BLACK STUMP is the umpteenth delusional vanity spawned by fear of audiovisual artisan caveman hobo ⽆⽤ [previously known as LxVxTx, currently performing as DRAINAGE, one third of P.I.G.S.’ butchery ensemble, half YUKKO SYNDROME and ACID MUSHROOM WIZARDS TEMPLE, singer/ sampler of COWAGE, and a couple dozen more yet to be unveiled projects, to much dismay of Trigger’s wall of fame]. Conceived in 2023 after nearly a decade-long hiatus, BLACK STUMP works with both the otic and ocular apparatuses to integrate self produced low fidelity ethnographic documentary, field recordings, uneducated ethnomusicology, toxic waste totemism and fringe photography, forlorn fragments of folk frolicking performed with various ethnic instruments, auricular audio cassette fantasmagoria captured through the vestiges of phonic and mnemonic pain. For ABON, BLACK STUMP will perform an amalgamation of experimental folk and ritual ambient-noise on ethnic instruments retrieved from eastern Nepal, China and the Philippines, tapes and field recordings.
