ah sounds interesting next Spark party will host Tennis and Benge so you should have fun... philippe Tennis is Benge (real name Ben Edwards) and si-{cut}.db (real name Douglas Benford), two renown solo sonic artists in their own rights; Tennis is part of an on-going London based collaboration exploring digital and electro-acoustic sounds and rhythms combined with 21st century audio software. All tracks are recorded at Benge's Expanding Studio bunker. "Wooden Sweets" was the first Tennis release on the Cologne label ElectroChemicalResearch. The latest album is entitled "Europe on Horseback", and shows a progression of the "Tennis sound" into a harder more digital/glitchy but accesible rhythmic realm, with dub and german influences to the fore. Tennis have already played a few gigs, one of which was was supporting Vladislav Delay in London. Tennis have also jammed on Coldcut's pirate.tv and provided a mix for their Solid Steel radio show. Benge aka Ben Edwards Ben started recording as Benge in 1995 and set up Expanding Records to release his own cds. In 1998 he signed a deal with Sub Rosa to release Benge albums, and has also appeared on their 'Substantia' series of compilations. A Benge album will released on Sprawl in the future. His albums on SUB ROSA are "The very best of..." and "silicon valleys". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
