  • Freq Modif on Spanish DVD Random Soundscapes

    Random Soundscapes DVDCool hacked DVD project where music plays with random video.

    ROJO.esee. es un concepto, una idea que buscando su forma ha encontrado en el formato DVD+CD su mejor aliado. A modo de pecera futurista ROJO.esee. está ideado para acompañar veladas post-modernas, estados de ánimo insomnes o como compañia en las tareas domésticas.

    ROJO.esee. es una pintura sonora cambiante.

    La parte musical a sido estructurada por Raúl Garcia (Dj.Zero) conocido pionero en la difusión de la electrónica en este pais y autor de numerosos
    textos de referencia para el estudio y seguimiento de la música avanzada. Dj.Zero presenta en esta compilación un tracklist atemporal con autores procedentes de todo el mundo. Zero ha antepuesto en su selección el riesgo creativo y la experimentación sobre la “tendencia” y la publicación de novedades gratuitamente.

    Los criterios de selección de piezas video han contrastado y reafirmado la postura de Zero y ofrecen más riesgo y más experimentación. Piezas de encargo con sólo un requisito: total libertad y originalidad, fruto del auténtico trabajo personal. Los videos han proporcionado a ROJO.esee. una diversidad de conceptos y técnicas generosa. Podemos ver 3D de última generación, documental, multimedia o cine mezclados en un cocktail colorista y muy arriesgado, sorprendente y a veces impactante.

    ROJO y alicia aúnan fuerzas e ideas para llevar a cabo estas compilaciones visuales y sonoras. ROJO es una plataforma de difusión artística
    multidisciplinar que se concreta en forma de revista, de web, en discos, exposiciones, eventos… alicia es una pequeña boutique creativa que sirve
    ideas al entorno publicitario y artístico.

    El cocktail está servido. El visionado del DVD arranca en modo RANDOM-ALEATORIO y se abre la posibilidad de que el azar escoja una de las 120 posibles combinaciones entre temas musicales y videos, creando la sensación de que hay piezas nuevas y nuevas canciones en el contenido del álbum en cada visionado.

    Esta sensación de novedad constante es debida a que nuestra percepción une las imagenes y los sonidos en nuestra memoria. Somos capaces, por naturaleza, de “cuadrar” mentalmente audio y video de modo que percibimos cada una de las 120 combinaciones posibles cómo unicas y específicas.

    ROJO .esee. es eso… sensaciones novedosas en paisajes sonoros aleatorios.

    ROJO.esee. es un salvapantallas que se descarga en tu comedor. Imágenes y músicas en Hi-FI. Una alternativa a la programación televisiva.

    A:D:A:P:T Soundings 1This compilation caps off the year in which Trace Reddell curated the visualsoundings series of live electronic audio performances for MCA|D. The disc covers four seasons of audio/visual events thematically networked into the museum’s exhibits, including a tribute to Pop Art (sonicPOP) and an examination of architectural decay in new urban environments (music for ruins). The compilation showcases a diverse range of sonic material, from glitchy micro-textures and ambient techno to electrofunk, britpop, and choral ensemble work. All tracks were newly produced for this disc, including an exclusive live recording from Crix Madine’s performance at the museum.

  • Multicast’s Japanese Debut – Shaman Efforts

    Shaman Efforts

    while i’ve only just recently dropped this new and upcoming compilation in the cd-tray, i feel the need to mention this release as many of the artists featured on it have been actively involved in the idm-scene for quite a while. abstract electronics are brushed up against peculiar electro-elements, minimal beats, subtle rhythms with a focus on the experiments in sound-construction & de-construction that these artists do best.

  • Multicast remixed on American Breakbeat 2

    American Breakbeat RebuiltThe Rebuilt-project: musicians from 33 countries remixed the tracks of American Breakbeat. In comparison, American Breakbeat Rebuilt is much more pop, but Klangkrieg would not be Klangkrieg, if we have not recruited musical border crossers for such a mammoth project… at the end listeners will experience a kind of ‘re-hearing’ with many old acquaintances and some surprising new discoveries. Already when we have worked on American Breakbeat, we could not find anything ‘typically American’. Referring to Rebuilt, it´s very obvious, that finally no stereotype grasps anymore. Electronic music thus proves to be an international code escaping all categories. But — really — who of us needs categories? Although American Breakbeat – Rebuilt is kind of conceptional, it first of all promises an unique pleasure for your ears. The two CDs remain floating, while the connection is made between clicks & cuts via really nice electric pop to break core and noisy drones.” Remixes by: ES, Borko, Leafcutter John, Ultra Milkmaids, Pastacas, Xploding Plastix, Donnacha Costello, Random Logic, Andreas Tilliander, Belgradeyard Sound System, Ambidextrous, Sonic Dragolgo, Slepcy, Miraq, Chris Wood, Ford Proco, Desertstorm Breakcore Squad, Goem, Rosy Parlane, Fibla, Pimmon, Intricate, Kubik, Epy, Somatic Responses, Com.a, Noize Creator, Panacea, Andrea Benedetti, Mambotur, Ruzina Frankulin, Ammo, Insumsion, Vultures.
