In 2015 Bill Orcutt had the privilege of headlining a The Orm show at the ZDB. Some hours earlier, questioned by a third party on "what do you play", Tiago Silva and Filipe Felizardo could have replied "electric guitar", but they opted for "noise" – which justifies the quip that slipped from Orcutt in that moment: "I am beyond noise." Uncomfortable smiles, one moment, gonna grab another beer, be right back. There's no punchline. If The Orm is a band, it is a tragedy: it kills the father, kills the grandfather, only in order to emulate them in name of the failure that is to not know how to play less than very loud; it gives itself to corniness and takes itself so seriously that the only question it intends to formulate is: "To go beyond what?" Of improvised music's vices and its pretence, non-idiomatic purity? Of expression? Of refusal? Formally and ethically, The Orm does not go – it sinks. Red cassette tape with color-xerox printed inlay with photography by Tiago Silva on 180gr crème paper. Guitars by Filipe Felizardo and tiago Silva Limited to 50 copies, factory duplicated, assembled by Antumbra Publishing House Studios.Contains two tracks, "The Punctuation Crises" and "Ellipsis Without Laziness".
