Plotkin, James

Indirmek

Label: Utech Records Country: USA

"James Plotkin unveils his second solo release in as many years. Indirmek presents two distinct facets of his musical work. The first track, Afyon (opium) lies closest to Plotkin's trademark drift. In essence, a guitar track stretched to limitless possibility. An elemental fury contained, dissected and entrusted to a NYC audience for their consideration in the spring of 2007. Amfetamin (amphetamine) is a second recording from NYC, performed in the fall of 2006. The track is considerably more immediate. It's allure can be credited to Plotkin's use of electronics to invoke raw sound and shape it as he sees necessary to fit a given context. The track speaks a multitude of languages in succession and simultaneously.

The Utech Records Arc Series represents an alliance born from a mutual respect between the label and photographer Max Aguilera-Hellweg. The releases are designed by Utech and will constitute the label's first fine art series. A selection of sound artists are slated to release music. All items will be hand assembled in a package exclusive to the series and limited to editions of five hundred, issued every six to eight weeks. Nine volumes are scheduled for release in 2007."-Utech
