No Music Day
no music day
I've downloaded enough to fill my hard drive several times over, but I don't have time to listen to it. And what I do listen to is simply there while I'm doing something else - usually driving or surfing the web. Have I forgotten how to listen with attention?

This may or may not be the West Footscray Community String Band...
The West Footscray Community String Band

DEFENDERS OF THE AXE #3, Wednesday October 25th 2006 – Loop Bar, Myers Place, Melbourne – from 8pm - $5 The third in Dreamland Records’ series, showcasing live performances from guitarists with new approaches to the instrument. The West Footscray Community String Band (Chris Smith, Justin Fuller, Barnaby Oliver, Clinton Green) come together to play new compositions for multiple guitarists by Barnaby and yours truly. My two pieces are essentially structured improvisation that explore dynamics between guitarists and enforces a musical co-operation guitarists are not traditionally known for!

Brisbane's Outer Limits in The Wire
I was very pleased to come across a current issue of The Wire in a friend's bathroom recently as their 'Outer Limits' review section is dominated by Brisbane noise makers. Not that the reviews are particularly valuable or insightful (I loathe nearly all music journalism), but love it or hate it, The Wire does reach a large international audience and it's great to be recognised, ya know?
Aforementioned releases are...
Sunshine Has Blown - Self-titled
Available through the half/theory shop here

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... Read more

Media, voice and installation work from 1990
NMATAPE #8
The eighth edition in Shame File Music's reissue of the seminal Australian experimental music series NMATAPES (as referred to in the current issue of The Wire's article on the Clifton Hill Community Music Centre) was originally released in 1990, and collects together a series of media, voice and installation pieces from artists active at the time.
Of particular note are the pieces by Ian Andrews, who's collages of advertising and commercial radio snippets hold up a mirror to consumerism. Similarly, Douglas Kahn's "Hotel", uses audio from the 1980s TV programme of the same name in his collage piece.
Other names of interest include Densil Cabrera, and Richard Vella's composition for multiple funk bass guitars.
Download NMATAPE 8 from Shame File Music, as well as tapes 1-7, or order a CDR copy.

On the 20th I had the pleasure of Bec Cunningham's company. We discussed Fluxus, Flux-Us (the recent controversial event she curated at the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Art,) where she has been and where she is going.
