isan / ambient techno / non-zc.

hi all. within the last 6 months i've been listening to and finally acquired a copy of the album Lucky Cat, by a sort of ambient/minimal 'techno' (for lack of a better term) group called Isan. i was wondering if anyone out there was familiar with it, and if so what else in this vein s/he could reccomend to me. for those of you who don't know this album/genre, Isan is deep with sine tones and very, very minimal, not danceable 808 beats. it's really beautiful, i would say even to people who deplore 'techno', 'electronica' - it's sort of post-IDM, if such a thing exists. sort of like brian eno with really quiet beats. love, k8. --- [.n0thing.is.what.is.sAid.] k a t e p e t e r s o n c o m p o s e r / p e r f o r m e r http://www.geocities.com/uforbk8/kate.html http://www.icefoundation.org (roundtable)

For those who haven't yet heard, the Librarian of Congress today completely rejected the recording industry's draconian suggestions as regards net radio. Even to those who supported webcasting, a complete rejection came as a welcome surprise. The Librarian now has 30 days to come up with a counter-proposal. Score one for the good guys.

Expect a lot of short vignettes of a Kafka-esque variety. A very interesting recording and completely unlike anything he's done before. Quite humorous as well. Mark Feldman is on violin, Jacqueline Leclair on oboe and English horn, Michael Mosser on cello, Meredith Yayanos on violin, Raph Farris, viola, Erich Schoen-Rene, cello, and Ann De Villiers provides the mocking and erotic vocal interludes. I recommend it. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Though I wasn't there, I'd read Voice Crack's inclusion of voices about Sept. 11 as the manner in which certain events and the sound productions surrounding them as visceral intrusions into aural experience, whether one is aware of them or not. No producer of sounds can really avoid them, and certain sounds, certain words, become like refrains that keep reminding one of the event that just took place. Such sounds also accompany certain emotional reactions, as you noted, like for example, my feeling of nausea when I recall Dubya's bifurcation of the world into being for "us" or for "the terrorists" in his Houston ranch accent. that's where I see the "refrain" intervening in the "narrative" of electroacoustic music. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

jumping beans as performers of avant music?
by Patrice L. Roussel 20 May '02

20 May '02

This should solve the problem of dealing with musician unions. At least for the moment, jumping beans are not socially covered and lower standards of treatment can apply to them. Another proof that there are a lot of social advances needed in this new century :-). Patrice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HET APOLLOHUIS (NETHERLANDS): PANHUYSEN, PAUL: Mexican Jumping Beans CD (APOLLO 16). Four pieces recorded with Mexican Jumping Beans by Paul Panhuysen. "Before leaving Mexico City I bought 200 jumping beans and immediately after our return to Eindhoven I started to experiment with them. In the past I've worked often with animals, with birds, crickets and goats. I also use sensors, timers, solenoids, motors, galvano-meters, solar cells and oscillators to produce sounds. In my music I introduce both creatures and gadgets as independent and sometimes unpredictable musicians and fellow employees. I like to be surprised by the results of my productions, by the animals' behavior. The input of such rather autonomous elements helps to reveal the qualities of universal laws and conditions that define order, structure, chance and expression in a living and changing world. It is curiosity which makes my work come into being. Jumping beans are magical living creatures. I worked with them for a couple of weeks, tried out various recording modes and different effects. The final selection on this CD is rather straightforward. There are four different pieces. For each recording I put 16 jumping beans in 8 containers. Clothes-pins glued on piezo discs were used as contact mikes on each of the containers, which were placed on a sheet of soft foam plastic. The beans were activated by a halogen lamp over the table." -- Paul Panhuysen. $19.00
