Down
Similar Artists: Superjoint Ritual | Corrosion Of Conformity | Pantera | Crowbar | Southern Isolation

Most typical southern band bios start with the cliché and overused

phrase "from the murky swamps" or "bayou born and bred".Those sentiments, while holding some air of truth, are too redundant for Down. Down isn't your typical 'Southern' band. This is a band, however, molded and twisted by their environment. Passionate, focused, hanging on to their NOLA pride and upbringing, much like Louisiana's Spanish moss drifting and swaying from hurricane and termite damaged Magnolia trees. The war torn history of the brotherhood is a tribute to stubbornness and retribution that belies all combined groups before and concerns an introspection in rock, blues and metal as an inspiration/instigation for the ages. Down has risen a certain flag high for every piss poor jealous fool to see. They wear their influences on their ragged

sleeves as well as personify despair and display agony very accurately. Imagine early Southern Rock squeezing through a Geezer Butler strainer in these post punk modern days. There is no label for what Down does, as are there no labels for the "thousand miles from New York" bands that share members with them; Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, EyeHateGod, and Pantera. This is chemistry. This is the

solution. This is the band people will lie about and say that they were into from the beginning. I don't know if anyone remembers there's a war going on in Iraq, but there's a war going on here on the home front, in your head, with late night reconnaissance missions called "Temptation's Wings" and "Losing All". The southern hemisphere, primarily New Orleans, has much to offer by way of paralyzing roots music these days. In these dark times of cookie cutter paint-by-numbers wastes of recording contracts, an air of originality unseen anywhere else lives below the Mason-Dixon line. This is post-Katrina New Orleans. Through the wreckage and wretchedness, the third Down–Over The Under is poised fanatically on

the edge.

IDEOLOGIC ORGAN #2 // PHURPA + COLIN POTTER (NWW) + SLOMO
Event on 2012-06-09 20:00:00

LONDON:

Cafe Oto

SAT 9TH JUN, 2012 8PM
£12.00 – 42 tickets available
All ages

For the first event in Stephen O'Malley's Ideologic Organ series at Cafe OTO Elodie played the quietest set we've ever hosted as the snow fell outside and Eyvind Kang & Jessika Kenney took us on a trip through the resonant possibilities of ancient harmony. Properly magical!

The second concert in the series promises something very special, too. This time we're bringing over Phurpa from Russia to present their own slowed-down, extra-heavy take on the rgyud-skad tradition of Tantric overtone chanting alongside a rare solo performance by Colin Potter of Nurse with Wound and the bass heavy organ pedal/synth/guitar drone of Slomo (Chris McGrail / Howard Marsden).

Phurpa were responsible for the now sold out first issue on O'Malley's Editions Mego facilitated imprint, the stunning 2LP set 'Trowo Phurnag Ceremony'.

PHURPA

This voyage began in the middle of the 1990's in Moscow, when a group of artists and musicians led by Alexei Tegin and based at the legendary Fabrique of Cardinal Art commenced their studies of traditional ritual music, drifting away from the field of contemporary electroacoustic and industrial music with the intent to delve deeper into the ancient musical cultures of the ancient Egypt, Iran and Tibet.

The original 2003 lineup of the project that emerged as a result was dubbed Phurpa (one of the five tutelary deities of the Father Tantra in Bon tradition), and all the members have carried on with their research in the field of Bon and Buddhist liturgies up to the present day.

Before Buddhism reached Tibet, local people had practiced involved shamanic rites derived from various ancestral cults. Later on, circa the VI-IX century AD, a conflict between the local tradition, namely, the pre-Buddhist religion of Bon (which originates from Central Asia) and Tantric Buddhism (hailing from the North of India) gave birth to a unique cultural phenomenon known as Tibetan Buddhism, which combines an extensive metaphysical corpus and an advanced philosophical system with pristine ceremonial practices that reach down through many centuries. In the X-XI century AD the monastic ensemble came into being. It has got a lot in common with the Chinese court ensembles of the Tang dynasty; nevertheless, the Tibetan ceremonial ensemble has preserved its authenticity and kept a large number of primordial elements stemming from the ancient Tibeto-Burmanese music intact to this day. A typical ensemble usually includes a pair of nga drums, several rolmo cymbals and a pair of gyaling oboes, as well as telescopic dunchen horns, dunkar shells and short wandun horns. One of the unique features of the Tibetan monastic choir is a specific kind of overtone chanting, called "rgyud-skad", or the Tantric voice, which is based on the principle of the singer's transmogrification during the so-called "chanting meditation".

COLIN POTTER

Colin Potter is a sound engineer and musician. He has been involved in the field of electronic and experimental music for over thirty years. Based at his own IC studio, he has recorded, produced and distributed a wide array of projects. He has gained a reputation for innovative mixing and sound processing, working with artists such as Current 93, Fovea Hex, Ora, Organum, Monos, Andrew Chalk, Jonathan Coleclough and, most notably, with Steven Stapleton on many albums by the renowned Nurse With Wound. Several solo works have been released, as well as many collaborations.

In the late Nineties, a desire to return to live performance has led to appearances at the Beyond Music festival in Los Angeles, 7Hz in San Francisco, the Liverpool Biennial, the Termite festival in Leeds, the Earational festival in Holland, the Donau festival in Austria, Brainwaves in Boston, All Tomorrow's Parties, Ether festival at London South Bank, Villette Sonique in Paris, Resonator festival in Preston, REC festival in Reggio Emilia, Radar festival in Mexico City, Settembre Musica in Turin, the AvantGarde festival in Hamburg and numerous concerts in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Moscow, Berlin, Munster, Warsaw, Wroclav, Kracow, Gdansk, Paris, Venice, Ghent, Brno, Vienna, Porto, Barcelona, Brighton, Bristol, Nottingham, Edinburgh and London.

SLOMO

Slomo is the duo of Chris 'Holy' McGrail on Moog Taurus II, Sunn Mustang and 'Clatter' and Howard Marsden on Korg MS10 & MS20 and 'Hiss'. Together they create a brooding wasteland of subsonic bass and desolate drone. Their two releases 'The Bog' and 'The Creep' are available from Important Records.
"If the doom metal of Khanate is the ideal soundtrack to the 21st Century Odinists' hanging upon the tree of Yggdrasil, then the vegetal music of Slomo is the unfolding, nurturing, ever-becoming ur-ooze that titanically irrigates the roots of that sacred tree. Slomo restores our timeless beginnings and fulfills the Ginnungagap — motherfuckers." Julian Cope£12.00 – 42 tickets available

Pests with Benefits: The Termites That Thrive

What are Termites?

Termites are familiar to us as wood-eating insects that threaten homes and other building with their diets. Cockroaches and termites descend from a common ancestor. However, they are also beneficial insects that aids in the decomposition of debris that our planet produces.

There are more than 2,870 kinds of termites living all around the world with 185 worldwide causing economic damage. Three of the four major kinds of termites (drywood, subterranean, mound builders and dampwood) are found in North America and Australia.

Distinguishing Features, Nests, and Ecology

Termites are sometimes confused with winged forms of ants, which also leave their underground nests in large numbers to establish new colonies and swarm in a manner similar to reproductive stages of termites. However, ants and termites can be distinguished by checking their antennae, wings, and waist.

They are close relatives of the cockroaches , and so are very different to ants. Termites are blind, so color is right out. Only the winged ones however, can see and then not so well. The termites’ environmental clues are mainly smell, moisture gradients, temperature and vibration.

They are usually considered as small bugs that produce in large packs as well as find places to live in the depths and burrows of a house or building. They are mainly attracted to world underneath a building or house that help sets the foundation of the structure. Termites are attracted to light indoors. They are on the move and their zones silently increases in size.

Termites are the only ones that can break down wood on a mass scale. Without them, the fallen trunks of trees would soon pile up and kill the forest. They are are social insects, most persistent and destructive in nature.

Often called the “silent destroyer”, they may be secretly hiding and thriving in your basement or yard without any immediate signs of damage. While each termite species thrives in different climates and eats different types of food, all termites require four things to survive – food, moisture, shelter and optimal temperature.

Termites eat cellulose in its various forms as plant fibre. Cellulose is a rich energy source (as demonstrated by the amount of energy released when wood is burned), but remains difficult to digest.

Social Organization

The termite colonies consist of workers, soldiers, winged termites, and king and queen termites.

Worker termites are wingless, blind and do not reproduce. They can be male or female nymphs, sterile, wingless adults. Workers collect food, feed both young and adults, build tunnels, and grow fungus (many species grow fungus gardens for food). Worker termites are responsible for the care of the young and the construction and maintenance of the colony.

Soldier termites defend the colony against predators such as ants and do not reproduce. Their only function is to defend the colony from these intruders. Termite soldiers are usually blind, but in some families, particularly among the dampwood termites, soldiers developing from the reproductive line may have at least partly functional eyes.

Winged termites, also known as reproductives, act as secondary offspring producers to the queen once the colony grows larger than the queen can supply. The winged (or “alate’”) caste, are generally the only termites with well-developed eyes, although workers of some harvesting species do have well-developed compound eyes, and, in other species, soldiers with eyes occasionally appear. Flights may occur throughout the year, or more commonly, in the spring and autumn.

Similarly a higher classification of reproductives, a male that has flown, mated, and is in proximity to a queen is termed a “king.” Queens and kings can live for decades while individual workers can survive for several years. Both a king and queen are necessary to form a new colony; they assist each other in finding a new location and in producing the population of a termite colony.

Major Kinds of Termites

Drywood Termites

Drywood termite colonies can be made up of hundreds of worker termites. With no pigmentation to their bodies, the workers cannot survive in direct sunlight. Living inside deadwood, the drywood termite never has to exit for food or water.

They infest dry timber and expand their nests by eating in all directions; eventually leaving just a hollow, yet otherwise normal appearing piece of timber.

All the moisture and nutrients they require is found inside the wood they eat. This is what makes the drywood termite the most unique termite species. The only purpose drywood termites have is to recycle deadwood back to the ground.

Subterranean Termites

Termites don’t just live in wood like people think. What they do is burrow underground, like ants, where they get moisture they need to survive.

Subterranean termites build their colonies under ground using tunnels that look like mud tubes. When there is earth to wood contact from a house, termites are able to crawl up and start building their tunnels.

If a homeowner notices swarming reproductive termites within the house, subterranean termites are present in the home. The termite which attacks more homes than any other is Coptotermes – considered the top subterranean termite pest.

Dampwood Termites

Dampwood termites are generally much larger than subterranean termites. They have various species, and are known to “swarm” to set up new nests during the year from January to October.

Also known as swamps, they are similar to drywood termites in their organization. They do consist of soldier termites which protect the colony with their brownish head and sharp poisonous mandibles.

Dampwood termites, as their name suggests, feed on damp and decaying wood but they may also be found in the ground. They help wood decay fungi to thrive in moist conditions, and if allowed to flourish, they can produce wing reproductives which might attack nearby timbers that are not even close to water.

Mound Builders

They are commonly called “ant hills” in Africa and Australia, despite the technical incorrectness of that name. Mounds occur when an aboveground nest grows beyond its initially concealing surface.

The structure of these mounds can be quite complex. The column of hot air rising in the aboveground mounds helps drive air circulation currents inside the subterranean network. Despite the irregular mound shapes, the different termite specie in an area can usually be identified by simply looking at the mounds.

While some estimates of the ravages of termite infestations escalates as high as billions of dollars a year, all types of termites provide considerable ecological benefits to the land. Termites provide sustenance and shelter for myriad types of life forms as they break down dead and dying trees, and they help aerate the soil for regeneration and future growth.

Termites are notorious for their ability to infest and damage wooden structures. For the prevention of this infestation and destruction, there are many ways to protect your home from termites.
