Momolot – Momolot 2

Momolot – Momolot 2
[UPL 039]

Momolot

“Momolot 2”

The material, recorded not long after the first album, represents a different face of Momo and Jan Strach: This time the band presents more song-orientedforms, awkwardly yet charmingly juggling styles and feelings. More or less rocking songs struggle between folk, disco, southern rythms and even punk. Momo on vocals in songs 1 and 6.

Medo’s Little Trap – Medicine Sound

Medo’s Little Trap – Medicine Sound
[LBN014]

Medo’s Little Trap

“Medicine Sound”

A medicine sound against humanity that screams and shouts.
A small work which is like a whisper, re-discovering the basic things to say.
A delicate work, between electro-pop, acoustic ballads and symphonic bewilderment.
Released March 17, 2012 by La bèl netlabel.

Wapstan & Hal McGee – Cruststain

Wapstan & Hal McGee – Cruststain
[ctrlvlv#035]

Wapstan & Hal McGee

“Cruststain”

CrustStain consists of paired 62-minute microcassette recordings by Wapstan (Martin Sasseville, Montreal, Quebec) and Hal McGee (Gasinesville, Florida). In early 2012 Wapstan recorded random and varied sounds from his daily life in Montreal (including radio and TV and sporting events, machine sounds, minimal electronics, etc.) in collage fashion on a microcassette and mailed it to McGee. McGee listened to Wapstan’s tape once through to get the general feeling of the flow of the sounds, and then he set about recording sounds from his daily life, from work, home, streets, restaurants, stores, conversations, etc. After McGee completed his tape he mixed his and Wapstan’s tapes together strictly on a one-to-one basis, arbitrarily, creating a happy-accident lo-fi crusty bruitistic dual-track juxtaposition celebration of the mundane drenched in tape hiss audio collage.

Fires Were Shot – Maritime

Fires Were Shot – Maritime
[NS047]

Fires Were Shot

“Maritime”

Fires Were Shot are an amazing instrumental duo from Texas, United States. Their sound can be categorized as textural, guitar driven ambient music. No-Source Netlabel is excited to debut Fires Were Shot’s long-form single, “Maritime” to the world. Fans of Cheer, talkingmakesnosense, or Brian McBride (of Stars of the Lid) will instantly fall in love with the sound of Fires Were Shot. Maritime, at over twenty eight minutes, takes you on a journey out to sea and back. Field recordings of the ocean are quickly engulfed by layer upon layer of guitar drones, delay and plucking. While out in the waters surrounded by the deep, you find yourself at last. This is melodic acoustic drone that should be held up right next to the very best.

Aufruf zu nichts / Open call for nothing

Aufruf zu nichts / Open call for nothing

 

Ein Aufruf von geh8 Kunstraum und Ateliers e.V. in Dresden (english version):

Aufruf zu nichts

Im fünften Jahr der Aktivitäten von geh8 Kunstraum und Ateliers e.V. in Dresden und dem 100.Geburtstag von John Cage legen wir eine kleine Serie von Veranstaltungen auf, die wir dem nichts im Allgemeinen und im Besonderen widmen.
Darunter ist die internationale Ausstellung NIEMANDSLAND: All Dies und Nichts vom 15.6.-8.7.2012 und die zweiteilige Serie nichts – in Pieschen. Der erste Teil wird am 19. Mai mit einer performativen Lesung der Cageschen’ lecture on nothing starten – darauf folgend als Hauptteil ein Screening von Video-Beiträgen zu nichts. Der zweite Teil findet in Form eines wandernden Symposiums während der NIEMANDSLAND-Ausstellung vom 22.-24. Juni im Stadtgebiet Pieschen statt. Weitere Infos folgen.

Für den nichts-Filmabend am 19. Mai starten wir ab sofort den offenen Aufruf kontextbezogene Beiträge bis 6. Mai einzusenden. Es gibt keine Beschränkung, außer, dass sie in einem gängigen DVD-Player mit P.A. abspielbar sein müssen und sinnvollerweise eher kürzer sein sollten, da wir auf eine spannende Auswahl hoffen und möglichst viele Filme zeigen möchten – natürlich ist aber die Auseinandersetzung mit nichts DAS Auswahlkriterium.

Jedes intelligente, interessante, innovative nichts ist gern gesehen oder gehört – in jeder Verortung, mit offenem Bezug. Wir möchten uns mit nichts weiter beschäftigen, vernetzen, Botschafter gewinnen – um aus unserer Situation und unsrem Potential zukünftig nichts machen zu können. Wir hoffen auf rege Beteiligung und könnten uns gut vorstellen, die entstandenen Ergebnisse später auf die Reise zu schicken und damit auch an andere interessierte Initiativen nichts zu vermitteln. Wir sind sehr gespannt, was wir zu sehen bekommen werden und hoffen damit sowohl frühere, gegenwärtige – möglicherweise auch zukünftige Kooperationspartner zu erreichen und zu gewinnen – ganz gleich, wer uns bereits kennt oder auch nicht – jede/r ist willkommen einen Beitrag zu schicken!

Vorschläge, Videos, Konzepte bitte
bis 6.5.2012 (Einsendeschluss) an unsere Postadresse:

geh8 kunstraum und ateliers e.V.
Gehestr. 8
01127 Dresden-Pieschen

Vimeo-links sind auch möglich, ebenso der Download von externen Servern – bitte KEINE Videos per Mail senden!

Fragen und sachdienliche Hinweise gern an mail @ geh8.de richten
Betreff: “nichts.”


 

Open call from geh8 Kunstraum und Ateliers e.V. in Dresden:

Open call for nothing

In the fifth year of the activities of geh8 art space and studio e.V. in Dresden and the 100th anniversary of John Cage, we put on a small series of events that we devote to nothing in general and in particular.

Among them is the international exhibition NIEMANDSLAND: All Dies und Nichts (NO MAN’S LAND: All This and Nothing) from June 15th – July 8th, 2012 and the two-part series nothing – in Pieschen. The first part is on May 19th with a performative reading of Cage’s lecture on nothing – afterwards a screening of a video reagrding nothing content. The second part takes the form of a traveling symposium during the NIEMANDSLAND exhibition from June 22nd – 24th taking place in the city of Pieschen. More information will follow.

For nothing – Movie Night on May 19th we now open the call for contextual contributions to be sent until May 6th. There is no limit, except that videos must be formatted to play on a standard consumer DVD player with a P.A. and should be relatively short in length, as we look forward to an exciting variety and want to show as many films as possible – but the selection criteria is of course dealing with the concept of nothing.

Every intelligent, interesting and innovative work like nothing seen or heard – in any localization, is open for reference. We would deal with nothing more to receive a networking ambassador – to get out of a stuation and potential furture of doing nothing. We hope you will consider participating and could also convey this call to others interested in nothing initiatives. We are very excited to receive your entries – no matter who knows us already or not – anyone is welcome to contribute to send!

Suggestions, videos, please send until
May 6th, 2012 (deadline) to our postal address:

geh8 art space and studios e.V.
Gehestr. 8
01127 Dresden Pieschen
Germany

Vimeo- links are also possible, as the download from external servers – please DO NOT send videos by email!

Questions and other pertinent information addressed to mail @ geh8.de at the attention

The Plastic Jazz Orchestra – 39°

The Plastic Jazz Orchestra – 39°
[hpcd096]

The Plastic Jazz Orchestra

“39°”

“When talking about music with people, for saying things like “this beat is taken from …” i often get replys like: “yeah maybe, but i like it anyways.” If there wouldn’t be these “but, anyways” i’d be fine with it. We’re all stuck in the 18th century mentally. In the Middle Ages “componere” still had the original meaning of “to enclose”. It was taken for granted to derive new chorales from older ones. Usually parts of such compounds were composed but not completely new works. Whole works were crafted (=facere) which is a facile idea of mechanic humility, something we should care about.”
(Bernd Burnson)

The Plastic Jazz Orchestra was formed by Bernd Burnson in late 2006 as an ensemble electronique for modern music. Tragically Bernd Burnson passed away in summer 2007 and left behind a bunch of young people determined to create something completely different, something new in terms of musical expression. So the tracks from ’39°’ by The Plastic Jazz Orchestra had never been compositions in their origins but handcrafted pieces of what we call music.

Fature – Bad Form

Fature – Bad Form
[FNet034]

Fature

“Bad Form”

A lot of Fature’s fifth album pays tribute to the pioneers of the West London and Broken Beat music scene and is heavily influenced by artists like Domu, 4Hero and Mr Scruff. “Bad Form” takes on a more stylistic and jazzy approach to his previous albums but also has sprinkles of Ambient and Drum ‘n Bass to exhibit his many talents.
