Dymaxion Groove Announces Compilation Album I Said No Doctors! Featuring Silver Apples, Dan Deacon and Oval

Record label Dymaxion Groove has announced a double LP “experiments instruments” compilation called I Said No Doctors! for release on January 18, 2017.

The album will feature artists like Silver Apples, who released a album called Clinging to Dream in the beginning of September,  David Grubbs, Oval, Dan Deacon, Jad Fair, and more. The compilation is organized by Tom Tolleson, who is the founder of Dymaxion Groove, and is a celebration of sound and artistry beyond the range provided by standard musical instruments. With the organization, Silver Apples have already released their song in the collaboration called “The Mist”. The album artwork and tracklist is shown below.

According to the press release, the audience will be able to hear many styles through “Silver Apples’ Simeon Coxe combining bench oscillators, sound filters, telegraph keys and radio parts into one of the first electronic instruments. David Grubbs playing an alligator-clip prepared guitar. Markus Popp’s composition featuring his Oval Process software. Indonesian noise band Senyawa playing a modified Javanese farm plough. Dan Deacon generating an atonal barrage of MIDI-triggered pin-point notes from an acoustic grand piano. Jad Fair’s custom guitar, in which the neck attaches to the body using a system of rubber bands, allows dramatic bends. Bismuth, featuring Yuri Landman performs on prepared guitars and other instruments created by his Hypercustom Guitars. Ciat Lonbarde’s Peter B plays the Deerhorn synthesizer.”

In an email to Tiny Mix Tapes, Tolleson had said that he “didn’t want to have a theme for the record that was too defined. I didn’t want to police everyone. At the end of it, this double LP has so much variety and so many artists working in their own unique way it just sort took on a life of its own the way the instruments do.”
