thanks to komma, muziekgieterij, ceres, dbs, speelonk, mezz, rocksupplies, novanois & we would not only like to thank 'novanoïs' for giving us a spot to rehearse, but we would also like to apologise for the noise we made on their lazy sunday afternoon.

other people we'd like to apologise to are the ones that would be offended by our band name. as a matter of fact, it is an attempt to ridicule racism and sexism[, a bit] like 'woman is the nigger of the world' by john lennon or, more recently, 'rape me' by nirvana. we are ashamed the world is not yet as emancipated as we had imagined. free pussy riot, damn it!

the actual reason to choose this band name was the fact hiroyasu beckins started the bass line that defines the last song, which reminded the others of 'timebomb' by the whitest boy alive. actually, hiroyasu never decided to play the riff of ‘timebomb’, his bass line just anticipates/reacts on what was happening around him. we do like the song though, as we do like the bakery eirik bøe used to buy his bread near fløibanen as well.

because of this accidental intermusicality, billy jokingly proposed ‘the blackest wife alive’, somewhat inversing the name of the writers of ‘timebomb’, albeit he thought it might be too controversial. then again, who the fuck will ever listen to this album anyway? a cufnosed circus expects no more than 20; the five who participated, the girlfriends of them, the adorable lady who made the sleeve, two wanderers, three bots and five lost souls. on top of that, avant-garde would be nowhere without provocation.

and we do love women, and blacks, and black women.

we're xenophiles & we disagree on the english language lacking proper words for ethnical origin or colours of skin. no one is white or black. in light, white is the presence of all colours and black the absence. in painting, it is the other way around. then, they are approximations of complete lack of colour, in black’s case. black is the unseeable. we've never met anyone completely white nor completely black. skins can be an approximation of lightness or darkness, but never the colour that would be the equivalent of complete absence of colour. so the choice of the title is a fuck you to dualism. there is not black nor white, nor blurry greyness – it’s all the colours in between, not a mixture of two opposites, but a mélange of all the colours. 

hey hey hey

spring will give birth to some a cufnosed circus presentations. the blackest wife will sprout alive and rhuit will take a first step. something might even flow out of the estuary, although that could take until summertime & a quintet keeps on rehearsing now and then, resulting in gatherings of catharsis in gusts of reverb.

güntherpierre's new guitar

günther-pierre tries out the brumlander guitar. we bought a cheap jazzmaster look-a-like guitar with a stratocaster pickup setup and rebuilt it into this beast.

five pickups, one behind the bridge, based on yuri landman's white eagle and moonlander, check out www.hypercustom.com. two outputs, selectable for each pickup & nine strings (the highest three strings are doubled). what you hear is just a few of the things it is capable of.

for this recording we used two small amps, one is clean and one has a bunch of delay and reverb. the music is improvised on the spot.

five sonatinae for guitar and bass ep [billy navrovski trio]

a cufnosed circus presents five sonatinae for guitar and bass by <b>billy navrovski trio</b> that was recorded the same week as the things on soundcloud, but without cresconio delarosa. a second layer of paint was added on the twentysecond of september 2012 under the influence of some unspecified stubbornness.

1. cisza przed burzą [navrovski, montgomery, beckins]
2. powoli tworzenie [montgomery, navrovski]
3. zgiełkliwy/turbulencja [navrovski/navrovski, montgomery, beckins]
4. i tak dalej [navrovski, montgomery, beckins]
5. wieczorna, pijana lampa [montgomery, navrovski]

there is some space for words, some for envision. movements of claps, carts or coïncidence and there's a hidden blues. the picture on the front was found in the wide web, but due to our genes/roots we have lost track of the photos origin. props for weronika ogłoza, camille wren & l.r. vis.

entering autumn

summer's gone and lonely nights of surfing for entertainment lay ahead of us. throughout the winter we will publish some songs of 'billy navrovski trio' and 'the drowned magicians' that we wrote aeons ago and refound recently in our conscious. 'billy navrovski trio' created freeer sonatinae than ever and 'the drowned magicians' will just stay floating on the estuary. also, nuño has been doing some remixes that can be found here and we will publish his lp called <b>empty mountain</b> digitally before the spring.
meanwhile, 'the drowned magicians' keep rehearsing as a quintet and they are sculpturing <b>2:388  8    8 88</b> as well as preparing new material.
