Just listen again to the excellent live recordings of the Detali Zvuku festival 2006/2007, and realising that this festival really must be one of the qualitatively best festivals for experimental sound.
While listening, I thought that it must be worth a journey and searched for announcements and found this:
At the beginning of September official city [of LVIV] didn’t solve not one general question from the list of agreements. We couldn’t start advertisement company in Ukraine, couldn’t choose company to deal with tech rider questions; we didn’t receive money for flight tickets for artists, not even talking about guarantees to pay fees in time. In fact all control on every organizational question up to the size of flier and quantity of posters was taken from us.
What a shame. Seriously, I really find this shocking.
I mean, it is already insane to not support such a great festival, but to additionally make them believe that there is support makes it even worse.
But, nevertheless, hear these excellent recordings of combos like “Kapital Band 1″, “Plesk” and many others here and here.
Artwork for The Nothings of The North. Hope it is ok to use it for promotional purpose.
This one is really awesome!

Wow. Could you also die for good experimental music, sometimes?
Then this link is exactly what you’re searching for. This. Is. Truly. A. Goldmine. Seriously. Thanx so much of a lot, minal!
Oh, and if someone responsible will read this: The availability of sound files made me buy 2 CDs and one mp3 pack of the music of featured artists. Think about it.
Did I mention this amazingly well-researched mp3-netmusic-electronic-pop-mixtape by phlow?
It’s definitively worth a download! Especially for those 8bit-lovin people (though it’s neither 8bit nor 16bit). Oh, and I know that its not fall anymore, but it still works for spring!

A really good-written article on a visit of Fremer’s Listening Room.
I mention this slight—very slight, but noticeable—hiss to Fremer, and it’s probably a frequency that 50 plus years of rocking have eliminated from his spectrum. He doesn’t even care. This is when I start to understand.
Discovered Nexsound, an Ukrainian Label that distributes on the net as well.
On “When I’m not”, Bluermutt discovers the relation of guitars and electronics. Experimental slow electro at its best. If you like relatively experimental and slow music this one is a must.
Taylor Deupree is a photographer, architect, electronic musician, and (which seems to be new for him) a soundscape recordist. In this particular investigation, his goal for 2009 is to record a sound a day. He publishes them on his weblog. His pictures are also quite interesting, he has a very inspiring view. Especially the winter scenes are quite rare. Thanx for sharing

This story is so amazing.
There’s a building somewhere in New York City: every time you go there – maybe it’s a bank or a department store or the office where you work – you hear what sounds like air-conditioning equipment, a distant droning noise in the background that you can’t quite place.
But it’s always there – maybe sometimes higher pitched than other days, but always audible…

Excellent minimal interpretation released under CC. Four stars.

Laridae.at starts into 2009 with Memplex, the new release by label co-founder Photophob. Leaving behind his Drill’n Bass escalations of recent productions, Photophob surprises with a calmed down mixture of Ambient, Oldschool Electronica and Field recordings – your sonic guideline for discovering the well hidden resorts of beauty in this world of overwhelming complexity.

Mixotic! All but Web2.0. I love it.
Unbelievable.

Enjoyable Netaudio of various kind (mostly downbeat). Great stuff!

A hint to the artist would be much appreciated. (Or more related information)
A catch-all term for all those aspects of a sound not included in pitch and duration. Of no value to the sound composer!

Letzten Sonntag in der Oetker-Halle, Bielefeld:
- györgy ligeti (1923-2006): poème symphonique für 100 Metronome
- wolfgang amadeus mozart (1756–1791): konzertarien für sopran und orchester
- joseph haydn (1732-1809): teseo mio ben! (arianna a naxos), kantate für mezzosopran und orchester, hob. XXVI:b.2
- wolfgang amadeus mozart (1756-1791): arie für bass kv 584
- joseph haydn (1732-1809): symphonie nr. 101 d-dur
Leider war das Bielefelder Konzertpublikum etwas überfordert mit derlei ungewöhnlichem Programm; gegeben wurde die Fassung des Poème Symphonique, welche vorsieht, dass die 100 Metronome schon laufen wenn das Publikum eintritt. Abgesehen von der etwas ungünstigen Platzierung der Geräte auf dem Boden der Bühne ohne jegliche Resonatoren und ihrer Beschaffenheit (manche waren Plastikgeräte, die den durch den Zeiger erzeugten Trigger mittels eines elektrischen Knackens höbar machten; nicht im Sinne des Komponisten aber nachzuvollziehen, immerhin ist es sehr schwierig überhaupt 100 Metronome aufzutreiben), war es dem Publikum —trotz vorheriger Einführung und vielen Plakaten im Vorraum— unmöglich nach einer Weile das Geschnatter aufzugeben und still zu sein. Selbst als nur noch zwei oder drei Metronome tickten gelang es einem Herren in Reihe 14 nicht, sein Interesse an gebratenen Enten und deren Verzehrsmöglichkeiten noch einen Augenblick für sich zu behalten.
Auf den letzten Tick des letzten Metronomes hustete ein Herr in Reihe 12. Schade. Dann: Applaus, untermalt mit, und —man lese und staune— Buhrufen. In Bielefeld. Unglaublich. Aber bestimmt im Sinne des Komponisten.
Alles weitere verlief dann so wie man es von Aufführungen von Mozart und Haydn erwartet; die Gemüter kühlten sich ab, und man konnte sich wieder der sanft dahinäuselnden Darbietung einfach zu konsumierender Klassik hingeben. Kurz: ein ganz normales Sonntagskonzert in Bielefeld. (ich muss hier weg :-)

Noah Vawter uses a special headphones system to transform the current surrounding soundscape into something different. His system called Ambient Addition will be presented at the dorkbot-nyc meeting.
In his thesis he writes many details on which hardware to choose and why it is difficult to use the iPod as a platform

Schlussendlich sind jetzt Auschnitte der –anlässlich der Nacht der Klänge aufgebauten– Soundinstallation ResonanzTreppen verfügbar und anzuhören/herunterzuladen.
Es war ein mittlerer Krampf, weil sich (a) Safari und Freesound nicht wirklich verstehen, und (b) es in der Uni geradezu unmöglich ist eine ftp-Verbindung zu einem externen Server aufzumachen (ftp ist nunmal doof…).
Anyway, hier also
Vielen Dank noch einmal an alle Mitwirkenden.
Hier zu bewundern ist die CrackleBox, ein live-elektronik Instrument mit seltsamen (oscillierenden) Schaltungen, welche
- durch Kurzschluss per Finger auf der Spielfläche angeregt werden und Klänge erzeugen, und
- ein heftiges Eigenleben führen.
Dadurch wird es möglich auf der einen Seite selbst Musik zu machen, allerdings nur in gewissem Maße auf die resultierenden Klänge Einfluss zu nehmen.
Genial, einfach und komplex in einem. Ich bin noch am überlegen mir eine zuzulegen.
Ach ja, die resuliterenden Klänge sind für den Spieler selbst interessant, es wird für andere aber schnell nervig…
