It belies forms of erasure and who will kill the King. It belies unbekleidung, entkleidung; around no core as such, via no system as such, hapax legomenon. It is honorific and televiz; from funereal contortion. It measures no cultural field, no thematic fold. It is mobilised as outpour, as aftermathmatics; whose itinerary is fugitive and sunless; whose angelic patina is all binary adaptations written on bodies without procession. Spot the incantation, dumdeediddle. The dodo was asking for it, right? ...Kennst du das land?

EHEIM 1000.220: '647_sek._liebe' actually was made for the Radiospotting project at Linz, Austria. It's the acoustical interpretation of a short story by Austrian author Johanna Tschautscher (a diaolgue between two lovers), which was inspired by a steel sculpture of the Spanish artist Amadeo Gabino. The steel sculpture is located in the middle of Linz, on the banks of the Donau river. To get the sounds for 676_sek._liebe I went to Linz to collect them directly from the sculpture itself. So all you hear in the track is sounds from the sculpture. I only added two samples - a very short excerpt from a work of Anton Bruckner and a short sample with the city noise of Linz Familiars: Old friends; recently reintroduced via happenstance in cyber; this to celebrate... (Anthony Donovan (Murmurists) (UK): 4 string acoustic bass, objects, scant electronics, keyboard, editing & processing / Garry Lindon (Silverhead) (Japan): 4 string fretless bass & electronics) Gurdonark: 'Walking through Trees' guides the listener through an imaginary walk through an elusive wood. In our new sharing music culture, the artist can create soundtracks for the simple joys of daily living. Once music is liberated from the nightclub, the concert hall, the coffee house, and the civic municipal auditorium, it finds its way in the harsh and gentle places of the day to day. I live in north Texas in the USA, a place of fields of endless grass and slender riparian woods which run along winding creeks. From time to time, the underlines of empty spaces are punctuated by periods of thick woods—the gentle hardwoods called the 'cross timbers' or the invasive cedars which choke the fields. This is a music in which the open-field sound of the cicada and cricket is just too distant to be heard, and lovely golden orb spiders spin webs across the paths. In the trees the birds sing—the cardinal in deep red plumage, the blue jay with his iridescent cries, and the mockingbird, gifted with the joy of imitating thousands of songs. This music was created using sequenced samples of simple woodwind instruments—an ocarina from Boulder, Colorado USA, a wooden flute from San Jose, Costa Rica and a child's bath toy called a water flute, from a thrift store in north Texas USA.'Walking through Trees' seeks a simplicity inherent in every walk and in every thought—a relaxation of pretence, a quiet meditation. I co-own the netlabel Negative Sound Institute, and release also on other netlabels from time to time. I recently co-moderated the music for a sound installation at the Ram Galleri in Oslo, Norway in which artsts from around the world submitted some 94 pieces to help the museum celebrate its 20th anniversary. My music hovers in the space between ambient and a bit odd--'weirdbient', if you will--and shows my deep respect for ambient pioneers, minimalist composers, and children's television. I am a deep believer in Creative Commons sharing, and as a result, my music has been used as the soundtrack for hundreds of on-line videos at all the lovely forests of the internet. I believe in the sanctity of individual moments, and in recording the gentle soundtracks to daydreams Jonas Ruchenhever: After the airship had been in flight for about six hours and darkness had fallen, all the lighting inside was turned off

Sound Inhaler and Ericka Ryder: A film by Sound Inhaler and Ericka Ryder. In 2009 Ericka Ryder (aka Psiekr) collated and displayed a series of found images in an exhibition in Italy. The images came from cctv footage and photographs taken by individuals of strangers they had developed an obsession with. It was called 4. The music playing at the exhibition was Stalker by Sound Inhaler. This is the film version compiled by Sound Inhaler in collaboration with Ericka Ryder. I am fascinated by stalking and the ease with which we can capture digital images of strangers and the prevalence of state and private documenting of our day to day existence. Is someone looking at an image of you right now? Are they merely motivated by Voyeurism or something more sinister, is it to control or is it because they need to objectify and capture
what they want to love? Ericka Ryder (2010). Examine your own feelings as you watch fleeting moments of someone else’s life captured and remember to look out for who’s pointing their camera phone at who!

The Thud Experiment: Two old friends who still enjoy music making. We are Jack Derbyshire and David Cunliffe. We have history and musical 'form' as it were :) Honest guv that synth just went off on its own, the bpm was like that when i got here, i only touched it and the volume went up to 11! Nothing has been changed to protect the innocent or the guilty. A personal hero once wrote, 'hustlers of the world, there is one Mark you cannot beat: the mark inside'. He knew about the hidden camera, it is what records the naked lunch, this camera is hidden for many reasons, barefaced truth is a heady brew, certain practicalities demand the camera MUST be hidden. It is always there though, the truth be known to you if you know it or don't. The footage can be watched; it must be watched with care. You can be what you want to be, you can document it, you can preserve it and still the hidden camera will record who and how you really are. 'Thought you were finished with doing weird stuff..........i thought i was too but i guess i'm not!' Regards and wishing you well, 'The Thud Experiment'
Thomas Fernier: l'interminable bruissement de l'étoffe... le bois qui craque : se dilate-t-il ou se contracte-t-il? des phasmes coincés entre deux plaques de verre verticalement maintenues glissent brusquement par grappes... ou bien est-ce le métal qui se détend à intervalles réguliers sous l'effet de ses propres orgasmes, brefs, modérés et contenus? le ciel s'assombri soudainement comme une eau dans laquelle on déverse de l'encre noire... l'obscurité progresse à une vitesse qui ne laisse aucun temps pour la réflexion... irisation bienfaisante à la lisière de mon champ de vision... je me retrouve dans la cuisine... prêt à plonger la tête dans la vapeur brûlante d'une boisson amère et opaque... toutes ces sensations cousues de fil blanc sur la roue temporelle que dessine l'aiguille des secondes... je guette la résonance profonde, épaisse et lourde... celle qui vient laver l'accumulation inquiétante des perceptions... pendant qu'elle n'en finit pas de s'éloigner, les chuintements, les accrocs, les sursauts refont peu à peu surface... leur danse n'avait jamais cessé... tout existe en même temps... ma pauvre faculté de perception m'oblige à choisir, à isoler... ce n'est que par un effort de la conscience consistant à recomposer entre eux les éléments perçus séparément que je finis par éprouver le sentiment d'un saisissement ubique

Vultures Quartet: The piece, '7:49', submitted for 0010 survey is extracted from Vultures Quartet's first full-length album, '56:29', released by and available via born in mind http://www.borninmind.com/ About Vultures Quartet: Dan Beattie uses synthesisers, zither, electric guitar, objects, electronics, and computer processing. He studied 20th Century Classical Music at Sussex University and Music with Visual Practice at Brighton University, and released a number of records of sample collage, mostly sourced from Free Jazz and Modern Classical Music, under various aliases, before moving to Free Improvisation. Beattie has also worked as a sound-designer, creating music and sound for many video games, installations, theatre performances, films and websites. Most recent live performances have been with the Free Jazz/Noise duo, Sarcomasine Bloc (with Tim Goldie), playing guitar in The Ailerons (with Dave Rowntree), and numerous solo laptop performances. Beattie has been a member of Eddie Prevost's improvisation workshop, and mixed/mastered recordings for Sarcomasine Bloc, Deflag Haemorrhage / Haien Kontra, Vultures Quartet, and These Feathers Have Plumes, besides a former career as a sound engineer in a Dutch studio. He also runs the miniature record label, Born In Mind. Beattie is also active on software development, including extensive programming in Max/MSP, and has had his work in this field featured in Creative Review and in the ICA's New Media Centre. He's also recently been responsible for designing the user interface for Birmingham Conservatoire's "Integra" live electronic music project. Matt Chilton uses laptop, webcam, torches and various microphones. Chilton principally employs Max/MSP/Jitter, PureData, and ChucK to create patches that can be played in real-time. It is something of an obsession of his that he does not use any pre-prepared sounds or samples when playing with Vultures Quartet; meaning that all of his sounds made for recordings and live performances are improvised in real-time. The patches he writes do various things; key examples include a light sensitive patch which uses two simple FM synthesizers and two looping samplers connected to an analysis of the feed from a webcam. As the luminosity of the webcam feed changes so do the pitches and harmonic content of the FM synths and the pitches of the looping samplers. Live sample manipulation is carried out using a patch that can hold four samples but with two separate channels of playback for each. Any start and stop points and any speed of playback, forwards or backwards, can be chosen for the samples and various. Generally Chilton samples percussion, as it offers a far wider expressive range of sounds when sampled and manipulated; often sounding nothing like the original sample. Other patches deal with algorithmic composition. These use sounds ranging from percussive to soft sine-wave-generators to create odd rhythms, microtonal "melodies" and atmospheric textures. Chilton started learning classical piano at the age of nine; going on to complete a fine art degree; and has worked as an artist for several years. More recently, he spent five years as a professional Java and Perl programmer. All of these things inform his practice as it is today. Along the way, Chilton has performed with many different groups - playing guitar, bass, piano, synth and laptop. As well as playing with Vultures Quartet, Chilton currently plays with Renderplant - a purely electronic experimental band with a dancer - and he records, solo, as Astrometria. He also occasionally revisits Spork, a guitar, drums and electronics band he has played in, sporadically, for some twelve years. Most recently, Chilton has collaborated with Jay Westfold, performing live as Atricyclist - sometimes as an experimental electronics and vocal duo, sometimes as an electronic dance music act. Will Connor uses percussion and objects. Heavily influenced by Italian Futurism and Dadaist mentalities, Connor incorporates a variety of metallic and household objects into his sonic arsenal. Pot lids, grill hoods, sheet metal, springs, and bicycles enhance the more traditional percussion he uses - with a goal of reversing the aural expectations of the instruments, attempting to create electronic sounds with acoustic devices, et cetera, creating drones and sustained sounds along with truncated, abrupt tinklings. Connor's background in improvised music, modern composition, and ethnic ensembles prepared him for playing with Vultures Quartet. Since first picking up drum sticks in 1978, Connor has played with projects such as The Pigeon Frequency Orchestra (Improv), one3four (Math-Punk and Improv), BAAMPHF!!! (Math-Punk), the Centre for Transgressive Behaviours (Absurdist Theatre and Improv), the Hawaii Kakula Ensemble (Sulawesi percussion group), and Fukadugalon (Improv),as well as playing Chinese opera and Tibetan folk music, working with Butoh and contact improv dancers, and performing new compositions by upcoming young composers. Currently, he is also playing with SonVer (cello-driven Gothic Improv) and The Atomic Crashdown (Improv Rock); and plays regularly with artists such as Laetecia Statier (Stereolab/Monade), Z'ev, John Butcher, and Farouk El Safi (Egyptian percussionist). Connor holds degrees in acoustics, music, and ethnomusicology and is currently an ABD Ph.D. candidate at Royal Holloway, University of London, conducting a research project on musical instrument construction. Anthony Donovan uses 4 and 6 string electric and acoustic basses, fretless half-guitars, zither, objects & scant electronics. His work with Vultures Quartet utilises so-called extended techniques, in an approach that is, in each case, unorthodox, agit prop and tactile. Donovan has worked in collaboration with musicians such as Steve Beresford, Damo Suzuki, Stephen Flinn, Kay Grant, Dom Lash, Bryan Lewis Saunders, Undress Beton, Zoologic, PAS, Pixyblink, Sandeep Mishra, Alpesh Moharir and Jo Quail; as well as supporting the likes of Adam Bohman, John Butcher, Faust, Nurse with Wound, John Russell, Phil Waschmann and Z'ev. Donovan works solo, as Murmurists, across several disciplines; combining words, composed music and soundart, images and film; releasing such material via suRRism-Phonoethics (Germany), Dadaist-Audio (Netherlands) and Foetal Orange (UK). He is also a member of the.clinamen with Zafer Aracagök; whose KOG album was released by White-Label Music (UK), in 2009. As a visual artist, Donovan has exhibited widely throughout Europe, the Americas, Russia, Uzbekistan, India, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, and Ghana, and has curated well-received exhibitions of Conceptual Art which have included the work of, for instance, Vittore Baroni, Robin Crozier, John Held Jr., Dick Higgins, Ray Johnson, Ruggero Maggi and Ben Vautier. Donovan is an ardent blogger. His long-running series of numbered 'items' - variously comprised of prose-works, poems, and aphorisms - currently runs into thousands of postings; with several of these being published by, for instance, Raw Dog Screaming Press (USA) and Blood Pudding Press (USA). He is a long-standing member of the on-line collective, Discharge, and contributes regularly to the on-line publications, the title we just forgot, unRecordists, New Absurdist, and Translated Text of Automatic Form. He holds a Ph.D. from the Manchester Metroploitan University, and is a recognised authority on aspects of Conceptual Art
