H.r. Giger's Studiolo
Vol. 1 & Vol. 2
An edit-reissue of this gargantuan double cassette released back in 2014 under the Typhonian Highlife moniker, 'H.R.
Giger's Studiolo' finds netherworld voyagerSpencer Clark at a particularlybeguiling conjunction of his
labyrinthine-esque soundworld. With complete disregard for linear timelines and trajectories, 'H.R. Giger's Studiolo'
finds both inspiration in the swiss master's vision and the Cenobite iconographypreviously exploredby Clark on Fourth
World Magazine's 'Pinhead in Fantasia'. The CD Head Cenobite picture adorning the cover makes the connection more than
apparent.
A sprawling, two and half hour excursion on the tape version, here properly edited down to the wax container, the first
two volumes of 'H.R. Giger's Studiolo' are some of Clark's most mystifying recordings. A baroque odyssey through an
hermetic maze of alien voices, warping sound effects, oneiric keyboards and a quasi-orchestral sense of space and
dynamics, 'H.R. Giger's Studiolo' feels like an hallucinatory fever dream still unlike everything else, either from
before or after. Time doesn't apply here, anyway.
