| [1] "Squaremeter.14id1610s" on Ant-Zen. Described as a "scientific bridge between sinetone minimalism and sonic mega-sampling ... digital ambient." Very interesting ventures into electronic marginalism wehere pure tones and clicks and hums collect into speculative critical mass. | |
| [2] "1st Recordings" by Paloma Jet, my daughter of 3 weeks. I realized early on that she had the knack for sound poetry and I imagined her communicating with the like of Jaap blonk or raoul Hausmann or Schwitters or Tzara... I have here 1 hour of selected and collected early vocalizations from her first 3 weeks of life including screams, howls, sputters, gurgles, slurps, yawns, squeaks, etc. Here interwoven throughout the program and thus crawling through the various soundscapes created by the other pieces spun. [See Appendix] | |
| [3] "La Connectique" on Hymen www.klangstabil.com or hymen@gmx.com via Ant-Zen is gruesome French industrial heavy ambient - crashing post industrial atmospheres. Brutal technocratic oscillations that wreak havoc among your fragile nerve-endings. | |
| [4] "Radio Worm 001" A CD from a radio station in Rotterdam. Interesting radio sound and collaging material. Now "doing" a show at Radio Patapoe via recordings. Contact: bookings@dodorama.nl | |
| [5] "Illusions of Move - Chapter Blue" on Hymen www.klangstabil.com or hymen@gmx.com via Ant-Zen is an incredible mix of hyper and hypo. Dark ambience with Kraftwerk in speed machines. A bi-polar schizoidal convergence, very sophisticated tapestry of sound structures - atmospheres filled with static and turbulence. Great material. | |
| [6] "Release" on Ant Zen www.ant-zen.com out of Germany. Part of this already-submerged-emerged scene that melds jazzy forays with cool electronica and then invests it with all the jittery speed of drum and bass. Bands like this are the new frontier of the brittle edge of where music is noise and noise suddenly begins to osund comfortably musical. | |
| [7] "Peps.CD" by the Ultra Milkmaids [great name] on Ant Zen www.ant-zen.com is a very interesting thrust into unsettling ambience. Subliminal and furtive - they call it "arctic minimalism". Regardless, they are all healthy antidotes to the hyper-cliched worlds of pop gneres. This kind of stuff is actually just the aural flush your inner ear needs. | |
| [8] "Rhic-edom" on Ant Zen www.ant-zen.com The title comes from the CIA's newer brainwashing tek called rhic-edom. "rhic mean "radio hypnotic intra-cerebral control." While edom "stands for electronic dissolution of memory." And this disc with ex-members of Snog and Soma seems to test these notions - a seemingly disparate jag of unsettling noises and intrusions mixed with hypnotic trance. | |
| [9] "Redpath House" on Universal Egg http://wobblyweb.com/ueindex The extrapolated connections between electronics and ecstasy, mixing and psychedelic experience - one approximates the other at the fertile doorway called the inner ear. How does sound trigger deepseated memories of alternate consciousnesses? As the old d&b, dub, house, ambient genres start to collapse into one another all sorts of interesting jazzed up and morphed beats and sounds create new fabrics. Is it "Avant Bass" or "Post Beat" or ... Apparently Marineville are a sight to see - "an embryonic version of Marineville performed a visual/sound display in a derelict underground car park in Newcastle!" Or is it the "Drum & Space community, particularly appreciated on the French scene?" | |
| [10] "Text Equals" on Errant Bodies otic@earthlink.net from one of the main practitioners of sonic scraping, a process of capturing the earth's natural ambiences and where sound mutates and mutates like crystals and viruses until - be patient - patterns evolve because our own human needs require patterns make something out of randomness. Here Labelle states: "These recordings have been guided by a broader engagement & interaction with textual works produced by a number of writers, such as Roland Barthes, Gertrude Stein & Arthur Rimbaud, whose interests in language lead to broader notions of its inherent expressivity and malleability." | |
| [11] "World of Echo" on Upside is truly one of my favorite discs by one artist [long deceased, sadly] who really touches me. Deep sonic echoes, dub meets the sensitivity of the also very touching, Nick Drake. A strange universal-personal poetry emerges. | |
| [12] This single I found on a Greatest Hits LP, never heard of it but I thought it would be more Acker Bilk-ish Brighton-exotica [Martin Denny in a frigid zone] but it was more like some stoned country hippie thing. The title appealed to me because I not that after Paloma breastfeeds the milk seems to send her into a narco haze, an opium high that leaves her laying there blissfully motionless. | |
| [13] "Schnee" by Stimmhorn on R¨hr/RecRec vertrieb@recrec.ch is Christian Zehnder on voice and instruments, and Balthasar Streiff on alphorn, trumpet and other instruments. This is one of the weirdest records I have gotten in quite some time. Falsetto and bravado make one think of Tiny Tim dueting with some Gregorians in chant formation. I received this from fellow yodel scholar Christoph Wagner. It is a very eccentric dialog between voices and alphorn (it sounds like didgeridoo at times) which evolves into a weird operatic symphony of scat improv, yodels, and operatic flourishes. | |
| [14] "A Place in the Sun" on Knitting Factory www.knittingfactory.com is that strange uncomfortable but totally natural hybrid of grimy industrial sound made to do a number on the bucolic and ambient atmospheres of Hollywood western soundtracks from Morricone to Ry Cooder. This makes for beautiful yet unsettling auditory bedfellows. Like the west will never be the same again. | |
| [15] The traditional Dutch birthday song. Translated: "Long shall she live". | |

Appendix: The Dub Version - Paloma Jet Soundtracks Around A Birth February 14 - February 16, 2000 We were privileged enough to live somewhere where homebirthing is a probability not just a possibility. The affordability and naturalness of being in your own home meant the little one could be born in a non-harsh atmosphere with our own lighting AND own ambience. Meaning I could periodically function as DJ to mitigate the labor pain moans. This, then, is what was played. I now can think of many other pieces that would have done nicely but this is what went down. | |
| o The Sinking of the Titanic | Gavin Bryars [over and over throughout birthing experience because it has that ethereal weightless maritime feel that I imagine a child feels in that amniotic sea.] |
| o The Gentle Side of John Coltrane | John Coltrane [Because this is one inspiring collection which calms as it instigates our most< creative thoughts] |
| o Mozart in Holland (Horn Concert #4, Symphony #5, Piano Concert #11, Violin Concert #3) | Concertgebouw Kamerorkest, Amadeus Ensemble, Franciscan Strijkkwartet. It's supposed to be like smart pills in auditory form and its some of Nina's favorites. |
| o Djangology | Django Reinhardt [Shortly after the birth because DR is among the jubilant jazzmenn. There is joy inside the hardship. Plus Django was the chosen name had it been a boy.] |
| o Du Jazz Dans Le Ravin | Serge Gainsbourg [SG at his most soundtracky and inspiring.] |
| o Reissuing Stan Meets Chet | Stan Getz vs Chet Baker. [Heroin times two - after 40 hours of labor and a birth there was a distinct resemblance between 2 states of mindlessness.] |
| o Erik Satie [1866-1925] Pianoworks | Joao Paulo Santos [Any nerves sharp as shards are polished to a fine calm piece of costume jewelry.] |
| o World of Echo / Another Thought | Arthur Russell [Some of the most ethereal, beautiful and anomalous music to come out of the 80s] |
| o The Khirghitz Light | Rapoon [Pure inspiring yet calming looped biorhythmic ambience plus the kinds of sounds I imagine a baby may have heard while in the womb.] |
| o #1 / #2 | Pole [Pops, fizzes, shirrs, whirrs, crackles and other noises that are resculpted into Kraftwerk-like compositions] |
| o Original Rockers | Augustus Pablo [cosmic beauty of the melodica ..] |
| o Hank Williams Greatest Hits | [I don't know, thought it necessary...I guess] |
