Swamp Monsters, Secret Prisons

Sunday, 4 March 2012

The tenth iteration of the Dystimbria saga appears in the form of “Swamp Monsters, Secret Prisons” by Chicago artist Cinchel.
–
The method of Dystimbria production involves re-use of previously released tracks as sound source material for new tracks, and Cinchel takes a bit from each of the nine tracks already released to produce a brief and dramatic piece of organized sound.

Just checked Last.FM stats, amused to find that in the last 12 months @cinchel is 2nd most listened to, @meteer is 3rd. #
@cinchel Specifically the Closer Contact + Meteer collaborations. Although his solo stuff rules too. in reply to cinchel #

@disquiet Perhaps an implicit goal of these projects is education? in reply to disquiet #

Review of “Flow”

Sunday, 5 February 2012

The new EP from Germany’s the Euphoric Hum was reviewed by the blog Acts of Silence.
–
Author David Nemeth writes:

“Flow is an album that refuses the boundaries of language — it is just electronic music. Flow is everything you might think electronic music is and, at the same time, everything electronic music is not. Stephan Dragesser aka The Euphoric Hum writes, “Often my pieces are based on little loops, and the tracks are based on long sessions experiment with sounds, to bring the sound in a form, make a track, is always a problem for me, because I can basically get lost.” Getting lost is apropos of everything and nothing when writing about Flow.”

@hecanjog That's why I embrace the term "experimental". Not all experiments are successes-you have to accept failure as part of the process in reply to hecanjog #
@grahamdunning Yes, it's been slightly unhappy not having a larger institution with a larger budget behind me to pay for shipping. in reply to grahamdunning #

Supposedly we're about to be hit with one of the 10 worst snowstorms in history. Being from Colorado, I'll believe that shit when I see it. #
@hecanjog My least favorite minimalist. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger The idea of compositional control has been a key issue in experimental music since the Schaeffer / Cage dichotomy. in reply to Le_Berger #
Sound art call for entries – deadline for proposals Feb 6 http://t.co/k7XBdgKR #
@Le_Berger Didn't mean to be pompous, just that the role of composer is a subject for much discourse. #indeterminacy #acousmatics in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger Personally, I think it's completely appropriate to dwell inhabit an in-between state. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I encourage you to look into Pierre Schaeffer's ideas & contrast them w/ John Cage's – completely fascinating the differences. in reply to Le_Berger #
@Le_Berger I agree, I'd often rather read Cage or listen to him speak than listen to his music. #
@hecanjog Hm. Good question. I've looked up the usual suspects (Wikipedia et al) & they're pretty unsatisfying. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Schaeffer's approach in a nutsell is that sound ought to be divorced from its context, listened to as pure sound-(#1 of ??) in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog He called this approach "acousmatics" a term based on Pythagoras' akousmatikoi. Pythagoras taught his students from behind (#2of?? in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog …from behind a curtain so that the facial expressions & body language wouldn't taint the pure information of his lesson. (#3of?? in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog Context therefore could be viewed in Schaefferian terms as "noise" interfering with the signal of compositional intent. (#4of??) in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog In its modern use, any music which has a message or point to it is counter to Schaefferian acousmatics due to its context. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger I agree with that entirely. That agrees with my philosophy, and yet I'm drawn to many Schaefferian composers. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog Lopez is a *perfect* example of a purist modern Schaefferian composer. Bernhard Günter is another. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog It's obvious from my body of work that I'm a conceptual composer, but I do utilize the pure sound approach at times. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger Absolutely. I am comfortable with many approaches. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog Günter is really interested in space, probably growing out of his fascination w/ Feldman. in reply to hecanjog #
@Le_Berger Yes, it's good to know these ideas and where you ground yourself in the field of work. in reply to Le_Berger #
@hecanjog I've always used sound in materialist terms, but I'm not sure I conceptualize sound as material. in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog No, I'm actually behind on my listening of his work. I ought to catch up since Trente Oiseaux is a free netlabel now! in reply to hecanjog #
@hecanjog It's funny, the acousmatic composers often have the most interesting music-I'd rather listen to Pierre Schaeffer any day over Cage in reply to hecanjog #
That wasn't such a bad snowstorm. Off to work I go. #
