Of the millions and millions of xeroxed, hand-stitched, bound in aluminum documents existent, there is the disembodied sense of a human hand, tweaking the mixers to sculpt the air, to try and tame the raging machines. You can see where they have pasted the covers, or the tape run backwards. Listening to Arvo Zylo‘s music, you get the sense that he loves handmade things. His fingers are in every element of the production. He promotes his own material. He makes the records and record sleeves himself. he sends off mutant transmissions into the aether with his Delirious Insomniac Freeform Radio program, where he spews his own underground noise, and helps spread the gospel of other sewer-dwelling mutants. Listening to and looking at his creations, they are uniquely personal and utterly sincere. He seems like a person with a curious mind, who wants to see how things will sound. He has a refreshing, old school industrial vibe to his sensibilities, working with influential noise artists like Boyd Rice and GX-Jupiter Larsen from The Haters. You can practically visualize the sparking machines, the tinny radios belching static. His experience and craftsmanship, as well as a history in the visual arts, allow him to properly place artifacts in the sound field, yet he never stops moving forward and trying new things, and he’s not afraid to fail.

Arvo Zylo – Saint Street (CD-R, No Part of It)

Saint Street‘s an album from Arvo Zylo, although you wouldn’t know it simply by investigating the cover. Only inside, listed underneath a brilliantly colorful picture of a dead bird, does it list artist moniker. Instead, the cover art reminds of Merzbow at his birdiest, similar to artwork on his 13 Japanese Birds series. But Arvo Zylo’s noise on Saint Street sounds quite far from the ‘bow’s harsh noise; instead, Zylo provides the listener with a fairly long disc of ten noise tracks, often wall-like in texture while mixing in a few tracks of noisy rhythms.
The noisier walls that pepper this disc are an interesting mix of shifting static textures combined with new takes on the genre. Opener “Upheaval (Version 3)” is an impressive wall of blasting noise with a fairly consistent undertone of sound, but it often shifts between more musical droning from the opening into hypnotic churnings of fuzz and distant violence. Similar scenarios often occur on this disc, although tunes like ”Undula” and “Freudian Scrape” tend to emphasize the ability of noise to completely obliterate otherwise dance-able soundscapes. It might seem at first odd that Arvo Zylo pairs the sonic blasts of harsh noise wall static with rhythmic noise akin to Black Dice, but it also feels right, a fresh stance on walls that considers changing the simplicity of the sprawling length and unchanging tone of those stoic anthems. There’s also the wallish cut crafted out of layering rewound sounds together on “DPRV”, a magnificently hypnotic piece that aims to throw the listener’s sense of direction off course.
Saint Street falters just a bit, especially in its latter half – “Arachnid Orchid” is one piece that feels contextually out of place with its digital laser beam beats, and “Freudian Scrape” feels outlandishly long considering the total runtime of the disc. The biggest problem with Saint Street is its tendency to sprawl for too long, stretching pieces on until they’re ready to fall apart. Condensing these tracks down would have allowed the listener more time to allow them to soak in; instead, Saint Street packs so much good noise into one disc that it’s difficult to absorb as a whole.
But that’s easily fixable – simply listen again and again, and come back to Arvo Zylo’s ideas fresh. Saint Street is a beauty of a noise album, and the mix of percussive instrumentation with blistering textures is refreshing as well as inspirational.

"333" reviewed at Bad Alchemy

I keep forgetting to share this peculiar but flattering review from Rigobert Dittmann at Bad Alchemy:

ARVO ZYLO 333 (No Part Of It, CD-R): Es gibt sie noch, die Totalabsage an das, was vernünftig und was ästhetisch akzeptabel ist. Da ist einen Typ in Chicago, der in einem rattenverseuchten Kabuff die Industrial-Geschichte verwurstet wie Haarmann seine Opfer. Nicht als Farce, sondern with a vengeance, mit Gewalt, wie der Teufel, auf die Spitze getrieben. Das Machwerk besteht aus drei sperrigen Brocken, 'Plasthma' (11 Min.), 'Deadbeat Deluxe' (16 Min.) und gleich zu Beginn 'Quicksand Eggs Of A Beaten Pathos', eine Lobotomie von über einer halben Stunde, nach der allein man schon wimmernd mit allen positivistischen auch allen nihilistischen Gelüsten abschwören möchte. Oder, drachenblutabgebrüht, von nun an erträgt, was immer auch kommen mag (zumindest bis man sich das nächste Mal auf den Daumen hämmert). Aus einem Trolltanz zu Spinettgeklimper entwickelt sich splattriger Harsh Noise als Overkill mit Druckluftnadlerdauerfeuer. Dann wieder verzerrte Keyboardclusterschläge zu fortgesetztem Lo-Fi-Gewummer und Spießerschreckgeorgel zu schmetternden Paukenschlägen. Ein Karnevalszug von Orks und Trollen, der ausdünnt zu spotzendem Gebrodel, in das im Sekundentakt Metall tropft. Aus grausligen Stimmfetzen und stotterndem Noise plötzlich melodieähnliches Gedudel, ein pulsierender Groove, Geisterbahnsynthie, Maschinenstumpfsinn, ein Charivariloop und noch mehr Geklopfe und Georgel zwischen primitiv und kaputt. Gekurbelt bis zum Überdruss, zur Erschöpfung. Schnitt. Und schon geht es im gleichen Stil weiter, kaputte Beats, kaputte Motoren, die von einem Locked Groove zum nächsten holpern. Apokalypso ad nauseam. Was, wenn man trotzdem grinst und, obwohl die Welt da aus dem letzten Loch pfeift, die 'Plasthma'-Melodie mitswingt? [BA 70 rbd]

Here is what the translator engine had to offer:

ARVO ZYLO 333 (No Part Of It, CD-R): It still exists, the total rejection of what is reasonable and what is aesthetically acceptable. There's a guy in Chicago, the rat-infested mess out in a cubbyhole, the industrial history as Haarmann's victims. Not as a farce, but with a vengeance, with violence, like the devil, to the extreme. The concoction consists of three bulky chunks' Plasthma '(11 min),' Deadbeat Deluxe '(16 min) and at the very beginning' Quicksand Eggs Of A Beaten pathos, a lobotomy of over half an hour after the single want to renounce even with all the whining positivist and nihilistic all appetites. Or dragon's blood boiled, from now on bear, whatever that may come (at least until the next time pounding on the thumb). From a troll dance Spinettgeklimper developed splattriger Harsh Noise than overkill with compressed air eagle auto fire. Then again distorted keyboard strokes cluster continued to lo-fi and Gewummer Spießerschreckgeorgel to blaring drum beats. A carnival of orcs and trolls, which thins to spotzendem seething, dripping in every second metal. From gruesome vocal scraps and stuttering noise suddenly droning melody like a pulsating groove, haunted synth, stupidity machine, a Charivariloop and more banging and Georgel between primitive and broken. Cranked up ad nauseam, the point of exhaustion. -Section. And then it continues in the same style, broken beats, broken engines, the jolt from a locked groove to the next. Apokalypso ad nauseam. What if you still grinning, and, even though the world since its last legs whistles, the 'Plasthma' mitswingt melody? [BA 70 rbd]

GX Jupitter-Larsen/Arvo Zylo split cassette reviewed at Killing Birds

Two Spleencoffin releases were reviewed favorably at Killing Birds, one of which was the GX Jupitter-Larsen/Arvo Zylo "Xylowave/Zylowave" split cassette release:

GX Jupitter-Larsen needs no introduction, to anybody even in the periphery of the noise scene, Larsen's project, The Haters, is legendary as one of the defining artists of the genre, up there with the likes of Hal McGee, Merzbow, Whitehouse, etc. This split tape with Arvo Zylo, titled "Xylowave/Zylowave", is a 2012 release on Spleencoffin. The first side belongs to GX and here he creates an urgent sound, though to the ear the basic patterns do not change and there are no clever editing tricks, there's something beautiful in these long stretches of wind-licked, barren machine-noise. This is crushing, bruising, yet when listened to in a certain way can be heard as ambient sounds. Rising frequencies punch holes in the structure, power tools shower sparks, until in it's final incarnation it becomes crunching rhythmics that descend to an abrupt ending. As awesome as you'd expect!

Arvo Zylo is a distinctive noise artist, though not yet well known, I've reviewed his work favorably HERE. This is quite different from the crazy combination of prog, krautrock and industrial forms I heard in Zylo's other work. His B side, "Zylowave", starts with staccato 8-bit repetitions, charged electrons fluxing throughout, then partial dropouts in the mix on one side of the stereo frame or the other. My Sansui S930's are put to the test, but they're used to this kind of noise abuse, since I've had 'em for 30+ years! Midway through, it all becomes hissing and constant crescendos with no means of resolution. Another wondrous slab of power electronics!

Finally let me say this has one of the better conceived cover graphics I've seen of late, handsomely printed in black and silver, a nice art package. Recommended! Get it for $5 (!) HERE.

Arvo aired on No Such Program (Radio Valencia)

Some of Arvo's work has recently been aired on Ferrara Brain Pan's excellent radio show No Such Program on Radio Valencia.

April 10 - Along with Carter Tutti Void, Bobby Beausoleil, Coil, and Tristan Tzara/Jaap Blonk among others!

"333" reviewed at Esoterrorist

Chicago-based noise artist Arvo Zylo is rumored to have spent 6 years developing his most recent offering, 333, and the 3-track self-released CD doesn’t fall short of expectations.

The first moments of 333 are reminiscent of what one might imagine a carnival in hell to sound like, with warbly and oblique synthesizers played along to schizophrenic glitch-ridden industrial beats. This runs almost immediately into an abrasive wall of noise and hiss, removing any former traces of melody and rhythm and elevating us to a purely textural abstraction of sound. We come in and out of this traditional (a tradition known to noise purists, only, assuredly) line of harshness with more recognizably concrete instrumentation of modern composition, but the grim atmosphere remains the constant, from the static crushing blasts of noise to the rupturing post-apocalyptic dirge marches.

Within the established structures of industrial noise, Arvo Zylo has found his individual voice, and it resonates with strength and dynamic agility. You can mark us down as fans. Get it here on CDr or cassette.

THANKS ESOTERRIST!

"333" Reviewed at Rottenmeats

http://rottenmeats.blogspot.com/2012/03/arvo-zylo-333.html

The first track Quicksand Eggs of a beaten Pathos clocks in at around 30mins, starts off like the Residents at their most jovial… a comedy of bendy melodica that falls over into full on brutalism bullied in percussive kicks and hints of piano storms… It’s a baptism of fire, a swarm of digital insects gnawing at your grey matter, but your skull isn’t pummelled for too long before your endurance is rewarded with a drone bed of sinister Neubauten-esque DIY ‘s and hammered piano amputations… Some great sequenced candy follows, eking out ill-omens, organ lines thrown over grumbling discomfort… mad trebly can openers hooking at the debris like those red roosters dancing over a post nuclear diorama on the back cover… that reverbed intensity and smashing percussion is something else… quasi glints of a goose stepping clout, like some digitally distressed hybrid of Test Dept and Laibach… breaking away in an unpredictable feast of drum patterns and textural quarrel, chugging out those asymmetrical highs and BPM runaways … It's as if the band Ruins has been replaced by a dominion of broken robotics and sputtering dot matrixes and cattle prodded into spastic action…

Ideas flash by at a bewildering speed, everything evolves with amazing fluidity, spurs off in freshly inspired directions... never for one minute remotely boring... at one point Arvo even seems to be redefining drum and bass in fist fighting billiards and Wurlitzer panel punch… This is a bit like those Venetian Snares but way more berserk with the tempo, and homicidal in the collisions.

The second track Deadbeat deluxe is as possessed as the first, a mad assemblage of avant mangled hilarity and butt slapped S&M with some tasty Nintendoed Kraftwerk, propping up what sounds like a shoulder smashed garage door before it slips into all out industrialised glee … An intensity that’s later cut back in sparse percussion, only to launch into a junkyard techno of mortar beat and cracking schism … further machine gunned into a grainy post existence of unrelenting ear knives … cut-up in a mud slapped finale of punched hydraulics some 16(ish)mins later.

The last track Plasthma, continues the sequenced mania… strange wreckage indeed that rips through your ear in shrill-like varieties, only to fall back into that Residents avant classical vibe that started the album off.

This will either leave you with a splitting headache or a humongous grin... but I swear somewhere in this albums 59 mins I heard multiple futures...

New Review of "333" on Heathen Harvest

http://heathenharvest.org/2012/03/04/arvo-zylo-333/

Written by: Sage
Artist: Arvo Zylo
Title: 333
Label: No Part of it
Cat. #: None
Format: Pro CD-R

Genre: Industrial / Noise / Experimental

01) Quicksand Eggs of a Beaten Pathos
02) Deadbeat Deluxe
03) Plasthma

Arvo Zylo is one of those few humble souls who manages to go all out with his artistic integrity, pushing what he does into every realm of his life. When he’s not creating his unique brand of rhythmic/experimental noise, he’s putting together live performances or interviews with unheard of names and prominent figures. When he’s not doing that, he’s writing about other people’s music. When he’s not writing about music, he’s writing about SOMETHING. This guy is always creating and, much like his music, it has order and purpose even through it’s chaotic structure and surreal disposition. Zylo hails from Chicago where even his work at WLUW-FM 88.7 allows for him to reach out his creative fingers and deal with music (and non-music) on a daily basis. This doesn’t even begin to address his other project, Mister Fuckhead, or his live appearances such as the Dead Audio Festival 2010. There’s something to be said about the underappreciation that people like this receive — they kill themselves, not just for their art, but for other’s art as well, but it’s all that experience that makes what they creat that much stronger.

The breed of industrial noise that Zylo creates is unique in both its rhythmic allure and also it’s ability to be both incredibly intense but not overly harsh. 333 opens up with “Quicksand Eggs of a Beaten Pathos” which opens up with a carnival-esque melodic line that ends up evolving slowly and steadily over a minimal beat before eventually collapsing into a chaotic stream of disruptive and brutal noise. This onslaught of distorted electronics is only tamed by eventual percussive accents and a minimal melodic line created out of various singular piano fragments that are eventually nearly swallowed by an ominous, gradually building drone at the bottom end of the track. The consumption never quite occurs though and instead the bottom drops back out and we’re led back full-circle to the carnival style of the opening with some powerful industrial influences acting as percussive elements. The carnival sound eventually drops out too and all we’re left with is this disturbing, eventually bombastic death industrial sound that eventually flat-lines as the track quickly fades out only to come back to life as an entirely new entity that has enough character and duration to stand as its own track, but has probably been included as a second chapter of the same track to keep with the theme of “3″. It’s this formula that Zylo follows through the three tracks found on “333″ that make up the bulk of his style. Strong old-school industrial influences and minimal percussive textures, various rhythmic and experimental sound segments, some slight melodic synth-play and some oddly psychedelic moments that are hinted at by the album artwork.

The five-minute mark of “Deadbeat Deluxe” is a great example of the psyched-out aspect of this release with another playful rhythmic melody that progressively abstracts and builds intensity just to overwhelmingly collapse as in the track previous in an onslaught of industrial noise and disruptive experimental moments between beats. Even a danceable interlude moment approaches at the 11-minute mark of this track which came absolutely out of left field, but somehow also wasn’t entirely unexpected. The fact is that the bulk of “333″ sounds remarkably authentic and natural — or as natural as an electronic release can be. Where much music today can be forced and seem to be created out of the artist’s need to create something within the borders and regulations of something they love, Zylo’s work flows so well, not just between sections and tracks, but between entirely different genres of electronic music, that it comes across as a literal part of who he is. Of course, there is only a certain percentage of truth to this realization as electronic music with structure in any form takes time and focus to create, it can’t just jump forth from your fingertips like a guitar melody or poetry from your lungs, but that doesn’t change anything. Though the 59 minutes that make up this release may have only slightly overstayed their welcome, being the only source of negative reactions, “333″ never leaves your bored or looking at the clock. Segments are always evolving and moving towards their next progression, but any work of personal art has the ability to wear on you leading up to an hour’s duration.

The CD-R is pro-printed and comes in a jewel case with a two-sided insert. The art itself is as chaotic and strange as the music itself and blends yellows, reds and oranges with purple hues, but may lead you to believe that the psychedelic textures found in “333″ are stronger than they actually are.

You can catch Zylo on Chicago-area radio, as mentioned, on WLUW-FM 88.7 hosting “The Delirious Insomniac Freeform Radio Show” as “Arvo Fingers” every Monday night / Tuesday morning from midnight until 3:59 AM.

Rating: 4.5/5

"Saint Street" reviewed at Vital Weekly

I want to be clear that not all of this material was written prior to knowing about noise, but I think it's a good review anyway.

ARVO ZYLO - SAINT STREET (CDR by No Part of It)
I have had long discussions with Arvo about Australian Sheep rolling over cattle grids. That is the 'new' way of wearing scarves which seems to have taken the UK (and probably the world) by storm - folded in half and then ends put through the loop - and they mentioned 'morphic resonance' to explain the fact that the behavior had spread so rapidly – here perhaps in relation to noise? Or the Jackson Pollock Formica tables of the 1950s. Just in case anyone thinks this is a performative review, the calculus was either invented or discovered allegedly simultaneously by Leibniz and Newton. Zylo claims no prior knowledge of noise before creating these works, “but from a reckless abandon that resulted from an absolute failure at making electronic music”, which is one of the most precise definitions of noise I’ve read recently. Though the signification of the calculus was
fairly definitive, noise is not, so arriving at it, like the blank canvas can be via a dead logic, or sublime mysticism. Good noise – which escapes “goodness” can be so regarded, as a mystical sublimity or a dead logic, as both philosophic and non-philosophics, as a chain of difference, and repetition of not the same in the same as a signifier without a signified. Some might find these works (Saint Street) as sublime metaphysics or music physics, as a logic of abandonment of music into a Kierkegaardean sickness unto death or a Nietzschean overcoming (of music), or failure of communication, or a nihil, similar to but not IMO noise, in these protoforms which collide and collapse. The ten tracks are of shear non-musical invention, no matter their origin they claim and demand to be listened to, as a destruction of music, more an imaginative and authentic act of existenz than the cooler essence less existence of existential noise. Remarkable works. (jliat)

Review of 333 on Touching Extremes

http://touchingextremes.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/arvo-zylo-333/

In an handwritten note, Arvo Zylo (note the relation between his first name and the website’s) advises me that it took six years to complete 333. The many hours that he put in are discernible throughout the three tracks of the CD, radical sharpness subjacent to music mostly born from of jolts and compulsions, classifiable without reluctance in the orbit of semi-dignified noise. The project’s unfolding leads the listener across stages of “refuse-any-melody”, industrial-scented cadenced autism, characterized by the same pros and cons of other releases in this battleground. This means that the physiological reaction connected to the initial impact is somewhat dampened by the absence of a functional evolution, the various constituents succeeding in separated scenes rather than agreeing to a proper arrangement. Things improve over subsequent temporal transitions, a distinct opening towards more “orchestral” sonorities making the difference; we even start hearing (perhaps illusively) echoes of samples in the overall crushing. I won’t name names to forcibly compare Zylo to the usual suspects, because he does not deserve it: like it or not – and I do acknowledge several of its intriguing aspects – this records shows a strong backbone and a good degree of individuality, regardless of the cosmetic qualities.

I will be playing at Crown Tap in Support of Mac Blackout Band and Shaved Women on March 17th

The Heat Death of Everything


16 May: oddity of the month for May comes from Arvo Zylo in Chicago. His 333 (NO LABEL) release is a quite overwhelming mix of chaotic elements, where manic organ riffs and repeated loops are pitched against large gusts of disquieting and alien noise blocks. For all of these three long tracks, there is a constant air of alarm, as though things are going to get wildly out of control and potentially dangerous at any second. Patterns do emerge from the apparent chaos and fug, but this is definitely one teeth-clenching roller-coaster ride where you need to strap yourself firmly into your armchair before clicking the play button. The collaged cover artworks are printed in garish, acid colours and their imagery tends to mimic the mayhem of the music, particularly the pink dayglo chickens running over what looks like an endless field of scrap metal. “Alcohol-soaked, dark and solitary” is how the creator describes the making of this intense and strange album of circuit-bending and warped hip-hop approaches.

333 Reviewed at Killing Birds

Arvo Zylo was an unknown name to me before I received his package of releases. Info on the net is sketchy, but Zylo's press release emphasizes his presence on the Chicago independent radio scene, live shows in and around the windy city and an association with the legendary Illusion Of Safety.

"333" is a really interesting release that combines krautrock, prog, electronica and noise (sometimes all on the same track!). Very well paced with a real affinity for the dramatic buildup. These compositions are created from some of the strangest, oddball sequenced patterns, followed on by chattering noises, psychedelic synth tones, more harshness and stunning, rhythmic driving-forces that reshape the sound structure again and again. If this is breakcore, it's creating a new definition for it. It's a devilish sort of music that, at first, makes for the raised eyebrow and then the dropped jaw as this thing grows into a behemoth before your ears! I really cannot recommend this one enough. Likely to leave noise purists skeptical but this is for more open minded listeners.

"333" Reviewed at Animal PSI

http://www.animalpsi.com/index.php?entry=entry110525-162453

Only half-evil, ‘333’ is only half-Noise, the rest a circuit-bent circus of manic rhythms and flamboyant glitch beats. The 60 minute looong-player by Arvo Zylo pays equal time to hi-fidelity Japanoise, hardcore breakbeats, and deep European surrealist absurdity akin to the solo work of Larsen’s Fabrizio Palumbo. While the half-hour intro track feels necessarily fragmented and piecemeal, the second and third tracks (“Deadbeat Deluxe” and “Plasthma”) both integrate nicely these elements into punchy anti-disco. Technicolor and crunchy, the duration hangs together nicely, but with the methamphetamine compulsion of the Industrial pleasure principle. Not to be ingested casually. A self-released, pro-pressed CD available for $9 HERE.
