LAKE SHARK HN #21 (CD)
by THE RITA

“What happens when responsibility leaves the body? Pushing a button and having something occur which is beyond your control. These recordings of Kawasaki KX500 two-stroke motocross engines and WWII fighter machine guns dispensed by THE RITA are research and product. The project of Sam’s project is the notion that the correct items together form a sound. This is engineering. What these machines do is what Sam does, but these machines are also what Sam wants. Please buy this tape. Album of the year.”
- Gabi Losoncy

The Kawasaki KX500:
“...riding a 500cc two-stroke is like being strapped to a bomb that is ready to explode - you just don’t know when. The countdown starts when you rotate the crank to get the piston at top-dead center. Then, with a strong, swift kick, it ignites the fuel in the combustion chamber, setting the bomb’s timer in motion.”

The WWII Fighter Machine Gun:
“Armament consisted of two air-cooled Browning AN/M2 .50-caliber machine guns mounted in the cowling and synchronized to fire forward through the propeller arc, with 380 rounds of ammunition per gun, and four Browning AN/M2 .30-caliber aircraft machine guns, with two in each wing.”

CD collection of raw, slightly overdriven pre-recorded samples of Kawasaki KX500 two-stroke motocross engines and various Allied and Axis WWII fighter machine guns. Curated by THE RITA.
