[Microsound-announce] news from and/OAR

[dkl37 at juno.com]

Hello everyone,

Three new releases to announce and re-announce!
First I would like to further clarify the new divisions of the label. 
Both mOAR and either/OAR are part of and/OAR, not separate labels. 
They could just as well be viewed as two new series on the label. 
Most people who know about a/O, know that it has established itself 
over the past 7+ years as a premiere label for environmental 
recordings and field recording-based sound art, so the two new 
sectors were formed in order to maintain this status while expanding 
into other sonic territories.

I mention this partially out of respect for labels such as Morr Music and

others that might have similar names, so as to not appear like I’ve
created 
new labels that threaten to step on their toes and cause confusion
(and possible disdain).

catalog: moar2
artist: YUKI KANEKO
title: Rut
format: CD
link: http://www.and-oar.org/moar_catalog_moar2.html

Continuing onward with the new mOAR division of and/OAR, we next 
have Yuki Kaneko's "Rut", a beautiful sparkling kaleidoscopic homage 
to the common wonders of day to day life that displays this young 
composer's already great talent for subtly weaving together complex 
textures of electronic and acoustic sound sources into cleverly abstract 
melodic musings. As with Sawako Kato's debut CD release a few years 
ago on a/O, this will prove to be another perfect CD for Spring and
Summer.
Initially released on Magic Book Records in Japan a few months ago,
this US release of "Rut" is quite different in that it has been
remastered with
some tracks having been completely re-constructed / remixed, with one
track being replaced by a new one, therefore improving the flow of the
tracks
and heightening the emotive dynamics of the entire release. Needless to
say,
and/OAR is quite pleased to make this quintessential version of "Rut" 
available to world.

Yuki Kaneko is a sound artist based in Tokyo. Since 2001 Yuki has been 
involved with acoustic sound design, soundtracks for various stage 
productions, sound installations, and he runs his own CDR label called 
PhaseRubRec.

catalog: and/all2
artist: ARSENIJE JOVANOVIC
title: Galiola - Works For Radio, 1967- 2000
format: CD
link 1: http://foarm.artdocuments.org/issues.htm
link 2: www.alluvialrecordings.com  ( krwienke at hotmail.com )
link 3: http://www.and-oar.org/pop_and_all2.html

FO A RM Projects, in collaboration with and/OAR and Alluvial 
Recordings, is pleased to present this 80 minute collection of 
sound works, newly remastered and accompanied by 
extensive notes by the composer.

Over the last 40 years, Serbian radio-art composer and film director
(IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0431241/ )
Arsenije Jovanovic has developed a deeply personal style of sound 
art for radio broadcast. His compositions are imbued with natural 
environments and human-centered activities. They feel rooted in place 
- whether real, imaginary, remembered or dreamed. Weaving voices, 
instruments, field recordings and manipulated sound, Jovanovic creates 
vivid narratives without a story. He takes full advantage of sound’s 
capability for seamless morphing and far-flung association.

1. Prayer For One Galiola (1967)
2. Tombstones Along The Roadside (1967)
3. Prophecy Of The Village Kremna* (1990)
4. Les Vents Du Camargu (2000)

*Portions of this piece were used in "The Thin Red Line",
a film directed by Terrence Malick.
Comes packaged in a digipak with 12 page booklet.
