links: field recordings - part 1

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 08:25:08 +0200

I like to record real sounds with microphones of all kinds.
Glad that I am not alone in the world. Many sound-artists, researchers or field-recordists carry the same passion than I do.

Here are some links to get a little insight into this world.

Field Muzick are from the German Erzgebirge region who swing between evironmental and electronic music. Records like „music out of open windows“ - [fm01] is a compilation of various field recordists not only done for indoor listening. They motivate you to „Listen to it with windows open wide...and let your environment remix the songs!“ Marcus Obst released with „trafic tonalité“ a Cdr with relaxing streetnoise »Like a sky-coloured Sunday-morning version of Kraftwerk’s "Autobahn".« (Tocafi) while Frank Rowenta creates a sinister mediterranean summer feeling at „klänge siziliens“.
More links out of this : Dronaement, Nauze-Muzick

Rummage Through The Crevices - the link goes straight to an excellent field recordings section of the blog - is a weekly community radio segment (Monday Afternoons, 2SER-FM, Sydney, Australia) devoted to offbeat and outsider music, less travelled paths of global pop, interesting re-issued treasures, music-sharing activists, notable and unusual online mp3 repositories, etc. The webloggy thing is its online companion.

Dan had the same walkman than I had.
But I recorded shows from the Einstürzenden Neubauten (early days) and other bands while he did some very special recordings in the arcade.
At his page you can find a massive archive of fine recordings of Classic Arcade Videorecords.

I'm just glad I could preserve them before the the cassettes disintegrate.

New field recordings by Fadi Dorninger at bike-mike

Ritchie hat in seinem datenschmutzblog wieder - wie so oft - wichtiges auf den Punkt gebracht. Mit "Lebenslänglich für Musikkopierer" reagiert er auf Versuche der Musik-/Unterhaltungsindustrie Musikkopierer massiv zu kriminalisieren. Ritchie: "Wer hätte sich vor 10 Jahren bloss gedacht, dass das Kernbusiness der Major Labels sich nicht mehr auf gute Musik, sondern auf Fernseh-Castingshows, Klingeltöne und das Verklagen von Kunden verlagern würde…"

Mehr dazu auch auf Heise Online.

Fuck! Ich will auch meine Platten verkaufen, aber Fans kriminalisieren geht doch zu weit.

MKL:Graz
The guys from the Medienkunstlabor Graz take part in the Plymouth-Banjul Challange 2007, first run in 2003 and then known as the Plymouth-Dakar Challenge.
The aim of the challenge is to drive a car, costing no more than € 150 from Great Britain to The Gambia, where the car is auctioned for, or donated to, charity. To save some time and petrol we are able to start from Vienna (Austria) and join the rest of the teams somewhere in France or Spain. The whole trip takes about 7950km to complete.
The MKL:Graz blog gives you an idea where Franz Xaver and Philipp are at the moment.

Which blogs do I like in "blogistan" (Blogistan by Ritchie):

networked_performance is a a research blog about network-enabled performance hosted by Turbulance.
About networked_performance - more here
In July 2004, Jo-Anne Green and Helen Thorington of Turbulence.org, and Michelle Riel, Assistant Professor of New Media at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), originated the networked_performance blog. It was our intent to chronicle current network-enabled practice, to obtain a wide-range of perspectives on issues and to uncover commonalities in the work
For this purpose, they defined networked_performance as any live event that is network enabled. They included any form of networking in which computational devices speak to each other and create a feedback loop. They also qualified networked performance as being live, or experienced at the moment of creation or reception.

Jake Mandell
A blog of a great musician (disography), techno producer who is now working on a medical school. So he links acoustic research with hearing abilities.
I like his music but I also love his tools to check how good my ears work after 20 years in music biz. Test your deafness here!
PS: I'm still doing good.

The blogs aim is: Investigating how electronic music is presented to an audience.

Skatesonics

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 10:54:43 +0100

By luck I found this excellent piece of sound-art "Skatesonic" by Cobi Tonder!

Skateboard music interface

Cobi van Tonder, author of the brilliant Ephemeral Gumboots, has been commissioned a new work for ISEA2006. The project, Skatesonic, uses the motions and sounds of skateboards and explores their inherent ambient rhythm to create music. In a way, each move translates to musical parameters and the rider ends up skating through a landscape of music (which s/he influences over time).

Skatesonic will work in both solo and group situation. The system "listens" to space through movement, which it maps out and translates into music. Each of the four boards will map to a unique sound and structural parameters, so if there are 4 riders they will be able to jam like a band. For example, Skatesonic will allow skaters to buffer through a sound file in Max, meaning that as they rolls over a certain distance it is as if they have a record needle under the board, and every inch of movement progresses the sound. The live microphone input also reveals information about the texture of surface under the board and intensity of movement. From an interview with the artist by Sylvie Parent. [blogged by Regine on we-make-money-not-art] Related project: Musique Concrete by Simon Morris.

Blogs and MySpace-Male-Heros from the hood!
(Linz, Austria: Bloggende Kollegen und MySpace-Freibeuter mit denen ich dann und wann ein Bier trinke oder in der Stadtwerkstatt beim musizieren zuhöre!)

D-Tex: Blog / MySpace

I have no beard, DJ D-Tex has, as you can see on the pic!!! On his MySpace site he has some excellent tracks, on the blog a great pic with his Lada. So this guy has style. Check out his pages. he is also part of the Fun Phunk Brothers.

Valina: MySpace

"If you've listened to Shellac and thought, 'Y'know what would make this even better? More vocal harmonies and cello. Plus, if they were from Austria...,' you're yearning for Valina." New Haven Advocate. Yes these guys rock, look good and have a great melodic blend- a real boy-group

Parov Stelar: MySpace

Parovs productions addresses the DJ at the club as well as the listener in his easy chair and - he is spinning his well selected vinyls across the world. Groovy jazzy tunes with a fine blend of house or breaks.

Washer: MySpace

Electronic music with the extra note / kick. A digital comic strip, a groovy soap opera of bended circuits. Washer's laptop rocks. Enjoy!

Austro-Pop-Doku!???!

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 17:54:44 +0100

The never ending story: Doro's Austro-Pop-Doku

Fakt ist: Ich habe noch keine Sekunde von dieser Dokumentation gesehen. Gelesen genug, um mir keine Meinung bilden zu wollen. Nun ja, Queen-Material gibt es scheinbar für DoRo keines mehr zu verbraten, da bleibt dann nur mehr der Austro-Pop.

Wenn Austro und Queen, dann bitte schön: AUSTROFRED

Link1: Ritchie im Datenschmutz

Ritchie: "Falls Musiker hierzulande in den Sonnenuntergang reiten, dann tun sie das gemeinhin, um Landesgrenzen zu überschreiten. Insofern ist natürlich der Untertitel “Weltberühmt in Österreich” eine bodenlose Frechheit, eine bornierte Herabwürdigung jedes kontemporären Kunstschaffens, ein mittelmäßig verkleidetes Schlechtreden in bester österreichischer Nörglertradition. Der Humor macht hier sowieso Ferien, da helfen auch keine am Ende alibimäßig angehängten 5-Ster-Grissemann-Minuten, die im Kontext dieser zwangsfixierten Doku ohnehin deplaziert wirken."

Link2: Blumenau - FM4

Blumenau's Überschriften!
"So etwas wie Austro-Pop gibt es nicht."
"Austropop" als Arbeitsplatzbeschaffer.
"Ein Phantom, eine Fiktion."
"Austropop gibt's nicht."
"There is no such thing as an "Austropop"."

Shit, und ich war gar nicht dabei, obwohl ich dabei war. Me and the dudes!

Which blog do I like in "blogistan" (Blogistan by Ritchie):

bleed
A video blog published by offscreen for short movies, mini documentations, experimentals and video art feat. works by Monochrom, Valina, Roostnine (my fav.), I-Wolf feat. Shaun Rider, and many more. Great videoworks on high resolution. Do pass by.

thelastbeat.com
Dieser flockigen Selbstdarstellung ist nichts mehr hinzuzufügen. I love this blog!
#thelastbeat.com ist in erster Linie das persönliche Blog der im Impressum erwähnten Person, eine Person zwischen Sprachwissenschaftler, Webfanatiker, Konzertbesucher, Teilzeit-Misanthrop, Ableton-DJ, Wannabe-Schreiberling und ungefährlich Halbwissendem.
#thelastbeat.com ist ferner eine Plattform für größtenteils subjektive musikjournalistische Schreibe in Form von Features, Konzert- und Plattenrezensionen in Bild, Ton und Schrift, sowie ein zumeist unvollständiger Terminplaner für Veranstaltungen in und um Frankfurt am Main.
#thelastbeat.com ist ferner die textuelle Heimat der gleichnamigen wöchentlichen Webradioshow auf Dirtyradio, in der die oben genannte Person in unregelmäßig regelmäßigen Abständen die digitalen Plattenteller kreisen lässt, und mit patentiertem Akzent englischen Smalltalk von sich gibt.

Phlow
Magazin für Musik & Netzkultur. In Sachen Musik liegt der Schwerpunkt auf Netlabels und Netaudio. Rubriken wie Video/Film, Bücher und Design/Technik pushen den Phlow massiv.

I love music
A board, a blog??? People ask and answer music questions.
I like this entry a lot! German DJs and their living rooms

spotsZ - Kunst.Kultur.Szene.Linz

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:14:42 +0100

Endlich! Linz hat seit dem Hillinger (R.I.P) wieder ein Stadtmagazin!

spotsZ - Kunst.Kultur.Szene.Linz heißt das seit Oktober 2006 monatlich erscheinende Print- & "Download"magazin mit Schwerpunkten Termine Linzkultur (von E zu U), Kulturszene, Kunstdiskurs und Stadtleben.

Meine Lieblingskolumne ist der Fruchtgenuss - Der attraktiviste Leerstand des Monats. Das Bildarchiv dokumentiert die attraktivisten, leerstehenden Gebäude im Raum Linz auf einem Blick.

Die Rubrik Ausschreibungen verschlinge ich mit besonderer Freude, den lin.C Cartoon sowieso und in der aktuellen Ausgabe "Burnout-Biennale" von Harald Schmutzhard, der in seinem Artikel der Frage nachgeht, warum so viele KulturarbeiterInnen so schnell ausbrennen.
Nun ja, lieber Harald, wir sind halt immer noch vom frühen Bürgertum geprägt, das, der Romantik verhaftet, den Künstler (auch den Kulturarbeiter) als nicht endend wollende Kunstproduktionsmaschine sieht, die sowieso nichts anderes tun kann, als Kunst zu produzieren. Deshalb braucht man auch kaum Mittel zuführen, es passiert sowieso. Ich plädiere für einen Aktivstreik. Die Freie Szene kehrt im September 200x Linz den Rücken und organisiert / bespielt zB. ein Festival in Rumänien. Vielleicht schafft die Freie Szene dann über Hubert von Goisern den Re-Import nach Linz.

Anyhow: spotsZ ist eine bereicherung für Linz - download hier!
