[Microsound-announce] new from and/OAR

Hello everyone,

One new CD pertaining to a particular date
and another new CD pertaining to a particular season. 
Both brought to you by and/OAR: 
http://www.and-oar.org/

And gosh darn it, I still don't have those mp3 samples up yet...
Soon folks, soon...



and/23: MNORTHAM; Automnal 2003
http://www.and-oar.org/pop_and_23.html

Highly indicative of the nomadic lifestyle that international sound
artist Michael 
Northam has come to know over the past 5 or so years, this release
represents 
a sonic recollection of his life dispersed across a vast geography,
pinpointing 
three specific locations and moments from his long journey:

- Glacier du Trient, Switzerland / France
- Eagle Creek, Indianapolis
- Ils Grosbois, Montreal

At times, this hypnotic release presents meditative, invigorating, and
eerie 
translations of places and experiences in ways that only Northam can
poetically 
convey.

Originally dispersed among friends in 2003, as a limited edition
"spontaneous 
document" CDR, this work is now re-issued on CD by and/OAR, so it can
finally 
be heard by a larger audience. And deservedly so.




and/24: TAYLOR DEUPREE / KENNETH KIRSCHNER / TOMAS KORBER/
STEINBRUCHEL/AARON XIMM: May 6, 2001

On the night of Sunday, May 6, 2001, composer Kenneth Kirschner, as part
of
a series of pieces documenting the sounds of different New  York City 
neighborhoods, took his tape recorder to the Financial  District of Lower

Manhattan to begin field recordings for a new  piece. The resulting 
low-resolution portrait captured the sounds of a  deserted urban
landscape: the 
empty, winding streets of old Dutch New  Amsterdam, its modern, towering 
skyscrapers -- and a region of the  city that, several months later,
would be 
renamed Ground Zero.

and/OAR is proud to present "May 6, 2001", a collection of five
interpretations 
by five renowned  contemporary composers of the aforementioned  field 
recording portrait.

With excerpts from Kirschner's original  2001 composition based on the
field 
recording, the CD also includes pieces  by Taylor Deupree (USA), Tomas
Korber (Switzerland), Ralph  Steinbrüchel (Switzerland), and Aaron Ximm
(aka Quiet American; USA),  all utilizing the 2001 Financial District
field
recording as their  sole source material. The result is a project that
obliquely 
and subtly evokes the source recording and its subsequent meanings, while
also standing on its own as an estimable example of each artist's mastery

of his craft.


As usual, thanks for your time!

Best Regards, Dale
