Audiopollen 13 September 2006

Tonight we played a mixture of releases from the last 1/2 of the year.

Starting with David Shea's Art of Memory suite which has recently been released on his own Metta Editions label from Melbourne.  Those who have seen his most recent performances will make more sense of this with sample collages of film and audio, composed and broken sound.

I then moved onto Warren Burt, mr Old School who moved from San Diego to Melbourne in 1975 and immediately set about stirring up the local experimental musicians assisting in the setup of the Clifton Hill Community Arts Centre from whence the likes of Phillip Brophy and Ernie Althoff hail.

Tonight I played a selection from his recent release for Phil Niblock's Xperimental Intermedia label, "The Animation of Lists and the Archytan Transcriptions".  Over two sides this disc features expansive compositions for tuned metal bars and can be listened to as both modern serial music and ambient drone. ...

Audiopollen 06 September 2006

Tonight we played a mish mash of electro-acoustic, concrete and esoteric musicks.

We opened with 3 tracks from Tod Dockstader's recent Aerial#3 (Sub Rosa) entitled "dissent", "howl" and "wheeze".  These tracks come from about a decades worth of Shortwave scanning and are quite startling and evocative.  Mutated choirs, agressive robot drills and electronic chanting.

Lionel Marchetti's "Visions Nocturnae" followed up from his recent, charmingly packaged 3 x 3" cd set Red Dust set (Crouton).  Marchetti approaches musique concrete with a sense of humour and modern technology and the result sounds far less stuffy than ye olde skool.

Irr App Ext's "A Confluence of Trivialities Coagulate Into an Unspeakable Whole" from "Their Little Bones, Becoming Sharp, Find Repose but Fail to Avoid Worrying a Breach in the Ghostly Skin, the Which Separates That Above from That Below (this being The Last and Final Seal) and Whereupon All Light...

The Wicker Man.......remake

For those of you who have no understanding of the Hollywood movie remaking machine, perhaps I can explain how this film came about. This remake is actually a sequel to Nicholas Cage's The Weather Man which was itself a remake of Kevin Kline's The January Man, but set in February. The January Man was a thinly disguised remake of Paul Newman's The Mackintosh Man (which was a prequel to Spider Man) in which a man is bitten by a radioactive raincoat and gains all the superpowers of said garment – repelling water, drip dry capabilities for example. This was based on the detective movie The Thin Man, later remade as The Thin Woman, which replaced the male protagonist with a female gumshoe suffering from anorexia nervosa and motivated by a need to prove herself in a man's world of burgers and fries and milkshakes.

Cage's The Wicker Man is the fifth in his ongoing series of "man" or "men" films in which he plays "a man" or one of a group of "men." These include the previously... Read more

Skon gets theoretical

Loop - a Chilean site with reviews and interviews relating to experimental sound and art have reviewed my album Mise En Scene here:

and interviewed me here:

I think all the time spent justifying my existent has finally paid off with a relatively coherent thesis - what do you think?
