Ķæ p. Rujhaan – Putimt Ku Tuskaas [CS]

"The album explores the historical and practical union of experimental in-situ field recordings and industrial drone work in its rudimentary form, while also constructing a narrative of live, on-site cymbal play in the style of Eddie Prevost and David Jackman.  Putimt ku tuskaas draws a narrative of minimally intricate experimental field recordings and industrial drones while at the same time channeling a line of influence from the early 80’s French & Italian industrial movements and would not be out of place riding along with ADN, United Dairies, Aeroplane & Robot Records.

From liner notes: “… Main Shop Building - Carbarn The main shop building, or car barn, is the largest of the buildings in the shop complex and is situated on the north side, abutting Pine Street (see HAER Photographs No. WA-13-A-1 through WA-13-A-20). It is rectangular in shape and constructed primarily of rough-cut sandstone. The upper portion of the long walls is brick with arched clerestory-type windows. The roof is an arched wooden truss type. It formerly had a monitor on top, but this feature was removed in 1976 and the resulting hole covered with wood. The shop building is quite tall. This enables a 15-ton Niles crane to roll back and forth above the tracks inside. The crane is used to lift locomotives and traction motors for repair. An array of lathes, drill presses, grinders, and other elderly machinery (all driven by a common overhead belt drive system) remains intact inside the building.

This portion of the building has been used primarily for maintenance and repair of the YVT's locomotives and streetcars. It currently also serves as a secure storage space for YVT's remaining locomotives. A lower wing on the east side of the building, also constructed of stone, houses YVI's trainmen's room, blacksmith shop, and supply storage rooms. Formerly, there was another wing attached to the west side of the building for storage of streetcars. This structure, called the "running barn," was made primarily of wood, had four tracks inside, and was demolished in 1976. Its stone foundation and tracks remain….”"
