christian weberwalcheturm solo” compact disc

  • walcheturm solo (38:12)
june 2008 release ; solo set from swiss bassist christian weber (recently drafted into joke lanz’ “ensemble” variant of his sudden infant project) ... super present double-bass improv, each craggy slow-arco reproduced in grisly detail ... impressive both as peter kowald-lineage form destroyer, but has a kind of tnbanti-music” logic to it as well ...

«header_change»

norbert möslang // computer

«header_change» is the latest installment in norbert möslang´s long-running work in the transmutation of light into sound. the title refers to the practice of changing the values in the header code of a data file. in this case, möslang changed the headers of video stills from swiss video artist silvie defraoui to create sound files. at the invitation of defrauoi for her reception of an arts prize granted by the city of st. gallen, möslang pressed these audio files to vinyl and mixed them live.

these files also became the basis for the seven compositions on «header_change,» a work of slowly evolving textures, hacking across frequencies of light into sound.

norbert möslang is a visual artist and musician living in st. gallen, switzerland. his activities include audio and video installations, photography, works for internet, improvisation and composition using «everyday cracked electronics.»

debut solo release from english computer-music composer joe gilmore (under his given, at least) ; a set of 5 pieces sourced to improvisation(s), deftly assembled into ringing, detail-heavy clusters of digital sound.

i haven’t made it all the way through a disc of non-hecker contemporary computer music in a while; yet i’ve been compelled to give this a number of spins this morning alone. excellent stuff.

«on quasi-convergence and quiet spaces»

joe gilmore // computer

«on quasi-convergence and quiet spaces» is assembled from a series of edited solo computer improvisations executed between 2002-04. the direct-to-disk recordings were often by-products of custom generative and performance-based patches developed for group improvisations. in december 2006 these recordings were revisited after producing similar soundfiles for a site-specific performance exploring the acoustic properties of the holy trinity church in leeds (uk). the material from these sessions was edited and shaped into a coherent whole during january 2007. the work explores the relationship between self and group (other); improvisation and composition at different temporal and physical locations. «on quasi-convergence and quiet spaces» consists of five focused, evolving pieces, which combine rich textural swathes of sound and intricate shimmering tones with dark, organic abstract structures.

joe gilmore is a sound artist and graphic designer living in england. he has been working with sound since 1994, composing works for cd, performance and installation. his work has been published on numerous labels including 12k/line, alku, fällt and entr'acte. he is co-founder of rand()%, an automated internet radio station which streams real-time algorithmic music.

günter müller
«reframed»

  • capture (60:22)
an amazing bit of process music/sound-art from voice crack’s norbert möslang... the buzzing of fluorescent lights made further audible through an ingenious array of contact microphones and dedicated digital hardware (which merely augments existing sonorities in static ways rather than completely voiding them.) the resultant din is that of a massive wall of pure, unadorned electricity; something you’ll want to bathe in over and over again (i’m on my fourth continuous listen.) killer...
