Review on A.L.I. from Chuck van Zyl/Star's End

"The raw material out of which music by Mark Mahoney & Michael Peck is realized is not old cosmic music LPs but the ebb and flow of life. Their CD A LIFE INCANDESCENT (49'29") continues to show Mahoney & Peck as a duo living in sound. On this release they do their best to light up a dark genre that too often suffers from vapid exploration. There is more to their music than spacing-out. Treating the soundfield like a canvas their music demands imaginative interaction and asks the listener to re-align our sensitivity to sound. Through subtle gradations of tone and timbre Mahoney & Peck achieve a surreal dreamlike soundscape. From molecular whispers in the blood to an acceleration of energy, the eight pieces on A
LIFE INCANDESCENT move the mechanisms of the mind to embrace the enormity of which we all are a part. Drones, resonant sweeps, slow evocative solos, swirling digital chaos over thick analogue foundations all characterize the sonic components of this work. The rhythmic parts are equally original with clear arpeggiations skipping skyward or grainy percussion loops stretched and tweaked. But it is the freedom expressed on A LIFE INCANDESCENT that is most compelling - and Mahoney & Peck use their improvisational skills to move easily between a number of moods and atmospheres. From an inward stillness to euphoric revelations and all in between, this audio experience is not so much about their lives as it is
about the labyrinthine journey of all creative lives."

Please tune in to this week's broadcast of STAR'S END for music from the CD A LIFE INCANDESCENT by the duo Mark Mahoney & Michael Peck.

Poster for May 22

Kuwahara-HoneyCult Now Available

A postal collaboration formed by M. Peck (MaggotAppleWonderland, ECHOTOMB) and Mike Honeycutt (Mystery Hearsay) in 2009 that explores the genres of drone, noise, dark ambient, and experimental electronics.

Their first release "HoneyCult" is a cohesive and focused delivery of fertile sonic imagination and brilliant execution. More than just a frightening audio montage, this release reveals plenty of depth and introspection that is both contemplative and engaging.

The sound sources themselves are as diverse as the creators. Utilizing analog and digital synthesizers, theremin, electric and acoustic guitars, recycled audio, micro cassette recorders, field recordings and various effect boxes the two formed a tapestry of feral sonic movements, perhaps creating their own niche genre all the while which leaves much reward to the listener. Recorded and edited for the better part of 2009, the final arranging/mastering was carried out by Peck at Audio Propulsion Labs and then passed back to Honeycutt for track sequencing.

Make no mistake, this album is dark, yet accessible. Poignant and immersible. Fans of Nurse With Wound, Ure Thrall, Illusion of Safety will undoubtedly dive headfirst into this release.

Here's the cover art from the forthcoming Mahoney & Peck release: A Life Incandescent. The last installment will be available at the City Skies Electronic Music Festival. Tracks were taken from select performances from 2008 and clocks in at just under an hour of some of the finest music this duo has ever produced.
