Cleveland Orbit: new Bee Mask releases on Tusco Embassy and Pizza Night:
TE57-BEE MASK-COLONY COLLAPSE 2 c20 edition of 40… chris madak has been away from cleveland for a long time now it seems and thinking back to the first time i saw him perform seems like it was in a different lifetime…. nonetheless i have never been disappointed by any of bee masks’ work… chris has an enthusiasm and fresh approach to sound that i feel transcends any comparisons between him and his contemporaries. no idea what he used to generate the amazing spaced out sound on this tape. but wow!!!!!!!! such an amazing chunk of electronic music by the first dude that ever inspired me release music by people other than myself ,, haha… essential shit – Nathan Bowers
Bee Mask “No Mutant Enemy” c20
If you keep your ears to the ground, you most likely have already gripped his latest LP on Weird Forest, “Hyperbolean Trenchtown”. If not, then consider yourself the last to know about Bee Mask. He’s been a staple in the midwest/east coast for years now. With a wide array of set-ups and an endless amount of sonic possibilities, it’s hard to tell what’s next with him. The two sides flow together like one dense piece using heavy mind warping drones and hazey bells that chime in to relieve some of the tension. The tape offers an alternate universe that is neither dark nor light, ugly or beautiful. Neither sounds of love or of hate. – Sam Goldberg
