The connection between cancer and cigarettes is less banal than what it seems: maybe it is also an invasive and pathological feeling. It is not the object per se or its individual form of appearance which is of interest, but rather the processes which happen between the things and the people. Bacterial communications, hisses and rumblings, fragments of analogical spikes...onomatopoeic sculptures, like the One Minute Sculpture by Erwin Wurm.

This chmafu nocords release consists of 15 under-one-minute-sonic-sculputures, plus 3 extended-pleasure remixes by Urkuma's friends (Purusha, marufura fufunjiru and !((Corkzal).
For your pleasure only.

This cd comes with a special onomatopoeic cigarette for your smoking pleasure :-))


First edition sold out.

Now available:
Second edition with many new remixes by
Horror Media, Andrea Valle, eien, Sparkle in Grey,
Guignol Dangereux, SEB..., every kid on speed,
Kilroy, dayeight and Granuloid666
(but without cigarette)


Onomatopoeic Cigarettes shows the connection between cancer and
cigarettes and how that problem is less banal than what it seems. But
let?s put the idea on side and explicate the problem of the sound on
this release. This chmafu nocords release consists of 15 under one
minute sonic sculptures, plus 3 extended-pleasure remixes by Urkuma's
friends (Purusha, marufura fufunjiru and !((Corkzal). here we r
talking about the first edition of this release which comes with a
special onomatopoeic cigarette for your smoking pleasure.  But
unfortunately this edition is already sold. You can now find second
edition with more remixes but without cigarette. Second edition
includes many new remixes by experimental artists like: Horror Media,
Andrea Valle, eien, Sparkle in Grey, Guignol Dangereux, SEB..., every
kid on speed, Kilroy, dayeight and Granuloid666. For your pleasure
only of course. This short tracks, named as cigarettes (also written
as gicarette, gigarette, gigarelte, gigarelle, gigareve, gigarexe,
gigar.exe, cigar.exe or cigarelle), are short noisy and glitchy
pieces; some more powerful, loud, noisy and harsh, some totally week,
quiet, calm and sinewavish, microsoudish or static. First part of
remixes (included on first edition), despite not so different in
sound, gives another perspective of original cigarettes. Second part
of remixes is also around here, orbiting through microsound, sinevawe
and noisy styles, but there r some weirder, dynamic and concrete
remixes that moves this release a bit from its motionless. For
instance, eien remix is melodic, including piano, giving reminiscence
to the only one track on this album that have piano in it self (8#
gigarelte). Sparkle in Grey remix is mellow and melancholic piece,
and daylight is trying to put concrete melody in its remix. All here
is about cigarettes as well as the cover and its design with all hand
written letters. And again, all that for your pleasure only.
