Occhio (edit)
From OLTRE (Homeopathic)
New Jersey avant hiphop group DΣlek smear their vocals over this
track by Italian trio STEARICA. The group usually comprises
Francesco Carlucci (electric/acoustic guitars, bass, Farfisa,
treated piano, vibraphone, loops), Davide Compagnoni (drums,
piano, marimba, loops) and Luca Paiardi (bass, electric piano,
synth). Here theyÆre augmented by the insistent string duo of Nick
Storring (cello) and Paola Villa (viola). This edit of ôOcchioö
was created by the groupÆs friend Emilio æionÆ Albertoni.
02
Arturas BumÜteinas String Quartet
Karlstad (fragment)
From DASH! Bangalore (EWM)
As well as his own solo work, Lithuanian electronic musician and
visual artist Arturas BumÜteinas runs Twentytwentyone, a
contemporary music quartet dedicated to interpreting graphic
scores. ôKarlstadö is a bonus track commissioned by the Dutch jazz
outfit DASH! to insert in their album Bangalore. Musicians heard
on this piece are Lina LapelytΘ and Tadas Zukauskas (violins) and
Anton Lukoszevieze (cello).
03
Shits And Giggles
Ripcord
Previously unreleased
In a sidestep from his lo-fi Haunted Graffiti releases for Animal
CollectiveÆs Paw Tracks label, Ariel Pink has teamed up with
underground fringe unit Vas Deferens Organization, plus free jazz
trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez and his son Aaron, who plays bass, to
form Shits And Giggles. ôRipcordö showcases the groupÆs work in
progress, in what they describe as a ôwanton miscegenation of
psych/Prog, post-punk, plunderphonics and laptop fuckeryö.
04
Zenlo
The Crab
From Skelethal Antics (Porter Records)
One-man experimental unit Zenlo calls himself musicÆs ôbest kept
secretö. A veteran of psychedelic groups in the 1960s and 70s, he
now parades a concoction of effects-laden drum machines,
tub-thumping tribal rhythms, spontaneous sax solos and harmonica
drones.
05
Marcus Maeder
quadrate
From subsegmental (domizil)
Swiss sound artist Marcus Maeder runs the domizil label with
colleague Bernd Schurer. Working mostly in the field of computer
music, sound installation and theatre, MaederÆs music probes deep
frequencies and the threshold of hearing.
06
Yoshio Machida
Setagaya Art Museum, Sep 28 2008 (excerpt)
From Steelpan Improvisations: 2001û2008
(self released)
Tokyo based Yoshio Machida extends his practice across sonic and
visual art, including pan-international instrumentation and
generative music, and, on Kindermusik, recording improvisations by
infants. This track displays the enhanced steelpan drum playing
heÆs been doing in the past decade.
07
Tomoyoshi Date & Corey Fuller
(with Tadahito Ichinoseki)
Seiya (The Wire Tapper edit)
Previously unreleased
Tomoyoshi Date and Corey Fuller met in Tokyo through mutual
collaborator Chihei Hatakeyama. The original version of "Seiya"
was recorded in a church in Bellingham, in the state of
Washington, for their album Intimations Of Immortality. Over grand
piano, pipe organ, percussion and electronics, Japanese poet
Tadahito Ichinoseki reads lines from his work.
08
Elodie Lauten
Cat Counterpoint
From Piano Works 1983û1991 (Unseen Worlds)
After playing in punk and new wave groups in the late 1970s,
Elodie Lauten became a full-blown composer of works for piano,
electronics, chamber and orchestral ensembles. She set up her Cat
Collectors label to release her early work including the
post-minimalist piece The Death Of Don Juan, and has since
contributed to New Tone, Lovely Music, Point and others. She
recently revived her piano music during a performance series at
the Issue Project Room in New York.
09
Clang Sayne
A Death And A Vision
From Winterlands (self released)
Formed around 2007 by London-based singer/acoustic guitarist Laura
Hyland, Clang Sayne create charged textural atmospheres around
their crepuscular songs. The current line-up includes James O
Sullivan on electric guitar, Pete Marsh on double bass and Matt
Fisher on percussion. Expect a UK tour later this year.
10
Climax Golden Twins
Chinese
From a forthcoming Etude Records release
Seattle underground unit Climax Golden Twins and their associates
have made music for a wide range of contexts, including dance,
theatre, radio, art galleries and film soundtracks. As well as
curating Victrola Favorites for the archival Dust-To-Digital
label, they were most recently heard on the 10" collaboration with
A Frames, AFCGT (Dirty Knobby Industries). ôThe noise informs the
dreams which informs the ambiance which informs the chaos and so
back to the beginning and vice-versa,ö reads a group statement.
11
NETHERWORLD
Aurora Borealis (Blu Ice mix)
From Over The Summit (Glacial Movements)
Italian Alessandro Tedeschi fabricates his NETHERWORLD music from
raw field recordings of glaciers and fragments of classical music,
in an attempt to conjure a sonic imitation of polar landscapes and
cosmic phenomena. His label Glacial Movements is likewise given
over to releasing music that aims to evoke Arctic and Antarctic
climates, with releases lined up from Thomas K÷ner, Francisco
L≤pez and Marsen Jules.
12
10û20
athens
From Isthmus 7" (Highpoint Lowlife)
Hailing from Devon in South West England, the producer behind
10û20Æs shatter-beats has so far declined to reveal his real name.
But his dexterity with handling huge chunks of machine-tooled
sound and coarsely chopped samples were very much in evidence on
his first album for Highpoint Lowlife, 10û20, and on this
satellite 7" release.
13
Franck Vigroux
New York
From RΘcolte (DÆAutres Cordes Records)
Franck Vigroux û composer, guitarist, turntablist, video artist
and producer û commutes between New York and Paris, working in a
vast number of groups and contexts with contemporary musicians and
improvisors such as Elliott Sharp, Marc Ducret, Joey Baron,
Matthew Bourne and others. His first composition for an orchestra
û Ars Nova Ensemble û will be premiered in Paris next spring.
14
Arrington de Dionyso
Rasa Sentuh (Sense Of Touch)
From Malaikat Dan Singha (K Records)
Based in Olympia, Washington, the shamanic bass
clarinettist/guitarist has worked with Old Time Relijun, Maher
Shalal Hash Baz and The Naked Future. On his latest project,
Malaikat Dan Singha, he sings entirely in Indonesian, based on his
own translations of William Blake and the Zohar, and employs vocal
techniques pitched somewhere between Tuvan throat-singing and
Captain Beefheart.
15
Pink Mountain
Ditch Witch
From Pink Mountain (Sick Room Records)
Pink Mountain is a collection of US rock and improvising musicians
drawn together by a mutual love of heavy rock, Noise, free music,
Rock In Opposition, No Wave and stoner Prog. The line-up on this
recording features Sam Coomes (keyboards, vocals), John Shiurba
(guitar, bass), Gino Robair (drums), Scott Rosenberg (reeds) and
Kyle Bruckmann (analogue synthesizers).
16
J°rgen Plaetner
Beta (1962û63)
From Various Pioneers: The Beginning Of Danish Music (LJUD)
Born in Copenhagen in 1930, J°rgen Plaetner studied composition
under Vagn Holmboe, and attended contemporary music courses at
Darmstadt in 1950, where he came into contact with the
experimental practices of Karlheinz Stockhausen. Despite living in
Sweden since 1977, he became one of DenmarkÆs foremost electronic
composers until his death in 2002, and this LJUD Records release
commemorates his computer music and proto-electronica.
17
angkorwat
Big/Little Edie
From angkorwat (Osaka Recordings)
Angkorwat is the alias of IrelandÆs Niamh Corcoran, a classically
trained violinist who has adopted the compositional palette
offered by a laptop computer. Her forthcoming album, says
Corcoran, is ôthe result of several obsessions including
synaesthesia, [American painter] Romaine Brooks and hidden
historiesö.
18
Abreaktor
flagg
From Any Day Now And (Brigade Der Besten QualitΣt)
Over the past ten years, GermanyÆs Alex Osmialowski has dabbled
with everything from Gabba to jazz, via Noise, but now, as
Abreaktor, the Dⁿsseldorf producer has embarked on a series of
electronic micro-arrangements governed by the maxim æScheitern als
ChanceÆ (failure as chance). Crediting influences as diverse as
Autechre, Aphex Twin, Tennessee Ernie Ford and Bill Evans,
Osmialowski hopes to ôget as much feedback and publicity as
possible and then to modify the tracks accordinglyö.
19
OKIE DOKIE
The Monad
From OKIE DOKIE (Aagoo)
ôOKIE DOKIE is a power drill of top speed voodoo black magic. One
growling guitar of battering directness and one thick burning
muscle of walloping bass. No human drummer could supply the
austere precision required, so they flinched off the fat and put
the machine to work. Finally, a maniacal vocalist spins cryptic
riddles like dark spells in menacing rhyme to grip this beast
together. This is what post-hardcore set out for but couldnÆt
cut.ö
20
Keyboard Choir
Tokyo At Night
From Electrical Unity EP (Brainlove Records)
Formed in 2004, Keyboard Choir is a collective of electronic
musicians from Oxford and London who aim to bring the turbulent,
unpredictable dynamics of live performance to electronics and
found sound. Their debut album Mizen Head To Gascanane Sound came
out in September 2008, followed this summer by the Electrical
Unity EP, co-released with The Independent Online, last.fm and
Brainlove Records.
