Dear Netbehaviourists, Welcome to the April 09 issue of Furthernoise.org, Furtherfield.org's sister site.
As always we are featuring loads of new music and experimental sound works from a host of UK and international sound artists. Our audio player is again stocked with a brand new selection of sounds, so whether your in spring or autumn sit back and enjoy ! Furthernoise issue April 2009 http://www.furthernoise.org/index.php?iss=78 "Behind the Celer Door" (feature) Celer - California-based couple, Will Long and Dani Baquet-Long - are purveyors of textural ambient with an ever-expanding catalogue testifying to the depth and breadth of their work. Their organic-digital audio-data minings come with a mission statement: “to produce works that reflect the nature of love, family, and their concerns and interests, through a relative and absolute symposium of expression.” http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=286 feature by Alan Lockett "A Fit of the Jerks - Kirameki" (review) Kirameki are two Scottish and Japanese musicians collaborating over the Internet. They're unpredictable, draw on a wide-range of influences, and don't shy away from humourous audio manipulation. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=288 review by Alex Young "Back to Minus - TL041" (review) Back to Minus gurgles and plods along like a large amphibious spaceship. I can hear distant roaring drone of the engine in its belly. TL0741 has a knack for colouring in the same shade of doom song while revealing more and more detail through ever so slowly morphing his effect settings. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=290 review by Derek Morton "Intuitive Music Live in Cologne - Flowers of Now" (review) Recorded live at St. Maternus Church, Cologne, Germany in 2006 Flowers of Now - Intuitive Music Live in Cologne is an album collaboration featuring Luca Formentini (electric guitar), Markus Stockhausen (trumpets), Vera Fischer (flutes), Tara Bouman (clarinets) and Deborah Walker (cello). As a live recording it contains all the signifiers of an environment like this. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=289 review by Roger Mills "Touching the heart of the drone" (review) Chicago-based Haptic is a group of musicians layering drones live, in real time, since 2005. Their music blends into a slowly evolving texture, combining deep resonance with subtle, chaotic percussives, with just enough references to focus attention through the rich, simmering background. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=287 review by Caleb Deupree "Wounded Breath - Erdem Helvacioglu" (review) Wounded Breadth is another immersive sonic experience from one of Turkey's more esteemed sonic sculptors, Erdem Helvacioglu. Where his previous work sounded like heaven's ire, with its processed guitar and a veritable menagerie of blunt yet beautiful electronic textures, Wounded Breadth is a strictly electro-acoustic album of a more aggressive, conceptual bent. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=292 review by Max Schaefer Roger Mills Editor, Furthernoise _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
