MANIFESTATIONS OF BABA BAZOOBA
Manifestations of Baba Bazooba is David Goerk, member of Bunnydrums.
MoBB is an on going DIY project of visceral sketches created in backrooms and dark hallways. It is the accumulation of moments and collected sounds – a work in progress, deliberate and raw.
The first release was a limited Edition LP on clear vinyl "Manifestations of Baba Bazooba", self released 1997. A self proclaimed sound track.
Review for Manifestations of Baba Bazooba
This 37 minute release, a side project by David Goerk, one of the members of Bunnydrums, features an eclectic dose of experimental electronics.
With fifteen tracks on this 37 minute release, the pieces are expectantly brief, but quite engaging. Melodic and often aggressive, the music is instrumental and exhibits a gritty quality. While the instrumentation is mostly synthesizers, some guitars, bass, and trumpet are featured, augmenting the robotic sound. Rhythms abound too, mostly electronically generated.
The sterility implied by these descriptions is misleading. Goerk applies clever riffs to this static flow, producing engaging melodies whose only downside involves their too-brief duration. The mechanical nature of these sounds is infused with a perilous overtone, resulting in a very human tension.
Some copies are still available of a 12-inch clear vinyl release of this project, for those who still harbor turntables.
Sonic Curiosity/Matt Horwarth
Second release "Shut Down Vol. 3". Self released 2002 and available on CDR only.
Vienna Woods is the third MoBB project and the first official release on Metropolis Records.
Baba Bazooba described Vienna Woods as an imagined history, a riff, a waltz, a cautionary tale by way of the Wizard of OZ, alien invasion, chrome sitars and Loony Tunes infecting the human condition. It’s a story of complacency - a cosmic drama on the verge, the ambiguous relationship between heaven and earth. Horton hears a Who, UFO's and time travel - crackpots, visionaries and cloud queens - deliberate and human. Read more on Last.fm.
