"A Pound Of Flesh" is a tour de force solo offering by musical polymath
Weasel Walter. Known for his wide ranging work with ensembles like The
Flying Luttenbachers, Cellular Chaos, XBXRX, Behold The Arctopus, and
Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, as well as his prolific career as an improviser,
producer, and composer, Walter reveals almost 5 hours of long, abstract
forms in this monolithic set. Ranging from detailed electro-acoustic
music to athletic solo drumming, skronkily deconstructed power trio
improvisations to minimalistic horrorscapes, harsh noise walls to solo
guitar deconstructions, "A Pound Of Flesh" is a manifesto of internal
coherence and brutal aesthetics. This box contains 4 CDs as well as a
full color 12 page booklet discussing the compositions. The
numbered/signed edition is limited to 100 copies only.

First Flying Luttenbachers shows in 10 years in France March 2017
The Flying Luttenbachers is a seminal
band which originally existed between 1991 and 2007 and ran a renegade
stylistic gamut from hardcore Free Jazz improvisation to rigorous
Modernist composition, uniting many threads of outsider aesthetics
under the dictatorship of composer and instrumentalist Weasel Walter.
Alumni of the group include experimental rock heavies like Ed Rodriguez
(Deerhoof), Mick Barr (Krallice), Jonathan Hischke (Les Butcherettes, Hella)
and Alex Perkolup (Cheer-Accident), as well as noted improvisers Fred
Lonberg Holm, Jeb Bishop, Hal Russell, and Ken Vandermark. Over the
course of 16 official releases, The Flying Luttenbachers stood for
everything bracing and cathartic in modern music before the project
ended.
March 2017 marks the
first Flying Luttenbachers performances in more than a decade. The new
New York City-based trio, featuring Weasel Walter (drums), Tim Dahl
(bass guitar) and Chris Welcome (guitar), will focus on new
interpretations of classic material, keeping the thread of the project
while expanding the sonic possibilities into the present.

Yet Another Brand New Weasel Walter Solo Release - On Cassette!
I have some copies of my most recent solo cassette, "Expensive Taste", for those of you outside of the US who asked about it.
USA folks can order direct from the label at KITTY PLAY
This release features 6 tracks of deconstructed skronk. It's a bit much. I recommend it. I wouldn't have released it otherwise.

New Weasel Walter solo release on Tombed Visions
https://tombedvisionsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-inevitable
"Having commissioned Weasel Walter for a release for Tombed Visions, I wasn’t disappointed when he sent me back the riotous, unrelenting and rhythmically audacious ‘The Inevitable’. What simply astonished me, was that this was a solo a recording. Exactly. I literally had to triple check this fact with him. This a not the sound of a well-oiled, well giged and near telepathic trio, but the sound of one man playing with the ferocity and inventiveness of 20. A man that has such a complete vision of his own language that he literally able to perform, improvise and summon the sound of band that have been playing together for decades all on markedly different instruments, clawing out the most extreme sonics from Double Bass, Drums and Guitar. And that’s because Weasel has been doing exactly this for decades. Both sides rush by like an express train to pain. Even in the moments when the drum grooves become stuttered and shards of space are cleft in the sound, the double bass carving out deep, coagulated earthen rumbles, these pockets of seeming rest are permeated by a kind of amphetamine rush, waiting to kick back in and turn you synapses into cinder. And there is so much groove in this record. Weasel’s skin shearing, acidic surf guitar is perhaps the guiding force of the record, spraying the battle locked drum and bass with sheets of sounds that’ll sting your eyes with the amount of sweat they’ve been produced with. Although seemingly unremitting and sustained in its sonic attack, the aptly titled ‘The Inevitable’ has so much worthy of revision in it. Of course, it’s a by the throat record, but repeated listens, when you focus the individual patterns, licks, contrapuntal elements involved in the maelstrom your ears are bleeding from, there is a real mastery to be detected. So much detail is in the ferocity, which makes it all the more alarming. This is a beating administered by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. And you should just accept and submit to it." - Tombed Visions press blurb

Weasel Walter "Curses" released today on CD/digital formats
My new album, "Curses", is released today. It is a 79 minute long, 99 track program in four long movements. "Curses" is technically a work of electro-acoustic music involving percussion and electronics. It is probably somewhat unlike anything else people would associate me with. It is detailed work focused on timbre and structure. The program can be played either in sequence or in shuffle mode. It should be played at a fairly loud volume.
links to the digital and CD versions are below.
