise tour sleeping
may
stretch the boundaries of entertainment further than some listeners
would like.
Most importantly, though, Rademan doesn't seem to care, and with a
dedication and
enthusiasm that could be lessons to plenty of other, more established
labels,
Breathmint carries on."
Blastitude show review of Newton http://www.blastitude.com/2/pg7.htm
"…he's a FREAK, okay? Freaky in a good way, of course of course, via
intelligence, energy, and good humor. One way he uses those
characteristics is by
dressing up as a giant bumblebee with guitar pedals duct-taped to his
chest and
playing broken toy keyboards while writhing around, screaming into mics
through
distorted guitar amps, etc. He and his bandmate (wearing a green
orderly jumpsuit
and a labcoat) did this at Gunboat, and after the show Mat went
outside, right
there on 38th Avenue & Farnam, and started lighting off all varieties of
fireworks he had bought earlier that day in illegal-firework mecca
Missouri. This
was quite a blast in several ways, and it made neighbors come outside
and the
cops even showed up and the kindly Mr. Newton gave them all of the rest
of his
illegal fireworks, no questions asked…."
