Hey, hey! Another month comes to end, and what a busy one this was! We've had 3 new releases, the STFU live dates and the production of the DVD (which has been selling quite well, we've made 96 copies and only 15 haven't found a owner yet). I'm tired as hell and the easter holidays arrived just in time for a well deserved rest. STFU related: Erik (a.k.a. Svarte Greiner) and Federico had a great time here in Lisbon and both venues had plenty people attending to. We'll miss those guys. Maybe we could do another STFU in the summer... we'll see. :) Peace, P. '| March 31, 2007 BOOGIE WOOGIE " tube070 - Jan von Grafenstein - 13 ?Another fresh pop-oriented insight into our catalogue, this time by Mr. Jan von Grafenstein who arrives from Germany lands. Jan is pretty much unknown in the netmusic scene, although he had a track - 'Luun' - released onto one of the famous Mercedes-Benz Mixed Tapes sometime ago. This thirteen track collection (hence the release title) that we're releasing could be easily filed under chillout, jazz fusion or even related to the highly productive late 90's Vienna scene. I guess we could call it 'old school' somehow. Easygoing from beginning to end, with voluptous basslines, seductive orchestrations and crisp string arrangements, it has its apex with 'Backboogie', a fantastic and danceable track which pretty much sums up the whole album. Enjoy!? - Pedro Leit?o '| March 25, 2007 NEW NNY Hi there. Our friend Jerome (aka NNY) is back with a brilliant new album, titled '++', put together with the help of Kazuya Mise and Filipe Cruz (aka ps). Filipe is the brain behind Enough Records and he's also responsible for the curious but excellent artwork we can see represented above. '++' is a dark and experimental journey into ambient noise territories, full of glitch and weird drones.It was released by Almasud, an independent label from Madeira island. Check its website for info on the release. This is NNY's first physical release, mind you. Well done, Jerome! (Be sure to get to know NNY's release on test tube, here.) P. '| March 20, 2007 CZECH MINIMALISM " tube069 - Petr Drkula - 2 ?Born and educated in the Czech Republic, Petr Drkula has a fine sense of repetition in music. You can easily breathe everything that he had learned in those matters over the last few years with his most recent work, ?2?. Contemporary composers like Terry Riley (?A Rainbow In Curved Air?, ?Poppy Nogood?), Steve Reich, Erik Satie or the cadence of Brian Eno are an evident influence in this work. Although not explicit, eastern European folk music has an important role in this record. It runs the map of the melodies you hear and builds the road for which any of the other references above can be identified. Because of that, ?2? is a two-piece study over the importance of traditional vs. contemporary composition in the fields of electronic folk. ?Duality? and ?Polarity? are like one piece facing a mirror effect. They evolve from one beat-up drone, nearly raw and childish, that is over-produced with fake and incomplete melodies that, at the end, form one that is singular and kindly beautiful. ?Duality? is more simple toned, transparent and direct, an underwater symphony that through repetition rises above. But ?Polarity? is quite the opposite. You can easily daydream throughout its almost thirty minutes without any motivation of moving. You just want to stay there and see what happens or what you can or can not think of. Its a childs toy for adults who seek fulfillment through relaxation. It may seem lazy, but its nothing like that. Its all about the basic mechanics of repetition in music, the complexity of movement over movement, even if it sounds, primarily, always the same. Petr Drkula does in ?2? what has been explored in some fields of music over the last fifty years. And its so damn close to perfection that youll feel sorry if you miss it.? - Andr? Santos '| March 18, 2007 PRODUCTION STARTS As promised, all the 75 releases (including unreleased ones) from test tube are ready and production of the special DVD-R has started yesterday. We will serve pre-orders first, of course, and by order of arrival (older pre-orders first), which is the fair thing to do, as we are no factory and can only produce a small number of copies a day. Also, as said before, the pre-order period has ended last friday and we have been forced to raise the price a bit (one euro) to cover for the updated costs of local mail charges. We're sorry but there's nothing we can do about this. If you haven't order your copy yet, go ahead and do so. You'll be helping test tube to continue to put out excellent free music month after month. Visit the DVD release page now. Peace, P. '| March 15, 2007 JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! Hey, we have great news: Test Tube and fellow netlabel Enough Records are producing/organizing some STFU gigs around here. Porto, Lisboa and Torres Vedras were the cities graced with the events. Check out the calendar here. e-Flyer for the south events (Lisboa & Torres Vedras) The Porto gigs are scheduled for the previous weekend, that is, next weekend. Check out their webpage which has everything you need to know. And be there! Peace, P. '| March 10, 2007 A DAY IN LUCA'S LIFE As you might already noticed, test tube's artwork has suffered some changes. There are some explanations to be made: " tube068 - Bottegasonora - No Ordinary Day ?'Bottegasonora' - an italian word meaning something like 'Sonorous handicraft store' - is the musical self of Luca Ricatti, a Rome living musician who usually writes music for theatre plays and documentaries, but this time wanted to get away from his stressful day-to-day by writing a mini-concept album about what could be one out-of-the-ordinary day. It starts with 'Late awake' and an alarm going off, ordering Luca to get off the bed. The day starts frantic with polyrhythmic beats and drum'n'bass style drums, but some soft guitars too, Luca likes them a lot. After that, Luca has to 'Drive to go to work', so he doesn't get there late as usual. This time we get some manic keyboards and basslines, as Luca tries to avoid the lunacy that is car traffic in Rome (and all of Italy, for that matter...). Maybe Luca's car starts floating near the end, because the track gets quite ethereal, a minute before he decides 'Leavin' the car, takin' a bicycle'. A cool decision, right? We must think global these days, and treat mother earth nice. Again, we are graced with Luca's guitars and he tried to mimic the feeling of bicycle riding, by panning the sound from left to right, and left again. Luca says he got this idea from 'In the Court of the Crimson King', back when he was a teenager listening to prog-rock. Yeah, yeah. Luca now has arriv ed to his work (we assume) and after another full day, he returns home, and there is already 'Night under the stars', a soothing melody made of guitar plucks and keyboard lines. But before wishing Luca good night and sweet dreams, there's still time to listen to 'Herbario nuovo', because Luca loves old technical illustration books, like the ones test tube takes some drawings from. Don't forget to watch the video too. Sleep well, Luca.? - Pedro Leit?o '| top (cc) 2004-07 '| test tube [m?c] " code and design aeriola::behaviour ................................................................

A 10 metre wide screen, a pumping sound system that even The End would be envious of, cushions on the floor and an open bar. Bring your own earplugs! Stripped back to the barest elements of digital expression, this programme, focusses on artistic practices that make use of tools, techniques and software for the real-time creation and manipulation of both sound and image. Immensely powerful, rhythmic and immersive, this programme, in this context, will not be repeated. AVVA and Ryoichi Kurokawa will be presenting special adaptations of recent work. Sachiko M is working with UK sound and video artist Ben Drew, to create an entirely new work, especially commissioned for the Turbine Hall. This is truly a one-off.

Headphones are recommended if you prefer to maximize the dizzying array of stereo panning and acoustic mind fuck. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=164 review by Derek Morton to unsubscribe please go to http://www.furthernoise.org/unsubscribe.php?u=1&ID= From yves_tk at gmx.net Wed Apr 4 13:02:18 2007 From: yves_tk at gmx.net (Till Kniola) Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 19:02:18 +0200 Subject: [Microsound-announce] bjerga/iversen, giancarlo toniutti, ftbpd, fith Message-ID: aufabwegen concert info: BJERGA/IVERSEN & AALFANG MIT PFERDEKOP/FEU FOLLET Do. 05.04.2007, doors: 20.00h, start: 21.00h, tickets: 6,00 euros @ Kulturbunker Muelheim Berliner Str. 20 51063 Koeln http://www.kulturbunker-muelheim.de Bjerga/Iversen (TibProd/Norwegen, Ger?uschexperimente) & Aalfang mit Pferdekopf + Feu Foillet (Performance-Reading-Drones) In der Reihe "bunkerfrequenzen" Ein Abend ganz im Zeichen der Magie des Drone. Das norwegische Duo Bjerga/Iversen spielt seit 2004 gemeinsam etwas, was sie selbst als "graue Musik" bezeichnen. Aus Alltagsger?ten, elektronischen Klangerzeugern und gefundenen Kl?ngen generieren die beiden z?hfl?ssige und kaum greifbare Soundstr?me, die den H?rer f?rmlich umflie?en. Dazu spielen Aaalfang mit Pferdekopf und Feu Follet ebenfalls als Duo auf; zwei junge deutsche Projekte, die zurecht als hoffnungsvoller Nachwuchs in Sachen experimenteller Ambient, Ger?uschmusik und Drone gehandelt werden.

This is the first time we've invited a guest editor to organize content and we've enlisted Toronto artist/writer/musician David McCallum to curate a body of work exploring locative media. The issue contains work by: Evamaria Trischak, Jeremy Hight, Knifeandfork, Marc Tuters, Patricia Rodriguez, Sawako, ssim-el, an interview with Michael Lenczner, and an overview of the context photography project. To view the issue please visit http://www.vagueterrain.net We will be dedicating our June and September issues to sample culture and lo-fi technology. If your work relates to these themes or you know of a project that you think we'd be interested in, please contact us at submit at vagueterrain.net We've also been hard at work on a few personal projects that you may be interested in. Neil has just released a new album on Noise Factory Records which he will be launching on Friday in Toronto (details at http://www.noisefactoryrecords.com ) and Greg recently rebuilt his personal website ( http://www.serialconsign.com ) where he is now regularly writing about art and media.

Kontrastierend gibt es freit?nenden Nachwuchs zu h?ren: das Harsh-Noize-Duo Fire/In/The/Head aus den USA und die Ger?uschcombo Feien Trinkers Bei Pinkels Daheim, die ihre Ger?uschcollagen mit dadaistischem Humor durchweben. Ein spannender Abend ist garantiert!

The eNTERFACE summer workshops aim at establishing a tradition of collaborative, localized research and development by gathering together academics, researchers, and students - for a period of one month - to work on specific challenges relating to multimodal interfaces. For more information, please take a look at the web site: http://www.enterface.net/enterface07/ One of the projects this year proposes to continue previous research into the use of physiological signals (EEG, EMG, ECG etc.) to control digital sound and image synthesis processes. We plan to expand upon previous work into "Biologically-Driven Musical Instruments" by further investigating the - medical, scientific and aesthetic - uses of Brain-Computer Interfaces and other modes of biological control over computing machinery. For more detailed information on this project, please see the following: http://www.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/enterface07/callForProjects.php#p11 This workshop is funded by the European Union's SIMILAR (http://www.similar.cc/) Network of Excellence and participants only have to pay airfare and lodging costs, for which some grants may be available. Please indicate in your application if you wish to be considered for this additional funding. To submit an application for consideration, please send your CV and a short statement of interest which mentions your motivation for participating and the skills which you can bring to the project.

Real estate greed is off the charts. A similar situation here in Seattle has been happening with arts organizations and galleries within what is known as the Denny Regrade area. They've been getting pushed out because of the "market value" going up due to the construction of new expensive condos. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary; when it comes to things like real estate, "market value" is a farce and should be regulated in a way that will ensure everyone can afford a decent home or a place to run a decidedly benevolent operation such as a cultural organization. The actions of a few greedy developer/land owners should not be allowed to dictate the "market value" for everyone else. Then again, I realize my futile barking will do little to change the way things have been aboard this ship of fools for ages. Beam me up, Scotty!

FOURTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MOBILE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY 2007 6-8 MAY 2007, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS http://www.mobilemusicworkshop.org/ ? Submission deadline: 12th March 2007 ? Combining music and mobile technology promises exciting future developments in a rapidly emerging field. Devices such as mobile phones, Walkmans and iPods have already brought music to the ever-changing social and geographic locations of their users and reshaped their experience of the urban landscape. With new properties such as ad hoc networking, Internet connection, and context-awareness, mobile music technology offers countless new artistic, commercial and socio-cultural opportunities for music creation, listening and sharing. How can we push forward the already successful combination of music and mobile technology? What new forms of interaction with music lie ahead, as locative media and music use merge into new forms of everyday experiences? ? This series of annual workshops began to explore and establish the emerging field of mobile music technology in 2004. This fourth edition of the Mobile Music Workshop in 2007 offers a unique opportunity to participate in the development of mobile music and hands-on experience of cutting-edge technology. ? This year?s workshop is hosted by STEIM and Waag Society in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and partners with the Futuresonic Festival in Manchester, England, taking place later the same week. The programme of the workshop will consist of keynote presentations from invited speakers, peer-reviewed paper presentations, poster sessions, in-depth discussions about the crucial issues of mobile music technology, demos of state-of-the-art projects, break-out sessions and live events. Registered participants will take part in hands-on sessions conducted by leaders in the field. In addition to traditional presentation sessions, the programme includes events open to a general audience, facilitating the presentation of artworks and technological breakthroughs to a wider public. ? The Mobile Music Workshop sets the stage for a collaboration that brings together leading institutions in both experimental electronic music and mobile media. STEIM (the studio for electro-instrumental music) is a centre for electronic music production well known in the performing arts. STEIM promotes the idea that Touch is crucial in communicating with electronic and digital arts technologies, a vision that over the years has given birth to physical, sensor-based musical instruments. Waag Society is a research and development institute in the fields of networked art, education and creative industries. Waag develops platforms for artists to reach society through networked collaboration, media streaming, and locative media. ? CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS AND WORKS ? We invite practitioners, artists, designers, hackers and researchers from all areas, including music, technology development, new media, sound-art, music distribution, cultural/media studies, locative media and industry to submit work and register to attend. ? Don't miss this chance to help shape the mobile music landscape of the future! ? Participants are encouraged to submit their work in mobile music technology to the categories below. The partnership with the Futuresonic Festival (http://www.futuresonic.com/) allows those coming to Europe to make a single trip to attend both events. ? Papers ? We invite submissions of workshop papers presenting new projects, approaches or reflections exploring the topic of mobile music. Potential submissions could include but are not limited to mobile music systems or enabling technologies, interface design, legal issues, user studies, ethnographic fieldwork, social implications, art pieces and other areas relevant to mobile music. Accepted paper authors will be given a time slot during the workshop for presentation and discussion of their work. ? Format: up to 8 pages in ACM SIG publications format (shorter papers welcome). For templates, see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html ? Posters ? We also invite the contribution of posters that document work-in-progress projects or ideas in similar areas of mobile music technology as the papers. Posters will be on display during the duration of the conference. We will arrange a poster presentation session where attendees will be able to discuss the works with the authors. ? Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format ? Demonstrations ? We also invite submissions of work to the demo category. Besides encouraging paper and poster presenters to bring a demonstration as a complement their presentation, we encourage submissions of stand-alone demos of mobile music systems or enabling technology. Their implementation should be ready enough to be demoed, and will possibly be shown to the general public during open sessions depending on their robustness. ? Format: 2 pages in ACM SIG publications format. ? SUBMISSIONS ? Please email your submission as a PDF file in the appropriate format to submissions at mobilemusicworkshop.org. ? In the subject line, state MMW SUBMISSION followed by PAPER, POSTER or DEMO and the name of the main author. ? Submissions will be peer-reviewed by a committee of international specialists in the fields of mobile music, interactive music, and locative media. ? DEADLINES ? Submission deadline: 12th March 2007 Notification of acceptance: 2nd April 2007 Registration deadline: 16th April 2007 Final submission deadline: 16th April 2007 ? REGISTRATION & FEE ? This year?s workshop will have both closed sessions for registered participants and sessions open to the general public. The number of participants for the closed sessions of the workshop is limited to 50 places. Accepted submitters are given priority, other participants are accepted on a first-come first-served basis. Registered participants will have automatic access to all sessions of the workshops. ? The closed sessions of the workshop will be charged both a regular and a reduced student fee, similar to the last edition?s fees.? ? Registration deadline: 16th April 2007 ? The open sessions will be advertised in more detail closer to the event. The fee for the open sessions will be event-based. ? Scheduling and registration fees will be coordinated with Futuresonic to allow participants to easily attend both events. ? ORGANISERS ? International Steering Committee ?

The audio CD includes 8 new tracks of neo-Industrial Trance built on loops of rhythm & noise with the unique and typical style of this international cult pioneer Industrial band. They get an hypnotic effect that can be very addictive to the listener. In respect to their last studio album, Compuesto de Hierro, (2003), 8 Traks and Live means a change towards the more rough, noisy and radical face of EG. The DVD includes the extraordinary, and first in ten years, performance of EG in Madrid on last Festival Decibelio 2006 (June 2006). All the tracks of the show are unreleased or quite different versions of known tracks as they add the crude voice of Arturo Lanz. There are also included two extras: an extract of a performance in Spain in 1994 (still with the historical founding member Gabriel Riaza), and the first recently recovered EG "video-clip", Neuridrina (1981), created by the industrial musician and experimental Spanish artist Rafael Flores. This first edition in double digipack is limited to 1100 copies . -- rafael flores http://www.rafaelflores.net http://www.myspace.com/comandobruno info at rafaelflores.net apartado 163 23740 and?jar - spain -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The audio CD includes 8 new tracks of neo-Industrial Trance built on loops of rhythm & noise with the unique and typical style of this international cult pioneer Industrial band. They get an hypnotic effect that can be very addictive to the listener. In respect to their last studio album, Compuesto de Hierro, (2003), 8 Traks and Live means a change towards the more rough, noisy and radical face of EG. The DVD includes the extraordinary, and first in ten years, performance of EG in Madrid on last Festival Decibelio 2006 (June 2006). All the tracks of the show are unreleased or quite different versions of known tracks as they add the crude voice of Arturo Lanz. There are also included two extras: an extract of a performance in Spain in 1994 (still with the historical founding member Gabriel Riaza), and the first recently recovered EG "video-clip", Neuridrina (1981), created by the industrial musician and experimental Spanish artist Rafael Flores. This first edition in double digipack is limited to 1100 copies . -- rafael flores http://www.rafaelflores.net http://www.myspace.com/comandobruno info at rafaelflores.net apartado 163 23740 and?jar - spain -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The addition of Faster than Sound to the festival programme is a further example of this commitment, and of Aldeburghs ability not only to commission new work but to use its unique setting to present it in a different light. The Festival has always used a wide range of Suffolk venues, the latest being Bentwaters Airbase, which is close the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the Festival's main venue. The kaleidoscope of musical connections taking place at Aldeburgh continue throughout the year and is also evident for example through initiatives such as the Aldeburgh Residencies, and the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, all taking place in the inspiring landscape of the Suffolk Coast Faster than Sound is generously support by Arts Council England, and is produced in association with Lumin and sponsored by The Wire magazine.

The audio is encoded in the GSM 6.10 WAV format at various bitrates ? the disk holds 74 minutes of audio, that can be played on a computer with standard audio-players like Winamp, Windows Media Player and Itunes without any external codec installed. The audio has not been converted from existing material, but composed directly in the spectral domain, using the GSM format as a chosen timbral limitation. The aim has not been to fit as much data as possible on a lowlevel medium as the floppydisk, but rather to explore the musical possibillities inherent in the specific medium and audioformat. On certain tracks the amplitude and low bitrates produce 'ghost' frequencies according to the Nyquist theorem, and the algorithm of the audio codec ? meaning that very high frequencies and white noise can occur at very low bitrates. Using listening equipment with a subwoofer is recommended. The audiofiles cannot be converted to other formats such as MP3 without altering the timbral content dramatically. Audio, conversion and graphics by Jonas Olesen 2005/06 . Gigantiq | Test Loops cdr [rist06] First EP from this Lisbon based duo of Andr? Gon?alves (electric guitar and laptop) and Nuno Moita (turntables, sampler and pma-5). These two tracks bring their trademark of an apparently static wave of sound. And yet she moves.

Pedro Tudela e Miguel Carvalhais trabalham como @c desde 2000. O seu trabalho desenvolve-se no cruzamento de est?ticas e abordagens complementares ao som electr?nico e no confronto entre estruturas r?tmicas com elementos sonoros livres, gerados ritmicamente ou baseados em grava??es de campo.

Please find below a synopse of the aesthetic, cultural, musical and media-theoretic changes that were made by the analog/digital switch in music. We expect for the collection translations and writings on the topic mentioned above. Anyone interested in this enterprise should send me a synopse of the intended text in either Hungarian, German or English. Best wishes, Barnabas A collection of essays on digital music - synopsis / There were two major changes in the musical practice and thought of the 20th century. On the one hand, broad ranges of musical spectra became candidate tools for creation, in addition to the otherwise expanded boundaries, and, by the same token, the previous theory and practice that discredited certain aspects of sound, ceased. On the other hand, and organically interrelated with the former, new inventions helped in exploring new, innovative sounds. Brand new compositional methods arose that had their essence in the sampling techniques, in which processes existing artworks became raw materials for techniques underpinning a novel paradigm of music aesthetics. The formerly coherent, integrated concept of artwork has got into a new constellation, in which the former aesthetic norms lost their explanatory power, therefore, in the present state of art they substantiate re-consideration. The hermeneutic triad have broken up, since the question of both creation, creator, and of the beholder, as well as of reception have changed. Through sound recording, not only the concept of authentic musical space (e.g. a cconcert hall) became anachronistic since all space became a space for music and every sound segment became a musical segment, but the recipient-(performer)-creator distinction, too, due to the fact that creation itself became an apparently academic literature philological work. The creational methods of musical ?text' with adequate ?audio signals' and ?syntax' generated new and previously unknown layers of authors surpassing all entry-quota of instrumentalists, entailing serious copy-right problems on the other hand. The medial switch in fact led to a culture-theoretical switch, questioning the concept of the canonical musical content and principal critical distance as ceased, due to the sampling techniques. Mozart and Madonna, in the same time and at same place, became raw materials for a third author, became pure musical signals, replacing the formerly sound interpretational and significational system. The present situation, on the other hand, raised serious problems not only to the creational methods, but even to the authentic language of thought on music, and to its technical terms. Especially, this is the point where descriptive analysis necessarily becomes academic scripture on acoustics, or merely literature, deploying a rich palette of language, that is, and it might be a most exciting question, becomes a permanent discursive action in which new musical structures and those seen in novel aspects are classified under new musical labels or constitute sub-systems of the former system of forms. So now begins a permanent canonisation and differentitation on every possible medial forum. In this way, every description broadens the vocabulary of thinking about tomorrow's music and that is the reason and the worth of the frequent and multi-leveled examination of authors, labels, trends, and tendencies that take place or can take place on the palette of electronic music. The concept of musical space, creation and artwork consequentially has changed and so allow novel, previously unknown distributional methods. The problem of p2p networks, video and sound sharing (e.g. youtube), net-radios and net-labels undermined the former system of music distribution and modified the well known forms of distribution. E-trading has re-drawn these market limits, as well. A re-alignment goes on on every continent adjusting the emergence of market mechanisms to the social and economic system of certain countries. The medial switch substantiates a re-consideration of music and related fields. If digitalisation can flatten every medial content into one dimension, then the questioning of the tenability of a separation of media is worth its while, since all content on a hypertext get aligned to a de-centralised unity. What is the role of acoustic phenomenon in a visual culture that replaces the text-based one? And what is the role of vision in an acoustic culture replacing musical notation? Only a thorough analysis of the limits and problems can help us in developing a more complex and flexible concept of music for the future.

For this exhibition I assembled an acoustic portrait of the ?silent? gallery space integrating recordings I made both inside and outside the museum itself, borrowing the architectural concept of the spandrel (the v-shaped space between two arches). "Sound Spandrel: MMA" is a headphone installation that foregrounds peripheral and parenthetical sounds. Sound in Art / Art in Sound Minnesota Museum of American Art April 14 ?

May 26, 2007 Natural Circuits brings together artists who employ a variety of media and technologies to create innovative aesthetic strategies for fashioning images and experiences that reflect on how we see the world around us. Each of the artists shares in employing interactive means to engage the viewer directly in the reception of the artwork. The artists rework technologies to shape an intertextual engagement with a variety of materials in artworks that change as they unfold in time and through viewer participation. Ms Bravo describes her piece, "The Vortex", thusly: "Projected against the wall and reflected in an adjacent mirror, a placid image of a pond appears double, once triggered by the passing viewer via a hidden interactive device, a spiraling movement at the center of the screen is generated creating a turbulence that will quietly transform into calmness within a certain interval. The object of our perception is not reality in itself but an illusion of images we have created thus The Vortex is used as a metaphor to the practice of contemplation as one way to attain a transformation required to change our distorted reality." Featured Artists in the "Natural Circuits" exhibition: Monika Bravo Paul DeMarinis Hsin-Chien Huang Mariano Sardon Buky Schwartz The Gallery is located at 601 W 26th Street, Suite 1240, New York, NY. The Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11-6. ---------- Thanks for your time!

E? is an argentine noise trio who build their own twisted objects, and they present a short, but powerful set on this release. Golden Serenades is the duo of John Hegre (Jazkamer) and J?rgen Tr?n (Sir Dupermann) who brought absolute harsh noise destruction. Cornucopia was down to one member for the tour, and I made my best to reprezent. The final track is a collaboration between all three acts. JORGE CASTRO Pastoral CDR More distorted and raw than my recent guitar generated releases, Pastoral came out of my lifelong interest in Death Metal and Grindcore, mixed with the usual multi-layered drones. Recorded between 2004 and 2006.

THANK YOU! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- framework - phonography/field recording; contextual and decontextualized sound activity presented by patrick mcginley several great new (well, recent anyway - framework has been suffering from an excess of waiting material for a long, long time now) releases this week, and an exciting opportunity for listener participation! if you missed the chance, fear not, we'll be repeating it in our next regular edition in 2 weeks time, or you can download or stream this edition from the website. so you have no excuse! i'll explain more in a moment... we listened to several tracks from a 3cd compilation called 'nekton falls', which features many names framework listeners will recognise, and many that they won't. too much on here to squeeze everything we wanted into one show, so we'll be coming back to hear a few more selections next time. meanwhile, we heard two long excerpts from matt shoemaker's excellent release on the helen scarsdale agency, 'spots in the sun'. this is really a wonderful disc - gritty, hunched over, dense textures and layers, just how we like it! we also heard several tracks from another new name (for us), and a surprising name at that: herpes o deluxe provided us with some well constructed crunch. all this along with a blending of two uk street scenes - we took rob grant's recording of london's green lanes and intertwined it with nick sellen's portrait of reading - can you tell which is which? some background on our listener participation segment: sometime last year i received an unsolicited heavy-pressed single-sided 7" vinyl record in the post. no package, letter, sleeve, nothing - just a record with a stamp and my address on it, and a small sticker in the center with a request. the request was that i play the record back in my home, record it ambiently, and return both record and recording to a specified address. months later, i finally got around to doing this, and in the process thought, what better way to support this project than to broadcast the record on framework and call to arms all it's loyal listeners? so that's what i've done: near the end of this edition (around minute 50, if you're downloading) you will find sebastiane hegarty's piece 'mo (nu) ment', which was recorded from his bedroom window during a 3 minute silence held for the victims of the asian tsunami disaster of 2005. play it back over whatever speakers you have, record it with whatever you have at hand, and, dear listener, send it back to us here at framework. if we get enough we'll broadcast a selection of them, and forward them on to sebastiane for his project. so there you go. to arms! again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw field recordings, field recording based composition or introduction submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of our guest-curated series. send proposals or material, released or not, on any format, to the address below. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch! framework bp17 27910 perruel france framework at talk21.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25.04.07 (this edition will be available online until 02.05.07) (artist / title / album / label) steve burnett / framework intro http://www.subscapeannex.com das synthetische mischgewebe / that which swallows / nekton falls (compilation) / celestial dragon http://dsm.projects.v2.nl/, http://www.sonic-dragon.com/celestial_dragon.htm nich sellen / the sound of reading / - / - http://www.nicksellen.co.uk rob grant / green lanes / - / - robgrant at corrugated.demon.co.uk matt shoemaker / track two / spots in the sun / helen scarsdale agency http://www.humanfaculties.com, http://www.helenscarsdale.com blaerp / plankton state / nekton falls (compilation) / celestial dragon http://www.blaerp.de, http://www.sonic-dragon.com/celestial_dragon.htm herpes o deluxe / funkenflug / kielholen / hinterzimmer http://www.tollerort.org, http://www.hinterzimmer-records.com yannick dauby / cetaean lethargy / nekton falls (compilation) / celestial dragon http://www.kalerne.net, http://www.sonic-dragon.com/celestial_dragon.htm matt shoemaker / track four / spots in the sun / helen scarsdale agency http://www.humanfaculties.com, http://www.helenscarsdale.com herpes o deluxe / ruhig stellen / kielholen / hinterzimmer http://www.tollerort.org, http://www.hinterzimmer-records.com sebastiane hegarty / mo (nu) ment ssv7_4:4 / - / - sebastiane73 at hotmail.com herpes o deluxe / nichtsdestotrotz / kielholen / hinterzimmer http://www.tollerort.org, http://www.hinterzimmer-records.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- framework intro submissions: 1) take yourself and an audio recording device to a location of your choice 2) record for AT LEAST 1 minute before you - 3) read the following text: welcome to framework. framework is a show consecrated to field recording, and it's use in composition. field recording, phonography, the art of sound-hunting; open your ears and listen! 4) continue your recording for AT LEAST 2 minutes after you've finish speaking 5) send the recording on any format to the address above, or as an mp3 via email thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please check http://www.kulturbunker-muelheim.de/klangtransfer for details! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Artist Biography: Joe Colley (b.1972 Ft. Lauderdale) is a self taught artist concerned primarily with the phenomena of sound and it's unique ability to activate a consciousness set apart from rational understanding in a way very different from visual or verbal means. This consuming interest has led to extensive experimentation with results occasionally made public through performances, installations, and commercially available recordings. These experiments have encompassed abstract electronic/noise composition, amplification of natural phenomena, investigations into phase, and creation of complex mass from layers of simplistic sound material, often with an attention to the mundane or pathetic. Growing up in California's central valley, Colley has travelled widely making field recordings and researching various cultures with a focus on ritual musics and the art of the insane. He has worked in warehouses, long-term care facilities, porn shops, and as an art instructor with developmentally disabled adults and juvenile detention facility inmates. His music journalism has been published under pseudonyms in various national magazines. His performances have been seen as part of festivals including Activating The Medium (SFMOMA), Observatori (Valencia, Spain), Lampo (Chicago, Illinois), Phonotaktik (Vienna, Austria), MUTEK (Montreal, Canada), Beyond Music (Venice, Ca.), and Songlines (Mills College, Oakland, Ca.). His notable recordings include "Desperate Attempts At Beauty: Conceptual And Research Exercises" (Auscultare Research CD) which was nominated for the Transmediale 05 Award, and "Psychic Stress Soundtracks" (Antifrost CD) which recently received an award of distinction at Ars Electronica 2006.

This year ctrl_alt_del will include Opening Concert, Performance Series (live), Workshops, Panels, Presentations, Open Call, Field Studies/Workshops, Exhibition, Radio Programmes, Publication and CD release. The theme of ctrl_alt_del in 2007 will be ?remote orienteering?. As the first dedicated sound art festival in Turkey, ctrl_alt_del enjoyed a great deal of international publicity in 2003 and 2005. For the third ctrl_alt_del to be held in September 2007, we are now looking for interesting, provocative, subversive, experimental and sophisticated works. 5 pieces will be selected by the jury and will be presented during ctrl_alt_del. JURY Georg Dietzler Paul Devens Murat Ertel Hassan Khan Scanner Eran Sachs Istanbul Technical University - MIAM (Pieter Snapper and Can Karadogan) NOMAD (Emre Erkal, Erhan Muratoglu, Basak Senova) THEME The practice of ?remote orienteering? suggests generating content and schematics in our conduct. Equally applicable for radical means of urban subversion, ?remote orienteering? is the key process which the entries of ctrl-alt-del should be directed. The pieces are asked to be compliant with the following subjects in order to create an intellectual climate of comprehension and discussion: 1. sounds for orientation, or sound as orientation. 2. distant sounds or sound in spatial contexts 3. sound and cultural subversion SUBMISSION MATERIALS 1. Two audio CD?s (original and a copy) of only ONE piece is the format of the submission. Piece will not be more than 4 minutes long. Projects which rely on specific visual documentation can be submitted on a DVD, but in any case clip should not be longer than 4 minutes. 2. The name of the participant and the name of the piece(s) should be written on this CD with a permanent marker. 3. An A4 size page with name, address, e-mail and telephone number of the participant, and the names of the piece will be submitted. 4. An optional, separate A4 size page with a description, clarification or reflection could be submitted depending completely on the desire of the participant. These optional documents will not be used for evaluation, but they could be used in later stages. The works should be at the below mailing address before the 29th of June, 2007: Basak Senova PK 16 Suadiye 34741 Istanbul, Turkey ANNOUNCEMENT Selected works and their owners will be announced in August 2007 on the NOMAD website: http://www.nomad-tv.net/ All of the submitted material will be kept in NOMAD archive. ----------------------------------------------------- http://project-ctrl-alt-del.com/opencall_07.htm http://project-ctrl-alt-del.com http://nomad-tv.net info at nomad-tv.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
