Vladislav Delay live at SAVANA CLUB #2

via

There’s not any noticeable virtuoso performance to look at, necessarily, but in some sense I think you get an impression of him feeling his way through the music, and travel along that walk with him.

Music: Machinefabriek "Kreukeltape"
http://www.machinefabriek.nu/

Text: Sandra Moskova

The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating
a moving sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person. For
our work we asked a dancer to visualize a musical piece (Kreukeltape by
Machinenfabriek) as closely as possible by movements of her body. She was
recorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the
images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud),
so we were able to use the collected data throughout the further process.
The three-dimensional image allowed us a completely free handling of the
digital camera, without limitations of the perspective. The camera also reacts
to the sound and supports the physical imitation of the musical piece by the
performer. She moves to a noise field, where a simple modification of the
random seed can consistently create new versions of the video, each offering
a different composition of the recorded performance. The multi-dimensionality
of the sound sculpture is already contained in every movement of the dancer,
as the camera footage allows any imaginable perspective.

The body – constant and indefinite at the same time – “bursts” the space
already with its mere physicality, creating a first distinction between the self
and its environment. Only the body movements create a reference to the
otherwise invisible space, much like the dots bounce on the ground to give it
a physical dimension. Thus, the sound-dance constellation in the video does
not only simulate a purely virtual space. The complex dynamics of the body
movements is also strongly self-referential. With the complex quasi-static,
inconsistent forms the body is “painting”, a new reality space emerges whose
simulated aesthetics goes far beyond numerical codes.

Similar to painting, a single point appears to be still very abstract, but the
more points are connected to each other, the more complex and concrete
the image seems. The more perfect and complex the “alternative worlds” we
project (Vilém Flusser) and the closer together their point elements, the more
tangible they become. A digital body, consisting of 22 000 points, thus seems
so real that it comes to life again.

Algoraves

Накратко, парти в което музиката се пише на живо, в код.

Algoraves focus on humans making and dancing to music. Algorave musicians don’t pretend their software is being creative, they take responsibility for the music they make, shaping it using whatever means they have. More importantly the focus is not on what the musician is doing, but on the music, and people dancing to it. Algoraves embrace the alien sounds of raves from the past, and introduce alien, futuristic rhythms and beats made through strange, algorithm-aided processes.

Напомням за закона от 1994-та, който прави тези партита нелегални.

Ms. Lauryn Hill: yes, I am working on new music

It took years for me to get out of the ‘parasitic’ dynamic of my youth, and into a deal that better reflects my true contribution as an artist, and (purportedly) gives me the control necessary to create a paradigm suitable for my needs. I have been working towards this for a long time, not just because of my current legal situation, but because I am an artist, I love to create, and I need the proper platform to do so.

Припомням и онази случка с Prince.

След като Rough Trade пуснаха слух, че в полунощ срещу 27-ми април в магазина ще се случи нещо свързано с Boards of Canada, появилите се на място получиха копие от изцепката на NPR. Преди два дни последните пропуснаха да обявят на коя позиция е включеното в подкаста им число. Rough Trade прожектираха видео със символите XXXXXX/------/------... срещу входа на магазина си заедно със записа "699742".

Най-официалната страница, макар и по-рядко обновявана, е поместена на bocpages.org. Темата обаче се движи най-бързо на форума Twoism, от където до тук са най-интересните разкрития.

Аз лично не вярвам, че албумът ще се нарича Cosecha.

------/------/------/xxxxxx/------/------

2020k имат най-чудната страница относно скорошната игра на Boards of Canada - шест кратки парчета, които са пръснати по всякакви места, включително на плочи, издадени специално за Record Store Day. Предполага се че в пълния си вид числата са код към предстоящата дата на излизане на албума. Или нещо друго. На официалния сайт, естествено, няма нищо по въпроса.

Теориите в коментарите са смазващи.

BBC за гората и цигулките

Прекрасен материал и чудесен подкаст (13 април), на сайта на BBC.

Now 83, he still climbs trees like a squirrel, and tends the forest as if it were his garden - weeding out the beech trees that would smother his precious spruces. [...] Pellegrini "gardens" the forest, as he puts it. But he gardens for people who will not be born for hundreds of years. So that there will be fine resonance spruce in the 24th Century.

Anechoic chamber порно

For your viewing pleasure here comes almost 30 images from air and space related anechoic chambers from around the world, from the most silent places on Earth.

Усещането да си в такова пространство е страхотно. За жалост в тях се стъпва трудно и твърде за кратко.

John Beltran - Seasons Go

Миналото си е там, добре е, и според мен си изкарва страхотно. Чуй и Beautiful & Bloom след това. Ако на този сайт имаше категории, това щеше да е в "доказателства че определенията са за идиоти".

John Beltran's 'Amazing Things' will be released the 18th of March 2013 as a 2xLP + bonus 10" Limited Edition, 2xLP, CD and in digital formats.

==

After the well-received and career-spanning compilation that was 2011's Ambient Selections, John Beltran returns with a brand new album entitled Amazing Things, due for released on Delsin records in March 2013.

As a life long pioneer of ambient soundscapes, blissful downbeat and stirring techno, Michigan born John Beltran already has his place in history assured with a bulging back catalogue that takes in influential releases on vital labels like Peacefrog and R&S. This new 17-track album sees the man draw on his lifetime in music to craft an immediately timeless body of work that's stuffed with genuine musicality, pregnant with emotion and laden with organic blissfulness.

Since Beltran’s last original full length, he admits a lot has changed. "I'm using all new gear and virtual synths that I didn't have when writing Human Engine so it sounds different for sure. And let's just say that this album still wouldn't be finished had a friend not turned me on to the software Omnisphere."

Despite new tools and techniques, Beltran’s touch still shines through in his floating arrangements, opposing textures and organic resonance, as do the continued influences of favourite artists including Four Tet, Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood.

"There was no real plan [for the album]. Some of these songs ("Clouds Pull") are over two years old. This album is truly an accumulation of music inspired by my life as a new father but I didn't write these songs for an album per say. I guess it was just written with a lot of love."

Love - and feelings thereof - permeate the album from start to finish. Tracks like opener "Retrouvailles" immediately submerge you into a utopian world with the distant sound of a playground coming over like the backdrop to a daydream, whilst more kinetic, splintered efforts like "Het Leven is Mooi" recall the aforementioned patchwork beauty of Four Tet, and "Flower Power Submarine" carries you along on a warm summer breeze.

Importantly, dark is contrast with light throughout, so more sombre, melancholic drifts like "For Vangelis" sit next to the more uplifting violins and raindrop melodies of "Broken Machines". Overall a mature and hugely resonant album for grown-ups, Amazing Things is full of just that.

submerse LFTF Mix

И докато сме на темата за Submerse..

Tokyo-based producer Rob Orme aka Submerse is extremely passionate about music. One only has to look at the fact that he has been involved in more than 15 releases since adopting his current moniker some four years ago. That passion is made even more clear with his latest release for Project Mooncircle, his Algorithms and Ghosts EP.

The EP takes inspiration from spending time in the city that he currently calls home. "I took a lot of inspiration from three main points of Tokyo City. There are traditional parks and shrines/temples that really take you away from the high-rise buildings and make you feel like you could be in the countryside. Next, there are typical shops, neon lights, offices and general city life, and lastly, there is the red light area which is a great place to see all walks of life, from gangsters, working girls and strange things behind closed doors. I'm fascinated by this place. It seems like another world to me. I'm always drawn to it out of curiosity, and the feeling I get while passing though is really inspiring." His latest mix for us takes inspiration from that same city. Close your eyes and imagine walking through the crowded streets of one of the world's most dense cities while listening to LFTF Mix #21 by the incredibly talented producer Submerse.
