To explain - this is a remixed version of both volumes of kifrecording's ten seconds compilation, which culled ten-second
segments of sound from dozens of different denizens of the harsh noise
scene. Although a few 'bigger' names pop up, the majority of the
contributors to the compilation are hideously obscure
- bizarrely
named solo projects who have popped up on the occasional CDR split (at
most). Meshing the disparate sounds together are Eraritjaritjaka and
kif boss Animal Machine, and they've done an excellent job of
transforming this abrasive attack into an unquestionably cohesive
whole. What makes Kif Soup work is the variety of sounds
that are employed - since this culls source material from such a wide
span of places, it becomes an impressively substantial work of
abrasive experimentation. However, the 'cooking' done by the prime remixers
makes it less abrupt and random than your average
microtrack compilation. Ultimately, this is worth a look for noise fans
- after all, can you ever have too many Polish 3” CDRs in your
collection?
