back in 2009 , and how their mutual passion for these radically retro ( but completely fresh ) artists they were contacting and being contacted by moved them to want to release their music . and one ep at a time , one lp at a time , hippos in tanks began floating in the ether .
this is true . i saw nine hippos at 6 zoos over the last 10 months and 7 were coughing .
barron machat , the co - founder and ceo of record label hippos in tanks , has died . tri angle ' s robin carolan and oneohtrix point never shared the news on twitter . he was 27 years old . the cause of death has not been confirmed .
considering that this la - based label’s name comes from a novel co - written by jack kerouac & william s . burroughs a whole 10 years before they became “ jack kerouac ” and “ william s . burroughs , ” the creators of hippos in tanks are placing themselves firmly in the timeline of music alt . culture history . trafficking in a left of - left of center avant - synth zone , hippos in tanks is doing really bold work that should be recognized right now , but may very well be so cutting edge that it’s the label kids will be talking about in 20 years in the same way that ze records ( and “no wave” ) was so informative to the early 2000s .
the los angeles based label hippos in tanks was founded five years ago by machat and travis woolsey , and released music by artists including dean blunt , autre ne veut and hype williams , as well as james ferraro and nguzunguzu . machat had recently been working with yung lean and the sad boys .
i read in a magazine that hippos only cough sometimes . you know , like cause of all the water around them . they ' ll just start coughing .
i recently sat down for a margarita with label head , barron machat , whose youthful idealism and profound respect for the artists he’s releasing is super - inspiring . he told me the story of how hippos in tanks had started as an offshoot of a late - night radio show he’d co - curated with travis woolsey for
hippos in tanks comes through two independent interests in recorded music : my interests and those of my partner barron machat . in both cases our passions were fostered through our families , who lead record - centric existences . our experiences and relationship with records differ greatly yet we ultimately reached the same conclusion : we should take part in making music . we owe a special debt to our fathers who passed this wonderfully meaningful disease onto us .
indeed , and the hippos were boiled in their tanks has reached a time when it will be loved , and that raises real questions over its literary merit . but then again , who really cares , so long as it’s a fun read ? the key is in both authors calling it ‘hard - boiled’ . when was hard - boiled ever really out and out literary ?
and the hippos is quite engaging . highly recommended for those compelled by the beats , i found myself laughing out loud many times , definitely worthwhile .
hippos in tanks’ last record was released in 2013 , but in recent years machat had worked with swedish rapper yung lean and the sad boys as part of emotional management . machat was from a music family : his father was steven machat , the music lawyer and manager behind the book gods , gangsters and honour , and his grandfather was marty machat , a lawyer and manager who worked closely with leonard cohen and phil spector .
barron machat , co - founder of hippos in tanks , has died . although the cause of death is still undetermined , the news began to spread early yesterday morning via a series of tweets and instagram images from hippos in tanks ' alumni and folks close with machat , including james ferraro , daniel lopatin , arca , laurel halo , and tri angle , among others . together with label co - founder travis woolsey , machat helped cultivate the careers of arca , games / ford & lopatin , dean blunt , inga copeland , sleep ∞ over , james ferraro , d ' eon , and lauren halo - - all largely underground producers who went on to experience much larger audiences after working with the label . machat was 27 .
this resulted in a vast ceramic oeuvre that he has exhibited worldwide in countless major museums such as the bass museum in miami , the crac in sète and the louvre in paris .
nonetheless , it changed much . kerouac was now married , carr was gone from the circle , and all of the writing of the time centred on the infamous event . ginsberg wrote the bloodsong , but was warned by the assistant dean that columbia didn’t need any more bad publicity . kerouac and burroughs , however , wrote a novel called , strangely , and the hippos were boiled in their tanks .
with an already future - classic release from games under their belt , and a phenomenal roster of great young talent with solid releases from next wave artists like hype williams , d’eon , grimes , sleep - over , laurel halo , and most recently synth wunderkind james ferraro ( who simon reynolds recently likened to jean baudrillard in his latest book , retromania ) hippos in tanks have already been named one of fact magazines “ labels of 2011 . ”
on april 9 , 2015 , barron alexander machat passed away due to a car crash in miami at the age of 27 . machat was the co - founder of los angeles - based label hippos in tanks , home to experimental pioneers james ferraro , laurel halo , arca , hype williams , dean blunt , and more . he also managed artists like yung lean and the sad boys under emotional management . coming from a family of music industry giants , he gracefully followed his father steven machat ' s footsteps in representing standout artists in his own underground way with the biggest heart and dreams .
the ( non ) publication history of and the hippos were boiled in their tanks isn ' t one to inspire confidence either . apparently the yet to be famous duo submitted the work to most of the publishers in america shortly after completing it in 1945 and not one took it on . kerouac might have declared in a letter to his sister , deliciously unaware of what the future held for him , that the novel
can ' t be beat
, but no one else was interested .
in hindsight , i don ' t see why they should have been ,
burroughs told his biographer in the mid 1980s .
it wasn ' t sensational enough … nor was it well written enough .
i remained unimpressed , even when i heard that the book gloried in the title and the hippos were boiled in their tanks and saw the beautifully understated cover . i was especially wary of anything that might somehow so far have escaped publication , since the beats were already quite prepared to publish any amount of incoherent guff in their own lifetimes . kerouac ' s book of dreams , which i forced myself to read when a student , is a not even half - formed case in point . that ' s a book that the man wrote when half asleep . about stuff he couldn ' t remember properly . and wasn ' t even that interesting in the first place . what could possibly have merited less attention from the barrel scraper than that ?
jamison stoltz is a senior editor at grove atlantic . he edits nonfiction—recent titles include the voyeur’s motel by gay talese , the comedians by kliph nesteroff , neither snow nor rain by devin leonard , and eccentric orbits by john bloom—and fiction , including donna leon’s new york times - bestselling commissario guido brunetti mystery series , and the novels of mark haskell smith , deon meyer , and mike lawson . notable forthcoming books include simon ings’ stalin and the scientists , tracy borman’s the private lives of the tudors , and carrie gibson’s el norte . in 2008 he oversaw the original publication of jack kerouac and william s . burroughs’s collaborative novel and the hippos were buried in their tanks . before joining grove atlantic in 2005 , he worked at the william morris agency in london and new york , and in publicity at houghton mifflin in new york .
a couple of years ago , i lived in a big house with tons of roommates who were also in bands . barron and other hippos in tanks artists stayed at my house—it was insane , i think there were like at least 13 people staying with us that week . it was barron ' s first time to austin , and he was enchanted with how safe and nice it was . so to make space in the house , he just slept in the park across the street from my house in a sleeping bag . i told him countless times that obviously he could sleep inside , but i think it went along with this romantic provincial idea he had of austin—like he had to do it because he could . i still remember driving to work in the morning , seeing him sleeping in the park , thinking ,
what a goofball .
he had a special sense of adventure , and sought to find the magic in what most people saw as totally banal . what he did was important .
last week , with the news of barron machat ' s tragic passing in a car crash at the age of 27 , i experienced the heartbreak of what felt like another chapter in music coming to a close . i wasn ' t a close personal friend of barron ' s , but hippos in tanks , his label , probably put out more releases i cared about than any other label i grew up alongside as a writer . it ' s hard to generalize about the 47 releases that came out within the los angeles - based label ' s four years of activity , though they had the commonality of being generally technology - obsessed , sounding consistently strange , and always seeming a year or so ahead of what everyone in music—from the underground community to the pop world—would be talking about .
in between , there was a description , by kerouac , in vanity of duluoz , but the truth was heavily distorted . kerouac talked about it with ann charters , for his biography . and two years later , excerpts of hippos appeared in a magazine and burroughs had to sue to protect carr , who was trying to work a stable life as a journalist . a short excerpt , too , came in word virus , but still there was no great effort made to bring about this near mythical text .

in early 2009 a pivotal change occurred in the form of a new opportunity : we received a request to host a radio show on los angeles station kxlu . the slot left a lot to be desired seeing that it was from 2 - 4am on saturday morning , but it offered us the chance to build something ourselves and play records , so we accepted . the title of the program was hippos in tanks ( named after a novel written by burroughs and kerouac ) and initially focused on vintage sounds . the program went on to have several incarnations during it ' s run before we settled on playing contemporary music . the time spent curating and broadcasting proved to be an important element of developing the label identity and more importantly the show gave us a confidence , albeit modestly that our taste ' s were something people enjoyed .
this was lucien carr , best known to beat watchers as the dedicatee of allen ginsberg ' s howl . when carr died in 2005 he was a respected united press editor and family man . back in 1944 things were very different . then he was 17 and beautiful :
the kind of boy literary fags write sonnets to , which start out ' o graecian lad '
, as burroughs says in the hippos book . he was sexually ambivalent , the friend of the fast living jack kerouac , william burroughs and allen ginsberg . and he was a murderer .

in the aforementioned the wire article , keenan posits a solution for the underground ' s
selling out problem
in a complete retreat from the marketplace and from visibility , in the avant - garde ' s categorical withdrawal unto itself :
at this point we need to shut down dialogue , halt conversation , put down the iphone . we need a ruthlessly stratified , exclusionary , hermetic , refusenick art .
to that seemingly defeatist stance , i hope hippos will be remembered for laying the groundwork to an alternative template for the avant - garde : dive headfirst into the world you hate . wrestle with it . make art about it . become a vigilante .

his beautifully coloured sculptures that take on all manner of forms are full of ( double entendre ) references and ‘winks’ which mean that their complex interrelationships and meaning is far from easy to define . the themes are often ‘veiled’ in the sculpture or are to be found in the title , in some instances more explicitly . in this way there are examples to be seen from his famous odore di femmina - and from the impressive glorie series .

many of johan creten’s sculptures were created in close collaboration with ceramic atelier struktuur 68 in the hague and the famous french porcelain maker manufacture nationale de sèvres . the craftsmanship of such institutions in combination with creten’s artistry produces exceptionally beautifully executed works of art , each of which has its own unique appeal . he also devotes a great deal of attention to the skin of his sculptures . this can be rough or aggressive , covered in crystals and small details , or indeed smooth by the application of a glossy layer of glaze .
in 1967 dick raaijmakers launched the concept of the ideophone : a loudspeaker that becomes an active ‘speaker’ and composes its own music . between 1968 and 1970 he continued to elaborate the concept , eventually creating large installations that were all entitled ideophone ( a combination of ‘idea’ and ‘phone’ , meaning a speech sound or sound unit in isolation ) . this exhibition presents ideophone iii , an installation comprising four large loudspeakers . metal plates suspended in front of the centres of these ‘speakers’ are alternately kicked away in a perpetual cycle of movement .

when kammerer and carr left the bar at three in the morning , to walk and talk by the hudson river , it was the last time anyone would see kammerer alive . according to carr , kammerer tried to sexually assault the younger man , and carr defended himself by stabbing his attacker twice in the chest with a small boy scout knife . in a panic , carr filled kammerer’s pockets with stones and throw his body into the hudson river .
back in december , the uk music critic david keenan published an editorial in the year - in - review edition of the wire that upset a lot of people i know .
it ' s 2014 and the underground is finally dead ,
his retrospective began ,
a corpse where every nth generation inanity has its champion , where every artist is his or her own pr machine .
he continued :
in 2014 , underground music has become a mere fetish , something to throw in the mix for credentials while never allowing the approach to fully deform the music or take it anywhere else . even industrial , one of the most consistent bulwarks against the commodification of revolt [ … ] has become nothing more than ambient , beat driven wallpaper .
practically , the labels beginning occurred after i graduated college and went to work for an online company in los angeles , which is where i met barron . the business was music related but bares nothing in common with the label . from the start , the two of us realized that we share similar dispositions in life ( the most salient being that we share the same birthday ) and developed a powerful friendship . eventually we came to understand that our engagement with the company was simply a job and while it served us in the most basic ways there was a tremendous amount of dissatisfaction . namely , the rapture of economic security dissolved and in it ' s wake lied a future of blunt horizontal flatness . as people , we felt our time was worth spending on something more meaningful then material comfort and charted a course to build something we could have a greater , non - material stake in – a label .
defying logic , surreally pleasant and peaceful , with a definite air of physical precariousness , the image of a hippo in a tank is a powerful one .

but two days later , carr broke under the strain of guilt and turned himself in to the police . burroughs and kerouac were arrested . burroughs used his family’s money to pay the bail , but kerouac couldn’t , and was bizarrely forced to marry edie parker in order for her family to pay his own bail .

in the exhibition kim hospers ( 1982 ) presents his complete ' esse est percipi # whatever ' series , which consists of 12 x 12 small format color pencil drawings . they depict photos of pranks that he finds on the internet : people that have fallen asleep because of drukenness or tiredness whose faces have been painted or written upon , by family or friends to redicule them . kim hospers interpretets this phenomenon in a postive way : in their riduculouness they are all equal and hence equally ' worthy ' . typical is the craftmanship and meticulous rendering of details used in the drawings that contrasts with the volatile and randomness of the photos on social media .
gatekeeper and steven machat have also organized a memorial this sunday , april 19 at trans pecos in ridgewood , new york . all are encouraged to come stop by .
but that was where the story ended between the two parties , as carr went to seek refuge with burroughs . burroughs , a good friend of kammerer , simply told carr to get a good lawyer and turn himself in . indeed , burroughs’ use of his family’s wealth to hire good lawyers kept him from a life in jail .
the new york times correctly described johan creten as an artist who was able to take ceramics out of the traditional conventions and help it gain a leading position in the field of contemporary art . he has used clay and ceramics since the 1980s in a highly original , personal way , and this has resulted in sculptural works with a deep conceptual basis . clay is not longer le parent pauvre ( the poor relation ) , but a material that has a serious artistic aura and limitless new possibilities .

it seems they limited one another , although not necessarily in a bad way . they could only write what they knew , after all , and they both new different things , both in terms of facts and of style . one can tell when reading portions of the book where something was written by kerouac or burroughs . burroughs’ sections contain strong and mystical descriptions of drug use , gay sex , and hallucinatory violence . kerouac’s sections ramble on . but neither author goes to the extremes reached in his own books .

“it wasn’t sensational enough to make it from that point of view , nor was it well - written or interesting enough to make it from a purely literary point of view . it sort of fell in - between . it was very much in the existentialist genre , the prevailing mode of the period , but that hadn’t hit america yet . it just wasn’t a commercially viable property . ”
in celebration of machat ' s life and achievements , we asked his label mates , friends , and people he grew up with to share their memories—whether it was their initial meetings with barron , or him going that extra mile for them to see the world in his eyes . here is what gatekeeper , uno , sleep ∞ over , nguzunguzu , d ' eon and more had to say .

the result , we now see , is perhaps not a classic work of literature , but certainly an interesting one , and not the epic failure that burroughs tried to have us all believe with his dismissive comments in the eighties . instead , there is now something else for beat fans to read , to learn a little more about beat history , now that all the players in the scenario are safely entombed beyond the grave . there are no more hurt feelings , no more treading carefully .

it ' s been cited over and over in reviews how fully in control of xen ghersi seems to be , and yet the opposite is true . the album sounds like how it was recorded ( over the course of six months , mostly improv ) , unfolding in fits of introspection and spastic release , reflective of the mental state of both the tunesmith and the androgynous alter - ego it ' s named after . that kind of approach left xen feeling confused , with little to grab onto as its tunes evaporated one after the other . but if the listener held on , the record deepened and gelled in a powerful way that none of his efforts have done before . it ' s still just as much of a labyrinth to get through as it was the day it was released , but xen is all the wiser for letting listeners draw the map to get through it for themselves . everyone you talk to about it is going to have a different favorite part . - - brad stabler

( amsterdam version ) , 2012 is shown in which 21 children open the curtain . annemarie filmed the classmates of her son , then 9 years old and in the fifth grade of the primary school , everyone at home . the concept is simple , but provides a wealth of images : 21 children , 21 curtains and 21 times a view that is opened on a small , framed piece of amsterdam . the music is from bill withers , he sings :

the lurid fascination of this ugly story is well replicated in the novel . the true ( ish ) story that burroughs and kerouac tell is sleazy , raw and painfully close to the bone even by the standards of the beats . it ' s impressively bleak .
we would describe it as an experience of alienation ; alienation from a world that contains lots of facts and data , lots of words and more words and objects , heaps of estranged objects . it felt as if you are being in outer space , alone with your own internal dialogue surrounded by lots of leftovers from your personal past , from the history of civilisation and from the products of a culture you are part of and that you are somehow failing to put together . in the work of sam , this ‘failure’ of connecting these elements suddenly reveals a parallel fascinating experience . the verbiage becomes materiality : sculptural and the real materials in combination with the way sam interacts with them transmits a sensorial experience that gets close to the youtube sensation of asmr ( autonomous sensory meridian response ) .
