“Flux<\/strong>” is the 1981 debut solo outing of Robert Turman<\/strong>, an American multi-instrumentalist and avant-garde composer. Until recently, Turman<\/strong> was perhaps best known for his contributions to the ballistic NON project with Boyd Rice, as well as other obscured U.S. industrial acts such as Z.O. Voider.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 1981 Turman<\/strong> decided he would take a drastic turn from the noisy\/electronic\/industrial work of his compatriots, and began work on what is now the classic “Flux<\/strong>” cassette. “Flux<\/strong>” was originally self-released in extremely limited numbers. Weary of the noisescapes of old, he set out to create long-form minimalism utilizing kalimba, piano, “Mini-Pops Jr.” drum machine, and tape loops to create a complex bed of interweaving micro-stasis’. The results of these new experiments were as beautiful as they were perplexing.<\/p>\n

A curious dusty fidelity carries these classic tracks across four sides of vinyl, including all of the original “Flux<\/strong>” content. These compositions glow with a sprawling, slow motion haze that’s light years ahead of its time. “Flux<\/strong>” reveals wide spectrums of sound from melancholic kalimba and percussion patterns to slowed down, syrupy Exotica. Turman<\/strong> had complex ideas in his mind yet only the simple technologies of the day were at hand. Hear the click of the stopping and starting Tascam 3340 open-reel tape machine as one hand presses the “record” and “play” buttons and the other plays piano phrases. While there are similarities in style to Classical Minimalism, Turman<\/strong>‘s sound and vision is his own and is exclusive to his limited discography.<\/span><\/p>\n
