Chester Hawkins (U.S.) for PE or Krautrock - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I believe I have already said that the PE and Krautrock teams don't favour these free and ''name your price'' downloads.

However, Chester Hawkins' Blue Sausage Infant project might be of interest:

Chester Hawkins (Washington DC) began BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT in 1985 as an experiment in modern-day audio Dadaism (via musique concrete and tape-collage) and has evolved it into an ambitious laboratory of "psychedelia" in many forms. Using an ever-changing arsenal of electronics, acoustics, and handmade objects, the stated purpose is to create deep and elegant trance states with a glaze of paranoid tension: a teetering balance of euphoria and terror. Blue Sausage Infant's 2011 album "Negative Space" was nominated for best "Experimental Music" release at that year's Qwartz Awards in Paris. (From the official website - haven't included alink as it isn't rated by McAfee)

From lastfm:

Washington DC native Chester Hawkins has peformed as BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT since 1986. The sound of BSI ranges from brutalist noise to textured drones, pounding neo-tribalism, krautrock-flavored psychedelia, or cut-ups of cultural artifacts. The vibe that binds it all is a desire to induce trance states by any means necessary.

Instrumentation involves a mix of electronics with more organic sources: Squeaky dog toys and digitally abused lap-steel guitars have recently joined the arsenal of synths, bass, samplers, and acoustic items.

BSI has produced 14 full releases under the Intangible Arts imprint and has contributed to compilations across the USA and England. Collaborators include Violet, Haunted Toilet, Changes to Blind, New Carrollton, Lida Husik, and Stolen Government Binder Clip. A selection of BSI material has been used for the soundtrack to Tim Ashby’s film Surface To Air, due for release in 2010.
