02_Elements: In spring 2012, I began inviting players whose work I admire to contribute improvised parts towards a long-term project with the working-title of 'Elements'. The intention was that each player contributes in isolation, without any knowledge about the other players taking part. After gathering a workable pool of these parts, I then began composing with these elements - processing, editing and such like - along with adding my own work. This is the second of these pieces, comprised of myself and one other player: 02_Elements_01. Improvisers: Anthony Donovan and Oblivion Substanshall / Composer: Anthony Donovan.

Akoustik Timbre Frekuency: Thee Door Is A Jar / Length: 8m16s / Instrumentation: Processed sounds of a door / This is an elektroakoustik remix of a purely akoustik komposition which I created using only thee thee door to my studio/temple/playroom as an instrument. Thee resulting sound study has been re-worked utilising a series of filtering and other processing tekniques to produce this final version presented here. Akoustik Timbre Frekuency mainly fokuses on kreating elektro-akoustik kompositions that are designed for Ritual usage, no matter what path thee praktitioner may follow. These have been labelled as ‘General Ritual Intensifiers’ and are designed to augment thee Gnostik experience. Various Ritual Instruments from around thee world are utilised within these rekordings inkluding Singing Bowls, Horns, Aura Chimes, Rain Stiks, Flutes and Bamboo Perkussion to name a few. Field rekordings are also inkorporated within thee kompositions which kan range from graveyards to nature parks, from sewers to tree tops. These akoustik rekordings are interwoven with synthesised and sampled material to kreate an evokative environment for thee listener to use as they see fit. It is a Sonik Tool...

Anthony Donovan and John Hyatt: Art Speaks 1 (Hole in the Air) / He dreams, for sure! The dreamer is in the pit; the place of the dreaming; the necessary space between the viewer and the viewed. He dwells where light lights the light of light to run in the steps of light indivisibly and to complex common sense; where the message is received before it is sent; where we doze between the question and the answer. Be you satisfied with your plot, Dreamer. Is it not a marvellous gutter; the place of music's black tadpoles swimming; the tear in the audience's eye; the realm of mediation; the hole in the air; the hole in time; the suspension of disbelief; in the gap between art and life?

Arcane Waves: Inside The Stringed Box / France / http://soundcloud.com/arcanewaves / My work aims to recreate conceptually-almost-pre-recorded ensembles with technologically-12-tone elements whilst studying certain developments or semi-simultaneous vibrations. If one concept must be grasped, it is this - the graphic notation always recontextualises the styles, and it must do so entirely diversely. I am very much influenced by the idea of integrating tonal passages, particularly whilst combined with a highly meta-ambiguous approach to chords. I was first introduced to the concept of 'randomly-stylistic motif-sonorities' last year, and it has allowed me a greater depth of arts, especially whilst integrating the ultimate transcription. The pursuit of stylistic illusion-non-linearities to suggest the mostly-hyper-random paradigm is a key focus of my symbolic study. When planning my quasi-diverse passages, I often find that composing a somewhat stylistic array of musical materials helps a great deal.

Bob Ostertag with Fred Frith, Charles K. Noyes and Bryan Medwed: an edit from the Bob Ostertag album, Getting A Head / With Fred Frith, Charles K. Noyes and Brian Medwed. An underground classic of tape manipulation from before the days of samplers. Best known for his work with computers, here a young Ostertag plays an instrument consisting of a highly unstable and peculiar recording system, which uses helium balloons to hold up tape loops between three tape recorders made to malfunction in a variety of ways. The record marks one of the first, and to this day one of the only, times that tape manipulation techniques developed by the first generation of electronic composers for use in the studio were adapted for liver performance and improvisation. Ostertag uses this rather sculptural and bizarre contraption to manipulate the brilliant guitar playing of Fred Frith, and the elusive percussion work of Charles K. Noyes. Originally released 21 years ago as an LP, the 1,000-copy run quickly disappeared into the abyss of the collectors item. / "One Side one of Getting A Head, the sounds move in short, almost breathless little impulses, always lively and alert. You know that Frith and Ostertag are listening to each other with strong, even crazed concentration (sometimes with manic glee too), never just fooling around or digging deeper ruts. Side Two is peaceful. The search for new sounds moves much more slowly, evolving in long, supple arcs made of smaller, more weirdly twisted parts; and in between there's enough time between the beginning of one event and the end of the next to enjoy some curiosity about what might be coming next. The high, insistently lyrical final episode is especially lovely". -- Gregory Sandow, Village Voice, January 7, 1981 / "Getting A Head is kissing cousins to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. True we have a tape loop here, but don't confuse this with Robert Fripp's small, intelligent, mobile unit. There are a lot more surprises here, and there is a vital interaction between the people running the decks and playing the instruments. Also, sides one and two are radically different, lacking the sameness of FRIPP's work and adding a good deal more 'hazard'. The result is a worthwhile balance of beautiful sounds and sensitive noise". -- OP Magazine, 1981 / "At its most intense, it assumes the proportions of electronic music, yet there are no synthesizer controls in site. Cascades of splintered guitar notes form the basis of a hyperactive and concentrated duet, both Frith and Ostertag drawing from an inexhaustible supply of musical and technical ideas". -- City Limits (London) November 5

Buskerdroid feat. Pixyblink: [...]
Cagey House: When I was a kid I had a friend who stuck a bean in his ear. He couldn't get it out, and it stayed there for a couple weeks or so. Eventually his ear got infected, and he got really sick. He ended up in the hospital. For his friends, it was really strange. One the one hand it was funny, because of the bean and the ear. On the other hand is was scary, because of the hospital. We'd be talking about what a nut he was, and how crazy he was, and then somebody would mention the hospital, and that he was in critical condition, and that he might not make it, and we'd all go quiet and look at the ground. Or the sky. It was weird that something so funny could also be creepy. But he did pull through, and when he got back he told us all how wild the whole thing was, and about the powerful drugs they gave him, and how crazy the doctors were, and how the nurses were so cool. And how his parents cried, and how he almost didn't make it. It sounded great, but not so great as to make any of us stick beans in our own ears. A couple weeks later, he came over my house to spend the night, and watch movies, and stay up till dawn. At dinner, my mom made hamburgers and french fries, and as we sat down to eat she set a big bowl of baked beans on the table. My fiend took one look at them and turned white as a ghost. My mom noticed and took the beans away, saying the probably nobody wanted any beans anyway, and she didn't even know why she made them. Later, during a quiet part of the movie, I said, to him, "So you don't like beans anymore, huh?" And he said, "Nope. And they don't like me either." I wasn't really sure what he meant, but I figured it sounded about right, coming as it did from a guy who almost hadn't made it because of a bean. But then he went on. He explained that ever since his experience in the hospital, he'd actually been able to hear stuff that beans said. Every single time he came close to beans they would start talking to him. Sometimes they were nice, and asked how he was, and why he never played with them anymore. Sometime they got mean and said that if he didn't stick one of them someplace real soon they'd do something horrible. He said, "I can't even stand going to the grocery store. I can hear them mumbling and buzzing inside the cans." For a second I though he was nuts, or brain damaged. But he didn't seem that way. And besides, stranger things had happened. That was something we said all the time back then, anything's possible, stranger things have happened. That night after the movies were over, and we had talked for a while, he fell asleep. It was probably around three, and I was wide awake. And I kept thinking about beans. I couldn't stop. I got up real quiet, and crept down the stairs. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I peeled back the plastic wrap from the bowl of beans we hadn't eaten at dinner and leaned in close. And I heard them. "Hey kid, you seem cool. You wanna play with us? It's fun to play." I pulled the plastic down real quick. I looked around and then lifted it up again. "Listen you little creep, you better do what we say, or we'll take that little-- ." I pulled the plastic wrap down tight and shoved the bowl into the back of the fridge behind some other stuff. My mouth was hanging open like I was some kind of jerk. I didn't know whether to laugh or to freak out entirely. I reached for the refrigerator door, and was closing it when I heard a little whisper, a little "psssst" sound. I came from this piece of left over lasagna that was probably like a week old. I was kind of dried out looking and sitting on a plate with a bit of plastic wrap draped over it. I bent my head towards it, and it said something to me that was so brutally horrible and disgusting that I've never repeated it to another soul. And I won't repeat it now. But I will say that, to this day, I continue to eat--no, to devour--all the lasagna I can, every chance I get. Lasagna knows who's boss

Crush!!!: Some Remote, Control / This piece was conceived by Crush!!!, who are Mark Browne, Sonic Pleasure and Ian Smith. Within improvisation the group utilises an array of found and home-made sound making devices combined with more traditional instruments. Sonic Pleasure is famed for her unique crafting of sound from bricks and masonry, reducing much of her instrumentation to dust by the end of a concert with an orange haze clearly visible over the playing area. Some of the bricks will be transported from her home, others will be collected near the venue. She also plays flute. Mark Browne plays piranha and castrato saxophones (sopranino “the small one that bites” and soprano), broken glass, earth, gongs, burnt piano and bones. He wants to give up playing music altogether and find other ways of relating to sound, but the irresistable urge to play has so far been too great. Ian Smith plays brass in an extraordinary and creative manner. For this venture the aim was to exploit the use of recording methods and create music that was not simply a pastiche of the concert performance. The members of the group individually created their contributions (with Sonic P living in Manchester, Ian in London, Mark in Aylesbury this has become a necessary activity). There was a composition outline created, files were traded, plans were changed, objectives rewritten, edits made and edits reverted
Daniel Heikalo: Pentatonic Evening: This composition is an experiment using only one pentatonic scale and its modes as the basis for an electroacoustically treated montage. The guitar parts were semi improvised from a graphic score I created, then edited and assembled. It was all done quite fast and many fragments' location on the timeline are the result of chance. Why mess things up with preconceptions when they happen just fine on their own

Their works are attempting to bend the perception of time - intensify the senses of the viewer and reactivate of the dismissed areas of psyche. Their creations and projects have been reviewed in the Wire Magazine / The Guardian / XLR8 / BELIO Magazine / DAZED / the Guardian / Fashioning Technology // artists website :: http://niochnioszki.net/ Domestic Violence is an audio-visual performance project by Ewelina Aleksandrowicz and Andrzej Wojtas. Granular outbursts of sound, synthetic paroxysm and DIY approach shape intensive performances arranged through a specifically conceived sensor based controller. The interface was built by the artists in order to control and manipulate the sound and visuals simultaneously, it allows the production of sound as a consequence of physical
gesture by using Force Sensitive Resistors. Different intensities of pressure and touch result in augmented or reduced inflection of glitch and noise and distorted aesthetic crashes of the video projection. Artists are using gun object [a part of interface] which consists of a camera, microphone and accelerometer to control the sound synthesis. Interface is connected to a laptop with Max/Msp software through Arduino platform. Influenced by post-apocalyptic landscape, glitch aesthetics and destructive punk attitude, Domestic Violence turns emotional aggregates into therapeutic images. During its live shows, the audience is invested and tortured by deeply sensual waves of concrete, material sound and pixelated raw images. With its harsh expressive wildness and a dark, brutalist touch, Domestic Violence leads the viewer through an imaginative digital pilgrimage, exploring human and inhuman primitive roots by reactivating dismissed areas of our psyche. Domestic Violence project aims at exploring the distortion phenomena in sound and image and research on tangible electronic interfaces and new ways of producing interactive sound. Performance was presented at number of festivals and venues in Berlin, Rome, Helsinki, London, Manchester and Newcastle

Jared C. Balogh: I am a multi-media artist from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania U.S.A. I have two experimental audio projects: Trans Atlantic Rage and Balogh (Jared C. Balogh: pronounced Bay-log). Trans Atlantic Rage was established back in 1998 and Balogh was establish in July of 2010. The difference between each projects are that Trans Atlantic Rage is predicated on heavy processing, effect usage, and editing and Balogh is more organic which relies on intuitive first take creating, composing in notation, and minimal editing forms of music. I am also a part of other collaborative music projects. I express myself through my painting, sculptures, music videos, digital art, and photography. Also, I am involved in studio engineering, recording, mixing, producing and mastering, live sound set up and mixing, and live show lighting experience. I have put on a hand full of live shows in the mid to late 1990's and have run the net label Altered State Reflections. Please check out the many pages on this site – it goes far more in depth than this bio. I have tried to update and be as accurate as I can with all of the information of past releases and happenings. I hope you enjoy this site and return for future discoveries.

Kay Grant, Lol Coxhill and Olie Brice: Kay Grant - Voice / Lol Coxhill - Soprano Sax / Olie Brice - Double Bass / 'Rags and Bones' - 05:39 / This is an edit by Kay Grant of a live appearance on ResonanceFM, featuring her trio with saxophone legend Lol Coxhill and double bassist extraordinaire Olie Brice. The music was freely improvised, composed in the moment and without prior consideration. Kay Grant originally hails from New York, but has been a dedicated Londoner for nearly half her life. In this trio she continues her exploration of the singing voice as an instrumental component, with a free approach to jazz built up on a journey through opera, oratorio, rock, and pop. An "extraordinary vocal talent and one of London's finest, free-thinking virtuosos" (Time Out), she has worked with heavyweights on both sides of the Atlantic, including Hannah Marshall, John Russell, Veryan Weston, Mark Sanders, Steve Noble, John Edwards, Elliott Sharp, Shelley Hirsch and John Zorn. Her latest CD, Fast Talk, is a duo with clarinetist Alex Ward, and is out on Emanem. www.kaygrant.com / "Lol Coxhill is a musician who's touched on nearly every area of music over the past half century. In the '60s he jacked in his day job to accompany soul singers like Rufus Thomas. He'd sit in with bluesmen like Alexis Korner and Champion Jack Dupree. He was signed to John Peel's label Dandelion and played bebop with the likes of Bobby Wellins and Stan Tracey, prog rock with Steve Miller and Kevin Ayers, and dabbled in ska and rocksteady with Rico Rodriguez and Jazz Jamaica. In 1977 he even toured with the Damned. In the last decade I've seen him play with assorted avant jazzers, drone rockers and electronic mavericks. I've seen him busking near the Thames, and seen his old LPs selling for $100 in New York record shops. And I've also heard him playing beautiful, straight versions of standards.... A true national treasure and a top geezer." (John Lewis, Time Out) www.lolcoxhill.com / Olie Brice has made a definitive and deserved mark on the London jazz scene in recent years. He currently leads two of his own groups playing his own music, is a member of several collaborative projects and is increasingly in demand as a valued contributor to other people's groups. He has worked with Evan Parker, Paul Dunmall, Louis Moholo-Moholo, Ken Vandermark, Tony Marsh, Pat Thomas, Mulatu Astatke, Alan Wilkinson, Hannah Marshall, Steve Reid and Steve Swell, among many others. "Brice makes the entire body of his bass sing. He has the ability to deliver a fractal line that is as purposeful as any by the great jazz bassists, but to do so within an entirely abstract setting” (Brian Morton, Point of Departure). www.oliebrice.wordpress.com / The track is taken from a live session for the show Disorder At The Border hosted by Joseph Kassman-Tod and originally broadcast in Dec 2010 on radio station ResonanceFM.

LAu Focarazzo: UNCONVENTIONAL MEETING / About the video. "Unconventional Meeting" is a short video piece in collaboration with the Japonese sound artist, Takuya Minakawa. The highest level of abstraction and sounds invite us to be a witnesses on this beauty and aparently chaotic world. About me. Laura Focarazzo lives in Buenos Aires Argentina. She is a Graphic Designer graduated at the University of Buenos Aires and she also studied piano and musical harmonies. It wasn’t until the early Nineties that she started to study film directing.

Martha Moopette and Oblivian Substanshall: The Oblivian Substanshall album "Finnish....But Don't Wait Till You Stop" (chinstrapmusic.blogspot.com) comes with a new video from Chinstrap's resident film-wizard Martha Moopette, using elements of every track on "Finnish...." to create an intense, strange and hilarious film collage of death and digestion. Featuring Amie Willingale, Talulah Lotus, Autumn Poppy, and a range of dead animals from the streets and fields of Bridport
Mike Durek and Tumei Tejas: Michael Durek's sound collage made use digitally chopped up bits of his old songs, spliced with a reel to reel copy of an interview with composer Rudolf Friml. Those sounds were then electronically manipulated and interjected with the sounds of people having sex. Rudolf Friml can talk about his creation freely in any cultural setting, whereas the appearance of human sex sounds is surprising and would be unwelcome in many cultural settings. The juxtaposition sheds light on a sick cultural taboo. The more essential type of creation (sex) can only be described coolly and from afar when done in public arenas, whereas a composer talking about his work can be shown or heard anywhere. The video by Tumei Tejas includes visual equivalents to the sound collage which reflect the degree of discomfort in the discussion of sexuality. Scenes of domesticity, comfort and conformity coupled with technological intrusion and ghostly dancing figures bring awkwardness to this unsettling co-existence. The use of water signifies the essential aspects of sexual candor and natural processes which humans ignore at their peril. The body is represented as something to be shunned and sexuality is regarded as a perversion to be handled timidly

Oblivian Substanshall: Oblivian Substanshall often spends unhealthy amounts of time in a sedentary position, perched at his laptop computer busying himself by surfing the internet, sending emails and regularly recording absurd songs and the like. He also produces his own one man show called The Oblivian Substanshall Show for a community radio station based in South Devon called soundart radio. Oblivian Substanshall exists at the very fringes of musical acceptance. As skilled at crafting the perfect pop song as he is at mind blistering musique concrete, his show is not to be missed.

Boito of Parma and I specialised my composition skills with a Master degree in London. I won the international competition of electro acustic music organised by I.R,C,A,M in Paris. In my career I had the chance to be involved in various artistic situations: theatre, dance, visual and sound arts. At the beginning of my career I performed my first composition for Lenz Rifrazioni Lenz Theater (company of contemporary research among the most stringent in the European scene). I also collaborated with different experimental groups (post rock, post-industrial, punk, contemporary). My original music was presented in several Festivals, including Venice Biennale Dance / Music, Natura Dèi Teatri, Sguardi Sonori festival of Media, Timed Based Art , Berlin , Festival di Santarcangelo, Cantieri Danza, Zona Franca, Pontedera Teatri, As a Little Phenix 2.

It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.’ Jean Giraudoux / Leave your expectations at the gate for this garden walk-concert. You will not hear neat rows of petunias and daffodils. No, you will take windy paths, here, going quickly, there going slowly, now very prickly and fast, now very slowly and softly. Take a walk in the garden with these fellows and hear their concert. Maresuke Okamato often provides the ground and the stems with his contracello and double bass. Sometimes Paulo Chagas leads with his flute, and provides the stems too and petals, often cooly. Sometimes Matthias Boss leads with his, very frequent, witty use of the violin.

Radio Eris: Founded in 1999 by poet/guitarist Lora Bloom and keyboardist/bassist Matt Stevenson, Radio Eris features Dan “Redbeard” Baker on lead guitar, the mysterious Kenny on synthesizers and noise, and Brad Rothman on drums. They have released 6 albums of spoken word, ambient sounds, space rock and mind-bending noise, run out of gas on the A-4 in eastern France while on tour, purchased property, hung out with members of Hawkwind, and had any number of other adventures across the last decade. They operate out of Eris Temple Artspace, a diy art gallery, music studio and performance space situated in the thriving boil of West Philly’s underground music and arts scene. The delicate "Mortal" appears on their most recent album, At your Service (2012), and is a spoken-word piece set against a soaring yet sinister guitar vision written by Dan Baker. The poem "Mortal" was inspired by television and comic books and presents both a dark love story and moral question / Mortal - By Lora Bloom: I didn’t kill him when he asked me to I knew who he was and what he would become He looked into my eyes and said he was sorry for all that had been done I knew that he meant it He took one step forward pointed me towards his heart He said the world would be better without His life rested so delicately between my fingertips My eyes were open I knew what he was I knew what I had done And who I had become And I didn’t kill him When I had the chance
Radio Eris, Jon F. Allen and Witold Lutoslawski: From an interview with Radio Eris by Chim Mind filmmaker Jon Allen / To see Radio Eris perform is like entering another world. Multi-colored lights, and war paint erupt amidst passages of heavy guitar shredding, dark ambient noise, and electro-organ beatification culled from past saints of psychedelia. One feels as if alternately passing through transcendental and terrifying corridors of the mind from Lora’s haunting vocals—vocals that sometimes shift into staccato, Diamanda Galas inspired screams, augmented by transitions into her sci-fi poetry. When Lora asked me to create a music video for them, I jumped at the opportunity. How could I resist the song “Chip Mind” from their latest release At Your Service? I drew inspiration from conversations with the band, bad TV shows I never outgrew, and conspiracy books like Alex Constantine’s Psychic Dictatorship USA and Jim Keith’s Mind Control. We had a supremely fun “Chip Mind” screening at The Eris Temple with very positive reactions from all in attendance
Relentless: Enregistré en juillet 2009 pendant une résidence sur le paysage sonore à CESTA, dans un atelier de métallurgie, Cerní Remeslníci (Tábor, République Tchèque), pendant que deux ouvriers, Ladislav svárec Procházka et Karel bruska Sychra, travaillent, comme à leur habitude. La pièce qui en est issue, est un témoin d’une vingtaine de minutes de notre présence dans ce lieu. Remerciements: Hilary Binder, Christopher Rankin, Georges Cremaschi, Ladislav svárec Procházka et Karel bruska Sychra. Relentless: Suite à une collaboration dans le collectif d’improvisation In Sit-U depuis 2003, les deux saxophonistes Artur Vidal et Sébastien Branche ont souhaité explorer les différents types de relations pouvant avoir lieu entre leurs recherches sonores et d'autres pratiques de création ayant recours à l'improvisation. /Relentless/ constitue en quelque sorte la sédimentation sonore d'une suite d'investigations, menées au cours de ces dernières années, autour de la danse et de l'image dans leurs rapports à la musique improvisée. Notes tenues, respiration continue, sons multiples, accessoires, sont autant d’éléments récurrents à chaque fois mis en jeu dans une dialectique entre un idiome qui se crée à force de pratique, et la nécessité d’un geste improvisé pour une musique qui veut prendre en compte chaque son et chaque instant dans son écriture. Recorded in July 09, during a residency on soundscape at CESTA (www.cesta.cz), in a metal workshop, Cerní Remeslníci (Tábor, Czech Republic), while two workers Ladislav svárec Procházka and Karel bruska Sychra, are at work as usual. The piece that comes from it is a 20 minutes testimony of our presence there. We would like to thank Hilary Binder, Christopher Rankin, Georges Cremaschi, Ladislav svárec Procházka and Karel bruska Sychra. Relentless: Following a collaboration in the multidisciplinary improvisation-collective In Sit-U in 2003, the two saxophone players Artur Vidal and Sébastien Branche decided to examine together the different relations that could be found between the way they play music and the other forms of expressions involving instant-composition. For the past few years, they have been looking into the relations between dancing, video and improvised music. /Relentless/ is, in a way, the sound layer that settled through these investigations. Long tones, circular breathing, multiphonics, objects, are some recurring elements always renewed in a dialog between an idiom that settles through practice, and the necessity to improvise to create a music that takes into account each sound and each instant in its composition.

Trans Atlantic Rage: I am a multi-media artist from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania U.S.A. I have two experimental audio projects: Trans Atlantic Rage and Balogh (Jared C. Balogh: pronounced Bay-log). Trans Atlantic Rage was established back in 1998 and Balogh was establish in July of 2010. The difference between each projects are that Trans Atlantic Rage is predicated on heavy processing, effect usage, and editing and Balogh is more organic which relies on intuitive first take creating, composing in notation, and minimal editing forms of music. I am also a part of other collaborative music projects. I express myself through my painting, sculptures, music videos, digital art, and photography. Also, I am involved in studio engineering, recording, mixing, producing and mastering, live sound set up and mixing, and live show lighting experience. I have put on a hand full of live shows in the mid to late 1990's and have run the net label Altered State Reflections. Please check out the many pages on this site – it goes far more in depth than this bio. I have tried to update and be as accurate as I can with all of the information of past releases and happenings. I hope you enjoy this site and return for future discoveries.

undRess Béton: Born as possible extraordinary bizarre eccentric appearance, as well the world as living, we think of ‘wasn’t’ a truth anymore. Parodic, there it was him barking to skies of her pain.
Aligns mortality compelling in the sense they are, a dramatic coast case of wealthy discipline.
How important is to understand this place, her landscape only and his desire expelling hard believes trenched anxious childhoods. Unsettling like emerged distance figures of terrible loss of violent shyness discovering 1924 moves being hammered beyond her thighs. The conscious haunted pouring out together death and sex liberating obsessions from the unborn visions critical methods
paying dues to the couch pacified illusion through her syrup passing his dwelling desert, emphasizing the question the whore around us was him calling her name as his believe, it was to show. -undRess Béton

Vurt : like i imagine most experimental producers and artists i started out in music learning more traditional aspects of theory and playing, but years of being put down for making incorrect choices from teachers and friends alike i realised that i wanted something that at the time i didnt actually think was out there. growing up in a small town meant that i had no real exposure to anything beyond regular music except the odd track on john peel i guess. i spent most of my youth riffing on guitar in metal and rock bands, never truely happy and often finding my ideas where ignored, it wasnt until i moved to a big city and started to go it alone that i found happiness in the sounds i was creating. still using guitar but letting the FX do a lot more than previous experience had allowed me.the introduction of the internet and software instruments gave me both an audience and a new arsenal of sounds, over the years creating soundscapes with soft synths and FX to play guitar over, i finally got not only the freedom i had longed for but also the confidence to go further and try out more of the ideas i had years before. im now at a point where i enjoy what im doing, the process as well as the outcome, i can often get lost for hours at a time just trying out changes, just letting the sounds wash over me and not worrying so much about other peoples reactions to the output. these days i use anything and everything that makes a sound or processes the sound, this track here is radios, filters and FX. tweaking both the radio tuning and the FX, as and when it felt right, allowing the track to build as i recorded. the only post processing was a little compression to even out the volume / http://www.viablehybrid.com/vh/artists/vurt/index.html
Weinberger: i am johannes weinberger. i like thunderstorms and pastry, and although i stopped panicking, i am constantly losing weight. some day i'll be gone. apart from my corpse, my music and books will remain for a little while, if you can find them. i believe in the unadulterated freedom of choice for every individual. good night
Zilmrah: You Are Only Alive Defiled By Happiness / Lawry Romani: 18 String Guitarwheel, Eurorack Modular, Phonogene, Voices, Effects / Happiness is the last illusion to escape you only to be followed by the magnificent swell of the long dark eternity to follow. It will ravage you throughout a lifetime of dreams or connected moments of an individual’s reality and manifest itself most profoundly during the most difficult moments of that very same lifetime
Zreen Toyz: With the project Zreen Toyz, the French artist JLHB (born in 1954) likes pushing aside the notion of composer or musician and often presents himself as Sounds Sculptor. After few years in classical training on piano and percussions, he does not appreciate the stifling conformity of the academy and turns to the improvised musics. The continuation of its training is essentially self-taught. He crosses composers as Luc Ferrari and Ilhan Mimaroglu, but his meetings with Herman Poole Blount, more known under the name of Sun Ra, and the improvised electronic musics, in particular that of Tangerine Dream (period 1970-1975) and that of Conrad Schnitzler (he meets him in Berlin in 1973), are really determining for his sound experiments. Since his first pieces created in 1970, he works the sound material following inspiration of the moment, a raw and instinctive approach by stratification where any imperfection or sound incident become a harshness on which to hang on atmospheres or reflections. In this way, he creates impalpable and timeless landscapes where vibrations, noises, and collages erase the structure of the piece. His music is often used for artistic exhibitions, sometimes for contemporary choreographies and documentary movies / http://arcanewaves.blogspot.fr/
