Wilde Calm Records present Omniscient Wildin', the follow-up release to Boonlorm's classic piano-not piano house album, String Figures (SDGWC 1401CD, 2013). A decidedly techno approach was taken for the six-track EP, with Boonlorm setting the master tempo to 130 BPM and utilizing a rugged economy to emphasize the rhythmic and melodic dialog between drums and prepared piano. This percussion discussion quotes the past syntax of Chicago and Detroit, the 20th century avant-garde and the bold new dialects being created for dance floors around the globe. Edition of 400, full-color jackets with artwork by Daniel Davidson.

WC 007EP

Wilde Calm Records present a new EP of modern percussion edits from Brooklyn producer Boonlorm. This collection of reworks was started around the same time Boonlorm began recording String Figures, his album of prepared piano house music (SDGWC 1401CD, 2014). It shares a similar sound to String Figures' rich combination of tonal, atonal, and percussive timbres. By adding his raw drum programming to tease out the latent "techno" qualities in these modern percussion opuses, Boonlorm once again pays homage to Chicago, Detroit, and the 20th century avant-garde.

This is the first project from Brooklyn DJ/producer Pocketknife (Tambourine Dream, Flagrant Fowl) working under his new moniker Boonlorm. An 11-track album featuring "piano not piano" house music created solely with a prepared piano and raw drum programming that pays homage to Chicago, Detroit, and the 20th century avant-garde. String Figures is "screw music" in the most literal sense, with direct ties to the late composer John Cage, who created the first prepared piano pieces by inserting objects into the strings of a grand piano. The sound that resonates is a rich combination of tonal, atonal and percussive timbres. String Figures buzzes, vibrates, and jacks all at once. This CD edition contains six remastered tracks that appeared on a limited vinyl that came out in 2012, with four additional tracks from the same sessions, as well as a bonus track called "Hairdo Gone," which is an homage to Lil Louis' "Video Clash."
