Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:19:08 +0100 Recently Google/Blogger took down a number of music blogs, claiming that the owners of the blogs have violated copyright law. One of the blogs, Masalacism, writes a bit about what happened from their perspective, and also shares the letter they received from Blogger.
After word of "musicblogocide 2k10" spread over the internet like wildfire, in part through this techdirt article, and this Guardian article, Blogger released this official statement on their blog. What's most interesting is that even in cases where blog owners had legal permission to post certain music on their site, their blogs were still shut down by Blogger. This should not lead you to believe that they were focused on blogs that posted "pop music", or music that is on any of the top 5 major labels----the case of the Malasacism blog shows just how arbitrary Blogger's moves were. From the Guardian: "We haven't been posting any Whitney Houston or anything," Decouflet explained. He only recalls receiving one DMCA notice – ever – from Blogger. As this email did not name the offending song, he says he doesn't know what caused the complaint. Masala's bloggers responded to Google's email, Decouflet insists, but never heard back. That is, until their entire site – and more than four years of archives – were deleted this week.  Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:39:33 +0100   Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:56:36 +0100 Click on the pic for last night's super bowl radio show. Sorry for the lack of new blog content, but hopefully you'll hear some interesting combinations of music on the radio show.

Serving up sound combinations so dense and fresh you'll wish you had an extra set of ears to take it all in. Good thing for the archives!

Streaming at www.bsrlive.com, or listenable in the Providence area on 88.1 FM.Aesthetically, it sounds like music that steelyard/scrap metal sculpture-people would dance to, if they could dance.  Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:54:52 +0100  Starting January 25th, I’ll be a DJ on Brown University Student and Community Radio, broadcasting on 88.1FM in the Providence, Rhode Island area, and streaming online at www.bsrlive.com. BSR live is a freeform radio station, playing a wide variety of amazing music for the curious listener.  Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:46:09 +0100  From down under, Jennifer Tao at ELEVENELEVEN yet again has posted some music that is just what I'd hope to find. I try fairly hard to keep my posts original,and not operate as a filter blog. But, when something like this comes up, I feel it's a really good thing to share. The album 'Smile Hunter' by Once11, on The Agriculture label, is certainly one of my favorite dubby albums of all time, and this mix contains discarded snippets and outtakes, mistakes, and "woulda-coulda-shouldas" from that album, as well as the general time period from 1999-2009.DOWNLOAD HERE The text from ELEVENELEVEN: Guest Programmer Once11 (Brugges/ Montevideo/ LA) theagriculture.com/once11 Podcast: All Together Wrong About the podcast: “What is on this podcast? Trials, plan B’s, errors and rehearsals, leftovers and whoulda-coulda-shouldas, the stuff remaining under the wet hood: the little fellas that didn’t make it. Sketches, leftovers and drafts: an amalgam of wrongs. This 11 tracks date from 1999 til 2009, since “bounced” they are no longer editable (a couple are mis-mixes from “Smile Hunter”). They are the elaborate trials of my inner professional artistoid, working the “crashing patching and doodling of doing”, on some very nice afternoons (obviously with the intention of making of all the right mistakes) next to the roaches and fliers and the hope filled tool bags of the sleepwalking artisan.” ~ Once11 Once11 (aka Ignacio Platas) born in Montevideo has never stood still for a second. He was an active member of the infamous Brooklyn Williamsburg scene (’90-’93). In 91, after building environments at Keep refrigerated, legendary illegal underground Williamsburg club, he co-founded Lalalandia Entertainment Research Corporation, whose large scale fountains, omnisensorial environments and pneumatic installations have been written about in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Lalalandia made many of the most memorable Brooklyn warehouse after- hours environments of that period. In 1994, he started up Multipolyomni and We™. We™’s ‘97 release “as is” is considered a classic. We™ opened for the Orb that spring. Their third release, “decentertainment” landed them at Barcelona’s Sonar ‘99. Multipolyomni’s ‘97 New York production of the Solar Drama from their opera Quark Soup, projected a massive live view of the sun perpetually rising for 24 hours, broadcast LIVE from 127 consecutive locations as the world turned around once. It hosted 77 live performers and artists on two floors. The Early Aquatic Episode, ‘96 at the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, also from Quark Soup, was hailed by the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as “the only work in scale with the Anchorage”. In 99 he moved to Barcelona and formed a team to find solutions for marrying video game navigation, 3D music interface, audio visualization, hybrid environments, digital architecture, 3D sound, audio localization, and analogue input controllers. He developed the demo sutoolz 1.0 alpha. A 3D software interface for music performance. By navigating through a 3D virtual architecture the musician uses a set of 3D tools to interact with the virtual environment: gameplay zones, speaker volumes, speaker volume membranes, speaker navigation volumes and 3D multi-band FFT visualization systems. In 2000 he released his first solo cd, Once11 Versus the Pyramid, followed by Smile Hunter in 2006, both on the Agriculture label. Always moving forward Once11 started Meta Flora in 2002 and led a team to Costa Rica for 3 years building synergetic renewable bamboo structures. In 2004 he founded the Bamboo Institute. The Bamboo Institute seeks to develop innovative ways to utilize bamboo’s incredible potential to help solve a wide range of the problems facing the planet. Why not work on improving and promoting bamboo architecture and design, primarily focused on furthering the development and utilization of bamboo as a building material the strongest and fastest growing plant on the planet.  attached file: type: audio/mpeg size: 50.64 MB here Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:18:22 +0100   Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:47:11 +0100 Lucky Dragons are a duo, originally from the great city of Providence. Their music is best described (by me at least) as a wide tapestry of digitally manipulated sound, with a heavy component of social and musical experimentation. There's hard science behind the processes involved in making the final sound, which you can learn about in the video (and other videos online, if you choose to search them out), but if you want this layman's simple synopsis, it's great music made by people conducting electricity through touching one another. Instruments, digital/audio converters, and skin are used to create otherworldly sonic textures. Their music is very appealing to me, not only because of the raw sounds created (which may be very beautiful), but because of the process used to make the music. It's been some time since I've seen the crossroad of man and computer represented as well as with Lucky Dragons.

So, with the leaves already changing here in the northeast, I figured I'd make this mix a partie deux. The beginning starts with a beautiful accordion solo rendition of a Phillip Glass piece, followed by a dive (through a bit more accordion) into some Alvin Curran (representing Providence!), followed by some percussion, improvised structures..oh just see below. And as always, an eternal indebtedness to John Lurie, not only for the use of his artwork, but also for all of the great music he created over the years.

This one is best cued up upon departure from the last town in civilization. While its duration probably wont last through the entire desert trip, the structure of the mix is designed to emulate three segments of a trip into the desert; departure from civilization, penetration into and through the desert, and (hopefully) exodus from the desert. This mix is for Wootie and Birdie, and our trip out to Black Rock Desert for Burningman. Just like the scenes in our drive from Reno to the playa, this mix will start off with a touch of western, heading into an uneasy period (caused by dehydration and that nasty left turn around the mountain, no doubt), followed by some straight out craziness. The last part we'll get on the way back, as it returns to more serene, civilized sounds----exodus deserves such.

She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists. This Eleven Eleven Special is a surreal journey through time and space, where the listener can meet some of her friends, influences, idols, total strangers whose work she thinks totally rocks, and of course her good self. CONTAINS NO BREAKCORE. Buttress O’Kneel will be performing in Sydney for the first time for Liquid Architecture 10 more details… Some of Buttress O’Kneel’s work can be found at: http://www.aliasfrequencies.org http://www.interwebmegalink.net http://www.nightterrorrecordings.com PLAYLIST 1.

This springtime mix is just like a New England spring----lots of variability. With that in mind, here are some songs that have about as much in common as snow and baseball.

Sad to say, I found myself never tuning in once the station went to their new programming a few years ago, but I am happy to say I'll be tuning in at 1pm tomorrow (4/1/09) for a live set from Beat Circus!So, please, have a listen at 1pm on Wednesday, 4/1/09! On the FM dial, it's frequency 88.9. To stream go here and look in the top left for your favorite method. And if you like, go see them at TT the Bear's on the 29th of April. From www.beatcircus.net Beat Circus was formed in 2002 in Boston, Massachusetts by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Carpenter, who has been its only constant member since its inception. In 2005 Carpenter began a radical shift in direction resulting in the recording of Dreamland, the first part of Carpenter's Weird American Gothic trilogy, with legendary NY producer Martin Bisi. Filled with dark narrative songs and loosely based on historical events associated with turn-of-the-century New York, Dreamland was the culmination of a two-year effort by Beat Circus. In Summer 2007 Brian Carpenter debuted the third incarnation of Beat Circus with a new concept and sound to develop the second part of the trilogy, Boy From Black Mountain, personal songs about family and fatherhood in the tradition of Southern Gospel songwriters and Southern Gothic literature.  Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:34:45 +0100  Last Saturday’s Nettle show at Brandeis was a night that will be difficult to forget. After a listening to an interesting pre-concert talk, we had an opportunity take a look at the art in the Rose Museum. Impressive! There was a Hans Hofmann installation, as well as an installation of paintings named "Masters of Reality"---so good.For the show, we were fortunate enough to be sitting right in the middle, in the front row-- which put us on the same level as the musicians, basically 10 or 15 feet away. The concert was held in a recital hall with approximately a 250 seat capacity, and great acoustics. The musicians played together beautifully, merging a vast combination of sounds, textures, and feelings. Besides supplying beats and other electronic effects, DJ/ Rupture also provided some real-time manipulation of some of his colleagues’ sounds, which was an exciting element. There were also some amazing moments of video complimenting audio, adjustments and directions given in real time to compliment the music. You can read a longer review here. The Performers: DJ/ Rupture – electronics Abdelhak Rahal – Violin and Banjo Khalid Bennaji – guembri, vocals Brent Arnold – Cello Grey Filastine - Percussion Daniel Perlin - Video The concert was captured on video by a guy to the right of us, and hopefully that will become available for the public to watch at some point. Thanks to the folks that went through the many efforts to make this amazing concert happen. It was definitely one of a kind!  Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:28:57 +0200 Somewhat vaguely similar to my appreciation of art welded from junk, I am fascinated by the capture, tweaking, and collaging of raw sounds in order to make music. Beauty can come from lots of things- even discarded metal, or random noise waves propogating through the air. From their site: * Ditch - Yack  attached file: type: audio/mpeg size: 87.51 MB here Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:43:48 +0100 A heads-up to the heads in the Boston/Providence area-----this Saturday, March 21st, Brandeis University and MusicUnitesUS will be hosting the US premiere of Nettle. I have not been this excited for a show in a long time! I can't say enough great things about the music of Nettle, and DJ/ Rupture, so rather than me ramble on, I'd like to point you to a few true words that others have said---definitely offer more substance than I can provide...one of them being Wayne Marshall, who is currently the Florence Levy Kay Fellow in Ethnomusicology at Brandeis, and the author of a blog that I check out.
http://wayneandwax.com/?p=1261 http://www.musicunitesus.info/nettle.html Here's a vid of a live performance of Nettle. Both of their albums are on the Agriculture, and can be purchased through shops linked at their website. Tickets to the show at Brandeis can be purchased here.  attached file: type: application/x-shockwave-flash size: 994 bytes here |
