Twine, Andrew Duke and The BiP_Hop Generation v.5 are getting more and more positive
reviews.
Spaceheads and Wang Inc. Albums should be in your favourite stores by now
At the end of July, I was pleased to finally have a chance to witness Spaceheads and
Max Eastley play together. For their first show in France, open air at the
prestigious MIMI festival, on the Frioul Island off the Marseille coast. It went
amazingly well, with some epic ambient music improvised by the trio. Some parts
reminded me of Ennio Morricone, circa the 70s, when he sounded menacing and
extra-terrestrial
ie. Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura, for instance. Brilliant ! High
time to start thinking of a sequel to their critically-acclaimed The time of the
ancient astronaut
We are proud to announce the exceptional meeting-again of Max Eastley and David Toop,
who will team up in Reciprocess. Their first collaboration dates from 1974, on
Brian Enos label. Second one was in the early 90s. The third one will take place
sometimes in 2003
The Spaceheads also played some shows as a duo, and you can see some pix of their 4th
appearance at Batofar :

We had announced the release of an album by KPT Michigan which finally wont see the
light of day on the label. Some of you might be disappointed but we are not
responsible of Michaels change of mind. We are sorry since we had already worked on
it, promoted his name and enjoyed our meeting
Life goes on, and we are finalising
artwork for the following records to appear LATER in the Fall :
Angel (Ilpo Vaisanen + Schneider TM) : s/t [bleep 16]______ due out in October
Angel is the collaborative project of Dirk Dresselhaus (commonly known as Schneider
TM) and Ilpo Väisänen (1/2 of Pan Sonic). Freeform-soul music, made with Ilpos
selfmade analog-sythesizer (typewriter), cd-player and the most fucked up electric
guitar Schneider could find. They improvise live and create a real poundin' mixture
of old industrial, minimal, or noisy wall of sound.
Tonne : soundtoys < open source [v.1] > [bleep 17]______ due out in October
Music by Scanner, Hakan Lidbo, Si-cut.db, Tonne
Paul Farrington had developped The original Soundtoys software as a research work at
the Royal College of Art in London. He wanted to make his own software with
applications in a design environment. The project is designed to allow musicians to
diversify their working methods in using the Soundtoy software to generate new work.
The audio side has two tracks by each artist created using the software, each very
different in manner and explication.
The CD contains the original Soundtoys software and sounds that were used in the
creation of the tracks, so you have access to all original sounds that were used by
the artists.
Scanner + Tonne : sound polaroids [bleep 18]______ due out in October
Images and sound were recorded in London and this data was then processed using
software that converts the pixels of an image into sound, giving the user the ability
to paint with sound and compose with light. Such a graphical approach suggested the
use of digital images taken across the city as photographic sounds, or 'sound
polaroids.' Using a database of the original source material Scanner & Tonne then
actively took the show on the road and created live performances following a similar
system. Experience their view of London, Milano, Tokyo, Montreal and New-York
BiP_HOp Generation [v.6] [bleep 19]______ due out in November
Last volume in the first series of what has now become the classiest collection of
contemporary electronica
SCANNER (uk) / ILPO VAISANEN (Fi) / ANGEL (De/Fi) / BATTERY OPERATED (Ca) / ALEJANDRA
& AERON (US/Es) / BITTONIC (De)
Tennis : fur lines (includes a free CD of remixes) [bleep 20/21]______ due out in
December
Their new and third album + a free second CD packed with remixes of tracks that
appeared on europe on horseback by Komet, Scanner, Taylor Deupree, Oren Ambarchi,
Electronicat, Pimmon, Jetone
and many other starring almost 70 minutes of tennis
decompositions
May the force be with you
