Nexsound has just "re-released" the MP3s of "Kosta" by Derek Holzer and
Latvian duo Oloolo on the Archive.org site.

Album "Kosta" is a product of international collaboration between Oloolo
from Latvia and producer / sound designer Derek Holzer from Holland.
This improvisational record was created in "Karosta" center of culture
in Liepaja / Latvia on January 4, 2003.

Maksim Borisov joined the artists in a few tracks with "casio" children
toy synthesizer and early digital fx processor "lm-1229". Bones and
various gifts of the past found on the seashore of the ex-military base
of "Karosta" served as a sound source for Derek Holzer, who sampled
sound through those objects with different microphones. Oloolo processed
samples in real time on two prepared pc.

"The seven tracks of Kosta are small flirtations with noise and
compressed field recordings. This is glitch theory being applied to the
sound of history, the winds of old battlefields and abandoned cities
being cut, spliced, and flung -- scattershot -- into the air."
