Audiopollen 04 oct 2006

A brief update cos the hour of sleep draws near!

01) music for remote viewer - teknosadist (SCAR)

A new millenium project for Steve Carter who is responsible for the Fistfunk Futurists and other works alongside Bryan (MIA) Bird and with Antoinette Ryder make some of the most reprehensible comics available - check them out at http://users.tpg.com.au/arydyr/ComicsCat.htm
Teknosadist is deeply lemurian looping torture and comes highly recommended.

02) in the last hour - janek schaefer (ROOM40)

New release from local label and i'm happy to announce that it's great.  Janek has moved away from the turntable stuff towards a kind of installation composition with lots of phonography mixed in with site specific organ manipulation.

03) one plus one - phil samartzis/lawrence english (ROOM40)

I'm sure that this is edited material from the handful of live shows they did together but regardless it is a much tighter collaboration than i remember.  Very much turntablist with Phil bridging the gap between his GUM material and the quite dedicated electro-acoustic approaches he now favours.

04) donomichi - doddodo (Wire Sampler)

What can I say about this... all I remember is boredoms lounge music being played agressively atobnoxiously drunk godard afficionados.

05) basswallah - hathira sama(CHAILIGHT)

Mark Pedersen (ex Spin and Jam) has been spending a lot of time in the middle east and here we have an interesting project that combines some stirring improv on (sadly unlisted) instruments with an unobtrusive level of electronics.
