Avant-odd composer Ergo Phizmiz has posted MP3s of his album covering Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat in its entirety. The release features Phizmiz on: “Banjo, Bass Guitar, Ruler, Music Box, Violin, Toy Piano, Electric Guitar, Accordion, Squeezebox, Euphonium, Ukulele, Kazoo, Xylophone, Pixiphone, Uumskither, Mbira, Pod, Delay, Turntable, Percussion.” Earlier this year, he released the instant plunderphonic classic “Ergo Phizmiz & his Orchestra plays Aphex Twin.”
“The music of Ergo Phizmiz combines sampling and electronics with acoustic instrumentation, plundering the history of popular and classical culture into a Dadaist assault on the senses. Equally at home in the three-minute pop-song as in long, drawn out sound-collages, the sound of Phizmiz comes somewhere between cartoon-music, experimental classical, pop, Gamelan and hip-hop.”
