Word The Cat

alphaville have been running an excellent series of podcasts for a while now. field recordings, rain, distant electronics.

greek sound artist manekinekod (named for the waving cat) studied music for film and builds herself a “dream machine” here.

tba a.k.a. natalie beridze hails from georgia and builds a more gentle mix on her contribution. FACT are accompanying these podcasts with a series of interviews and you can read TBA’s here.

and here’s a track off TBA’s album annulé on max ernst from 2005.

i’m sure you’ve heard that Wiley gave away 200 tracks last week. you can nab all 11 zip files here. this is like a ready-made post for blogs. time (to listen) becomes a bigger commodity than data. self-appointed aggregators stand up. BUT.

it’s also a nice side-step for someone who is working on material for a multi-album record deal, as well as being a tribute to Wiley’s insane level of creativity “there ain’t much rest involved”. a lot of the material is rough, unmastered but still strong.

BUT. it’s also interesting for the idea of archive. i’m sure i’m not the only one who has had a hard drive die and felt a massive sense of relief that i lost a shit_ton of music. there’s a big anxiety when music is petrified into file trees, sub-directories and ultimately compressed into binary data. contingency and surprise are more fun.

so, in no particular order, here are some new Wiley tunes. he’s got range.

spending time in the north. spending time with autotune.

Vuvuzela-EX (R)

Stops the Hum of Bees for free

In nearly every corner of the world people play football today, FIFA
says. The victory of capitalism goes parallel to the structures of
sports. And yes, swarms win and make all faces equal. Anyhow some of
them produce their very own sound in the stadiums. This communistic
expression of life sucks. But vuvuzela.org fails. No democratic
reasoning will help. Fanfares are permanently disturbing the cup.
And as we all know John Cage was wrong. We can’t give back the voice
to the peoples. Vuvuzelas kill!

Vuvuzelas (do not confuse with German Kicker Uwe Seeler) and noisy fan
trumpets are disorganised horns. All in all it’s a bad black false
uproar. They can’t be brought into line. In the name of freedom: This
new apartheid must be stopped!

38317 has developed the perfect tool and instrument against the pest.

@livevuvuzela. three 90 minute drone epics a day watched by billions. and if billions are watching there’s sure to be some arseholes who can’t take it (one of them is called patrice evra, 29, from manchester).

elsewhere i attempt to juggle abstract world cup blogging.

today a track by kyo ichinose from 2002. it’s from this cd. file under well designed furniture. bought here, where you can get immaculately designed tables for over €1000. the track is from a evening of performance inspired by st.giga st.giga was a ambient radio station that organised it’s programming of spoken word and field recordings according to a tidal timetable. despite attempts at franchising (including a st.giga fragrance) the station was only operational in this form from 1990 to 1995 when a lack of subscribers forced them to cut back on the tide of sound broadcasts and cut a deal with nintendo to supply snes games via satellite. the station crawled on non-tidally until 2007.
