Blackhumour Gimp Gash Split: A Sonic Mind Melt You Won’t Forget Alright, let’s talk about Blackhumour Gimp Gash Split by blackhumour Gimp Gash. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t just sit in your ears—it kinda lives there for a while, messing with your head in the best way possible. Released back in 2017 under HNM (shoutout to the label for taking chances), this US-born experimental electronic beast is all about breaking rules and stitching together sounds like some kind of auditory Frankenstein. If you’re into stuff that feels raw, unpredictable, and honestly kinda haunting, this might be your jam. The album dives deep into sound collage territory, which means it’s not here to spoon-feed you melodies or predictable beats. No, no. This thing grabs scraps of noise, distorted whispers, and glitchy rhythms, then throws them at you like confetti made out of broken glass. And yeah, it stings—but in a good way. Now, two tracks really stuck with me: “incantatory” and “incantation.” I mean, these titles alone are enough to make you go "huh?" But trust me, they deliver. “Incantatory” hits hard from the start—it’s like someone took an old tape recorder, whispered secrets into it, and then ran it through a blender set to “chaos.” There’s this eerie loop that keeps creeping up on you, almost like it’s trying to hypnotize you against your will. Every time I listen, I feel like I’m walking through a foggy forest where something strange is lurking but never shows itself. It’s unsettling as hell, but also kinda beautiful? Like, how does that even work? Then there’s “incantation,” which feels like its angrier sibling. The track starts off slow, lulling you into a false sense of security before BAM—layers of jagged synths crash down like waves during a storm. It’s chaotic, sure, but there’s a weird structure underneath it all, like someone carefully placed each piece of debris exactly where it needed to be. By the end, my heart was racing, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or scream. Maybe both? What makes this album stick isn’t just the music itself—it’s the mood it creates. Listening to Blackhumour Gimp Gash Split feels like stepping into another dimension where logic doesn’t apply, and yet everything still clicks somehow. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and oddly satisfying all at once. Here’s the kicker though: after listening to this album three times in a row, I realized something weird. These tracks don’t just exist in your headphones—they bleed into your day. That low hum you hear when you’re sitting alone? Could’ve sworn it came from “incantatory.” Or that random static burst in your kitchen radio? Sounds suspiciously like “incantation.” So yeah, maybe this album isn’t just music. Maybe it’s a vibe, a ghost, or even a prank played by sound itself. Whatever it is, it’s unforgettable.

About blackhumour Gimp Gash

"The blackhumour audio project had its beginnings in early 1982 with the first few experiments I was doing on my teac 4-track reel-to-reel recorder. The resulting early pieces were not so good, but some of the pieces which were done with my then audio-partner, somebody else, were successful. Two of these pieces, 'murder', and 'trade and commerce', are included in the retrospective of early bh work, 'radical positive' (banned productions). This release also shows the evolution of the blackhumour approach away from treatment/effects techniques of any kind, such as equalization, reverberation. Flanging, echo, etc., and the choice made by blackhumour to use as its sole sound-construction source the use of 'found-object' human voice only, with the exclusion of such tape techniques as speed-masking (speeding up or slowing down the sound of the voice) or back-masking (the notorious technique of playing the voices backwards). Since 'snakes in an atheist's grave' (1984), NO blackhumour piece has used anything other than found object (spoken) human voice and editing techniques. (since 1986, digital editing has been included, thanks to inexpensive digital sampling.) I wanted the sound source to be absolutely basic. The human voice speaking was about as basic as i could get. The rationale being that we are constantly hearing speech, whether it is from others, or simply the sound of our own voices in our ears."
