2011-09-30T16:10:00.001+01:00

Reue Um Reue - RUR010 - 2 × LP, Limited Edition, Compilation

DISCOGS : "Born in late 1997 the Vienna-based Nový Svět set out to bring some confusion into the so-called industrial uniformity. The group is neither tied to any musical style nor to any language. Each of the five albums released (Rumorarmonio, Faccia a faccia, Cuori di petrolio, Venezia, Chappaqua) introduced the always growing audience to a new aspect of the group.
Nový Svět was one of the very first projects to be released on Albin Julius' Hau Ruck! label where it found a home for its own recordings but also for many collaborations with other groups from the label's roster (Mushroom's Patience, Dernière Volonté, Foresta Di Ferro). Until today, Nový Svět has been pushing the limits of musical categories aside to establish a unique mixture of folk, experimental and haunting neo-surrealism."

2011-08-31T09:25:00.004+01:00

Aquilifer Sodality - 0AE 03058 - 7"
ULTRA (Dr. Tengelmann, Herr Mücke & St. Degeneratus aka R Stanford King, Wesley Mark & Jon Carlson) is an "experimental/noise US outfit. Ultra creates deeply anxious collages of sound and voice in a mixture of fear and beauty. There are some places where they scream their faces off, but mostly it is the nature of the sounds themselves: hordes of insects, demonic sighs, electric buzzes, rumbles, creaking that gets under your skin and into your head, whether you want it to or not." (discogs)
The first released was a live cassette in 1986 on Christoph Heemann's DOM label, before running DOM AMERICA, still active nowadays.

After composition studies and university degrees in the USA, he went to Europe to study electronic and serial music with Karlheinz Stockhausen. Several years later, he returned to New York where his first recordings were made with minimalist masters La Monte Young and Terry Riley, through whom he met the Hindustani raga master, Pandit Pran Nath, and embarked on a lifelong quest to transmute his teacher's Kirana vocal mastery into a new trumpet sound and style. In the last two decades, he has recorded albums which have, over the years, become so widely appropriated that many of their innovations have become woven anonymously into the texture of contemporary music high and low."

Tracklist
A1 Toucan Ocean
A2 Viva Shona
A3 Hex
A4 Blues Nile
B1 Vernal Equinox
B2 Caracas Night September 11, 1975

"[Vernal Equinox] introduced what Hassell called his "fourth world" style, one that unified world music with advanced electronic and futuristic techniques. Subsequent albums have further developed this vision.
"Toucan Ocean" opens with gentle steady percussion and two chords. Soon the muted and modified trumpet joins in with a charming birdcall-like timbre.
"Viva Shona" has a recording of a bird evironment with the trumpet making distant calls. A complex but gentle Mbira (African thumb piano) part soon enters.
"Hex" has a quasi-random funky bass with percussion that is both steady and like snake rattles and hisses. An electronically-modified trumpet makes a deep bamboo flute-like sound that evokes spirits.
"Blues Nile" against a drone, a sorrowful yet dignified melody is played and delayed in deep reverb as if across the desert vastness.
"Vernal Equinox" is a 22-minute improvisation in the spirit of a raga with a long arhythmic first section (alap) and a gentle rhythmic second section. The trumpet is backed up by a gentle electronic drone and excellent laid-back tabla, dumbek and conga playing.
"Caracas Night September 11, 1975" opens with an environmental recording of crickets at night over which a soulful trumpet solo with gentle conga underscoring is played." [AMG]

Walter Ruttmann (1887-1941) was a german director, screenwriter, cinematographer and editor. As a filmmaker, he created an impressionistic symphony with his experimental portrait of Berlin in 1927 Berlin, die Sinfonie der Großstadt.
His unique musical composition Weekend is a pioneering work from the early days of radio, commissioned in 1928 by Berlin Radio Hour. In a collage of words, music fragments and sounds, Walter Ruttmann presented a radically innovative radio piece (Hörspiel) as an acoustic film of a Berlin weekend urban landscape. (discogs) Disapeared for a long time, a copy was discovered in 1978 and showed how innovative was this piece !
Intermedium Records is a german label of avant-garde and radioplays records. These remixes were commissioned for the Bayerischer Rundfunk.

TTW#18
Cassette only - limited edition of 250 copies
Track listing:
A: Mesmer - 21m05s
B: Mesmer - 19m17s
Written by Peter Rehberg. Recorded summer 1995 Mego Studio, Vienna.

"Peter Rehberg's first ever solo composition, originally released in 1995 as part of "mesmervariations", a (long-deleted) double CD by Ash International presented in an oversized plastic wallet with eight card inserts. That release contained various original compositions influenced by the work of Friedrich Mesmer, and included pieces by Ryoji Ikeda, Gescom, Edvard Graham Lewis, Robert Hampson, Bruce Gilbert, C M von Hausswolff and Drome (Bernd Friedmann). The artists featured on this release were given a copy of the vinyl recording "Mesmer" (Ash 1.8) and asked to compose a piece influenced by the work of Friedrich Mesmer the 19th Century 'animal magnetist and hypnotist'. The brief was - there is no brief; method and style were left entirely to the discretion of the composer. Rehberg's contribution is reproduced in its entirety here, the B-side of the cassette containing a copy of the weathered dubplate of the track he cut in 1996 for personal DJ use."

LEIF ELGGREN - ALL ANIMALS ARE SAINTS (2010)

2011-06-13T12:00:00.000+01:00

TTW14 - cassette
cassette only - limited edition of 250 copies

On the 27th of May 1992 at 12 noon GMT, alongside Carl Michael Von Hausswolff, Leif Elggren proclaimed the Kingdom of Elgaland-Vargaland, a new country established as a work of art.

"Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren has become one of the most constantly surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer, visual artist, stage performer and composer, he has many albums to his credits, solo and with the Sons of God, on labels such as Ash International, Touch, Radium and his own Firework Edition. His music, often conceived as the soundtrack to a visual installation or experimental stage performance, usually presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can range from mesmerizingly quiet electronics to harsh noise. His wide-ranging and prolific body of art often involves dreams and subtle absurdities, social hierarchies turned upside-down, hidden actions and events taking on the quality of icons." (wikipedia)

COLOR RABBIT/TRETETAM - SPLIT CASSETTE (2010)

2011-06-10T10:50:00.000+01:00

Ikuisuus / IKASUS-014 / Finland
Ikuisuus is A Finnish label releasing mostly experimental, psychedelic and ambient music on CD, CDR, CS and LP.
"North Carolina's Tretetam is a quietly abstract affair. Tretetam relies primarily on synth and found sounds, accompanied occasionally by other instruments as he crafts ambient pieces to occupy the space between conscious and subconscious.
Tretetam's self-titled is a sporadic in nature. Never straying from his synth and found sounds, he uses these to paint various fragments of portraits that make up the disconnect between reality and dream." (Foxy digitalis)
"Color Rabbit : Psychedelic jams, synthesizer melodies, varieties of acoustic sounds and intriguing soundscapes not unlike what you'd hear emitting from a space farm of acid-addicted critters. A progressive, fut...uristic conglomeration of instrumentation stuck in the late 60's."-Justing Marc Lloyd (Rainbow Bridge)
Color Rabbit : heavy sounded like psychedelic rock, freak rock, Kraut rock / Tretetam : tastes like industrial music sound collages meet hypnagogic pop.

L'objectif de cette exposition est de démonter la persistance et la vivacité de la pratique de la peinture en France aujourd'hui. La succession des mouvements d'avant-garde, depuis la modernité, avait pu faire croire à la disparition de la peinture au profit d'autres pratiques. Or, la peinture persiste. Les productions de ces peintres attestent qu'ils ont su assimiler les leçons - les plus prégnantes voire les plus radicales- de l'histoire de cet art.

2011-04-28T11:25:00.002+01:00

Many thanks to Thorsten Soltau (m.m label) for sharing this compilation with us. Read the message below for more details.

Here we go……
as a tiny gift to armeur H/alice rabbit and the vault plundering Rainier m.m decided to share a second time some plunderphonical gems from the archives for further treatments and combinations.

the dictaphonic samples are from a dictaphone I borrowed from a friend some time ago. since the original tape was erased and overwritten with some hilarious spoken word jams I decided to save the best parts for me- the result can be heard on a four-tracker ep released in a run of only 23 copies.
since the material will not be used again this is a rare treat to work with some very intimate sources. since the owner of the tape would like to remain anonymous I had to select some recordings out.

the suspiria track is a cut-up I made for a picture disc. the sound was directly taken from an old german vhs rip- the vhs cvlt has arrived on m.m.

all these sounds are free to use. please be so fair and credit the source with my name when you use it commercially.

thanks for so much music and stay creative!

Böhmler is agerman artist, born in 1939 and living in Hamburg. He studied at the academies of arts Stuttgart and Duesseldorf and was pupil of Joseph Beuys. From 1974 to 2005 he was a professor at Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg.
"Böhmler was one of the first artists in Germany, who were interested in modern techniques of the picture reproduction. By simply asking for the mechanisms of the technology and by playing with the possibilities of the medium he makes attentive on rules and functions, which escape the perception otherwise usually. Its handling radio, cassette device, camera, film or video camera is ironical." (worldlingo.com)

2011-03-05T11:23:00.001+01:00

Impulse was a magazine published by Mark Crumby (member of the Industrial band Konstruktivists founded by Glenn Michael Wallis, early member of Whitehouse and involved in the early TG experience) dedicated to non-mainstream electronic music (1991-1996).
A compilation of sound collage, spoken word, proto-techno, noise rock, industrial music and alt J-pop.
Tracklist
1 Bodychoke - Whore
2 Secret Archives Of The Vatican - I Often Wonder Am I ...Mad ?

* Bodychoke : Kevin Tomkins (Sutcliffe Jügend, Whitehouse), Paul Taylor, Gary Kean, Jamie Hitchens, and Mike Alexander. Dark, violent and intense "rock" based material.
* Secret Archives Of The Vatican : Vince Millett, Louis Counter

* Jack Or Jive : Founded in 1989, this japanese band only has two members, Chako and Makoto Hattori. While Makoto remains mostly behind the scenes handling technical aspects of the music, Chako is a visual spectacle of wild or spikey hair, flowing priestess gowns, strange talismans and heavy, morbidly styled makeup.
* Alan Moore, regarded by many as the greatest ever comic-book writer ("Watchmen", "V for Vendetta" and "From Hell"), Moore has also shown a major interest in magick and the occult and has worked with a number of musicians to release his particular philosophies in musical form, like Tim Perkins (who recorded 5 records with A. Moore) and David J (Bauhaus, The Jazz Butcher, Love And Rockets, The Sinister Ducks)
* 70 Gwen Party : Experimental rock band from UK, centered around guitarist Victor N'Dip.
*Tea Culture : English experimental sound collage group, based around a duo of Neil Davies and Phil Todd. Primitive version of turntablism.

Bruit de fonds

Rainier's new sound project "Bruit de fonds" for The LaM Museum (Lille's Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary Art & Art Brut) is waiting for your contributions, dear followers !

Go to the website : http://lericolais.musee-lam.fr/, listen to the Rainier's songs, download, remix and subject your propositions by e-mail to lericolais/at/musee-lam.fr or by uploading directly your production via the comment of the remixed work.

>>Si vous souhaitez contribuer au projet de Rainier Lericolais pour le LaM (Musée d'Art moderne de Lille, récemment rouvert après quelques années de fermeture pour travaux), téléchargez le(s) morceau(x) proposé(s) , remixez le(s) et soumettez votre proposition par mail à : lericolais@musee-lam.fr ou bien en téléchargeant directement votre production via le commentaire de l’œuvre remixée.<<

"Rainier Lericolais decided to monitor the life of the museum when it was closed, drawing his inspiration from the nature of the collections, as well as its scientific and cultural project. However, what he has produced is not a literal illustration of the collections of the LaM using sound or music, but rather an offbeat exploration based on the theme of background noise.
Stopping at certain works in the course of the conversation and interviews, Rainier Lericolais tackles them by drawing on his data bank of sounds: fragments of voice, bits of overheard conversations, audio “cut-outs” in the sound texture of a place or a piece of music. The artist intends to produce an album consisting of twelve tracks of sounds that can be downloaded or
podcast from the museum’s website. Like an audio CD, this album will provide a metaphorical, sentimental and non-narrative commentary, in the form of an “audio stroll” around the collections in the months before the reopening of the LaM."

thanks wikipedia : "Born 1953, Riccardo Sinigaglia is an architect as well as musician. He teaches electronic music at Milan Conservatory. He collaborates with the video center of the Faculty of Architecture, Milan University, where he lectures on the relationship between music and image.
His work is based on modes, mean tone, pythagorean scales and complex polyrhythmics: he is deeply involved in ethnomusicology, the elements of which are revisited and employed in his musical language.
In the 80s, together with Walter Maioli and Gabin Dabiré, he founded the group Futuro Antico, a cross between electronic and ethno shamanic music. In 1985 he founded with Mario Canali, the audio-visual art group Correnti Magnetiche (http://www.aec.at/en/archives/prix_archive/prix_projekt.asp?iProjectID=2409) beginning to work with digital system."

THIRD EAR BAND - NEW FORECAST FROM THE THIRD EAR ALMANAC (1990)

2010-11-22T12:11:00.002+01:00

ADN - RECO1 - cassette
Live recording in Sarzana (SP), Italy, at 'Teatro Impavidi', January 11, 1989

allmusic says : Although they were loosely affiliated with the British progressive rock scene of the late '60s and early '70s, Third Ear Band was in some ways more of an experimental ensemble performing contemporary compositional work.
For one thing, they didn't use electric instruments, or even guitars, instead employing violin, viola, oboe, cello, and hand percussion. More important, they didn't play conventional rock "songs." They featured extended instrumental pieces that often built up from a drone, or hypnotic pattern, to a dense, raga-like crescendo, somewhat in the manner of some of Terry Riley's work.

wikipedia says : Third Eard Band plays an improvised music drawing on Eastern raga forms, European folk, experimental and medieval influences. They recorded their first session in 1968 for Ron Geesin which was released under the pseudonym of The National-Balkan Ensemble.
Their first actual album, Alchemy, was released on the Harvest label in 1969, (featuring John Peel playing Jew's Harp on one track). They recorded in 1971 the soundtrack for Roman Polanski's Macbeth.
After various later incarnations and albums they finally disbanded in 1993.

RE-POST/THE RESIDENTS - THE WARNER BROS. ALBUM

2010-11-10T12:30:00.003+01:00

In 1971 the group sent a reel-to-reel tape to Hal Halverstadt, who worked with Captain Beefheart, at Warner Brothers. Because the band had not included any name in the return address, the rejection slip was simply addressed to "The Residents". The members of the group then decided that this would be the name they would use, first becoming Residents Unincorporated, then shortening it to the current name.
Tonight, they will play in Paris and I'll be there !

alice news: Rainier Lericolais' exhibition in Chamarande

2010-10-24T08:33:00.003+01:00

RAINIER LERICOLAIS : au château et dans la chapelle
Du 24 octobre 2010 au 27 février 2011
Du mercredi au dimanche, de 12h à 17h

VERNISSAGE DIMANCHE 24 OCTOBRE 2010 à 15h30

"Sans être une rétrospective, l'exposition de Rainier Lericolais propose de découvrir l'ensemble des facettes de son travail. L'artiste présente de nouvelles oeuvres et des dispositifs qui révèlent au public le champ de ses propres références.
La bibliothèque se transforme en un cabinet de curiosités dans lequel se dévoile son univers personnel -livres, disques, petits objets et sculptures. Elle côtoie un salon de "dessins" -de tous formats et de toutes techniques- qui vient rivaliser avec l'accumulation de "dépeintures" du grand escalier. Dans ce parcours, des installations, fortement ancrées dans un univers musical, habitent le lieu de manière plus sculpturale.

À l'instar des procédés d'un savant ou d'un chimiste, les oeuvres de Rainier Lericolais relèvent d'expériences mystérieuses voire de la magie. En effet, retracer les cheminements de création ou deviner les étapes préalables à leur réalisation peut se révéler fascinant dans l'approche des réalisations de l'artiste : les oeuvres "en soi" agissent sur le spectateur avec "un certain magnétisme", remarque Didier Arnaudet (Artpress, n°286, janvier 2003).

Car, en musicien qu'il est, Rainier Lericolais "sample" les idées et les matériaux. Il improvise à partir de ce qui fonde "sa" propre culture ; il mixe et re-combine formes ou images à l'infini, au gré de ses influences, de ses rencontres et de ses envies d'expérimentations techniques. Protéiforme, le travail de l'artiste s'exprime dans des oeuvres avant tout graphiques, élégantes et précaires.

Il puise par ailleurs son inspiration dans une culture musicale encyclopédique et dans une approche de la littérature et de l'art, à la fois pleine de curiosité et d'éclectisme. Il donne à voir une oeuvre sophistiquée et légère.
Tour à tour, il rend hommage aux pionniers du cinéma expérimental, aux musiciens et interprètes reconnus ou encore à des labels musicaux plus confidentiels, ceux d'une "contre-culture" qu'il partage avec nombre de créateurs de sa génération.

Communiqué de presse
Au-delà des apparences et de l'imagerie qu'il choisit aussi pour sa beauté, l'artiste -avec sa prédilection pour les matériaux "low tech"- sert un projet rigoureux où se croisent des expérimentations de médiums très divers. On découvre ainsi des dessins réalisés au pistolet à colle, des images de magazines "dépeintes" (imprimées puis "retouchées" avec de l'eau ou du trichloréthylène), des oscillogrammes découpés au cutter dans du carton, des photographies prises d'un écran de télévision au moment où celui-ci s'éteint ou encore des images réalisées à
partir du reflet piégé de la lumière d'un scanner.
Dans cette démarche d'expérimentation lucide et construite, le hasard n'est bien sûr pas étranger. En témoignent les dessins et gravures réalisés par "contact" (frottages, grattages) ou les recherches "improbables" qui permettent à Rainier Lericolais de tester la matière, notamment avec un bronze réalisé à partir de paraffine solidifiée dans le mouvement de l'eau avant d'être moulée. Enfin, ce que l'artiste nomme lui-même les "petites solutions" sont des procédés qu'il invente ou éprouve avec ingéniosité, et qui assure à l'ensemble de son œuvre une indéniable cohérence."

TREVOR WISHART - TONGUES OF FIRE (1994)

2010-10-22T13:34:00.000+01:00

Orpheus The Pantomime - OTP001
Trevor Wishart (born 11 October 1946) is an English composer, based in York who has contributed to composing with digital audio media, both fixed and interactive. He has also written extensively on the topic of what he terms “sonic art,” and contributed to the design and implementation of software tools used in the creation of digital music. Wishart's compositional interests deal mainly with the human voice. This is most evident in his VOX Cycle, Tongues of Fire, Globalalia, Two Women, and American Triptych. He is also an improvisor of extended vocal techniques. (wikipedia)
Tongs of Fire was realised almost entirely on a low cost home computer using software developed by the composer and other participants in the Composers Desktop Project. The final mixdown was planned at the GMEB (Groupe de Musique Expérimental de Bourges, a collective of composers linked with the electro-acoustic & acousmatic research) studio in Bourges, France. The first public performance took place at the 1994 Synthese festival in Bourges.
