MNM at the ZKM
Sometimes whilst wandering around the web I caught in it and come across blogs that catch my eye. Here is a recent discovery, Alan Gleesons’ sound art blog. I came across it quite by accident and glad I did as there are lots of eclectic posts which I will be reposting here, starting with this…
While the R&D for Feeedback5 moves ahead with lots of exciting developments MNM has been out on tour, this time to the ZKM in Karlsruhe. MNM is conceptualized & directed by Christian Graupner/Humatic and features Mieko Suzuki & Ming Poon. The software has been programmed by João Pais with the support of Musical Interaction Team at IRCAM Centre Pompidou / Norbert Schnell with tech & music collaboration from myself. While it has been displayed in the past as an standalone installation we have also developed a stage version, which is what we performed at the ZKM last week, with DJ Meiko Suzuki at the controls.

Really interesting to read these ‘ the reality of my work’ pieces and gives a great insight into the varied opportunities out there.

TODAYS DISCOVERY – Selma Raziel – Ontologia I
This is challenging experimental music but the review gives you a very good idea of the release . Well worth a listen and Selma Raziel is my discovery today thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks.
Artist: Selma Raziel
title: Ontologia I
format: cassette / digital
keywords: alternative, experimental, binaural, beats, ritual, spoken word, Krakow, Poland
The first track on this album is named ‘parasomnie’ and transports us instantly inside a boiler room in which an avant-garde orchestra made out of rhythmically played boiler equipment and goose like chattering sounds, forms the music backdrop of Selma Raziel’s spoken word.
tchnął ducha’ begins more soft, as if the artist is stroking her both hands together to form a rhythm, while the legs are playing with some stuff that has been lying on the floor. With this sound situation Selma sets a very close and intimate atmosphere which she only enlarges by singing and talking softly in your ears.
With ‘dokąd zdąża teraz ‘the artist let listeners experience the full bennefits of focusing her music in a stereophonic way. Both left and right ear are being assigned to…

REVIEW REBLOG – A Closer Listen -Far Rainbow ~ No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool
Discovered for myself Far Rainbow a while back but thanks to A Closer Listen glad to return and reblog this review.
Far Rainbow are Emily Mary Barnett and Bobby Barry. On No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool they introduce the listener to a deeply colorful world that’s alive and blended together rather uneasily by rocky, experimental seas and the oh-so-still ambient sky. At first, the ambient drones prepare to take you deeper into the music. Diluted cymbals crash heavily. A pulsing bass tries to conceal the dawn chorus and its song of sweetness and light. Chirping birds eventually lose their voices and are replaced by electronic copies that bubble out of the music like a deep sea sonar. No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool is colorful music that slowly spreads its wings. A drum suddenly kicks in and provides a steady rhythm to the sailing drone which, incidentally, has its own rhythm – it just isn’t a beat – and the frequency of the drone wavers up and down…

Atelier Macumba
HB55 Kunstfabrik, Herzbergstrasse 55 (Eingang B)
Berlin-Lichtenberg
Tram M8, 21: Herzbergstr/Siegfriedstr
18:00 PÜNKTLICH!!!!
The participants in the SoundBoxes Workshop will present an immersive, surround-sound experience inspired by the works of Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, John Grzinich, David Tudor, Gordon Monahan and others, performed in a darkened room for an eyes-closed audience. In the piece, a swarm of individual, simple sound sources such as tones and textures are modulated and moved through the space physically by the performers to create a complex sonic environment. Delicate and intimate sounds pass closely near the bodies and ears of the audience, while stronger, more extreme sounds occur at the edges of the space to give a sense of the architecture of the room and the objects in it.
PLEASE ARRIVE AT 18:00 SHARP FOR THIS PERFORMANCE!
And then stick around for IPAs and a chance to demo some of theMacumbista.net
