Burning Star Core, the project of Ohio-based violinist Spencer Yeh, achieved a unique balance of droning ambience, musique concrete and psychedelic freak-out,
a standard first set by
the two lengthy meditations of A Brighter Summer Day (Thin Wrist, 2002).
The Very Heart Of The World (Thin Wrist, 2005) experimented with percussion instruments.
Everyday World Of Bodies (Ultra Eczema, 2006) was scored for voice, electronics and found objects.
Three Sisters Who Share An Eye (No Fun, 2006) was the most extreme of the early works.
The double-disc Mes Soldats Stupides '96 - '04 (Cenotaph, 2005) collects rarities.
Operator Dead Post Abandoned (No Quarter, 2007) inaugurated a quartet with Yeh on violin and electronics, Trevor Tremaine on percussion, Mike Shiflet on computer and Robert Beatty on electronics; and the music attained a loud and transcendental fusion of free-jazz, acid-rock and digital soundsculpting over spastic percussive frenzy.
Challenger (Hospital Productions, 2008) marked a return to solo electronic/computer performances, and this time incorporating field recordings. It also marked a new stance by Yeh, one that belonged more with the high-brow avantgarde than with the droning crowd. The result approximated both the cosmic music of the 1970s and the most progressive of Eno's ambient works.
