Happy New Year folks. Welcome 2010!

Odyssey Two is a mix of music we have enjoyed this summer, opening with a crazy dance track Family Galaxy by Tim Exile. We also hear from Ellen Allien, Tipsy, Krazy Baldhead, Sonmi451 and more, plus a couple of tracks from ALT, a new release by Rothkamm on independent French label Baskaru. From Australia, we hear an excerpt from Alias Frequencies Radio Metamix and a Scattered Order track from the latest New Weird Australia compilation.

Alias Frequencies has just made available Radio Metamix. Five artists interpret the idea of remix for radio featuring Lloyd Barrett, Lucas Darklord, Buttress O’Kneel, Rik Rue and Shannon O’Neill. Radio Metamix was originally broadcast on ABC Radio National’s The Night Air on July 1, 2007, as part of the Liquid Architecture festival. Listen to the entire Alias Frequencies Radio Metamix.

New Weird Australia is a free compilation series that promotes new eclectic and experimental Australian music, available as a free download every two months. New Weird Australia also has a weekly radio show on Sydney’s FBi Radio with hosts Stuart Buchanan and Danny Jumpertz.

Enjoy the show!

Lucas Darklord
corporatemanifestations.com

Lucas Darklord is the Les Hiddins of the Electro-Activist Underworld. Based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Lucas Darklord oversees the world’s largest unlisted company and holds radical views on the future of capitalism and life both within and without cultural and social constraints.

When asked to curate this broadcast, Lucas Darklord decided to, broadly, serve a selection of sounds that Eleven11 listeners may not have heard before. After being confounded by the petty limits of time and duration, Lucas Darklord settled on broadcasting excerpts in favour of complete works. Further, Lucas Darklord found that it was not possible to simply play each selected piece.

After months of solid research, a machine was devised to play pieces of the selected works, where the machine makes the decisions about when to stop and start a work. Further, because we desired it, and as it actually gives a perspective from Lucas Darklord’s interior, additional paths were developed for the sound to travel along. Along these paths the sound picks up the prickly and sticky seeds of weeds, tangles with ghostly shadows of the source sound and generally is forced through a range of pulsing and excessive filters and devices of constraint, restraint and rewonderment. The results are not any form of destructive remix, merely the most restraint Lucas Darklord is capable of.

Note: Almost all works presented here are excerpts, and all have had additional sounds and textures (sourced from the original recordings) incorporated into the work. No disrespect is intended to the fine work originally rendered by the creating artist/s.

Podcast: All Together Wrong

About the podcast: “What is on this podcast? Trials, plan B’s, errors and rehearsals, leftovers and whoulda-coulda-shouldas, the stuff remaining under the wet hood: the little fellas that didn’t make it. Sketches, leftovers and drafts: an amalgam of wrongs.

This 11 tracks date from 1999 til 2009, since “bounced” they are no longer editable (a couple are mis-mixes from “Smile Hunter”). They are the elaborate trials of my inner professional artistoid, working the “crashing patching and doodling of doing”, on some very nice afternoons (obviously with the intention of making of all the right mistakes) next to the roaches and fliers and the hope filled tool bags of the sleepwalking artisan.” ~ Once11

Once11 (aka Ignacio Platas) born in Montevideo has never stood still for a second. He was an active member of the infamous Brooklyn Williamsburg scene (‘90-’93). In 91, after building environments at Keep refrigerated, legendary illegal underground Williamsburg club, he co-founded Lalalandia Entertainment Research Corporation, whose large scale fountains, omnisensorial environments and pneumatic installations have been written about in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Lalalandia made many of the most memorable Brooklyn warehouse after- hours environments of that period.

In 1994, he started up Multipolyomni and We™. We™’s ‘97 release “as is” is considered a classic. We™ opened for the Orb that spring. Their third release, “decentertainment” landed them at Barcelona’s Sonar ‘99. Multipolyomni’s ‘97 New York production of the Solar Drama from their opera Quark Soup, projected a massive live view of the sun perpetually rising for 24 hours, broadcast LIVE from 127 consecutive locations as the world turned around once. It hosted 77 live performers and artists on two floors. The Early Aquatic Episode, ‘96 at the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, also from Quark Soup, was hailed by the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as “the only work in scale with the Anchorage”.

In 99 he moved to Barcelona and formed a team to find solutions for marrying video game navigation, 3D music interface, audio visualization, hybrid environments, digital architecture, 3D sound, audio localization, and analogue input controllers. He developed the demo sutoolz 1.0 alpha. A 3D software interface for music performance. By navigating through a 3D virtual architecture the musician uses a set of 3D tools to interact with the virtual environment: gameplay zones, speaker volumes, speaker volume membranes, speaker navigation volumes and 3D multi-band FFT visualization systems.

In 2000 he released his first solo cd, Once11 Versus the Pyramid, followed by Smile Hunter in 2006, both on the Agriculture label.

Always moving forward Once11 started Meta Flora in 2002 and led a team to Costa Rica for 3 years building synergetic renewable bamboo structures. In 2004 he founded the Bamboo Institute. The Bamboo Institute seeks to develop innovative ways to utilize bamboo’s incredible potential to help solve a wide range of the problems facing the planet. Why not work on improving and promoting bamboo architecture and design, primarily focused on furthering the development and utilization of bamboo as a building material the strongest and fastest growing plant on the planet.

Randolf Reimann (Northern NSW)
myspace.com/tralalablip

Randolf Reimann is a sound artist, musician from Bangalow, Northern NSW. Randolf started his musical journey as vocalist for the Sydney 80’s hardcore punk band Massappeal. See also http://last.fm/music/Massappeal. Recent group projects include electro-acoustic duo Kolliope, with singer /song writer Michelle Taylor, and experimental projects like Lawn Cigar with visual artist/musician Darren Porter. Solo, Randolf performs live electronics as Dolfazoid.

Randolf is also the artistic director and facilitator of Tra La La Blip, an artist collective based on the far north coast of New South Wales. Their first release, Soundbeam Sessions Volume 1, is a compilation CD. All the songs were created live during jam sessions at Multi Task Human Resource Foundation in Lismore NSW. The music is created using multiple midi controllers and instruments like the tenori-on, soundbeam, kaossilator, microkorg, a macbook running ableton live software and a microphone. The project provides people with disabilities access to new musical technologies, opportunities to collaborate with other musicians & artists and opportunities to record & produce original compositions. Randolf is currently in New York doing Tra La La Blip activities with disability services and the elderly. www.myspace.com/tralalablip

About the set: When I left Australia in October I purposely did not take any music with me, no mp3 player, no CD’s, no iTunes library. So this set is made up of music that has come to me on this extended stay in the USA, save for 1 kolliope tune and the TLLB songs. Most of the music I have received through connections made through TLLB on this trip . There are generations overlayed too, a grandmother talking over her grandson’s metal band. A mother singing with school children and her son (now in the metal band), and a father doing music with his son. This was not an intentional choice, nor is it entirely experimental, it’s just what has been presented to me since October 2008.

Happy New Year folks and welcome to the first show for 2009!!

Several new releases are featured this month including the opening track Untitled #175 by Francisco Lopez & Lawrence English, from the album HB on French label Baskaru. Also new from Baskaru is Live Journeys, a selection of live performances by mixed-media band Symbiosis Orchestra.

The podcast title, Mistress of Ceremonies, is a track from the new Joe Frawley release Ritual Research.  An extremely enjoyable listening experience, the album is available for free download through the Clinical Archives net label.

From our friends at The Agriculture we have two exciting new releases to look forward to in February. Rich Panciera under his Lloop moniker explores elements of dubstep, hip hop and drum & bass with the album 60 Hertz. Kacy Wiggins aka quiet personal electronics (aka qpe), releases the one true constant, a new album with a downtempo ambient hip hop groove. Also from qpe we hear a track from the album Boolean Logic, which I refer to as my all-time-favourite pre-cyclone music.

From Australia, we hear a track from Rhythmic Movement Disorder (Room40), the long awaited debut solo release from Robbie Avenaim, a luminary figure in the Australian experimental and improvised music scene.

We also hear a golden oldie, That That Revolves, a Severed Heads track that features on the companion CD to a new book release entitled Experimental Music: Audio Explorations In Australia. Book chapters have been written by ‘artists, producers and participants in alternative music-making’ in Australia including contributions from Julian Knowles, Shannon O’Neill, Ian Andrews and Jim Denley, to mention a few, edited by Gail Priest. A definite must have for those interested in the history of experimental and electronic music in Australia. I was thrilled that Punos rated a mention. Enjoy!

Currently exploring the city of Montreal and enduring one of the coldest winters in the world, yet discovering a city abundant in culture and creativity. The D.I.Y approach in Montreal allows for creative freedom and expression which nurtures a healthy arts community. Healthy in the sense that artists self release CD’s that come to be works of art, each CD feels personalized and one of a kind.

This month’s “xmas special” is a collection of self released and independent experimental artists from Montreal, Canada. Sit back and enjoy bruits du nord!

Mark Brown is a Sydney based sound, installation and photo media artist exploring the phenomenology of space, architecture and acoustic atmospherics. Brown’s practice has evolved into a poetic response to site, critiquing the history and function of architecture by documenting and making manifest unseen and unheard phenomena in space. This playlist maps a trajectory through strategies in the creation of sound composition and music derived from field recordings, sampling, artist made instruments and meta-generative techniques.

Minit’s samples of ‘absence’ recorded in the place where the Berlin wall used to be are layered into a subtle building wall of sound in Berlin Untitled. Wolfgang Voigt’s Pop 4 pulses through the black forest of reconstructed pop elasticity. Inside the white cube, a museum goods lift opening its doors to hear the ruminations of a disembodied forensic entity in Fontana Musee Incident. Einsturtzende Neubauten’s sound sculpture / instruments flail on the stage of Werner Schwab’s Faust. During the Acoustic Space Lab project in Irbene Latvia Zina Kaye & Mr Snow inhabit a decommissioned soviet satellite communications dish and distilled the unseen sonic particles it collects. Ian Andrew’s Dude Descending a Staircase traverses the static of radio waves and glitch frequencies in a Duchampian audio readymade. Echolocation is a recent collaboration with myself and Vincent and Vaughan O’Connor, the intention was to create a live sonic meteorology of field recordings and circuit bending.

Sound of Failure 2008
The Sound of Failure is sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as conceived and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio experience that includes everything from experimental cabaret, to granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging performers.

IMPROVISED RADIO PIECE
Cedric Peyronnet (Bellac/France)
www.ingeos.org

Podcast: kdi dctb 209 [a]

“A totally improvised radio piece dealing with the relationships I can draw between some of the works I’ve done these last 10 years. I revisit the archives 1998-2008. My work is always “site” based: a place is explored, recorded, played, then becomes a matter for the studio work; a piece is always about a place, and is always composed only with sound material gathered in – a really very important point to me. It is never a ‘phonography’ of the place but an interpretation of the place. ” ~ Cedric Peyronnet

Cedric Peyronnet (aka toy.bizarre / ingeos) is a sound artist working since 1990 with phonography and soundscapes, using the principles of concrete, acousmatic, electroacoustic music. Peyronnet’s  practice of “sound mapping”, the exploration of places by sound recording, listening and sound sculpting, take form in compositions and sound pieces, concerts, sound screenings and sound installations.

Cedric Peyronnet is performing at Liquid Architecture 9, Australia’ s premier sound-arts festival throughout July 2008.

Liquid Architecture , Australia’s premier sound-arts festival, celebrates its ninth consecutive year with concerts, surround sound presentations, audio-visual and recorded work, exhibitions and installations. Featuring our most imaginative musicians, composers, sound designers and media artists in a sense-specific feast for the ears.

Kazumichi Grime (Sydney)
www.kazumichi.com
Kazumichi Grime is a Sydney based sound and visual artist. Recently he has been incorporating video art into his live sets which have been performed at events such as The Big Day Out, eScapes, Disorientation, The MCA and Liquid Architecture. The focus of the video imagery is often of intense studies of simple concepts that work in collaboration with the sound to create a resolve. Dense textural drones are drawn from field recordings, analogue synthesis and acoustic recordings.

He has released numerous recordings since 1994 on cd, vinyl and online and has performed extensively. As well as his own solo practice, Grime has collaborated on a number of projects with artists such as Kim Cascone, Gary Bradbury, Anthony Guerra, Andy Polaine and has also developed a number of pieces as a sound artist for video artist Shaun Gladwell, including the 2007 Venice Biennial piece, ‘Storm Sequence’

About this playlist. The music I have chosen is music and sounds that I find engaging and beautiful. It also happens to be all of Australian artists whom I have followed for some time over the years and have found their music an inspiration (though I did sneak a new track of mine in as well as a remix I did). Having grown up on a diet of Severed Heads in the 80s, I naturally find Bradbury’s work wonderful, unexpected and humorous. I have always enjoyed releases by Ambarchi, Minut and lesser known artists like Daniel Whiting whose track here is a cdr he handed to me one night and is heard here in its entirety, quite an epic. Enjoy.

Kazumichi Grime will be performing at Liquid Architecture 9 Sydney, Festival of Sound Arts 11-12 July 2008.

Jeph Jerman (USA)
www.jerman.littleenjoyer.com

Jeph Jerman is a musician, improviser and sound-maker from the US. Jerman first began recording and performing in 1986, under the name Hands To . Most of his early sound work was sampler and tape loop based. Over the course of ten years Jerman’s music evolved into environmental recordings, with very little to no manipulation or electronic processing. In 1996, Jerman embarked upon a weekly series of concerts in Seattle at Anomalous Records , which brought him into contact with the city’s improvised music community. During this time he began performing solo, using only natural found objects (stones, shells, bones, driftwood, pine cones, etc) as sound-makers, a practice which continues today. In 1999, the Animist Orchestra was founded, original members are Jeph Jerman, Eleanor Gallagher, Dave Knott, Mike Shannon, Jeffery Taylor and Robert Millis.

Most of Jerman’s previous work could be interpreted as being ‘idea-based’. He finds that most of his work nowadays is sound-based, and believes it is due to his growing interest in listening, in what happens when one listens, and his concomitant disinterest in contextualizing sound
