She lives in West Philadelphia / Fighting the Creep, text by Bonnie MacAllister, music by Bonnie MacAllister / Fighting the Creep He searches for wires in the shrubs, He’d let them grow twenty feet tall To avoid the surveillance. Is there a microphone in pots? A transmitter behind gate? Or only malaria in tubs? He’d heard about how in Texas The government stalked an activist. Crowed at him from perches, Cooed at him like magpies, Scratched out his eyes, Blotted out his lips. So he built his own compound Of vine and soot, Grafted trees from roots, Let the bamboo take over, It builds a log cabin with each season. He fashions himself in topiary. Should the root sit too deep, It carves out in millipede shaped shreds, Sheds a skin, brown on bronze, Leaves an imprint in the rust, Takes fingerprints in fossils. He carves out the indentations.

Bunfly: Spent more years than I can remember playing bass guitar with psychedelic post punk rock band Poisoned Electrick Head. Hazy days indeed!! Spent the last 10yrs trying to recover!! The time is now right to continue my audio adventure and I'll be more than happy for you (if you so choose) to tag along. This piece is excerpt of a 45m 53s composition based around insects. It centres around a poem by Rachel Bond. Music: http://soundcloud.com/bunfly Video: http://vimeo.com/bunfly Facebook: Under the name Bunfly

Cagey House: My UFO Abduction / I was taken back when things were in black and white. It was on a summer's afternoon, under an iron grey sky. I didn't see the ship, or even hear it. The beam just hit me and I flew up into the air. I was ten feet off the ground before I could blink. And the beam tickled. Really tickled, really hard, like when somebody is tickling you and won't stop. I was laughing and then screaming, because I was convulsing all around and I thought I would jerk myself out of the beam and fall. I was really upset, and I was crying when I landed in the ship. The aliens saw this, and they were pretty cool--small wrinkled grey things, looking at me out of big black eyes. One had this nasty looking probe in his hand--like a can opener, but much bigger, and he just kind of slowly pulled it behind his back and put it down. They motioned me to this circular couch thing and I sat down, and they all took chairs around me. I was still all sniffly from crying, and pretty embarrassed. One of them asked how old I was, and I answered. One asked me how I liked school, and I said, "It's okay." Then another asked me what my favorite subject was, and I said, "Lunch," and they all laughed. Then one asked me if I had any pets, and I said that yea, I had a dog; and another asked me what it's name was and I said, "Michael," and they thought that was funny, too. The third one asked me if I got an allowance, and I told him that I got seventy-five cents a week. He said that that was pretty good, and that my parents were generous. Then one of them asked me if I had any questions for them, and I asked what planet they were from. He said they were from a place very far away, and that they had left a very long time ago. So long ago, in fact, that people from their planet whose grandparents weren't even born when they left were now out in space in fancy new spaceships. He said that they met these guys sometimes and could hardly recognize them as being from the same planet. I said that was sad, and he said that's the way things go when you go so far. Then he said that it was time for me to leave, "because it was a school night." I waved, and then I felt the beam again, but it didn't tickle going down. It felt warm, like a nice blanket. It was night outside, even thought it didn't seem like I had been there that long, and the ship was a lot higher in the sky. As I drifted down, I could see the stars really close. It was like I could touch them. Really touch them, not just say I could touch them. And it was like the sky was black paper, and the stars were just holes with lights shining through. And, really, I could have put my actual finger into one of the holes, but I didn't because I was afraid of tearing the sky. When I hit the ground I was all sleepy from the beam, and I laid right down on the grass. That's where the Sheriff found me the next morning. Man, did I get in trouble.

Carlos Ramirez: Carlos Ramirez project was created with many passages of life in time memory projections embodied in sound's, creating a vision beyond the past to confront the present and be connected to a near future.....through forgotten sounds.

His works have been released on various net labels such as Just Not Normal; Electronic Musik; Misspelled Records; Kandala Records; and Earth Monkey to name a few. He frequently post new tracks on Framing Sounds his blog. His mini DV images and super 8 films deal primarily with urban and rural landscapes.

Cloud Cloud: Cloud Cloud is the moniker taken on by Michael Durek– multi-instrumentalist and music-maker. Though based in NYC, Durek has showcased his theremin and music-making skills in six countries, and plays with or has shared the stage with PAS, The Sk Orchestra, Vultures Quartet, Philippe Petit (BiP_Hop), Valerie Kuehne, Pascal Hector of DataShock, and Rachel Mason. He has performed at Faust’s Avante Garde Festival 2010 as well as CocArt festival Torun, Poland in 2010 both with PAS, and Kunstzwerg festival in Zweibrucken Germany with his group, the SK Orchestra in 2011. In 2010 he won an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Art to tour Europe. The new Cloud Cloud music is electronic and pulsitile, but free and makes use of sounds, new sounds, that Durek concocts in his studio – making use of different synthesizers, field recordings, and by endlessly playing around with chopping, slicing, attacking, and using different filters and recording techniques. On stage, Durek has a powerful energy and is adept at doing a lot with a little. Performances include found objects, theremin, new and old synths, and samples.

Clutter: Clutter - Ending Tears (5:51) / Clutter is the solo musical project of Shaun Blezard. Working in the fields of electro-acoustic improvisation, ambient, music concrete and many things between, Clutter has toured extensively and released music with Sonic Oyster Records, Apollolaan, Earth Monkey Productions, Electronic Musik, Clinical Archives and many others. The current Clutter set up includes laptop, iPhone, Korg Monotron, Mintendo DS, Bass guitar and host of effects pedals, used in different combinations. ‘A kind of dark, swirling chamber kosmiche/ambient tangent, Clutter has created something organic & cerebral from contributed noises & sounds which he has re-arranged & processed to create something quite wonderful. I don’t   particularly want to rattle on too much about this as the music is of a rich, fascinating quality, ‘Live at the Bombed Out Church‘ takes you right off on a dream-like astral plain. Does this church exist? If so, I want to go.’ 5/5 Norman Records / Ending Tears is an improvisation using iPhone and bass with fx. Rather than making loops I’ve been working with long delays with long feedback settings to create evolving atmospheres and giving me something to improvise to. http://shaunblezard.net http://clutter.bandcamp.com/

Daniel Thompson and Matt Chilton: Figs and Pomegranates by Daniel Thompson and Matt Chilton

Matt Chilton (aka Astromertia - http://astrometria.co.uk) and Daniel Thompson started playing and performing together in the spring of 2011. They decided to explore the realms of electro-acoustic music as a duo with Thompson playing acoustic guitar and occasional percussion and Chilton using computer based realtime processing of the acoustic sounds using PureData. This piece was recorded live in Chilton's home studio in November 2011. Their music is free improvisation and they let the music take them where it wants to go.

EHEIM 1000.220: Track name: imitation_04 . l'escalade du mont ventoux / Artist: eheim 1000.220 (trumpet by Julian Ducati). When I made this little track I was thinking of all the common myths of capitalism and market liberalism. And I was thinking of Tom Simpson, who died in 1967 during the Tour de France, just because he believed that an eycatching performace while climbing the steep hills of Mont Ventoux with his bike would bring him the desired and badly needed contract with sponsors for the coming year.

Elizabeth Veldon: I'm a Noise Artist working primarily with found sounds, loops, samples, feedback tones and sine waves. Ahmad Zahir was a 1970's Afghan singer who was killed for being critical of the country's communist government. The track uses a sample of Mahwash singing 'Garkonad Saheb-e-Man'

GX Jupitter-Larsen: GX Jupitter-Larsen is based in Hollywood, California. During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work stems from being the founder and only constant member of the noise act The Haters. The current performance being staged by The Haters is a piece entitled "Loud Luggage / Booming Baggage" in which amplified suitcases burst, crackle, and explode with sound. Underlying much of Jupitter-Larsen's work is a self-created lexicon consisting mainly of personalized units of measurement such as the polywave, the totimorphous, and the xylowave. The Loud Luggage performance is a sonic reference to the xylowave which GX Jupitter-Larsen defines as the distance between nothing and something.

Jeff Gburek with Chester Szmiada: "The Watermark" began in August 2011, intended to integrate my melodically oriented acoustic music with my electro-acoustic and digital sound art. The complete cd was finished only a week ago and includes 7 tracks and 3 collaborations. This piece is a departure from the bulk of "The Watermark" only in that I took up the Jupiter bass recorder as the device for articulating melodies. Vocals by Chester Szmiada, an old friend, collaborated by sending me a voice to use over time. If you are interested in a limited edition copy of "The Watermark" with original hand-painted covers, please contact me. jeff.gburek@gmail.com Personal website: www.futurevessel.com/orphansound and also find Jeff Gburek on Soundcloud.

Jo Pearson and John Hyatt: What she heard on the radio Firstly it seemed quite logical Boring figures and facts About all things meteorlogical She could never have forecast The things that she heard next Apparently nearby In some other universe Where stuff sometimes happened Upside down and in reverse The Wind and the Sun had been fighting It had been A 40 days and 40 nights thing About Some sort of supply and demand thing The Wind he would blow profusely Then the Sun would shine intensely It seemed to be neverending With no chance of it ever resolvingThough it was a sight to behold The wind's heavy breathing The sun's mouth melting But If the truth be told It was getting pretty boring Nevertheless they stopped the show When in the distance down below They saw approach an Ordinary Joe Kitted out in his Sunday Best On closer inspection the traveller wore A golden crown and jewels on his chest ‘Perhaps now we can put this to rest’ Said the Wind to the Sun ‘Move over and I’ll show you how it's done’ I’ll blow off that Little Prince’s clothes Down to his right royal bones’ The Sun now smiled quite benignly And watched with feigned interest As the Wind prepared to have fun The Wind blew ‘til he was blue in the face The clouds were in a mess And as they raced across the sky Our Noble Traveller cursed and cried And became quite distressed And as he thought he had met his fate He wrapped himself even more tightly In his glistening cape When the Sun then rose to the challenge to derobe The Majestic Traveller The earth became as hot as lava
And the king began to sweat Under the weight Of his cloak and his corona He grew red and threw them off And quickly ran for cover Into a forest Where he found a river Into which he jumped And was gone forever

Jurica Jelic: A contemporary composer and fretless guitarist from Croatia, who represents his work in a form of instrumental, electroacoustic, electronic music and sound art.

One True Dog: Imagine Waking Up is track 7 from One True Dog’s CDR album Walkies. One True Dog are based in S. E. London. Band members are Pete Karkut - Laptop and Percussion, Stephen Elwell - Bass and Zolan Quobble - Voice / IMAGINE WAKING UP: Imagine waking up in the beginning, in the blindness of sleep broken by mumbling premonitions of sentences with real verbs and objects utterly other than the subject of dreams, objects marked with names, which are variations of the noise of breaking skin, the froth released in a pianissimo, sweet, sibilant serpent hiss of language juice, a voice speck in a mask of earth and sky, drowned in background, the applause of birds scattering, branch shaking monkeys, wind rubbing trees, roaring waterfalls, thunder, rain and earthquake, deluged. Now spelling, as if naming was the thing itself, as if there was no context, as if language, despite the untidiness of its rules and the frayed spittle drapery of its bastard music, was the only sound a god could make. In the beginning is a catch-all universe between sphincters, a worm becoming rigid with bone and nerve to carry electric punctuation to break the sound wave into ego digestible portions for proud humans, who imagine controlling the vastness with a dictionary, deaf to the gape of the dumb, stupid animals that swallow more oxygen before plunging down into the wordless oyster bed to come up with exceptions, pearls of exceptions in unexceptional places caught in an aphrodisiac trick of the light that was never prophesied, unless words were planted as flags and not prisons. In the beginning hidden behind lips that edge a cave waits a dark diving board for breath compressed to do a back two and a half somersault with two and a half twists and a pike off to go hunting meaning. In the beginning is a hush like crow wings on a moonless night holding a body pregnant with an egg joke being eaten by an alphabet waiting for the cloaca of shadow trimmed with coal feathers. © Zolan Quobble

Paddy Steer: Paddy is a Zelig-like character along the timeline of Manchester’s musical activity. It’s a testament to his musicality that he has played with such a wide range of music and artists over the years, be it as a bass player, drummer, Hawaiian guitarist etc. or all these roles at the same time. His own Homelife project released five albums in recent years, Homelife's sound was intricate but with a warm sense of wonder, a balance of songs and instrumentals. Many musicians contributed to the Homelife project, brewed slowly by Paddy in his attic before being taken out as a small orchestra for some very unique concerts. Paddy’s attic studio is like the magic workshop – not only does he make music in there, but he also makes instruments, mends junk, films animations and constructs robots.
Never one to blow his own trumpet, Paddy quietly gets on with developing his craft. There is something of the fairy-tale cobbler working late into the night in order to make the finest shoes in the kingdom, or maybe the musical elves strike up while he's in bed. It’s a sometime cartoon-like music dense with events, new textures and the colours of children’s paintings, sounds like a Swiss cuckoo clock made of egg boxes and horsehair, glued together by an African Moog player in a Vietnamese iron monger's shop.

Painburn: Painburn is a harsh noise and Noise-BreaKBeat performer.Noisesplatter is the name of the album and the kind of performance too.In Fact he trys to create Soundsplatter ,serial killer and nichilist atmopshperes using real groovebox and analogue synth.Noisesplatter album is made after the publication of Painburn's Book “Against all”write in only Italian version(in italian language is:”Contro Tutto breve saggio paranoico sugli ideali come condizionamento sociale).The book talks about the death of ideoligies,so the noise and disharmony is a direct consequence of this death.Italy is the country of serial crimes,politically corrupt, Freemasonry diverted,all these elements have create Painburn and his album and performance Noisesplatter.

PAS: We can fix the world if people studied the patterns in history. The sad thing is that the ones with the money are distracting the majority from reading books.

Pete Karkut: Left by itself the flatscreen will find a home And as the decades pass will spawn another to take its place. The buddleia needs the bee to reproduce The bee has the harmony of the hive. That's not to say I want to be a bee. Nor do I want a flat screen to take the place of my hearth and feed me The pathetic glamour of new trainers and computer games. The only killing I want to do is The advertising executive, The pissed up, Coked up, cynical, Spiritually bankrupt, Maker of nothing but debt. And that's the way it's always been So you think, So you think thats the harmony of the hive. One more summer.

Qkcfose: Deep Ones Disco' is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Deep Ones--humanoid aquatic creatures who can live both at sea and on land. The sounds represent a convulsive symbolic transformation into a gill-breathing creature who is unable to change without a traumatic release from the limits of the human physical form

Richard Knight and Noise Research: Richard Knight’s unique method uses mixing desks as sound sources: a typically passive audio device subverted to become an expressive instrument. His pulsing, crisp-white, and starkly beautiful music is derived from the tenuous area between feedback and feedforward – the hazy and perplexing cusp between order and chaos. His uniquely purist approach is combined with minimal post-recording adjustments, making the final product all the more astonishing. His new LP for Concrete Moniker is something very original indeed, a warm and welcoming introduction to all interested in Richard’s unique world, as well as a must for fans of Alva Noto, Ryoji Ikeda and the other output by the pioneering Raster Noton label. Richard co-curates the bi-monthly Manchester based electroacoustic/improvisation evening, ‘Electronic Organica‘ and also produces avant-house music under various aliases including ‘JERK’ and Underbaud’. Other no-input mixer related projects include ‘Closed Circuit’, techno music made solely with mixing desks; ‘Partial Trust’, a performance-based collaboration with Abigail Sanders (French Horn) and an eponymous live orientated collaboration with Rodrigo Constanzo. Noise Research has material released on the Electronic Musik (UK), Rift Recordings (UK), Classwar Karaoke (UK), Earth Monkey Productions (UK), A.M.P (S. America), aReW (UK), Rec72 (Germany), Clinical Archives (Russia), Found in a Skip (UK), Kulturterrorismus (Germany), iFar (UK) and Bivouac (China) labels. He has adopted an uncompromising approach in both playing and performance which has led to his involvement as a performer with ‘The Frakture Big Band’ (Liverpool), Noise Club (Liverpool), Janx: The Gathering (Wirral), ‘Gnod’ (Manchester) Aht-N (Cumbria) & ‘Fonik’ (Warrington). He also actively organises and promotes performances in UK including the Pyramid Experimental Music Festival and Manchester based Electronic Organica Nights. One of his most recent projects is a collaboration with sound artist Graham Dunning, the results of which have been released by Clinical Archives in January 2010.

Ronny Wærnes: As millions of dollars change hands to exchange art (or no art), it is forced upon me to exchange art (or no art) to as many hands as possible. My wall will rather stay undecorated by artists, but filled with sounds of lovliness and voices of my children playing, and save the millions for the millions who has no wall at all, at all.

Seesar and Sonic Pleasure: The recording of Seesar and Sonic Pleasure as a duet in Oct 2008 came about as somewhat of an accident, but a welcome one. The session was intended to be a trio session with another musician whom had performed the night before at Hugh Metcalfe's Klinker. Following the show, the musician left his equipment at the club and was not able to retrieve it for our session the next day. Thus this incredible duet experience was manifested. I was taken aback by Sonic Pleasure's wide palette and tasteful interjection of sounds. Her forte was utilizing what would normally be considered harsh sounds in delicate situations and reversing expectations that made softer sounds seem rough and out of place when dynamics shifted unexpectedly throughout the performance. Embracing Futurist mentalities afforded both of us the noises and tones with which we could interact on an intimate level and in an energetic fashion to generate this track and many others to our great satisfaction. Working with Sonic Pleasure was amazing and I eagerly look forward to creating more music with her in the future! Motorcycle Repair Crash was recorded at the Tower of Music, Oct 2008 by Scott Robinson. Sonic Pleasure performed on bricks, bathroom tile, roofing tile, and rocks with files, drills, rebar, and screw drivers. Seesar used bowed cymbals, sheet metal, pot lids, a wok lid, chains, springs, found objects, and one convention drum. Seesar, London, Nov 2011.

Stormhat: Stormhat is the moniker of the dane Peter Bach Nicolaisen, visual artist and composer. So far he has released seven cd's and some works digitally on different labels. His sounds are taken from mostly slightly processed and filtered fieldrecordings with added primitive instrument-sounds. He wants the listener to feel immersed in his sounds which from time to time can be rather noisy and disharmonious. His work could maybe be categorized as electro-acoustic, psychedelic dark newage. He is interested in space, texture and tactility in sound and see his sound as a drug. Not always pleasant but sometimes worthwhile the effort. contactinfo www.stormhat.dk

Captain Comedown: Time is running out... all books and photographs will eventually be burnt for fuel. Does this explain the constant self documentation? Why so inclined to immortalise all environments, situations? This ritual obsession, consummation. Validity is dead and we are bloated; accept and disseminate so much each day, never fully digesting. As our relationship becomes more familiar, how will our understanding and reaction change? Now that we interface so seamlessly, will we contract its viruses? And what an awful truth it is emerged from a storm… the underscore to nine dark months spent treading black waters; our destitute captain, certain only of impending doom and the death of all creation. These haunting soundscapes are scorched onto walls of inner imprisonment but a glimmer of hope resound here within. You will find the recordings and more information at captaincomedown.com

Igor's Roomy Lab Coat: Jeremiah had suffered the ravages and bitter blessings of melancholic consumption for lo these many years and yet this latest incident of his beguiling malaise was of consequence especial and weighty. In a pique of the black manic, so regular an attendant in the very early morning, he burned bridges and steeling himself drank of a concoction self prepared. With remarakble efficacy his symptoms of emotional estrangement and isolation were banished. His horror upon discovering a frank and total lack of discomfort in relation to his fellows was great; the psyche he still recalled was no longer available to him, denied the bitter rewards of wistful melancholia with it's topical systems of vapours and ague, he set forth from the family estate, to tend, for his remaining days, the inmates of a shelter and retreat for emotionally distressed and disadvantaged trumpets, harmoniums and sundry items of brass

Jaap Blonk: Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Holland) is a self-taught composer, performer and poet. He went to university for mathematics and musicology but did not finish those studies. In the late 1970s he took up saxophone and started to compose music. A few years later he discovered his potential as a vocal performer, at first in reciting poetry and later on in improvisations and his own compositions. For almost two decades the voice was his main means for the discovery and development of new sounds. From around the year 2000 on Blonk started work with electronics, at first using samples of his own voice, then extending the field to include pure sound synthesis as well. He took a year off of performing in 2006. As a result, his renewed interest in mathematics made him start a research of the possibilities of algorithmic composition for the creation of music, visual animation and poetry. As a vocalist, Jaap Blonk is unique for his powerful stage presence and almost childlike freedom in improvisation, combined with a keen grasp of structure. He performed in many European countries, as well as in the U.S. and Canada, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa and Latin America. With the use of live electronics the scope and range of his concerts has acquired a considerable extension. Besides working as a soloist, he collaborated with many musicians and ensembles in the field of contemporary and improvised music, like Maja Ratkje, Mats Gustafsson, Nicolas Collins, Joan La Barbara, The Ex, the Netherlands Wind Ensemble and the Ebony Band. He premiered several compositions by the German composer Carola Bauckholt, including a piece for voice and orchestra. A solo voice piece was commissioned by the Donaueschinger Musiktage 2002. On several occasions he collaborated with visual computer artist Golan Levin. Blonk's work for radio and television includes several commissioned radio plays. He also makes larger-scale drawings of his scores, which are being exhibited. He was the founder and leader of the long-standing bands Splinks (modern jazz, 1983-1999) and BRAAXTAAL (avant-rock, 1987-2005). He also has his own record label, Kontrans, featuring a total of 15 releases so far. Other Blonk recordings appeared on Staalplaat, Basta and VICTO

Murmurists: a soft end, or an embrace? a just violence, or forever via fantasy? this is propaganda, but hyper-real, without transgression, sensible only to a brand of dishonour, lethal in its justifications of its own debatable success. the possession of babylon, if it is even that, merely sequences an angry parade of meaningless symbols, with aspiration as a means in and of itself. around this sickbed is assembled the frames of an insurrection. no-one must ever move, understand? / made by anthony donovan, cafe abdab, city of dis, falkland islands, 2011

Ross Ackermann: Take the boat up the mangrove inlet to the Rangaunu Harbour, New Zealand. Tranquillity shattered by the scream of an outboard motor can not erase the serenity of this location. A place where time stands still, reflecting on what was, and what will be. Feeling like a cork bobbing perilously on the alive, ever powerful, ocean. The source of life, itself. Unwinding and understanding my small presence in this universe / I am an artist/musician living in Northland, New Zealand. Art and music have been a life long fascination in which I indulge actively and passively. Interaction with others in these endeavours has been a recent development; one of which, has brought me abundant pleasure

Sound Inhaler: I hate fast cars 2 / I live in Birmingham, once Britain’s own motor town. I’ve always hated cars and particularly car culture and boy racers.

The trip to the local newsy. For my copy of two thousand ad and assorted good time sweeties. A caramac maybe or a nutty bar for instance. Walking back later was always the best part, anticipating the read excitement at its sweetest. Getting back and preparing everything. A drink of lemmo maybe, taking everything. Upstairs. Where you could read it alone, get right into it. Aware of the way it would pass so quickly. Wanting to make it more. All these ideas and sensations, these innocent sounding. Presentations. In my mind now. Not exactly tainted but carrying the sheen of addiction upon. Ritual. Habit. Isolation. Delayed gratification, intensification. A transcending joy. A longing for what has gone. Leaving and losing the everyday for a little while. I believe this to be untrue but i resent my mind its implication and suggestion. What i feel to be its. Misrepresentation. A kid with imagination, enjoying a fleeting hour or so of a special happiness. Thats fucking precious, its not fucking penance. Believe as you may. Life has more up its cavernous sleeve, to stick you with. But still this twist it hurts. Leaking seldom over the years but leaking now. Feeling guilty cause its just for me after all. Not for the folks that deserve all this. More importantly for the people i miss. Take the time to smell the roses. The fragrance it cant be bought later. Gone. Missing now. Remembered imperfectly. Wished for fervently. Live right now and project the how. The fear of dark and lonely water. Protect and survive. Do not build the dread. Make the bed, fit to sleep in. For fucks sake, fit to dream in

Stormhat: Stormhat is the moniker of the dane Peter Bach Nicolaisen, visual artist and composer. So far he has released seven cd's and some works digitally on different labels. His sounds are taken from mostly slightly processed and filtered fieldrecordings with added primitive instrument-sounds. He wants the listener to feel immersed in his sounds which from time to time can be rather noisy and disharmonious. His work could maybe be categorized as electro-acoustic, psychedelic dark newage. He is interested in space, texture and tactility in sound and see his sound as a drug. Not always pleasant but sometimes worthwhile the effort. contactinfo www.stormhat.dk

Vultures Quartet: Vultures Quartet is an improvising and new music group based in London, England; consisting of core members Matt Chilton, Will Connor and Anthony Donovan; whose revolving fourth member policy has led to live collaborations with the likes of Steve Beresford, Damo Suzuki, Ernesto Tomasini, Sandeep Mishra and Jo Quail. The group mixes electro-acoustic, dark ambient, free jazz and industrial, utilising conventional instruments played unconventionally, open-source software, found objects and homemade instruments and electronics. Beginning as mainstays of the London improv scene in late 2008, Vultures Quartet has by now performed across Britain, America and Europe, supporting the likes of Fred Frith, Faust, Nurse With Wound, John Butcher, Adam Bohman, Furt, Phil Waschmann and Seb Roachford, with releases on SubRosa and Born in Mind, and forthcoming with Tzadik and Somber Soniks, plus appearances on numerous compilations. / For this piece, MC: laptop, puredata, torches, webcam, mics / WC: percussion, bicycle, objects, winds, voice / AD: acoustic bass, zither, electronics, objects, voice, mics.

Zilmrah: Various sounds lay dormant, fixed and slowly descending through a repressed contemplative silence into a filtered hue of hyper extended mixed and routed signals, of degenerative decaying reverb cycles shimmering through stained glass prisms of refracting audible hallucinations. Restrained nihilism permeates a dense cloud of irony. This peculiar catalyst can be used to spark inner focus where necessary since all external sources disrupt the natural order of its real meaning and subjugate the harmony that holds balance between an implosion of mans heavily guarded heart or an explosion in his porous and infiltrated mind. There will be bliss as he crosses either threshold, even if its just a momentary release from what weighs in his thoughts

Zreen Toyz: Liking pushing aside the notion of composer or musician, the French artist Zreen Toyz (born in 1954) often presents himself as Sound Sculptor or Sound Poet. After few years in classic 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. http://soundcloud.com/zreentoyz

Anthony Donovan and Clive Graham: AD: admachine, laptop, electronics, mic / CG: tape, electronics, mic. Recorded live and improvised in London, England 29th April 2011.

Astrometria: Matt Chilton uses laptop, webcam, torches and various microphones and junk. Chilton principally employs PureData, SuperCollider, and ChucK to create patches that can be played in realtime. It is something of an obsession of his that he does not use any preprepared sounds or samples when playing with Vultures Quartet; meaning that all of his sounds made for recordings and live performances are improvised in realtime. 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 effects. Generally Chilton samples percussion, as it offers a far wider and 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. In addition he will often find site specific materials and objects to create ad hoc instruments on the day of the performance that he can use to sample and play live. Chilton started learning classical piano at the age of nine; going on to complete a fine art degree at the University of Oxford and worked as an artist for several years - exhibiting around Europe. More recently, he spent twelve years at the world's most lucrative photogaphy provider culminating in five years as a professional Java and Perl programmer (as well as using C, C++, Objective C, Python and php - and parts of Solaris and Linux you may have imagined but hadn't realised existed). All of these things inform his practice as it is today, ie, a mix of technology and art, or, to put it more precisely: he has a lot of fun playing with the seeming juxtaposition of these two apparently diametrically opposed subjects. 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. More 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. He also works with Seth Guy of London Concrete and The SARS Virus - a new idea in Open Source Music / Audio.

Bob Ostertag, Fred Frith and Phil Minton: [From Bob Ostertag's liner-notes]: '...It was the beginning of the 1980's and from my apartment on the Lower East Side of NYC, the world seemed to be going crazy. Ronald Reagan was being sworn in as President of the United States, something that no longer shocks us now but at the time was nearly unthinkable. The hostages who had been held in the US Embassy in Tehran were coming home to a tumultuous welcome that would unleash a malignant wave of patriotism to sustain the country through the wars of the coming decade: El Salvador, Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, and more. I had just returned from my first trip to Nicaragua, and was experiencing severe readjustment trauma. I turned on the TV and started taping. All you got that week-end was Reagan's inauguration, the hostages' return, game shows, and American football's Superbowl, a once-a-year extravaganza showcasing everything that is macho and ugly in the culture. Fred Frith had just come to NYC and I had a concert with him that night. Without discussing it with Fred, I took my TV tapes, as well as others I had brought back from Central America, and played them through my synthesizer during the gig. The result was Voice of America Part 1. I was happy enough with the results that I worked on developing my cassette set-up further. This was before the days of samplers, or even affordable digital delays. I assembled a series of cheap cassette recorders, each modified to malfunction in a particular way. I also had a stack of looped cassettes of various lengths from telephone answering machines which I used to do live "sampling", then manipulated by playing them back on the screwed-up tape decks. A few months later Fred and I were in London for a concert. Moments before going on, my synthesizer was destroyed in a technical mishap. I was left with my cassette set-up and a contact mic I either kept between my teeth or used to amplify various toys. Fred had brought only a piece of wood with a few screws at either end and guitar strings strung between them. With my synthesizer still smoking, we hastily recruited Phil Minton out of his seat in the audience and without any time for discussion began the set that became Voice of America Part 2. That was my last concert for nearly a decade. I left music entirely and became a full-time writer and organizer around Central American issues. Fred settled in NYC and began an extremely fertile ten-year interaction with the music scene there. As the 1980s wore on, rappers and others developed a whole new form of music out of sampled fragments of politically charged media clips. But this was before that. It was the beginning of the 1980's and from my apartment on the Lower East Side of NYC, the world seemed to be going crazy...'.

Eye Lit: Bonnie MacAllister, 339 N. State Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, United States of America / 215.262.9227 / macallister.bonnie@gmail.com / Bonnie MacAllister is active with the Women's Caucus for Art, Green Light Arts, and the Plastic Club. She is a Fulbright-Hays recipient (Ethiopia) and a Pushcart nominee. A playwright, she is the author of She Should Have Written It: A Story of Bohemian Surveillance (Shubin Theatre) and Crowning the May Queen (Philadelphia Fringe Festival).

A capella and vulnerable, the singer describes sounds in tones, a fractured anatomy of a lyric. She thrives on breaking diction and syntax patterns into atomic bits. MacAllister emphasizes the seedy underbelly, the oft neglected components. She unfasten them and relegates them into something else. In the eyes, she confronts her lover, woos her lover, confronts her sister, and rejects her sister. Each slide of a slightly different image reveals the tension in the singers’ face, a singer without a mouth—lit only in the eyes. / Eye Lit Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Your eyes lit up when I saw you Clutter litter lisping Clitter litter it sings Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Your eyes lit up when you came Your eyes lit up when you came Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Pitter patter blister Clatter matter, sister Taper under eyes Paper under eyes Glitter under eyes Flitter under eyes Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Eye lit Eyes lit Eye lit Eyes lit

Gurdonark: In 1890 and 1891, Eugene Schiefflin did a romantic and misguided thing. He released 100 birds of the species commonly known as European starlings in Central Park in New York City. He had a goal of releasing every bird mentioned in Shakespeare into the American wilds. His project did not prosper as to most species, which did not reproduce. Yet the starling took hold, and soon became a successful invader, intimidating bluebirds and eating crops in the field. The starling became known as an unwelcome invader. Birders do not seek out the starling. The starlings dark colors and aggressive ways render it commonplace and unwanted. Yet I find the starling to have its own charms--a joy in living, and a search for opportunity. One chilly May morning in north Texas, I stood in a thrift store parking lot. A small tree stood in an open space in the concrete. Atop the tree stood a starling. As I watched, he began to sing. I do not remember his song nearly as much as I remember his enthusiasm. May we all, unwanted and excessive every one, live with enthusiasm, in song.

Lionfish on Continents: Lionfish on Continents” describes Bonnie MacAllister’s anticipation before debarking to Ethiopia for her Fulbright-Hays in 2009. She was one of fourteen teachers in the United States to be chosen to write the national curriculum on Ethiopia for the United States Department of State. Several years before, MacAllister lost her cousin, Michael in a tragic and suspicious death. Michael’s father was Ethiopian and he never made it to the United States. MacAllister’s mother nearly adopted Michael early on, and MacAllister always mourned the loss as the loss of a brother. Right before MacAllister left for Ethiopia, Michael Jackson died, and she paints him as a strange fish and a symbol for her cousin, a name to be repeated frequently during her Fulbright, always in her mind while she was in Ethiopia. The imagery for this film was shot on location at the Dragon Elysee in Paris, exactly one year after MacAllister returned from Ethiopia. She was in France about to begin another fellowship for French language educators.

One True Dog: ONE TRUE DOG Syllables in everyday speech beat out at about 120 times a minute and vowels are produced in a wind instrument. Song and speech overlap. The connection between the two is deep and sometimes poetic. So ancient in fact is the link that old song forms, the villanelle and the sonnet among them, litter poetry like higgledy gravestones in a neglected graveyard. It should make sense then to arrange marriages between poetry and music. The trouble is the sex is so often forgettable the relationships tend not to last. There are exceptions and with no obvious diseases there’s no reason to discourage experimentation. IN THE BAND Pete Karkut : Laptop and Percussion. Stephen Elwell: Bass. Zolan Quobble: Voice. The laptop uses Ableton with a range of samples from avocado soup bubbles and trapped flies through demijohn percussion to Egyptian strings. The bass playing is usually melodic tainted with grunge and punk and circus, which you might expect from the ex Brain of Morbius keyboard player. The words of LOCUST, the song included here, are adapted by Zolan Quobble from a Madagascan Folk Song by Anonymous.

PAS: So It's A Flash Of Tainted Electric Dust So it’s all in shame that the word has blame Unto the ashes will you part with your colour Fades into the sparkling day into the suns rays to be refreshed Unto the ashes into the flame It rains dust in the worlds of beyond that seek refreshing TIME Extracting your hope for many to turn their backs on because of an illuminated ray The future you will obey until you cease to be an object A cold solid form with no fire storming nonsense while you rot yourself from the insides Fingers that grab you when you are awake Awake to steal your organs and taste them with carnal hunger’’’ Make the best of the cannibalism that pertains to this world For you can yell into the ocean and no one can hear you sound For in the end things wander and sparkle away For in the end there are all ends All that lead to the perfect circle We can all chase our burning wax tails Tall to seek the peak of the wax mountain that heats and lets us slip back into the pool of Electric thoughts Be for warned that it’s all just a pleasant circle….. I hear I speak I taste I touch I blend with the waves into the others.

I plucked out random natural harmonics on the bass, layering them with the loop station and used a contact mic to capture the thumb piano. The cell phone feedback comes from sending a text message with the cell phone up against the pick-up of the bass, hence the name.

Tumei Tejas, Richard Lainhart and Mike Durek: From the Earth to the Sky is a remix by Michael Durek of Richard Lainhart's Cranes Fly West. The video was created by Tumei Tejas.

The remix started with the original work of Richard Lainhart's entitled Cranes Fly West. The video attempts to meld the objective topographical sense of reality contained in a flawed antiquated map with subjective experience.

Jim Tuite (AKA Tumei Tejas) has been using photography since 1983. He uses a degenerative approach to video as a foil to mass media and the internet. Visual elements are reduced to iconic value and reassigned to mythological overlays or simulacra strategies. He is a graduate of Tyler School of Art and School of Visual Arts.

Michael Durek is an experimental musician, artist, and composer from Colonia, New Jersey. His main instruments are the upright bass, theremin, and keyboard. He also makes use of various non-traditional objects, electronic sounds, and found samples. In his work, Durek infuses order with chaos, convention with absurdity, and sincerity with humor.
He became active in the experimental music community in August 2009, and since that time has formed the groups Cloud Cloud and the SK Orchestra. He was also recruited by the experimental music group, PAS (Post Abortion Stress).

Richard Lainhart is an award-winning composer, author, and filmmaker - a digital artisan who works with sonic and visual data. Since childhood, he's been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds and images that are as beautiful as he can make them. As an active performer, Lainhart has appeared in public approximately 2500 times. Besides performing his own work, he has worked and performed with John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, Rhys Chatham, Harley Gaber, and Jordan Rudess, among many others. He has composed over 150 electronic and acoustic works.

Zilmrah: Track Title: Awful Or Wonderful / Artist: ZILMRAH / Lawry Romani: 18 String Guitarwheel, Synths, Sampler, 38" Frame Drum, Effects / David Tamura: Tenor Saxophone, Effects / Awful Or Wonderful Is an excerpt from a much longer 25 minute piece titled Non Sequitur Metastasis. It was the third movement in the piece. The segment deals primarily with the upside of heightened awareness, something detractors have labeled paranoid behavior in the modern age in an attempt to suppress this quality in modern man. For centuries those with heightened awareness have suffered at the hands of the miscreants for obtaining this level of understanding. If one can achieve this state through meditation without mind altering drugs, one can only speculate that this human is truly gifted in a journey most lose sight of in their own introspection. there is still a fine line between a gift and a curse so it is up to the gifted to harness this power for their own path to inner peace.

Zolan Quobble: Poetry is not story telling but it is, like any writing, a form of assisted thought. It’s a state of mind. You know it when you’re in it, reading, listening, watching, writing and performing. The words physically resonate with emotion and significance. If you’re lucky the words are musical. Poetry aspires to be part of an authentic world where you mean what you say and where meaning is life enhancing because it’s part of an ecological and psychological whole. Unfortunately like Deep Ecology it is difficult to live on pieces of economically determined value and profess adherence to the cause. Who can live the life style of the Poetry they stand up for? Some poets are protected in ivory towers and pay the price for their safety by ingesting food laced with bromide. In the real world to avoid being convicted on a charge of hypocrisy, the use of a pseudonym is recommended. This is why, ‘Zolan Quobble’. You don’t need an avatar for a virtual world, you need an avatar for the real world.

Cagey House: The doctor and I were drinking one night, in a part of town that we didn’t usually frequent. As always, we were trying to keep a low profile, but the doctor, with his white lab coat and his stethoscope, always attracted some attention. That night the attention was all of the unwelcome kind. It had been coming for a while, but that was the night I knew for sure—humor was out, and serious was back in style. As we sat at a corner table, discussing the situation, a dart whizzed by and smacked into the wall right by our heads. We turned, and another sailed in and stuck in the table, right by the drinks. Over at the dartboard, a kid—who looked very familiar—was laughing. He was with two mummies--all wrapped up but also wearing shades, and hats, and cheap suits. There seemed to be a cloud of dust hanging around them. The Doctor got up to have a word, and I figured that was that. But when he came back, he looked shaken He gulped his drink without bothering to sit back down and pointed at the door. In the parking lot he said to me, “That kid with the mummies, he’s got a time machine, and he’s going to go back to the fifties, and mess around, and fix it so that I never happen.” I told him that was crazy. People wouldn’t stand for it. He was the heir, the best and brightest. But from that night on, I saw less and less of him. Until it got to be like he had never happened. Then a few years later--a few long years--I was in the basement doing laundry, and the phone rang. I picked it up, and could hear the unmistakable sound of a good time in progress—muffled laughter, glasses clinking, a cash register’s ring. And there was music—weird, good music—loud guitars and horns working through some eerie mode. Then, just before the line went dead, I heard the Doctor’s voice, “Where have you been, where have you been, where have you been?” And I’ve been wondering ever since.

Clutter: Lanternhouse II (7:54) (Shaun Blezard) / Lanternhouse II is an electro-acoustic improvisation using found sounds from Lanternhouse in Ulverston as part of Shaun Blezard’s artist residency there under the project name Cumbria Remixed. Cumbria Remixed is a sound project using digital technologies to investigate and remix the soundscape of Cumbria. It will look at creating a lively dialogue between old and new, young and old through field recordings of Cumbrian environments, and Cumbrian people’s tales, tunes, stories and songs. I will use digital technology to remix and remould our environment and our stories to create new soundscapes and songs. Cumbria remixed is a project by Shaun Blezard for Lanternhouse. Shaun Blezard has been writing music about and of Cumbria for over 10 years, working with artists, poets, musicians, dancers and the community as well as incorporating sounds of the local environment into his work. He is interested in working with every day new technologies such as mobile phones and games consoles as well as standard digital technologies to create music and sound art. His current live set up includes iPhone, Nintendo DS, laptop and effects pedals. He is interested in areas of music where genres meet and finding ways to incorporate this melding of influences back into his music. His working method involves the use of field recordings, both raw and processed, to convey a sense of place and narrative, with the immediate sonic environment at the core of his work. 'A fine collection of digital landscape paintings and atmospheres by Shaun Blezard under his Clutter alias...

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea' Recorded and mixed by Frédéric D.

Graham Dunning: My working practice deals with temporality, memory and narrative through sound, performance and installation. I am interested in people’s discarded memories, in photographs, sound recordings or objects, and the function of archiving. Found home recordings from the recent past feature in my work investigating notions of the artifact and implied narrative. Experimentation is important in my work, and my practice is often informed by scientific experimental protocol

Gurdonark: In a time when information is more available and more important than ever, access to information is being treated as a commodity. Among the potential casualties of this change is the public library. In Library, the music explores the quiet complexities of this common but un-commonplace institution. The music was created with the Sawcutter 2.0 software synthesizer, using simple samples I created. I used two Bolivian flutes, a tarkas and a ponquillo, as well as a pewter cup and a circular kitchen bowl, to create the sound samples used in this song. I believe in self-education, in upward mobility through learning, and in closing the educational gap between rich and poor through libraries and schools. The image is a view of the surrounding mountains from the rooftop of the Salt Lake City, Utah public library.

This hyper-realized metaphor is on one level depicting sci-fi imagery for affect to grossly exaggerate the obvious; pointing out mans lack of understanding for the untapped regions in the human mind, the likes of which we sadly will not see come into fruition in our own lifetime. Static frequencies permeate the air waves that surround our minds, blocking free flowing thought, increasing the need for the mind to filter through elaborate defense mechanisms which are counter productive to the growth of the human mind yet necessary for mans sanity and survival. These machinations have become a slightly more sophisticated version of our primal instincts. One can only conclude the only way to evolve is to isolate the mind from the negative side effects of day to day living including all counter productive persons within that sphere and stimulate our minds whenever possible in place of all negative human contact.

Ambient Fabric: I do it my way

Anton Mobin: Title: Tout Seul / Author: Anton Mobin / Year: Sept. 16th, 2010 / CWK 0012 survey / There’s a long time i know that i must produce a sound piece for Survey0012 to honor the invitation of my three friends. And the time goes on and goes on... And seeing the line soon dying, i said to A. “ argh **** maybe not this time, but sure the next one *** ” Finally i changed my mind and decided to listen to all my recent rushs to cut an extract and edit an original sound piece. My challenge to classwar Karaoke is always to propose a different sound, a different easthetic, a sound collaboration or at least a good sound which shows my definitive commitment in this project. I choose a sequence recorded in Cave40 at Bourges (France). It was during the afternoon before my evening live act in this place on september 16th, 2010; i was alone and decided to play all the afternoon. I played Tapes. Only one tape offered by my friend Denis Mc Carty. On the cassette, there are reports of meeting in an french administrative establishment. Boring...but I remained blocked on the first words on the tape “Tout seul” that means “Alone”.

Clutter: Clutter works between the fields of electroacoustic improvisation, ambient electronics and music concrete, adding touches of anything from dub, jazz and post rock to his eclectic mix of influences. He has played all over the UK, solo and as part of larger ensembles, playing Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Birmingham Symphony Hall, the ambisonic multi-channel system at Workington Town Centre and a series of village halls in Cumbria. He has also toured the Southern United States, including headlining at Eyedrum in Atlanta. He is interested in areas of music where genres meet and finding ways to incorporate this melding of influences back into his music. His working method involves the use of field recordings, both raw and processed, to convey a sense of place and narrative, with the immediate sonic environment at the core of his work. He combines this with electronics and traditional instruments. His current set up involves laptop, I-Phone, Nintendo DS, a number of effects pedals, and guitar and bass. He is also a regular improviser on the improv circuit where he has been developing ways of working with electronics alongside traditional players on this scene and with jazz musicians. His aim is to improve his knowledge of using new technologies in an improvisational way and as more of a ‘real’ instrument rather than just gimmick. Clutter has been involved in a number of recordings since 2001 under his own name and with a variety of other projects, including orfeo 5, Good Noise Bad Noise, Aht-n and with composer Susan Matthews. Recordings include releases on Clinical Archives, Dokuro and Earth Monkey Productions. Clutter is the solo project of Cumbrian based audio/visual artist Shaun Blezard who, outside of the Clutter project, works as a community musician and audio visual artist for companies including the Sonic Arts Network, The National Trust, Welfare State International and Apples & Snakes. He has written music for films, theatre, contemporary dance and installation, and even panto (oh yes, he has!!). Shaun is also the artistic director of Earth Monkey Productions, a net label and not for profit organisation promoting experimental electronics and sonic art in the UK. Shaun started his musical career as a bass player playing with indie band The Peach Thieves in 1986, then psychedelic country band The Clementines, before getting involved in dance culture in the early 90’s, which ignited his interest in electronic music. While still playing bass in all types of bands, he began writing using samplers before finding his own voice around the Millennium. He has continued his open approach to listening and playing over the years, and played in folk and skiffle bands as well as the experimental electronics for which he is now known.

Gurdonark: Imagine an American interstate, rolling past Texas fields of grass. Imagine cows grazing. Imagine scraggle-woodlands formed around winding creeks. See hawks perched on telephone poles, searching the fields for prey. Imagine holly trees, in full berry, nestled amid cedar juniper trees. Imagine an exit: Sulphur Springs. There, beside the freeway, it stands -- a cranberry factory, taking what is tangy and edible and fascinating and placing it in glass bottles. So often it's tempting to bottle experience. But instead, just imagine, amid the robotic factory sounds, the clanging reality of berries in the tree. I live near that Texas prairie you just imagined. I drive that Interstate 30. I co-own a netlabel (negative sound institute). I make music for viral video and liberal sharing. On cold winter days I marvel at holly berries, and long for a tour of the cranberry factory --- Robert Nunnally (who records as Gurdonark)

It does not discern between the polarity of positives and negatives. It simply rotates the core of my being until it becomes autonomous with any and all energy around my own life.

Astral Social Club: Astral Social Club is Neil Campbell (born 19 May 1966 in Scotland), a British musician notable for his vast catalogue and his many collaborations. Campbell has long been involved in the UK’s experimental music scene, including acts like Vibracathedral Orchestra and Sunroof!.

Clutter: After The Wake (7:29) (Blezard) / Recorded live at Totally Wired in Lancaster on 21st May 2010 / Clutter works with a mixture of found sounds/field recordings and traditional instruments to produce highly textured soundscapes which drift in and out of focus. Clutter is Shaun Blezard who has played live music for 25 years and has performed on stages, shopping centres, village halls, arenas, buses, art galleries and quite a few fields around the globe. He has been concentrating on experimental music and improvising for the last 10 years and currently writes and performs solo as Clutter and plays with Aht-n, Deep Clutter, orfeo 5 and Susan Matthews.

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

To those creatures of Misophiland and, if we must, to those still further out... Rightly in our estimation, our work is perceived to be concerned primarily with the morale of the representations we have established in the clenched teeth, one might say, of a kind of pervasive cultural hubris. So much for neo-fluidity and its array of impaling sticks and barricades. We find ourselves at-odds with this stasis and its environs. For us, it is destructive in its methods and malign in its ever-changing stainless methodologies, which are, at any rate, based upon terrors no-one but the self-interested could logically rationalise or disregard. We have, that is to say, occupied ourselves instead with our many contributions to fields of inquiry devoid of any over-assumed moral expertise or practical imperative. This new contortion of ours is eminently fatal, we are pleased to say, and we happily await no malcontentions because of this. Without reservation, we suppose upon the following twenty-eight statements:

ANTON MOBIN & TH-TH: "Analog Numbers" was composed by Th-Th and Anton Mobin, February 2010. It’s an original soundwork for 0009 survey of Classwar Karaoke. Anton Mobin and Th-Th play with the contrast of their set up to give a new sensation between analog circuit and computer processing. This work is the first composition of Tham Duo using alternation on the web. Before this one, they used to play live a free improvisation, extensive & meditative. Anton Mobin and Thomas Thiery improvise a music which evoke the work of early futurist musicians, a strange mixture of nostalgic experiences of everyday life and disintegration of language in sound clusters, Anton making his flea market object whistle and scream, Thomas going deeper and deeper in his nerd’s universe of unidentified sonic objects. MOOD: Anton Mobin’s part of composition use wood and metal through a home made prepared chamber. Rhythms are composed playing springs and rubbed objects on sufaces. Some recordings are filtred with analog delay. A micro universe bathed in the chamber natural reveb of concrete and rich sounds for a puffing and hypnotic structure. Th-Th’s part of composition is oriented through the opposite road: minimal & digital for a nervous and dry structure rich of poor sounds. Concrete and rich Sounds - puffing and hypnotic Structure. Take the opposite road. Minimal, numeric(digital) and poor Sounds - nervous and dry Structure.

CHEVO LEGE: cela fait bientôt dix minutes que je stagne sur ces chiottes et que j'entends le bruit récurrent et quasi-régulier des gens qui entrent, pissent, se lavent les mains, les essuient et sortent (le grincement identique de la porte) à chaque ouverture de la porte surgit un effluve de brouhaha en provenance de la salle du restaurant jet d'urine qui frappe l'émail et glougloute dans la cuvette, eau qui coule, mains qui se frottent, éternuements et raclements de gorges, portes qui claquent, chasses d'eau actionnées… tout cela me ramène exclusivement aux bruits des hommes que, cependant, je ne vois plus… l'humain se vide peu à peu de sa substance charnelle pour n'être plus que manifestation sonore inquiétante…

MURMURISTS: Dear reader, overheard, as if sit-com verisimilitude: '...I am in three halves; open by cutting (me). Physical explanations without foundation are for the easily-led, they say. This, for me, is the erotic anatomy of imperfection itself - an indoor game. I am here only to demonstrate this factual size. The humane demand that I at least try. So, hear this ... you misguided and ill-equipped pedants, you rabble, I am become law. I am become ethics. I am become the animal of your inefficiencies. War wags the dog, cuts the baby in two. Meanwhile, I utterly and restlessly continue. My tastes will astonish you...'. You will hear instead, dear reader, acoustic guitars and basses, objects, live electronics, field-recordings, and voices. And then, it progresses, and Annie giggles; as I ruminate upon devolving gods in a kingdom of numbers - exactly fleeting, flitting and fugitive. I've got their talk-radio on; so I am including it. Their first message reads, in part: '...Gather no threads together. Offer no insight. If you are then you are. Contentions undersing dictatorship...'. I respond with the dedication: '...You should have raised me from an egg in a laboratory on an island...'. Dear reader, you will hear instead, live electronics, violet wand, field-recordings, and voices. It progresses further still; and, for myself, I have but one black goal: I covert your pumpkin pie. Via via ... vvv ia .... valuable paper presents, downloaded from vulnerable banks in obscure cities by nominal sleepers. YES MONEY [sic]. Stop moving ... My gang is literature-based. Our conceptual analysis is exactly that, and it is WIDE-RANGING.

Close examination will reveal little which calls upon general perception, as you will quickly see. There is no swathe of interpretation, no retrieving, no determined explosive relevance. We are using technologies which provide best for an unpredictable essentialism. Dear reader, your adoption was no coincidence, I am here for your dialogue, so to speak, I am here for your articulation, and professionals can interpret as they see fit, but you, I know, will hear, instead, acoustic guitars and basses, objects, live electronics, field-recordings, and voices.

PAS: Improv Track/Timelapse from "The Caged Bird Sings" 24 Hour Music Performance "The Caged Bird Sings" 6 Musicians. 24 Hours. ONE Vibration. "The Caged Bird Sings" is a multimedia performance, 24-hour musical improvisation, and 3-week exhibition beginning on Friday January 29th at 7:30pm. It took place at Alfa-Art Gallery in New Brunswick, New Jersey in celebration of the gallery's 2nd year Anniversary. The project was conjured up by Michael Durek, an experimental musician from Colonia. He conceived of The Caged Bird Sings in the spirit of Einstein's realization that "Everything in life is vibration". A six-celled cage will be constructed inside the gallery. Six musicians, each in their own cell, will remain inside the cage with their instruments and improvise continuously for 24 hours. The music performance ran continuously from 7:30pm on January 29th to 7:30pm on January 30th. Throughout the performance, live video feeds from within each of the six cells was broadcast online. The musicians involved were Robert L. Pepper and Amber Brien of Brooklyn-based experimental music group PAS, Dave Tamura of The Jazz Fakers, Tsubasa Berg, and Durek himself. According to Durek, the 24 hour musical improvisation mirrors the continuous and possibly choice-less vibrational communication that exists between different forms in the universe. The gallery was also transformed by six artists. Contributors included Rutgers MFA graduates Anne Percoco, Sarah Granett, Eric Clausen, and Michelle Provenzano, Rutgers BFA student Daniel Pillis, and artist Ian Trask. Each artist collaborated with a musician and a choreographer to create an interdisciplinary show that kicked off the improvisation on January 29th. Choreographers and dancers included Laura McComb and Jilliana Richcrick of And Dancers, Nicole Mahncke and Michelle Puskas of The Nikki Manx Dance Project, Carla Menchinella, Emily Pope-Blackman of HoverBound, and Ann Peters. The cage design was influenced strongly by the ideas of artist James Tuite. The cage construction was led by Mercedes Bradley, and aided by Anne Percoco. The exhibition, facilitated by the gallery's curator Michiko Mull, ran until February 17th. The gallery is located at 108 Church Street, in New Brunswick NJ. Visit http://www.alfaart.org for more details. About the Exhibition: In her Slips series, Michelle Provenzano explores the fleeting and unguarded moments of gestural expression through watercolor, drawing, and sculpture. Her work often memorializes casted shadows, in which the physical manifestation of memory is both interactive and thought-provoking. Similarly, artist Sarah Granett constructs a nebulous spandex form in which a series of time based
interactions offer the contemplation of surface, form and infinity. In his series entitled, 'It Came From Beneath the Sea', artist Eric Clausen considers the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, an alternative evolutionary theory which proposes that our ancestors first adapted to life within a partially aquatic atmosphere. These works illustrate our natural environment (the sea), the human ascent to land, and perhaps why humans have never returned. Artist Ian Trasks primary medium is trash. After noticing the abundance of industrial waste from his work place, Trask set out to liberate and transform his found medium into mesmerizing pieces of sculpture. His installation entitled Variable was made out of found and recycled cardboard. Anne Percocos "Complements of the Hotel Eden" is an interactive sculpture that was inspired by Aldous Huxley's Island, Joseph Cornell's bird-themed vitrines, and the artist's personal matchbox collection. In addition, the artist created a delayed video feed of a space projected onto itself, which allowed performers and viewers to interact with their past traces and movements. Daniel Pillis is a verbal and visual artist, whose artistic motivations are fueled by a deeply seated desire to decompress the inner workings of social systems by re-interpreting symbolic devices through the mechanisms of subjective identity. His work exemplifies the relationships between the constraints of time and the creative process.
PHILIPPE PETIT: Philippe Petit : plevritis humanum est / Philippe Petit: processed acoustics/field recordings + electronics / Bela Emerson: cello / Hervé Vincenti: oscillatin' bass / PHILIPPE PETIT is interested in soundtracks; even if he creates original music he'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer. PETIT uses a computer to build up electronic layers, process acoustic and field recordings. To second the machine he likes to move various glasses, or percussive objects, and take advantage of vinyl material to fondle released sounds. A journalist for various magazines and radio as well as a musical activist, PETIT has celebrated his 25th year of sharing his musical passions as the man behind the cult labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp. PETIT has assembled what people call a dream-team of collaborators, working with: Lydia Lunch, Foetus, Kumo, Scott McCloud (Girls Against Boys), Cosey Fanni Tutti, My Brightest Diamond, Sybarite, Pantaleimon, Graham Lewis (Wire), Barry Adamson, Scanner, Mira Calix, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, Guapo, Leafcutter John, Simon Fisher Turner, Justin Broadrick and many more... Aside his solo works, PETIT is active in Strings Of Consciousness, does a duo with Lydia Lunch, and his collab with James Johnston (Gallon Drunk/Bad Seeds/Faust) just appeared on Dirter Promotions. His first solo album “Henry: The Iron Man” was released thru Beta Lactam Ring Records, and his second Cd appeared on Rothko’s imprint Trace Recordings + OFF in digital formats. In the works are collabs with Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Murcof, Simon Fisher Turner, Vultures and "Cordophony" gathering music whose sound comes from the vibrations of one or several strings. www.myspace.com/philippepetit Bela Emerson is an innovative and prolific performer of electric cello, electronics, tenor viol and musical saw, who creates passionate, evocative and spontaneous music of no definable genre.

RUELA PINHO: My own interpretation of T. S. Eliot’s poem "The Waste Land”. Six minutes of dark post-apocalyptic ambient of a world immersed in eternal phantasmagoria… I start the video with a poem written by a friend: WALKING ON ICE / Go! My ghost of dark shadows / Walking on ice. The white embrace
Of nothingness will remember your path / If the pure snow can forget the trace / Of evil blood and the soul's tempest. Go! / May the cold be the castle and the sorrow, May the cold be. Walking on ice, so thin, So clear, so dark – and find a place to rest! Lord of Erewhon.
SOUND INHALER: Sound Inhaler: face (the 3 r’s) / As Mark.E.Smith once said "We dig repetition". The same image repeated, the same sound repeated, developing its own rhythm and new views are revealed from the repetition. As The Slits once said "Silence is a rhythm too". The second half is silent, contemplate a new rhythm. For full effect turn on Repeat or Loop. Is there anything more commonplace but so fascinating as a face?

SUSAN MATTHEWS WITH CLUTTER: Ships Will Leave (8:44) Ships Will Leave was recorded live in Lambeth, London in 2010 at a rehearsal for a gig at a Ship Of Fools night at Temple Pier to promote the release of the Tursa compilation A Forest Of Stars, which features the Susan Matthews track Time Will Leave. Ships Will Leave is a reworking of elements of Time Will Leave featuring Clutter. Susan and Clutter have been periodically collaborating since 2007, first with online remix work and have since 2009 started working live together including future projects with experimental jazz project orfeo 5 -www.myspace.com/orfeo5 Susan Matthews: A UK based avant-garde experimental composer, known for her intense, ambitious, hypnotic harmonies and industrial noise creations... tangles the brutal with the fragile in a forbidding texture of sound that penetrates on so many levels at once, it's like being touched by a ghost... Dan Schaffer (Doghouse, The Scribbler, Dogwitch) www.myspace.com/susanmatthews www.sirenwire.com Clutter: Clutter works with a mixture of found sounds/field recordings and traditional instruments to produce highly textured soundscapes which drift in and out of focus. Sometimes they float beautifully near dub and dance
other times they rattle your head ‘...feels like a long lost dream interspersed with half remembered timeless memories. You don't just listen, you become immersed
and enriched.’ The Internet Archive www.cluttermusic.com www.myspace.com/clutterearthmp

THOMAS FERNIER: cela fait bientôt dix minutes que je stagne sur ces chiottes et que j'entends le bruit récurrent et quasi-régulier des gens qui entrent, pissent, se lavent les mains, les essuient et sortent (le grincement identique de la porte) à chaque ouverture de la porte surgit un effluve de brouhaha en provenance de la salle du restaurant jet d'urine qui frappe l'émail et glougloute dans la cuvette, eau qui coule, mains qui se frottent, éternuements et raclements de gorges, portes qui claquent, chasses d'eau actionnées… tout cela me ramène exclusivement aux bruits des hommes que, cependant, je ne vois plus… l'humain se vide peu à peu de sa substance charnelle pour n'être plus que manifestation sonore inquiétante…
UNDRESS BETON: acretypos #1020 constellations dropped like a hermits eyelash curtains due to technical problems he would consider this as a fact for depending support beyond kitchen flavors wiping the floor he noticed there was more desperation passing his underwear the lacquer of her nails bled as she cut the sight making the dark slide off nights spending their gods to the words acretypos made the suggestion fail through manuals we already had our pockets sewn to the back so fortune wasn’t of any sort those would decipher the cover excuse me sometime called suiting my anti.christ.com fortune teller yelling for his dish spill —-
VAGINA TEETH / JESUS TEETH: Every event is part of a pattern and shows the direction in which other events in the universe are moving. The apparently random fall of playing cards is believed to indicate the future. The gambler's wheel and the wheel of fortune concerned with 'runs' of luck, the ups and downs of life, in a pattern defying statistical probablility.
WALT SHAW: ‘Timepoints’ has been an ongoing project since 2004. It has involved live multi-media performances, installations, sound compositions and collaborations, in the U.K. and Germany. Throughout all of this work the fascination has revolved around the elusive and indefinable nature of time. We all have a desire to capture the moment, the ‘now’, be it with photographs, video, recordings and memories, but it remains slippery, a melting snowflake. This sound piece was made using three elements. The first being home-made instrumentation, an ongoing obsession. The second element is a sliding door and the third a group of old clocks. In several ways it encapsulates some of the concepts of the project.
ZILMRAH /O..: Track title: Voice Behind Telepath / Instruments used: Handmade 18 string Guitar Wheel, Oscillators, Voices, Synths, Effects. Musician: Lawry Zilmrah Link: www.myspace.com/zilmrah For me Zilmrah /O.. encompasses the need to explore as well as to build onto non-existing audio backdrops. It is not bound by the weight of preconceived genres to guide its motives. There is only room for growth with the removal of expectation. Musical Instruments and sound sculptures are designed for the project for perpetual audio motion and also for cultural expansion; the likes of which have been constricted by habit and progressive discipline. This particular project can also be seen as a directive in opposition to musical stability. It uses its own textures and structures to expand its own place in the genre cluttered world. There is a Spiritual force present in this sound but it is the inner freedom of audible creativity that unleashes this feeling. Open sound is and will always be the only motive to continue doing this for me. There are no political, religious, social motives or hidden agendas guiding this project. It is simply spiritual, either constructive or destructive depending on what is being expressed at that particular time. Aside from sound creation the project has featured the contribution of video artists and experimental dancers. In future installments for live events there will be expanded membership to play some of the new musical instruments; some of which are acoustic percussive, electric and electro-acoustic.
