  • 2015 Interview.Pdf
    Interview from Spew, #87 February 2015 (originally published in abridged form) 2014’s triple disc behemoth Harshest Realm is the self-titled debut release of a musical project spearheaded by one Garret Kriston, a Chicago based musician whose formative years were split between formal studies and basement recording before toiling within the city’s DIY/punk scene. Now he has emerged with a sprawling document of what surely is a vast arsenal of artistic capabilities. Harshest Realm is now available via Coolatta Lounge CDs, along with fellow traveler Marshall Stacks’s latest jammers Lost in Sim City and the Snake Eyes/Point Blank single. ___________________________________________ Let’s start by giving the folks at home some background information. I’m particularly interested in learning how your relationship with music has developed over the years, so as to better understand where the music on the Harshest Realm album came from. No problem. I’m going to not hold back from rattling off influences and favorites, if that’s okay. Totally. The more the merrier. I was born at home on March 3rd, 1990 in Oak Park, down the street from Chicago’s west side, near Harlem between Harrison and Roosevelt. My earliest memory of music was seeing archival footage of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show, which made playing guitar in a band and singing original songs seem like the most appealing activity in existence. I might have been two going on three, and I don’t remember much else from then besides puking in my crib and seeing carrots in it (the puke.) My older brother was discovering “classic rock,” so there were rock related bootleg VHS tapes in the house that would get played over and over.

  • WORLD from a SINGLE STRING Terry De Castro, Los Angeles, 2010
    WORLD FROM A SINGLE STRING Terry de Castro, Los Angeles, 2010 “…He’s forged his own way and came up with systems that no one formally trained in foundation would have come up with; he breaks the rules from the ground up.” --Rhys Chatham “…The entire history of my work in music has been derived from a single, subjective experience with sound.” --Arnold Dreyblatt Arnold Dreyblatt can’t recall exactly where he read it, but anthropologists seem to suggest that the first primary string instrument preceded the first weapon. The implication here, appealingly idealistic, is that music is more primal than even violence, and that the first stringed bow generated a musical vibration long before it ever launched an arrow. Few composers exemplify the basic, fundamental, original aspects of music making as exquisitely as Arnold Dreyblatt. He strips everything down and builds it back up again from its auspicious beginnings, from a time when the first human being created a sound not for utility, but for the sake of art. With slight formal training in composition or traditional theory, his initial desire to make music came from an “amateur” interest in the physics of vibration and the raw materials of sound. From this starting point arose the fundamental question: what happens when I excite this string? The rest of his music grew from that premise, and his experiments in acoustics and instrument construction led him into an increasingly complex and subtle world. He discovered that what does happen is that a fragile system of existing, archetypical tones and rhythms reveals itself, a world he has been exploring ever since.
