‘Trinch’ – according to the ever so doubtable internet – means something like cheers. The title should probably be understood as ‘Cheers, you now got herpes’. Yes, this is a noise album. And as I learned from my good friend Hendrik, who got his doctorate in herpes research, Everybody has herpes. It’s one thing you might get, and once it’s in, it’s there for the whole ride. So I’ll never get rid of this 3″ anymore! NEVER! But hey, it’s not a bad thing 😉
RDKPL is, of course, Radek Kopel, a Czech experimental electronic musician from Most and a former member of (amongst others) Eine Stunde Merzbauten and Napalmed. I’ve written about him a few times before in VW, mostly about his Inner Demons releases. He does release way more, though, so if it interests you, there is much more to discover. Two tracks named with dates, October 22nd 2023, index 3 and 4, both 10 minutes in length. From what I’ve learned in the past, Radek creates a setup, and with that setup, he records. However, what his setup is is only sometimes known. But the method invites to create, and he creates a lot. Two hundred fifteen full albums since 2021, according to Discogs. Maybe he is on his way to overthrow Uncle Merzbow from his throne because, let’s face it, Merzbow is on 459 full albums since 1981. Radek releases exponentially more.
The tracks’ compositions should be described as erratic structures. They are momentary recordings in which the instruments are used to give emotion a ‘face’ (read: sound). Not something for everyone, but a welcome soundtrack for a Sunday afternoon when the sun is shining, winter turns to spring, the windows are open, and you want your neighbors to know you’ve survived hibernation.
And give them Herpes 😉
