After Dave shuts down HAL and finds the true objective of
their mission to Jupiter, he boards a pod and descends towards
a monolith in search of the destination of the transmission
mankind discovered on the Moon. As he reaches the Jupiter
monolith, he begins to travel through a tunnel of lights,
projected through space and time until he ends up in an
ornately decorated bedroom with Renaissance artwork and
molding. In the bedroom, Dave starts to rapidly age. As he
lies in his deathbed another monolith appears. Just as the
apes did in the opening sequence, he reaches out to it,
echoing Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, and is evolved; the
starchild is born.
The Monolith series combines two like-minded artists on the
same one-sided, reverse-cut LP by hard-panning one recording
to the right and the other recording to the left. By adjusting
the panning controls on his or her turntable, the listener is
free to control the degree to which the two recordings melt
into one. Each edition in the series is limited to a one-time
pressing of 500 picture disc LPs featuring a Monolith inspired
painting by Ned Clayton and includes a CD with stereo mixes.
Monolith: Jupiter is realized by two fre(e/ak)-jazz duos:
Traum and Bark Haze. On the right is Bark Haze, the duo of
Gown (Andrew MacGregor) and Thurston Moore. Bark Haze explores
the interplay between two unbridled electric guitars. This
recording focuses on restraint: an intimate melding of the
minds through careful abuse of the strings. On the left is
Traum, in this recording the duo of Hell Hall (Graveyards) and
Zac Davis (Lambsbread). The project is Hall's continuation of
Graveyards' from the gutter ode to jazz's influence on noise.
This recording combines Hall's creative and controlled
drumwork and percussion with Davis' schizophrenic/ADHD guitar
hallucinations. The combination of the two recordings is
either interstellar kismet or pure trash or at least
interstellar trash.
