i agree, i saw twine @ the big noise last month and was blown away. they would be a great compliment to the AE show in columbus. so whomever is booking it, consider twine. but AE alone would be worth the drive! JD2

yeah, and isn't some Mego dude along with Autechre, DJing? this could give Twine the opportunity to talk some of that shit face to face and show us who's just a hater and who's for real in the IDM scene! -rk ps: http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/twine.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

You mean Russell Haswell? Is he signed up for the whole tour? I'm sort of surprised that he's up and about already.

It's kind of funny that you mentioned this comment- I always assumed it was a joke. I can't imagine why anybody would see heavy similarities between Fennesz and Pita, much less them and Merzbow. -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

The one time I saw Pita live I remember thinking it sounded like a laptop version of Merzbow. Just a barrage of digital noise. Actually, imo I don't find comparing Pita to Merzbow that off the mark. Merzbow did appear on a record on Mego after all. I guess comparing most of Fennesz's work to Merzbow isn't too appropriate, although he doesn't shy away from noise either at times.

I haven't exactly kept up with Merzbow's every move, but I wouldn't ever characterize his music as digital. In fact, I'd go just the opposite- his early stuff tended towards crude-sounding tape music and I always considered his mid 90s output to be a junky approximation of the electroacoustic circuit "environments" built by serious mofos like David Tudor and Roland Kayn. When I saw Pita live, his stuff had a more gestural feel to it and was much more dynamic in pacing (e.g. it wasn't the sustained gush of noise that Merzbow uses as a soundfloor). Overall, I would say his recorded compositions are much denser (in terms of composition, not sound frequencies).

Akita and Azuma (+1) did, but not under the name Merzbow. I assume they didn't use the name because it doesn't really sound at all connected to the Merzbow "thing". You know, like Ae/Gescom. -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Mebbe so, but I still don't think the Merzbow/Pita comparisons are more than skin-deep (whether or not his laptop stuff will be influenced by Pita, I don't know). My point still remains that saying that "Pita doesn't do anything that Merzbow hasn't been doing for years" is an absurd thing to say. If you want to tussle over specific (dis)similarities, we can discuss this over tea and biscuits like civilized men, no? -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Due to the influence of Zbigniew Karkowski, Merzbow use almost nothing but his laptop nowadays. Petter -->http://www.fatbankroll.nu/ --- "R. Lim" <rlim@escape.com> wrote:
