Componente de formaciones tan dispares como "Pygar" o "Jim and the Galaxy", Jo?o Ricardo nos ofrece un interesante viaje a trav?s de texturas sonoras con alma propia. Glitches, paisajismo sonoro y una emotiva sensibilidad fielmente reflejada en "Try a little sexyness". Los tres primeros cortes pertenecientes a OCP, forman un coherente camino, ciencia matem?tica y sensaci?n espacial. Colchones sonoros para cuerpos r?gidos. El ?ltimo track, de la mano del artista barcelon?s Asf?rico remezclando "Try a little sexyness", nos ofrece un ejercicio de entrega total en que el abre nuevas puertas, haciendo que "Immerse" se convierta en un trabajo sin fin predeterminado. En definitiva, una obra madura y altamente recomendable. free download: http://www.mascerolab.org/reference004.htm http://www.mascerolab.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Or just plain out of a telepathic transmission? Does it matter? A cluster of minds approach another, devouring and inoculating, ejecting biographic splinters into autobiographic fuzz and buzz; all the charming allure of weed informed mycotic tic-tac-toeing, inserting missing pieces where there were already too many competing for survival or a simple spot in the sun. At a point you will surely feel lost and asking for directions: we thought about that too: and in the swarm of field recorded days and holy machines chunking years old three copies run cdr releases you'll find more than directions. To be blunt about it: one long track, basically concealing four or five others, impregnated with triumphant surf singalongs, victorious drone chases, cut-up and glued down cigarette pack robots dancing a snail paced belly dance, intertwined with psychotic skips and scats and what have you, a relentless celebration of laetitia hodie.

FOURTY-FOUR

Hello good people and happy new year!

A bit late on this newsletter but here we go: Another year for test tube went by, and we reached the one hundred release mark. I never thought that would be running a label and reach the magical number. It has been great, with many hours of great pleasure listening to stuff from the five continents (well... three actually, we haven't got anything from Africa or Antarctica... yet.), many hours working on artwork and covers, many good friends I have made across the globe, and all this time was indeed well spent. This netlabel thing was one of the greatest ideas I had in years! I extract much pleasure and fulfillment doing this and I hope that I'll always have some spare time in my life to keep doing it. Even if it takes asking for help from outside.

test tube has released 44 titles in 2007, which is an amazing number and almost accounts for a release every week or so. I understand that this translates in too many releases for the average test tube fan to keep track of them, so, I will try to restrain myself and keep this number under the 35/40 mark for 2008. The thing is, we still get many submissions every week and most of them are really good. I rarely miss the opportunity to put them out. But lets see this as a new year's resolution: refrain test tube's release agenda to a minimum.

On the other hand, the way things are going right now, we will have a second volume of the popular DVD-R release somewhere in the middle of this year. I haven't thought of the artwork theme yet, but one thing's certain: it won't be about psychoactive substances or general flora. I will have to think of something else. Good and interesting ideas are very welcome :)

We will start the release agenda of 2008 with yet another South-American artist who goes by the name of Cristian Gualpa. Very good and exciting music has been coming out of the new 'old' world. 'Flotante EP' will be out somewhere this week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Now for the locals: test tube will host an evening at 'O Século', which is a nice venue at Bairro Alto, Lisbon, located at Rua do Século. Pitch Boys will be playing a live set of minimal techno - which is an unusual genre for him, this might be interesting... - with live video by Junction. Following there will be a dj set based entirely of netaudio tracks, played by yours truly. Expect lots of ambient, field recordings, smooth and silky stuff, and maybe some IDM and minimal beats to boot... I'm not sure yet of what I'll be playing. Admission is free and drinks are cheap. Stop by to say hello :) Oh, dates! This event will be held January 17 (thursday) at 22/23h.

Later!

 Peace,

CALIFORNIA ÜBER ALLES


• tube'|105 - Eye - Plays

«Well... and here's our last tube of 2007. Please welcome again Mr. Fairbanks from Los Angeles, California, with this new collection of tracks, which he appropriately titled 'American Case Study'.
Norman has been steadily putting out high quality releases for a couple of years at least, officially releasing most of them through his own website. In this present case, we made a selection out of a couple of his latest works, rounding up roughly an hour of Fairbanks' tunes. 'American Case Study' helps us to explore an unusual side of Norman's creations, namely the ambient/spoken word approach. 'Element One' through 'Element Five' gathers some speeches from whatever - including the late Allen Ginsberg - and serves them with some of Norman's trademark spacious beats and drones. The rest of the album rests on the usual high quality of minimal techno and IDM, on healthy doses for good measure. To put it simply, Norman Fairbanks' music is an amalgam of contemporary American culture, synthesized in small packets of aural pleasure. Enjoy! Happy New 2008!» - Pedro Leitão

FREESTYLE


• tube'|105 - Eye - Plays

«Peter Memmer is originally from Germany and is a former classical dancer who used to live in Portugal until very recently - the cover photo was taken by Peter at a typical portuguese Carnival festivity at Loulé - before moving again to another european country, Spain, if I'm not mistaken. Musically, one could easily think of Peter's work like something between Manitoba/Caribou and Kieran Hebden's Four Tet: Contemporary electronic pop with traces of pop-rock from last century. On the other hand, Eye also touches fringes of good old experimental territory, and even some electroacoustics too, churning out some nice drones and minimal textures somewhere along the middle part of 'Plays'. But the keyword here is 'Pop' without a shadow of a doubt. Excellent release!»

LATE FOR XMAS

Yeah, well... with all the family-get-togethers and stuff, I forgot to leave everybody a wishful xmas message. We are also late with the last two (well at least with one) 2007 releases, tube105 from Eye and tube106 from our favorite L.A. resident Norman Fairbanks. But we will put them out before monday, and that's a promise. Meanwhile, keep downloading our previous releases and keep enjoying our latest by Cory Allen. And while you're at it, visit Con-V and download yet another Cory Allen's release 'Observing a Warmth'. Get it here.

BEYOND AWAKENING


• tube'|104 - Cory Allen - Satori in Atlantis

«As you struggle to stop your thoughts, you can still hear the conversation of some neurons. Sometimes they sound like little pieces of metal sliding over a self-constructed organism, or granular rings that create ephemeral vibrations. In any case, they lead you into a psychic silence where you are able to listen to a higher consciousness. The enlightenment and awakening of your being brings you the true nature of creation. As you listen, you can create a new world formed of legendary islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, pleasantly sink into deep waters, or embrace your own neurological research. Once you find yourself floating, “Satori in Atlantis” allows this experience to last longer and create new beginnings to deeply understand the world you imagined. With this insightful sonic production, you are able to associate and assemble the wisdom of eastern philosophies and quantum mechanics. Allen’s creations succeed in becoming a source of energy.
Satori can be found in every moment of life, it is wrapped in all daily activities, its goal to unwrap them to see and hear satori. Be ready to submerge into a very profound view of the unified field. Be ready to journey into deeper levels of intelligence in nature and establish a dialog with your “self.”» - Sebastian Alvarez

ED IN WONDERLAND


• tube'|103 - Motown Junkie - Plagiarism Perversions

«Motown Junkie a.k.a. Ed The Sampler is Edgar Matos and lives very close to the spanish border in a portuguese town called Elvas, deep in the Alentejo's deserted countryside. Ed - for short - loves heavy metal rock, noise, goth, industrial and several other kinds, but he also enjoys sampling based electronic music and is quite fond of dark ambient too. As Nhoin - another one of his aliases - he has released stuff on our friend label Enough Records, but this time, as he puts on the Motown Junkie outfit, we will be graced with a different pallete of sounds.
'Plagiarism Perversions', despite its rather obnoxious or even tasteful artwork, is not about junkies or sex perverts, but rather about the art of stealing and appropriating of well known pop music phrases and references, and the consequent recontextualization of those elements, in an instrumental Hip Hop setting. Ed captured dozens of bass lines, guitars, drum beats, keyboard notes, etc., from pretty much everything he had lying around, mainstream or not, and built 15 tracks with strong hip hop beats and strings and basslines from various other styles turning the originals almost unregonizable (but still recognizable if you have a sensible ear). I won't say any names to not spoil your surprise.» - Pedro Leitão

NEW DOPE

As mentioned a few days ago in our last 4XT, DOPO released very recently a new album with north-american's Foxglove Records, Mr. Brad Rose's (of The North Sea fame) own label. We've updated our shop with that item and a few others. Please note that we don't sell those third party releases ourselves, but we point you in the right direction, should you happen to buy anything.
Shop is here.

SONIC GASES OF INTEGRATION


• tube'|102 - krypton - Silent Drama

«Whether a fictional planet in the DC Comics universe or a chemical element, known as a noble gas that occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere, Krypton has the ability to expand into your subconscious. Along these sounds, you would be able to walk through a cold hummed darkness to develop systems of echolocation that will take you into distant memories. In this realm, memory becomes a bright greenish-yellow light that glows and reverbs. Once submerged into the nature of “silent drama”, you might hear the images of a forsaken territory, of a territory that is like faint shadows, of a connection with the land that is not familiar any longer. Once thought to be completely inert, Krypton is known to form a few compounds.  These compounds are substances formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. In this case these substances are sonic. By suddenly arriving with some metal keys being plucked up and down, “human rights” is one of the tracks that will probably bring you back into the human constructs of a cyclical and percussive time. On the whole, these seven pleasant and fluorescent tracks are aural treats that can make you understand that all is one, that there are no fundamental divisions, and a unified set of laws underlie nature.» - Sebastian Alvarez

I hope this hasn't been a burden on your mailbox as we tried to keep mailing activities to a minimum of one each month. Anyway, thanks for subscribing and we hope you'll keep bearing with us for another twelve months. And now the monthly digest: We managed to put out three releases despite going through a computer upgrade very close to the end of the month. Everything went more or less as expected, with only a minor problem related to the RAM not being 100% compatible with the new mainboard. Apparently, that happens frequently. In any case, we offered three excellent releases, one of them being the landmark 100th release, huzzah! It's not just very important to us as a label but also to the dozens of artists that have made this possible. tube100 was handled beautifully by Pitch Boys album 'Son of a Pitch', which was very important to the label. We also had one of our favorites last month, when it comes to soothing ambient made ou of field recordings, with James McDougall and his Entia Non project. The last release was a trip into psychedelic pop-drone (just made it up) territory, with 'Atractores Extra?os II' by an unusual band coming from the Canary Islands. And now the last releases of 2007: Already out is a nostalgic ambient masterpiece by polish musician krypton, called 'Silent Drama', and next we will have Motown Junkie with a selection of sample-based cut'n'paste groovy tracks and after that Cory Allen, another ambient genius, and then Eye, a musical project made by a dancer, and then the return of L.A. based Norman Fairbanks, just in time to wrap up this year. wheew! See you in 2008! Peace, '| November 27, 2007 PSYCHEDELIA FROM THE ATLANTIC " tube'|101 - G.A.F. - Atractores Extra?os II or, we are happy on the another planet ?Get this: Macedonian born Bosnian-Croatian and currently living in the spanish Islas Can?rias, Mladen Kurajica operates this band which makes some unrecognizable kind of psychedelic drone rock of sorts. G.A.F. is the name, which stands for Grifa Ambient Factory. Mladen is also one of the most active promoters of the live music scene in the Canary islands, which really shows his love for music and everything related. G.A.F.'s music is not easy to describe because it mutates from one work to the other. I've listened to stuff resembling of Sonic Youth's untuned guitars and steady drums to stuff that could easily be found among Spacemen 3/Sonic Boom's not so famous ambient works. And then they change again into something completely different. 'Atractores Extra?os II, or we are happy on the another planet' is a pretty varied album when it comes to music aesthetics. It opens with a couple of pop-ambient tracks 'Gaf likes turbo folk' and 'You saw the radio design that shaped our lives' which would appeal to even the most mainstream type of listener, but then it troddles into 'a7' and from then on Mladen and the guys go into 'ambient drone mode' to build the best tracks on this release. The song pair 'I saw your...' is absolutely fantastic in every way and they both set the mood for this album. The first features Mladen's own voice and the second is an ambient drone piece. 'The dawn fades away' is an epic and the real keeper here. The thing is a long heavy and psych drone that somewhere along the way puts us into some kind of contemplative state. Do not - I repeat - do not listen to this while driving a vehicle or while working with compex and dangerous machinery. You have been warned. G.A.F. is a one of a kind band and you really need to listen to the other works they did to fully comprehend the grasp of what they're trying to do. They will probably come to the Iberian Peninsula in late march next year, so keep your eyes peeled for a G.A.F. gig near you.? - Pedro Leit?o '| November 26, 2007 UPGRADING Hello again. We chose this occasion of the 100th release to upgrade our work machine. That's why we're a bit behind schedule, we had to undergo the usual hardware tests and software installations before being ready work on our catalogue again. So, what are we running here at the office? Nice of you to ask: intel's E6750 dual core processor with 4 gigabytes of system memory and one 250 gigabyte single platter hard drive for improved disk access speeds. Next up: G.A.F. Peas, '| November 16, 2007 PAPERCUTZED It's always very nice to see a test tube getting forward in is his/her career. It is such the case of :papercutz, featured in our release tube005. Bruno and the gang joined the ranks of Montreal's Apegenine Recordings and are expecting to see their debut full length 'Lylac' out this year on that canadian label. With european distribution by Baked Goods we're hoping to see it featured on the shelves of dozens of records stores and reviewed pretty much in every music mag and blog everywhere. Best of luck to :papercutz! Peas, '| November 12, 2007 THE ART OF CHILLIN' OUT " tube'|100 - Pitch Boys - Son of a Pitch ?Yeah, I was missing my good friend Nuno Meneses already. For our 100th release we are offering you 'Son of a Pitch', an album that was long overdue. It was to be released more than couple of years ago in Vinyl/CD format through our sister label, but some unexpected turns came down the road and it was kept in a drawer until some months ago. Well, here it is now just in time to commemorate our first one hundred releases. Unlike the previous Pitch Boys releases , 'Son of a Pitch' covers different ground in terms of aesthetics. Taking as an approach the typical song format, Nuno grabs some basics of chill-out genre and mixes them with world music references, ambient, broken beat and some lounge to create stylish music drones which are perfect with some smoking of the flora portrayed in both artwork covers. Some personal favorites: 'Creamynal', 'Plonaise', 'Son of a Pitch' and 'Marijuan'. Thank you Nuno, for another great selection of chillout tunes. Some of you might be asking why we didn't do the costumary 100th release compilation special, well... about an year ago I actually thought about it, doing some special stuff like a collaboration between a wide bunch of test tube artists. I started to line up some ideas and concepts, but sometimes is hard to manage the time needed for this to work out and suddendly it was too late to bring forward a complex idea like the one I was working on... lots of contacts to do, take into account the available time for each artist to complete the work, etc., etc. I had to abort the idea and pospone it to a future occasion, and do it right. And then the opportunity to release 'Son of a Pitch' came around and I didn't even think twice. Hope you all enjoy it. Roll up a king size for me!? - Pedro Leit?o '| November 05, 2007 THE PERFECT DREAMSCAPE " tube'|099 - Entia Non - Distal ?Another personal favorite of 2007 comes from the far away Australia. James McDougall a.k.a. Entia Non possesses the rare talent of putting together seemingly ordinary field recordings in a way that they sound to always have belonged together. If you enjoyed My Fun 'Idyll EP' release you'll love 'Distal'. James manipulates found sounds using ambient electronica techniques, tape reels and vinyl records into the most beautiful soundscapes you'll be able to hear. 'Watching the paint dry' is one of the best here, with sampled voices scattered amidst soft humming tones that sound like distant lost ships at sea. Beautiful stuff. 'A Winter Plateau' is another great track. A lot more into the 'nostalgia' theme than the previous ones - which is a recurrent theme when it comes to ambient music - but also very uplifting. Sparse real world here and there, but always embraced by a warm blanket of soft light. Makes us want to cuddle around a fireplace in a winter night with a cup of hot chocolate in our hand. Closing track 'Above' is a real gem. Runs for a little over ten minutes and covers mostly sci-fi soundtrack territory, which is something of a personal favorite around here. Could have been in Tarkovsky's 'Solaris' soundtrack and it would fit like a glove. James is a really talented musician who should not go unnoticed for he makes really amazing music capable of putting us into various states of dreamscape modes. With the perfect drug this can open portals to distant worlds too. James released a previous album on the infamous CDR label U-COVER called 'Inter Alia'. If you enjoyed what you have listened here you should go and buy it immediately, because it is a limited edition. Also, keep your eyes peeled for another Entia Non album here at test tube, somewhere in 2008.

Whatever contributed to this abnormally high download count is still a mystery here... perhaps some weblog reference we haven't found yet. Anyway, it's totally deserved because both volumes from Long Desert Cowboy (tube095 and tube096) are absolutely fantastic. Big difference between both volumes, too... weird. #07 is the same as last month. Another 300 downloads for Juan Jos? Calarco's Plano Vertical. As for the rest, pretty normal scores considering they're all recent releases - all within a 2 month timeframe.

A bit late on this newsletter but here we go: Another year for test tube went by, and we reached the one hundred release mark. I never thought that would be running a label and reach the magical number. It has been great, with many hours of great pleasure listening to stuff from the five continents (well... three actually, we haven't got anything from Africa or Antarctica... yet.), many hours working on artwork and covers, many good friends I have made across the globe, and all this time was indeed well spent. This netlabel thing was one of the greatest ideas I had in years! I extract much pleasure and fulfillment doing this and I hope that I'll always have some spare time in my life to keep doing it. Even if it takes asking for help from outside. test tube has released 44 titles in 2007, which is an amazing number and almost accounts for a release every week or so. I understand that this translates in too many releases for the average test tube fan to keep track of them, so, I will try to restrain myself and keep this number under the 35/40 mark for 2008. The thing is, we still get many submissions every week and most of them are really good. I rarely miss the opportunity to put them out. But lets see this as a new year's resolution: refrain test tube's release agenda to a minimum. On the other hand, the way things are going right now, we will have a second volume of the popular DVD-R release somewhere in the middle of this year. I haven't thought of the artwork theme yet, but one thing's certain: it won't be about psychoactive substances or general flora. I will have to think of something else. Good and interesting ideas are very welcome :) We will start the release agenda of 2008 with yet another South-American artist who goes by the name of Cristian Gualpa. Very good and exciting music has been coming out of the new 'old' world. 'Flotante EP' will be out somewhere this week, so keep your eyes peeled. Now for the locals: test tube will host an evening at 'O S?culo', which is a nice venue at Bairro Alto, Lisbon, located at Rua do S?culo. Pitch Boys will be playing a live set of minimal techno - which is an unusual genre for him, this might be interesting... - with live video by Junction. Following there will be a dj set based entirely of netaudio tracks, played by yours truly. Expect lots of ambient, field recordings, smooth and silky stuff, and maybe some IDM and minimal beats to boot... I'm not sure yet of what I'll be playing. Admission is free and drinks are cheap. Stop by to say hello :) Oh, dates! This event will be held January 17 (thursday) at 22/23h. Later! Peace, '| December 31, 2007 CALIFORNIA ?BER ALLES " tube'|105 - Eye - Plays ?Well... and here's our last tube of 2007. Please welcome again Mr. Fairbanks from Los Angeles, California, with this new collection of tracks, which he appropriately titled 'American Case Study'. Norman has been steadily putting out high quality releases for a couple of years at least, officially releasing most of them through his own website. In this present case, we made a selection out of a couple of his latest works, rounding up roughly an hour of Fairbanks' tunes. 'American Case Study' helps us to explore an unusual side of Norman's creations, namely the ambient/spoken word approach. 'Element One' through 'Element Five' gathers some speeches from whatever - including the late Allen Ginsberg - and serves them with some of Norman's trademark spacious beats and drones. The rest of the album rests on the usual high quality of minimal techno and IDM, on healthy doses for good measure. To put it simply, Norman Fairbanks' music is an amalgam of contemporary American culture, synthesized in small packets of aural pleasure. Enjoy! Happy New 2008!? - Pedro Leit?o '| December 26, 2007 FREESTYLE " tube'|105 - Eye - Plays ?Peter Memmer is originally from Germany and is a former classical dancer who used to live in Portugal until very recently - the cover photo was taken by Peter at a typical portuguese Carnival festivity at Loul? - before moving again to another european country, Spain, if I'm not mistaken. Musically, one could easily think of Peter's work like something between Manitoba/Caribou and Kieran Hebden's Four Tet: Contemporary electronic pop with traces of pop-rock from last century. On the other hand, Eye also touches fringes of good old experimental territory, and even some electroacoustics too, churning out some nice drones and minimal textures somewhere along the middle part of 'Plays'. But the keyword here is 'Pop' without a shadow of a doubt. Excellent release!? - Pedro Leit?o '| December 26, 2007 LATE FOR XMAS Yeah, well... with all the family-get-togethers and stuff, I forgot to leave everybody a wishful xmas message. We are also late with the last two (well at least with one) 2007 releases, tube105 from Eye and tube106 from our favorite L.A. resident Norman Fairbanks. But we will put them out before monday, and that's a promise. Meanwhile, keep downloading our previous releases and keep enjoying our latest by Cory Allen. And while you're at it, visit Con-V and download yet another Cory Allen's release 'Observing a Warmth'. Get it here. Peas, '| December 19, 2007 BEYOND AWAKENING " tube'|104 - Cory Allen - Satori in Atlantis ?As you struggle to stop your thoughts, you can still hear the conversation of some neurons. Sometimes they sound like little pieces of metal sliding over a self-constructed organism, or granular rings that create ephemeral vibrations. In any case, they lead you into a psychic silence where you are able to listen to a higher consciousness. The enlightenment and awakening of your being brings you the true nature of creation. As you listen, you can create a new world formed of legendary islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, pleasantly sink into deep waters, or embrace your own neurological research. Once you find yourself floating, Satori in Atlantis allows this experience to last longer and create new beginnings to deeply understand the world you imagined. With this insightful sonic production, you are able to associate and assemble the wisdom of eastern philosophies and quantum mechanics. Allens creations succeed in becoming a source of energy. Satori can be found in every moment of life, it is wrapped in all daily activities, its goal to unwrap them to see and hear satori. Be ready to submerge into a very profound view of the unified field. Be ready to journey into deeper levels of intelligence in nature and establish a dialog with your self.? - Sebastian Alvarez '| December 11, 2007 ED IN WONDERLAND " tube'|103 - Motown Junkie - Plagiarism Perversions ?Motown Junkie a.k.a. Ed The Sampler is Edgar Matos and lives very close to the spanish border in a portuguese town called Elvas, deep in the Alentejo's deserted countryside. Ed - for short - loves heavy metal rock, noise, goth, industrial and several other kinds, but he also enjoys sampling based electronic music and is quite fond of dark ambient too. As Nhoin - another one of his aliases - he has released stuff on our friend label Enough Records, but this time, as he puts on the Motown Junkie outfit, we will be graced with a different pallete of sounds. 'Plagiarism Perversions', despite its rather obnoxious or even tasteful artwork, is not about junkies or sex perverts, but rather about the art of stealing and appropriating of well known pop music phrases and references, and the consequent recontextualization of those elements, in an instrumental Hip Hop setting. Ed captured dozens of bass lines, guitars, drum beats, keyboard notes, etc., from pretty much everything he had lying around, mainstream or not, and built 15 tracks with strong hip hop beats and strings and basslines from various other styles turning the originals almost unregonizable (but still recognizable if you have a sensible ear). I won't say any names to not spoil your surprise.? - Pedro Leit?o '| December 10, 2007 NEW DOPE As mentioned a few days ago in our last 4XT, DOPO released very recently a new album with north-american's Foxglove Records, Mr. Brad Rose's (of The North Sea fame) own label. We've updated our shop with that item and a few others. Please note that we don't sell those third party releases ourselves, but we point you in the right direction, should you happen to buy anything. Shop is here. Peas, '| December 03, 2007 SONIC GASES OF INTEGRATION " tube'|102 - krypton - Silent Drama ?Whether a fictional planet in the DC Comics universe or a chemical element, known as a noble gas that occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere, Krypton has the ability to expand into your subconscious. Along these sounds, you would be able to walk through a cold hummed darkness to develop systems of echolocation that will take you into distant memories. In this realm, memory becomes a bright greenish-yellow light that glows and reverbs. Once submerged into the nature of silent drama, you might hear the images of a forsaken territory, of a territory that is like faint shadows, of a connection with the land that is not familiar any longer. Once thought to be completely inert, Krypton is known to form a few compounds. These compounds are substances formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. In this case these substances are sonic. By suddenly arriving with some metal keys being plucked up and down, human rights is one of the tracks that will probably bring you back into the human constructs of a cyclical and percussive time. On the whole, these seven pleasant and fluorescent tracks are aural treats that can make you understand that all is one, that there are no fundamental divisions, and a unified set of laws underlie nature.? - Sebastian Alvarez '| December 03, 2007 NOVEMBER 4XT #01 - tube100 - Pitch Boys - Son of a Pitch [1314 downloads] #02 - tube096 - Long Desert Cowboy - Western Spaghetti [633 downloads] #03 - tube095 - Long Desert Cowboy - Sandshoes [588 downloads] #04 - tube099 - Entia Non - Distal [572 downloads] #05 - tube097 - Organic Anagram - London By Night [491 downloads] #06 - tube061 - Project Swirl - Alpha Centauri EP [487 downloads] #07 - tube098 - The Turtle - Hyper Riot [323 downloads] #08 - tube063 - DOPO - For the Entrance of the Sun [319 downloads] #09 - tube087 - Juan Jos?

Both releases by Long Desert Cowboy are still going strong at #02 and #03 which is great. There are however three surprises: tube061 - Project Swirl - which is from 2006 and tube006 back from 2004! That's awesome! And then there's DOPO's album at #08 with 319 downloads which isn't that much of a surprise since they've released their new album just a couple weeks ago on Foxglove, called 'Crossing Birds'. It's a 100-copies-limited release, so be quick! See you in a month with a new 4XT!

He has been recognized for creating different types of abstract sounds such as dense drones and minimalist/contemporary classical compositions. Pitre (originally from New Orleans) spent the better part of the 90s in San Diego. He began exploring drone, minimalism, and ambient music at the closing of the decade, and in September 2004 he moved to Brooklyn, to be closer to one of the nexuses of experimental music. There, Pitre began in-depth studies of music and sound including: the physics of sound, the involvement of mathematics in tuning and temperament, the ancient tuning system of Just Intonation and other microtonal tuning systems, as well as the minimalist composers La Monte Young, Terry Riley, and Steve Reich. www.duanepitre.com A Circle and the Sound that Fills It here Arranged by a 2.038 inch circle and the equation; radius squared x pi = area = 3.26 inches / 2 [area left & right] = 1.63 inches = 1.63 minutes = 97.8 seconds.

Co-Sponsor: The ASAHI SHIMBUN FOUNDATION The Agency for Cultural Affairs Government of Japan in the fiscal 2007 Produced by Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media Technical Support: YCAM Interlab Project Curator: Kazunao Abe (YCAM) Japan's leading electronic composer/artist, Ryoji Ikeda, focuses on the minutiae of ultrasonics, frequencies and the essential characteristics of sound itself. His work exploits sound's physical property, its causality with human perception and mathematical dianoia as music, time and space. Using computer and digital technology to the utmost limit, Ikeda has been developing particular "microscopic" methods for sound engineering and composition. Using computer and digital technologies to the utmost limit, his audiovisual concerts datamatics (2006 present), C4I (2004 - present)commissioned by YCAM and formula (2000 - 2006) suggest a unique orientation for our future multimedia environment and culture. His acclaimed installations data.tron[prototype] (2007), data.film [n?1-a] (2007),data.spectra (2005), spectra [for terminal 5, jfk] (2004), spectra II (2002) and db (2002) continue to diffuse Ikeda's aesthetic of 'ultra minimalism' to the art world. The following works will be presented in the upcoming exhibition at YCAM. + datamatics [ver2.0] datamatics [ver 2.0] is the new, full?length version of Ryoji Ikeda's acclaimed audiovisual concert. Ikeda has significantly developed the earlier version of this piece (premiered in March 2006), adding a newly commissioned second part. Driven by the primary principles of datamatics, but objectively deconstructing its original elements ? sound, visuals and even source codes ? this new work creates a kind of meta?datamatics. Ikeda employs real?time programme computations and data scanning to create an extended new sequence that is a further abstraction of the original work. + data.tron data.tron is an audiovisual installation, where each single pixel of visual image is strictly calculated by mathematical principle, composed from a combination of pure mathematics and the vast sea of data present in the world. These images are projected onto a large screen, heightening and intensifying the viewer's perception and total immersion within the work. + data.film [n?1-a] A sculptural wall installation, data.film consists of a series of 35mm film mounted in a light box. The image on the film is constructed from microscopically printed data codes and patterns from pure digital sources, while the unusual proportions of the light box (4 cm high, 10 metres wide, 4 cm deep) create a long, narrow strip of film. Only upon close examination by the viewer can the film and its contents be recognised. + test pattern [n?1] - World Premiere - Ryoji Ikeda's new project test pattern is interrelated with his datamatics project. test pattern is a system to convert any kind of data (text, sounds, photos and movies) into barcode patterns and binary patterns of 0s and 1s. Through its application, the project's aim is to examine the relationship between critical points of device performance and threshold of human perception. The installation comprises 8 computer monitors and 16 loudspeakers aligned on the floor in a dark space. The 8 rectangular surfaces of the screens flicker intensely with black and white images, floating and convulsing in the darkness. 16-channel sound signals are mapped as a grid matrix, passing and slicing the space sharply. Via a real-time computer program, the signal patterns are converted into 8 barcode patterns, which are tightly synchronized. The velocity of the moving images is ultrafast, some hundreds of frames per second at certain points, providing a performance test for the devices and a response test for visitors' perceptions. __Schedule of the Opening Day (March 1st, 2008) 10:00- exhibition open?StudioA: 16:00 close for concert / Studio B: 20:00 close? 15:00-16:30 reception at trattoria"ancola"?YCAM? 19:00 audiovisual concert datamatics [ver.2.0] open at Studio A 19:30-21:00 audiovisual concert datamatics [ver.2.0] 22:00 after party *Please Reserve In Advance. * If you can come to see the opening, please notify us at soojin at ycam.jp by Feb. 1st.

By ?quoting? or even literally ?sampling? and reinterpreting subjects from an industrialized and western reality, Devens issues the well-accepted conceptions behind it. This research embeds in the contemporary developed digitized culture that also characterizes the work consequently. Sound works, video installations and other inter-disciplinary productions processes this research. The performances are live acts or concerts, based on computer generated sounds, recordings and improvisations. These compositions are often based upon musical figures taken from commercial pop music. By reinventing the sounds and the aesthetics we are used to, the attempt is to remove them from the symbolical and rhetorical clich?s they are normally associated with. Paul Devens studied at the ABK and the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. His work has been installed, performed and screened at: le Magasin, Grenoble (France, 1994), LU, Nantes (France, 2000), Confort Moderne, Poitiers (France, 2001), Museum Z33, Hasselt (Belgium, 2002), Neuer Aachener Kunstverein (Germany, 2003) Marres, Maastricht (2000 & 2003), Ctrl_Alt_Del, Istanbul (2003, 2005, 2007), Pause / Oboro Gallery, Montreal (2004) and OCA/ISP Oslo (2004), Love City, Tallinn, Salzburg, Maastricht (2006), Experimental Intermedia, New York (2006). SoundSouvenirs, Intro Maastricht, Het Domein Sittard (2007), Laptopia#4, Tel Aviv (2007). www.pauldevens.com Some examples from earlier works: Testing Ground, 2006, Zaal (KC) Belgi?, Hasselt, Belgium Testing Ground is a model, issuing the relation between concepts of architecture, acoustics and sound. The setup is remotely similar to a pop concert-situation, the way the audience is regarded as a standing group of people. Only this time, there?s not one focus (to a performing band, for instance), but several undefined ones.First, the audience enters a space of around 80 square meters. Two rails, consisting of 3 loudspeakers each, are supported by tripods. These speakers are aimed towards the ceiling from above ear level. This way, the mid- and high pitched sounds are audible as a reflection against the ceiling. The electro-acoustic music is composed on a virtual modular system, designed to play eight different looping electronic sound bits. Each sound is assigned to one of the six high-power speakers through a programmed sequencer; the ?route? each individual sound-bit follows from speaker to speaker into space, is predetermined in the program this way. Except from the fact the music is a time based composition, the audience is able to hear different emphasis on rhythm and colour by walking around or choosing other standing positions. During the twenty minutes of this time-based installation the room changes; the ceiling drops very slowly from four- to two meters. The reflections of sounds changes, the acoustic behaviour of the space changes, and the individual space of each person in the audience changes as well. On The Edge Of The Park, 2006 / 2007sound composition for the exhibition: ?The man who fell to earth?, CareOf, Milan 03?59? DVD dolby surround ?On the edge of the park? is a high-energy sound composition for five speakers and one subwoofer. Besides the absence of images, it relates to a great extent to cinematic sound-design: played on a high volume, it aims at a specific emotional impact, which could be seen in the contemporary tradition of spectacular films and its effects. As a consequence, we are receptive because of its embedment in the common awareness of western culture. At a distance, even a more specific relation to cinema could be seen; the title is partly taken from the film: ?The House on the Edge of the Park? (?La Casa sperduta nel parco?) of the Italian filmmaker Ruggero Deodato. This controversial film seems to issue its position in the public- and ruling moral and the dictating role of mass media; even as a reaction against these institutions, it makes its controversiality exclusively dependent to it and play the market from there. Thus, a maybe elementary difference shows here too; European cinema against Hollywood, which conforms much more in line with the ruling moral and to commercial success. Another lead from the title comes from ?..on the edge..?. This resonates with the outsider-position; usually the position of the criticaster / artist. You could say being on ?the edge? is the only position where art really means something. ?..the park..?, of course, is a soothing enclave of relative oblivion.. The sound composition ?On the Edge of the Park? researches the relation of ?spectacular aesthetics? with actual content by using a DIY strategy to gain independency and authenticity and accordingly, to create an alternative reality. ----------------- a u f a b w e g e n p.o.box 100152 50441 cologne germany http://www.aufabwegen.com ----------------- From thanielionlee at thanielionlee.com Sun Jan 13 12:56:29 2008 From: thanielionlee at thanielionlee.com (Thaniel Lee) Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 12:56:29 -0500 Subject: [Microsound-announce] Updates and News Message-ID: <2a7841840801130956k5f0986d2g62124116a6b50601@mail.gmail.com> Updates and News hello this is the first monthly update of this year and im proud to say that I have ... added work to the instructional based works section of my website, the works I added can be seen at http://thanielionlee.com/instructionalbased.html I am attempting to compile a catalog of sorts of my text based works. and on march 8th of this year I will be having an opening of my first web based work ever, and although I currently don't know how I will have a reception for a web based show/work...I am planning one anyway....the show/work will be located at....http://everything.thanielionlee.com/ as usual if you have any questions/comments feel free to email me at thanielionlee at thanielionlee.com -thaniel ion lee -- ........................................ http://thanielionlee.com/ http://thanielarts.blogspot.com/ http://artistblackmusic.thanielionlee.com/ From thanielionlee at thanielionlee.com Sun Jan 13 16:37:40 2008 From: thanielionlee at thanielionlee.com (Thaniel Lee) Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:37:40 -0500 Subject: [Microsound-announce] dear Rebecca263 Message-ID: <2a7841840801131337i4c0c5dcfvc20d915a228dd497@mail.gmail.com> thankyou for your comment.... -t -- ........................................ http://thanielionlee.com/ http://thanielarts.blogspot.com/ http://artistblackmusic.thanielionlee.com/ From dwnewman at clara.co.uk Sun Jan 13 16:48:34 2008 From: dwnewman at clara.co.uk (David @ Audiobulb) Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 21:48:34 -0000 Subject: [Microsound-announce] RME PCI card for sale References: <2a7841840801131337i4c0c5dcfvc20d915a228dd497@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <006301c8562e$0e3b22a0$e3067257@BEPPC> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130189777476 ------------------------------------------------ The RME HDSPe PCI Express card for Multiface, Multiface II, Digiface and RPM. The PCI engine of the Hammerfall DSP System, interfaces with Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes. The RME HDSPe PCI express card uses RME's own audio bus, already known from the PCI version, operating in combination with Multiface II, Multiface, Digiface and the RPM DJ interface. RME is especially proud on the fact that all users of RME interfaces can easily expand their system so that it operates with the latest and fastest PCI Express computers and Windows Vista, not losing all the money formerly invested in audio hardware. A 6 year old Multiface of the first generation can still be used today with the fastest multi-processor systems! As an additional option the HDSPe PCI card can be used directly with RME's Time Code Option Module, offering an SMPTE controlled operation. RME's HDSPe PCI card is not based on a PCI to PCI Express bridge, which would simply add PCIe to existing PCI technology. It is a newly developed genuine PCI Express solution, which consequently takes full advantage of the new format, achieving significant performance gains in multitrack audio. Thanks to RME's flash update technology, future firmware improvements, adjustments, and bugfixes can be installed easily at any time. The PCI Express interface of the HDSP system is based on the PCI Express Base Specification v 1.1. It represents a 1-Lane PCI Express Endpoint Device and supports 2.5 Gbps line speed. Thanks to the packet-based full duplex communication, the card provides a transfer rate of up to 500 MB/s - 250 MB/s in every direction. The connection between PCI card and I/O box is established using ordinary firewire cable (IEEE 1394, 6-pole.) The data transfer does not use Firewire protocol, but RME's own proprietary bus protocol. The supplied cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.) long. The PCI card operates as power supply for the attached I/O-box (Digiface, Multiface, Multiface II, RPM) over the FireWire cable. The main features of the RME HDSPe PCI include: a.. PCI Express interface b.. For the connection of Multiface, Multiface II, Digiface and RPM Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes c.. Short PCI Express card d.. Even lower latencies e.. Direct support of HDSP TCO - Timecode Option Module f.. 1-Lane PCI Express Endpoint Device g.. 250 MB/s transfer rate per direction h.. Secure BIOS Technology: card stays fully functional even when the flash process fails i.. Output: IEEE 1394 connector, RME bus protocol j.. Package contents: PCI card, cable 4.5 meter (15 ft) IEEE 1394a k.. Supplied with drivers for Windows XP (multi-client operation of MME, GSIF and ASIO 2.0) and brand new Windows Vista drivers.

"Lluvia Acida [Acid Rain] have taken a stand to present, via their sensitive contemporary songs, the Federacion Obrera de Magallanes Massacre, moving us, placing us right in the midst of an event thru diverse music intervals, timbres, vocals, instruments, and harmonies, turning this unfair human pain - inflicted by a perverse power that has moved all along our planet's History and Times - into a universal feeling. Nothing but acknowledging Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel for their risky, bold, visionary stand, and, of course, Lluvia Acida, and their rainy, cloudy music from Magallanes: music that washes the aching cardinal directions of the universe with biting, corrosive harmony, leaving a sign of music and humanity in future history. Let us not forget we humans vibrate, just like the cosmos does, and have been made alike; the opposite is going against life. Now, we are in front of a work of art, placed at that corner where underdogs meet our Third World abandoned hopes."

"Lluvia Acida tiene el gran merito de presentarnos hoy a traves de sensibles canciones con musica contemporanea, la Matanza de la Federacion Obrera de Magallanes, que nos conmueven, situandonos en medio de un acontecimiento que por la sensibilidad de este conjunto nos lleva por tiempos diversos y a traves de sus intervalos musicales, del timbre, de las voces y de la harmonizacion de sus instrumentos, universaliza el injusto dolor humano inflingido por un poder perverso que atraviesa la Historia y los Tiempos del planeta. Solo nos cabe agradecer el riesgo, el altruismo, la calidad del sello Pueblo Nuevo y por supuesto a Lluvia Acida: borrasca de musica magallanica, empapando todos los dolidos puntos cardinales del universo, harmonia mordaz, corrosiva que dejara su huella de humanidad musical en la historia futura, porque no podemos olvidar que el ser humano vibra exactamente como el cosmos y esta formado a su imagen y semejanza; lo contrario es ir contra la vida misma.
