Bad King Richard got rich by exploiting workers at King’s Faire

Next Tuesday (Oct 31) at 10hPT, the Internet Archive is livestreaming my presentation on my recent book, The Internet Con.

King Richard's Faire is the largest renfaire in New England, and its owner, Dick Shapiro, extracts a reported $400k/day – a sum that is only possible thanks to systematic and likely illegal worker misclassification, which lets him pay performers sub-minimum wages and deny them benefits:

https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/172267v/kings_faire_inc_aim%C3%A9e_bonnie_shapiro_nets_over/

Many of the performers at KRF are absolutely unpaid – these are the "villagers" – who mill about looking picturesque in exchange for free admission. They even have to buy their own turkey legs.

When the faire is rained out, all workers – "volunteers" and paid workers – are sent home without any compensation. Attendees are also sent home with rain-checks, many of which go unused (there's no refunds in the land of King Richard).

Staff work from 8am to 730pm and are paid a day-rate that works out to $6/hour. After heavy weather events, staff are ordered to show up early to do cleanup, but are not paid for their time. Staff don't get health benefits – instead, local community groups like the Elks put on fundraisers to cover the health-care costs of the performers.

Now, King Richard's worker mistreatment is not an outlier in the medieval reenactment industry. Think of how the knights at Medieval Times – who put on nightly, potentially lethal performances to generate profit for their employer – unionized in the face of exploitative labor relations. To add insult to injury, Medieval Times sued the union, arguing that its name – "Medieval Times Performers United" – was a trademark infringement:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/medieval-times-sues-union-trademark_n_63485fa5e4b0b7f89f54546b

This trademark wheeze is the latest desperate tactic to be deployed by the ruling class in the face of a surging labor movement with broad public support. Starbucks – one of the world's most notorious unionbusters – is doing the same thing to its union, Starbucks Workers United:

https://seattle.eater.com/23923490/starbucks-workers-united-union-lawsuits-copyright-trademark-israel-hamas-palestine-social-media

These moves are wildly out of step with the current of public opinion, which has swung hard for union rights in a manner not seen in generations. The outpourings of public support for striking entertainment industry workers were handwaved away as exceptions driven by the public's love of actors and writers. But that doesn't explain the strong, ongoing support for the UAW in their strike against all of the Big Three automakers:

https://pro.morningconsult.com/instant-intel/uaw-strike-public-opinion-october-2023

Bosses have always tried to smash worker power by dividing workers – by race, gender, or "skill" – but workers are workers and solidarity is the source of worker power. That's why the whole labor movement backed Equity Stripper NoHo, the first strippers' union in a generation:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/14/prop-22-never-again/#norms-code-laws-markets

Creative workers are part of a class of workers who suffer from "vocational awe," the sense that because your job is satisfying and/or worthy, you don't deserve to get paid for it:

https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/

(Think of joke about the father who finds his runaway son at the circus shoveling elephant shit: "Son, come home!" "What, and quit show-business?")

Creative workers have long been encouraged to see themselves as "independent businesspeople" – LLCs with MFAs – and this mind-zap is augmented with our bosses' repeated insistence that the unions are for big burly blue-collar workers, not ethereal dreamers and pencil-pushers. Our bosses tell this story because it discourages us from forming unions and demanding fair pay and good working conditions (obviously).

Think of J Edward Keyes, the cartoon villain who serves as editorial director of Bandcamp. When the workers Keyes managed formed the Bandcamp United union, Keyes called them "white-collar tech workers…appropriating the language of the legitimately oppressed," adding "Fuuuuuck Bandcamp United":

https://www.404media.co/bandcamp-editorial-director-fuuuuuck-bandcamp-united/

Keyes's contempt notwithstanding, it's clear why Bandcamp workers need a union – after the company was flipped twice in rapid succession, its new owners, Epic Games and Songtradr, fired all its unionized workers. Keyes responded to coverage of this mass firing by calling the Pitchfork reporters who wrote about it "absloute amateur journalists."

The attempt to divide-and-rule "knowledge workers" from "industrial workers" is a transparent bid to shatter solidarity and make it easier to abuse and exploit all workers. Thankfully, workers are wise to that gambit, and understand that when all kinds of workers struggle together, they win.

Take the UAW strikes: for many years, the UAW was an objectively bad union, ruled over by a dirty-tricking clique who sold out the membership. It's normal to blame workers for bad leaders, but the UAW old guard had rigged union elections, making sure that they would stay in charge. It's not workers that like corrupt unions – it's bosses.

Before the UAW could fight back against their bosses, they had to fight back their bosses' minions in the upper ranks of their own union. That's where the the Harvard Grad Students' Union comes in. After years of worsening exploitation and working conditions, the Harvard Grad Students organized under the UAW, then joined forces with reformers in the union to oust the corrupt leadership.

During the leadership struggle, Harvard Grad Students helped their comrades from the auto-sector master the union's baroque constitution, so when the old guard tried to prevent motions from reaching the floor, the grad students were able to cite chapter and verse back at them. In the end, grad students and auto-workers together won the victory that paved the way for the strikes:

https://theintercept.com/2023/04/07/deconstructed-union-dhl-teamsters-uaw/

A strong, unified labor movement is necessary if America is to save itself from inequality, racism, the climate emergency – the whole polycrisis. The idea that creative workers aren't workers is bullshit – and so is the lie that all workers are uncreative. The "Worker As Futurist" project recruits Amazon drivers and warehouse writers to write science fiction about a future without Amazon:

https://jacobin.com/2023/09/amazon-workers-sci-fi-writing-bezos-imagination-speculative-future

They call this a "belief that rank-and-file workers, whose bodies and minds are exploited by capital, might have access to some knowledge about capitalism that is beyond even the most brilliant theorist or analyst of capitalism."

All workers can and should tell their own story. Doing so isn't just a way to change the narrative – it's also a way to change policy. The new merger guidelines from the FTC and DOJ Antitrust Division explicitly incorporate labor-market effects into antitrust policy. As Brian Callaci and Sandeep Vaheesan write for The Sling, the testimony of workers and unions can help produce the evidentiary basis for blocking the mergers that lead to monopolies:

The rising labor movement is a force for profound change in every part of our economy and politics. Workers can be our knights in shining armor.

Invisible Agent (1942)

"Since you're unwilling to let the Axis powers use your formula, will you consider submitting it to the American government? Naturally, we've known about you for some time, but respected your incognito. However, since that's been exposed, we'd deem it a highly patriotic service if you would permit us to use the drug."

"There's no use asking me. I should have destroyed it years ago."

"But if your country had great need for it? A critical emergency?"

"There will never be an emergency critical enough to justify its use - never."

Les Misérables - 25th Anniversary Concert Live At The O2 - October 3, 2010 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alfie Boe (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Katie Hall (Cosette), Nick Jonas (Marius), Samantha Barks (Éponine), Ramin Karimloo (Enjolras), Matt Lucas (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Robert Madge (Gavroche), Mia Jenkins (Little Cosette), Earl Carpenter (The Bishop), Hadley Fraser (Grantaire), Jonathan Williams (Combeferre), Owain Williams (Feuilly), Killian Donnelly (Courfeyrac), Alistair Brammer (Jean Prouvaire), Jamie Muscato (Joly), Edward Baruwa (Lesgles), Phil Snowden (Brujon), Stephen Tate (Babet), Tony Timberlake (Claquesous), Keith Burns (Montparnasse), Jeff Nicholson (Factory Foreman), Grainne Renihan (Factory Girl), Valda Aviks (Crone), Cameron Blakely (Bamatabois), Peter Polycarpou (Pimp) Les Misérables - Asia Tour - June 2, 2016 (Highlights) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Simon Gleeson (Jean Valjean), Earl Carpenter (Javert), Patrice Tipoki (Fantine), Emily Langridge (Cosette), Paul Wilkins (Marius), Kerrie Anne Greenland (Éponine), Chris Durling (Enjolras), David McDonald (Thénardier), Jennifer Butt (Madame Thénardier), Austyn Myers (Gavroche), Rachel Schier (Little Cosette) NOTES: On My Own, Upon These Stones, Bring Him Home and two angles of the same One Day More Les Misérables - Dallas - August 2, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master) FORMAT:  VOB (no smalls) (SD) CAST: Nehal Joshi (Jean Valjean), Edward Watts (Javert), Allison Blackwell (Fantine), Dorcas Leung (Cosette), Justin Keyes (Marius), Elizabeth Judd (Éponine), John Campione (Enjolras), Steven Michael Walters (Thénardier), Christia Mantzke (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: A great capture of Dallas Theatre Center’s inventively staged production of Les Miserables. The much-talked about production did not disappoint; the modernized visuals create many new layers to the show, and make you think about events and characters in a whole new way. Nehal, Allison, Justin, and Christia were probably my favorites, but the entire cast is so talented, it’s difficult to choose any as standouts. A very nice capture overall. There are a couple quick dropouts in act one, but no major blackouts. There is one head that can be seen occasionally, but it only blocks a small portion of the stage and only affects the action for about 20-30 seconds of the entire show. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent as usual. Includes curtain call and playbill scans. Les Misérables - Duisburg - 1996 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: Jerzy Jeszke (Jean Valjean), Hardy Rudolz (Javert), Cornelia Drese (Fantine), Deborah Dutcher (Cosette), Felix Martin (Marius), Sanni Luis (Éponine), Martin Berger (Enjolras), Tom Zahner (Thénardier), Anne Welte (Madame Thénardier), Willi Welp (The Bishop) Les Misérables - Dutch Revival - Spring, 2008 FORMAT:  MP4 (SD) CAST: René van Kooten (Jean Valjean), Wim van den Driessche (Javert), Nurlaila Karim (Fantine), Suzan Seegers (Cosette), Jamai Loman (Marius), Céline Purcell (Éponine), Freek Bartels (Enjolras), Gerben Grimmius (u/s Thénardier), Marjolein Algera (Madame Thénardier) NOTES: Complete show, Amateur capture A, Double dvd Les Misérables - Fifth National Tour - October 5, 2018 (hitmewithyourbethshot's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Nick Cartell (Jean Valjean), Josh Davis (Javert), Mary Kate Moore (Fantine), Jillian Butler (Cosette), Joshua Grosso (Marius), Paige Smallwood (Éponine), Matt Shingledecker (Enjolras), J Anthony Crane (Thénardier), Allison Guinn (Madame Thénardier), Sam Middleton (Gavroche), Cate Elefante (u/s Little Cosette), Matt Moisey (Grantaire), Monte J Howell (Combeferre), Tim Quartier (s/w Feuilly), Christopher Viljoen (Courfeyrac), Patrick Rooney (Jean Prouvaire), Gabriel Sidney Brown (Joly), Andrew Maughan (Lesgles), Felipe Barbosa Bombonato (Babet), John Ambrosino (Claquesous), Steve Czarnecki (Factory Foreman), Ashley Dawn Mortensen (Factory Girl), John Ambrosino (Bamatabois) Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - November 11, 2006 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Victor Hawks (u/s Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Éponine), Aaron Lazar (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Jenny Galloway (Madame Thénardier), Jacob Levine (Gavroche), Drew Sarich (Grantaire) NOTES: A nice capture here of Victor as Valjean.

Widescreen. Cleaned up nicely in remastering. And it has Sarich. Les Misérables - First Broadway Revival - May 12, 2007 (Matinee) (jstarz's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Drew Sarich (u/s Javert), Lea Salonga (Fantine), Ali Ewoldt (Cosette), Adam Jacobs (Marius), Mandy Bruno (Éponine), Max von Essen (Enjolras), Gary Beach (Thénardier), Ann Harada (Madame Thénardier), Stephen Trafton (u/s Grantaire) NOTES: Filmed in widescreen (though encoded in 4:3, so there are bars at the top and bottom of the screen), this is a nice capture of some of the new cast members. Drew and Ann give great performances in their roles. The second disc also includes the first 15 minutes of the February 24, 2007 Evening show, filmed from the rear right orchestra.

He first understudied in 1999, when JOJ was the principal, which may explain the similarity. About half of the Chain Gang song missing and filming starts in earnest during Valjean on parole. Other parts missed because of ushers include several random one-second cover-ups, part of the wedding and about half of Finale. Heads in the way sometimes block the action on the lower right of the stage, but they are shot around well. Vantage point provides some interesting views such as of Fantine during Lovely Ladies.

Wondering Sound Interview with Clang Quartet, November 2014

My sole Wondering Sound piece ran on the now defunct site in November 2014, almost seven years ago. Life comes at you fast! It’s lived as a cut/paste in a Gmail draft folder ever since. High time it turned up here. Thanks again to Scotty Irving and J. Edward Keyes. -Raymond Cummings

It’s hardly an exaggeration to describe Clang Quartet show as a religious experience. At Ende Tymes 2014, amidst the piercing shriek of electronic noise, Scotty Irving, Clang Quartet’s sole member, lunged forward and back — sometimes wearing a hockey mask decorated with plastic toy food, sometimes convulsing madly while hoisting a cross with a sign that reading “KING OF THE JEWS.” He bashed piles of cymbals, and held aloft a banner (decorated with crime-scene tape and advertisements) announcing “LOVE,” “HOPE,” “FAITH,” and “SALVATION.” His discography, which spans 17 years, is diverse, containing grinding, sample-driven compositions as well as noisy versions of pop-rock standards like The Who‘s “Magic Bus” andAlice Cooper‘s “The Ballad of Dwight Fry.”

Live, Clang Quartet’s sound exists in a state of almost constant evolution. One minute, it’s a blitzkrieg of sharp, spear-like feedback; the next, it’s an enervating squeal that suggests the rubbing of wet balloons, the next, the chattering static of a walkie-talkie. The noisemaking devices Irving deploys, and the order in which he deploys them, vary from set to set. Accordingly, no two sets are exactly alike. Irving’s showmanship is the only through-line.

In conversation, Irving, 47, is nothing like his confrontational live persona — he’s gracious, gregarious and quick to crack a corny joke or five. He and his wife live in Stokesdale, North Carolina, where he works “in the financial division of a car dealership,” a day job that he says keeps him grounded. In an early October telephone interview, Irving talked about how Christianity informs his work in Clang Quartet, the profound influence of Einstürzende Neubauten and what it was like to be profiled in Modern Drummer.

How did you first encounter noise or experimental music?

While watching Night Flight [a 1980s late-night television program which, in its first incarnation, aired on the USA Network, showcasing work by artists operating in a variety of mediums]. They were showing videos MTV would not show. [Host] Lisa Robbins happened to have on a group named Einstürzende Neubauten. Part of me was, “What is this?” and part of me was, “What is this?!? ” It was a slap in the face to me; my idea of “outside of the mainstream” was Motörhead, and this made Motörhead seem tame. A documentary [on videotape] called Kingdom of Noise was my introduction to the Japanese noise scene. Like hearing Einstürzende Neubauten, it changedme. Being able to say that I’ve performed with quite a few people on that videotape is quite a thrill.

What was the first Clang Quartet show like?

It was on a week night. I was so nervous about that show that I sent invitations rather than just let people show up. I’ve never been more nervous about anything, except my wedding. That was 17 years ago this past January; I didn’t think I’d last 17 minutes. [Clang Quartet] has made me more confident as a Christian, as a person in general and as a performer, though I still get a little nervous as I go on stage. I never want to lose that excitement; it’s almost childlike.

Concurrently, I was the drummer for a band called Geezer Lake, which was a constructive time period for me. I learned a lot about music; that was the first band I was ever in where we wrote our own music. It opened a lot of doors for me.

In your performance, a lot of elements come into play: religious signifiers, emotional signifiers, even, in a sense, horror culture. It seems like you’re confronting something, and perhaps vanquishing it.

I like that observation. I think you pretty much nailed it. The words [on the cross and shoulder harness] represent my sins. A lot of people think it’s supposed to be the Seven Deadly Sins, but I’m pointing at things in my personal life. I feel that without Jesus Christ in my life, life is beating me up; with Jesus Christ I get confidence I wouldn’t have otherwise. There’s something out there I believe in that’s bigger than me that inspires me as a person. There’s some cathartic stuff going on.

I am a Christian, 100 percent. That means I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I became a Christian in 1984. Clang Quartet combines my beliefs as a Christian, my art background, and my interests in science-fiction and horror. My wife is an artist, and she’s very helpful. She sees all this stuff before anyone does.

At Ende Tymes 2014, I couldn’t figure out how you were triggering sounds on stage. When I watched some sets online I realized that your accessories double as instruments.

Every single thing I use on stage as a prop also functions as a sound-making device. I’m a fan of a lot of theatrical bands: KISS, Alice Cooper, Slipknot. I want theatrics to have something to do besides just look a certain way. A lot of what I use is not as detailed as people think it is, though.

Drums and cymbals also play a key role in your live sets. Did you ever play drums in a traditional rock band?

I have a hard-rock, heavy metal background that some people don’t pick up on with Clang Quartet; I’ve been a drummer since 1979, in all kinds of bands, cover bands. I was on a few basic hip-hop tracks for someone who wound up not using them. I know what I’m doing will never be full time, but it’s something I believe in. Fortunately, I enjoy my day job.

Sound wise, anything I do is somewhere along the line is rooted in drumming and percussion. I’ve been in Modern Drummer a few times. The first time I got a mention in that magazine, I can tell you, I burst into tears. I was stunned. I called my parents. I’ve been blessed, no doubt about it.

There’s a lot of emotion and physicality in your sets. How do you prepare, and what do you feel as you play?

I’m striving for authenticity. There are times I’ve been brought to tears. For preparation, I do something that’s equal parts prayer and stretching.

Certain aspects of what I do are left open for improvisation; I try to make it a bit different each time. I like to think that a higher power is controlling what happens. When I try to control what happens, it gets boring. None of it is random. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s something I believe in. I usually invite Mom and Dad when playing locally in sedate settings. They’ve been very supportive.

When the performance is over, what are you feeling?

To a certain extent, a feeling of euphoria, a feeling of relief, exhaustion. But I feel like I’ve done something I should be doing, something significant. If I had a lackluster performance or I’m not really tired, it’s like I didn’t put what I should’ve put into it.

Musically, what do you hope to achieve?

I’m not going to get on some pedestal and tell people what to believe. I hope what I’m doing inspires people in a spiritual direction, but I like when I inspire people from an artistic direction. I hope I’ve inspired people the way people have inspired me. I’m not out to annihilate anybody.

ETERNAL HOME PRESS:

"Even from the project’s earliest days, there has always been something of an ARG element to Fire-Toolz. On her 2017 breakthrough Drip Mental, Angel Marcloid gave every song an alternate “code name,” and its machine-gun volley of decontextualized samples seemed designed to explore the gap between reality and the media simulacra of the same; 2019’s brilliant Field Whispers (Into The Crystal Palace) pushed the idea even further, exploring concepts like the Advaita Vedanta and the holographic principle of reality. So it was probably only a matter of time before Marcloid ended up in Heaven—the alternate reality that gives Eternal Home its title. Appropriately, the album feels like the fullest manifestation of everything Marcloid has been pushing toward for the last six years—a bracing, 80-minute masterpiece with songs so densely layered it takes six or seven close listens to spot even half the details. As always, Marcloid deftly volleys between bright, jittery songs and scalding blasts of industrial-black-metal, but the scope here is unmistakably wider: The cotton-soft ping-ponging pads that open “Umbilical Cord Blood” gradually give way to ominous washes of synth and a noir-y, corkscrewing sax line; “Shenpa Indicator Light!!!”—one of the most immediately beautiful songs Marcloid has ever written—surrounds a yearning, emo-esque vocal melody with expansive electronic textures and the hopeful “Window 2 Window 2 Window 2 Window” (there’s that multiple-reality idea again) feels drenched in sunlight. The album’s core message could be summed up by saying, “Heaven is whenever you are living your truth.” On Eternal Home, Marcloid delivers heaven in track after track after track."

J. Edward Keyes/Bandcamp [link]

The word “dreamlike” often bears an association of hazy, fluid arrangements, but Angel Marcloid seizes on the chaotic and absurd whiplash of the subconscious in her work as Fire-Toolz. She burrows further into her all-encompassing explorations on her first double album Eternal Home. With the opening two-song set, “≈ In The Pinewaves ≈ / guardian angel bear,” Marcloid pulls from what seems like an unlimited expanse of textures, lending the impression of a supernatural architect. On “≈ In The Pinewaves ≈,” Marcloid’s harsh vocals scrape across an opening blast-beat chug, with an airy drift of saxophone and synths peeling away from a hard rhythmic stop. She sounds untethered from a body, charging through as a forceful and eerie presence. She clears out a quiet space as the song ends. Birdsong and electronic twitches flit around the light buzz of a cicada drone—until synths erupt again like an arcade cabinet thrown on in the middle of the woods, announcing the beginning of “guardian angel bear.” Amid her power-metal guitar riffs, wraith-like vocals, and neon arena-rock uplift, Marcloid dusts these songs with faint sparkles and other subtle surprises; an owl hoots between squalls. Marcloid keeps the paradoxes running until the final seconds of “guardian angel bear,” ending it with a thud and a twinkle: a quick twist of charm that underscores the buoyancy of her infinitely uncharted visions. -Allison Hussey/Pitchfork [link]

For Deleuze and Guattari, Kafka’s The Castle is a book with multiple ways through, the meaning changing depending on which entrance the reader chooses. Fire-Toolz’s fourth album on Hausu Mountain, Eternal Home, is too doused in vibrant light to be Kafkaesque, yet this idea of multiplicities resonates. As though an existential crisis has been pulled out of the air and rendered to audio so the listener can make their own sense of it. Angel Marcloid’s music as Fire-Toolz is a riddle wrapped in an enigma exploded through a reality bending sonic onslaught. Surreal electronic vistas bleeding into blast beats, new age transcendence melting into gargantuan shred. Eternal Home stretches that world and its dualities even further. ‘Shenpa Indicator Light!!!’ goes from smooth keys and sax through arena-rock glitch before shedding the glitz in a blaze of screams and frantic drum overload, all of it ultimately melting together in fractured equilibrium. ‘Yearning = Alchemical Fire’ bends electronics reminiscent of R Plus Seven-era Oneohtrix Point Never into a radiant, light-bathed black metal gallop. This sense of rupture hits a peak on ‘I am a Cloud’, a doom muzak ballad which sees Marcloid swing between broken pastorals and the slippery nature of reality itself to find her own space in the confusion: “The days spent in my meadow, I profess, life is a film.” The tracks here are epically scaled in their diversity, but it feels necessary for encircling the overwhelming cosmic and mental weight which dominates them. An enormity which resists a single interpretation. It’s tempting to keep tracing the different sonics imprinted in Fire-Toolz’s music, a hint of jazz fusion, the surprisingly jangly guitar on ‘Where on Earth is My Sacchidānanda?’, or ‘[Maternal ♥ Havening]’s blast through drum and bass. It’s also tempting to dismiss everything as made from quarks and leptons, but doing so only tells you so much about what matters in the world. Latching onto the slithers of familiarity in Eternal Home distracts from the disarming bigger picture. Eternal Home is music forged in the maelstrom, but it’s firmly pointed towards whatever light you choose as your solace. That’s felt most poignantly on ‘Thickflowyglowysparklystingy_pain.mpeg’, the album’s triumphant highpoint which sees a mighty riff act as defibrillator to fire you back out of the void. This sprawling double LP’s sheer intensity doesn’t feel intended to alienate the listener, so much as accompany them in processing the mind frying enormity of everything.

Daryl Worthington/The Quietus [link]

Angel Marcloid’s seventh album as Fire-Toolz is a 78-minute double LP, making it the project’s most ambitious release so far, which is saying a lot, considering how vast her sonic palette has always been, and how she’s explored such heavy concepts with her work. She explains the album’s title by stating that Heaven is our Eternal Home, but that “the conscious experience of it is a state of mind” and “it has nothing to do with the afterlife or religious theology.” Her music’s constant juxtaposition of extremities signifies that despite all the conflict and traumatic experiences in her life, she is always safe at home. By this point, Marcloid’s fusion of progressive metal arrangements, black metal howling, and vaporwave textures (including smooth jazz sax soloing) is second nature for her, and she executes every time change, cathartic scream, and sparkling synth tone with finesse and passion. Yet she continues to surprise even longtime listeners with unexpected shifts and additions, while potentially drawing in new fans with her most accessible songwriting to date. Apart from a few longer suites, most of the songs are fairly brief, yet packed with ideas. “Yearning = Alchemical Fire” is a catchy industrial synth pop number with perky synth melodies, and “Shenpa Indicator Light!!!” progresses from clean vocals, stuttering beats, and aired-out saxophone to an easy listening drill'n'bass nightmare in two-and-a-half minutes. A brilliant stretch of songs during the album’s midsection lean closer into alternative rock influences than Marcloid’s previous work, with “Thick_flowy_glowy_sparkly_stingy_pain.mpeg” having a dramatic mall-goth sway, and “Where On EARTH Is My Sacchidānanda?” somehow managing to blend screamo, shoegaze, and billowing ambient loops without sounding confusing. “Window 2 Window 2 Window 2 Window 2 Window” is an especially frenetic collision of electro-industrial, glitchy noise, and hyperpop, while others like “This Particular Universe Is Friendly ;)” insert panic-stricken post-hardcore breakdowns into cuddly new age. Chaotic yet tightly controlled, Eternal Home is boundlessly creative, and up there with Skinless X-1 as Marcloid’s best work.

Paul Simpson/Allmusic [link]

What initially drew me to Fire-Toolz were the songs that sounded like death metal broadcast from a Windows 95 screensaver, but Angel Marcloid's experimental alias runs much deeper than that. If that description piqued your interest, her new three-disc album is a great opportunity to explore her world.

-Jordan Darville/The Fader [link]

While listening to Fire-Toolz, it is very often – almost every few seconds, in fact – that I find myself asking: how’d she manage to do it? How is it that these 56k modem-like noises fit perfectly with a Chrono Trigger-adjacent melody and a black metal growl? As with Rainbow Bridge (2020), here’s music that truly feels new, whose potential resides in the wonder of seeing jewelled treasures where most see something so banal it is unworthy of attention. It is both infinite and total, a mystical perspective that in the small and insignificant finds the divine, flourishing with the glistening traces of the everyday as it ponders the colorful voids that connect our lives with what lies beyond them. Eternal Home’s collage aptly opens us up to the fact that sometimes that connection happens to sound like the heartfelt core of a Deftones song; sometimes it flows from a soft jazz fusion riff; sometimes it is the particular beeps of 16-bit videogame electronics; sometimes it is the grinding pitch of a screamo vocal. Yet that is only one side of what makes Eternal Home such a moving listen: a mystic, after all, is also someone who reflects the divine in virtuous acts of worldly transformation. Angel Marcloid’s sheer technical prowess is tied to an adventurous talent that constantly pushes the significance of all types of musical elements beyond its limits, to a point, precisely, where entirely dissimilar styles and sounds converge. It is not that a new meaning is given, or at least not exactly, but that all possible meanings clash, stand side by side, coincide to form an endless, multitudinous fountain of meaningful becoming. At 80 minutes long, it feels like a foray into a sublime wilderness where feelings are thoughts unleashed, like a dreamscape of early 2000s aesthetic references, themselves channelled through their own early 90s elements. It is memory as kaleidoscopic mass, an undifferentiated wave that first causes paralysis – it is all too much – but then, once the bounds of reason become undone, it opens the way for intensity, for a kind of rhythmical clarity that intuitively reconstructs those aesthetics as an aesthetic of belonging. All the fragments and their infinities are, under the mystic’s experience, an expression of the essential continuities within them, and the capacity for us to share in that divine link. Just like the 2000s belong to the 90s and the 2020s belong to the 2010s and the 2000s, so do we belong in this unpredictable dream-state of flux, this Eternal Home where everything is simultaneously significant and insignificant. “Our Eternal Home is Heaven. Heaven is the ultimate reality of our shared Being, but the conscious experience of it is a state of mind (a dimension we are meant for)”, states Marcloid in the liner notes, explaining that “it has nothing to do with the afterlife or religious theology.” Listening to Eternal Home, I thought about the ages-old idea about the un-representability of the divine, and how this music captures that abstraction only to make an experimental attempt not to represent but to express that otherworldly quality. Its abstraction is the cutting up of various musical realities, a collage that should not sound this good by virtue of the considerable differences between its elements, and yet melts into something that appears to have definite form but truly doesn’t. The seams are there for all to listen to, the dissonances allowed to bloom into beautiful noise explosions, the harmonies spreading afterwards like nuclear fallout. The density of Fire-Toolz’ work, in other words, is transparent, but its transparency is, simply put, also mystifying. The excessive, stimulant overload of this music leads not to a world beyond our own but straight into its bowels, made of the same substance as everything we deem commonplace, perhaps even unsuitable for close consideration, from nu-metal to new age to soft music to emo to cat videos to computer file names to videogame console startup jingles, and so on and so forth towards infinity. There’s something worth repeating about this music that is extremely rare and should not be taken lightly: it does sound new. Not in the avant-garde way that means it sounds completely alien, but that it retains something purely inexplicable at its core. There might be words to describe it, and surely better writers than myself will find them, but I firmly believe that they do not belong to the realm of music writing, but to the realm of words people use to talk to their loved ones and animal companions, or to the playfulness of inside jokes and meanings known only to a few close relationships – the realm of words that tie each of our infinities together, not as one, but as a formless, chaotic multitude. Eternal Home sounds like an everyday ritual, with all its joys, griefs, and contentments, a jewel that is also just a rock, precious solely because it’s there, and nothing more.

David Murrieta Flores/A Closer Listen [link]

The musical world Angel Marcloid assembles as Fire-Toolz is maximal and restless, flashing restlessly through genres and ideas - from new age ambientalism to fusion jazz, prog metal, IDM, chiptune, death core and more testing the extremes of intensity and technical execution. A barrage of violent and tender moments framed by blast beats and virtuosic guitar, crystallised in neon synths and screams, whimsical sound design and Fourth World atmospherics. On Eternal Home, Marcloid has mastered her language of hyper-omnivorous everythingness, creating a temporal musical expression that reflects the complexities and constant becomings of life. The effect is bewildering and invigorating. The double LP is divided into four themed album sides, each exploring different spiritual energies and existential themes. Marcloid’s voice is processed with formant effects to sound genderless, more than human and legion, her screams at times recalling Claudio Sanchez of Coheed And Cambria. Proggy chops are abundant on tracks like “Odd Cat Sanctuary” and ”OFF 2 Lost Vagus.” Calmer instrumental pieces like ”(e)y(e)s w/o a %brain%“ and the latter parts of “This Particular Universe Is Friendly ;)” punctuate the chaos, creating space to breathe and drawing attention to Marcloid’s deft sound design. The production is meticulously detailed with late 1990s and turn of the millennium aesthetics rendered so convincingly you could be forgiven for thinking it was a sample based bricolage. TherE are a few glimpses of her process, like the Logic Pro click that closes out “Rubber Band Wrist” which feels akin to noticing a dangling thread exposing the seam of a fantastical garment. The artful and confident mangling of the familiar and the unexpected creates a sense of alien newness; a labyrinthine postmodern, post-digital core of world creating potential that Marcloid demonstrates across Eternal Home’s 25 tracks. There’s a lot to wrap your ears and brain around, and it can make a strange load of sense if you allow yourself to be carried away by its relentless stream.

RIYL Atari Teenage Riot, Machine Girl, Genghis Tron WHY YOU SHOULD CARE Under the name Fire-Toolz, Chicago multi-instrumentalist Angel Marcloid moves tornado-like across a vast sonic terrain, gobbling up pieces of black metal, cybergrind, new age, vaporwave, jazz, breakcore and more, creating a hulking whirlwind of sounds that crash and congeal at a dizzying pace. Witchy shrieks fling above placid puddles of ambience; speckles of synth stardust glimmer in the darkness of industrial cosmos; proggy guitar solos stretch out of oceanic washes of noise, dive back underwater and emerge as giddy drum-breaks flanked with black-metal howls. Strap in. QUOTE “I feel like this is a spiritual happening. I feel like I’m just a vessel for it,” Marcloid says of their creative process. “My mission statement to myself is to not block that flow for any reason … rarely throw anything out.” In many ways, the project seems like a reaction to old bands of theirs that had stricter rules. “When I played in metal or emo bands as a younger person, I’d always want to bring in lots of weird guitar effects, keyboards, drum machines, but no one else really felt like that made any sense.” In Fire-Toolz, anything goes. “It’s like commissioning an architect and saying, ‘Can you build me a very stable and strong version of my ridiculously stupid idea?’ And both the client and the architect are me.” -Eli Enis/Revolver [link]

Last year Fire-Toolz‘ Angel Marcloid melted our faces with Rainbow Bridge, an encompassing blitz of genre and suspense that ranked among the best of our Top 50 albums for 2020. Today, Fire-Toolz returns with “Shenpa Indicator Light!!!” – a frenzied offering complete with new age gloss, a propelling sax solo that serves as the song’s North Star, and a colorfully clever video by Faye Fadem that harkens back to Crazy Frog animation as much as it does to the feeling of waking up from an uncanny dream and trying to map the plot. This single is the first piece from Fire-Toolz’ next project, a double LP called Eternal Home, due out on Oct. 15 through Chicago’s Hausu Mountain label. As an artist and producer, Marcloid plays with genre like the best musicians master an instrument. Never a visitor in these areas though, Marcloid melts sound and sonics down to liquid and freezes them in new shapes and forms. You can trace inspiration throughout her work, but the way she shreds these connections and builds them into new spheres is truly the most marveling aspect of her work. The video’s main character seems to be journeying through a dream – or is it? Gazing into the trash, the purple protagonist is presented with a sax by Marcloid, and conquers the cityscape until forces of doubt, pain, and diversion rain from above. Fadem’s video presents a number of easter eggs and quick stills that deserve repeated watches, screenshots, and additional analysis. The song and video scans as a riddle, and presents plenty of clues for where Marcloid is heading on Eternal Home.
