Man or Myth? - DJ Faust
MAN OR MYTH?
DJ FAUST
DJ Faust presents a total of 27 monsterous scratching tracks
on his debut album Man or Myth? Faust, able to adapt turntables as a
musical instrument, creates a dimension of sound and imagination that
teleports the listener into a surreal world of music, the world of the
turntablist.
Man or Myth was constructed without any samplers, effects or
sequencers. "Echoes were laid like a pause tape - turn the volume
down, re-record, turn it down more, re-record etc." explains Faust.
The result is a string of musical compositions that bombard the
listener with a fury of instruments, sound effects and basslines
created by two turntables and a 8-track recorder-all orchestrated
and manipulated by the hands of a hip-hop magician.
Also featured on the album are guest appearances by other
members from the Third World Citizens collective; female deejay
Shortee - drummer for 15 years and a black belt, Miami's DJ Craze -
Zulu DJ Champ 96 & 97, and rap group Goodie Mob's deejay Shotgun.
All three contribute selections to the album that will assist in
this projects' success in 98 and beyond.
Along with the arrival of the new millenium comes the
advancement of music and how the world creates it. A world reigned
by DJ Faust... Man or Myth?

lets it all collapse together in a moment of musical chaos that destroys
me with its atomic energy --- rendering me speechless." - Bay Guardian
