Sunday, June 04, 2006We Are Back
We are back after a pleasant Memorial Weekend. I had a chance to visit our good friend Jonah Goldstein of the Unevenness of the Moon's Surface in LA. The U/M/S podcast returns this week after Jonah suffered the modern equivalent of your house burning down, laptop hard drive failure. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it could of been, he had luck at the genius bar, but he addresses technological mishaps and data loss in his new podcast The Age of Technological Disaster. Is computer failure the worst thing in the world now? Or is it still a Y2K type joke? His busted organ sounds like the return of a good friend. I've missed it over the last few weeks. I got to see it last weekend and I can't wait U/M/S to take that on tour somewhere down the line.
El Plan De Aguavodka has been blowing my mind every week and his latest in his series of processed home movie audio, Walk Under Trees [Aguavideo III] is no exception. The strange sounds of disembodied drones curdle and bend as beautifully as the sunlight shines through leaves on a tree. Don't miss it. The Painful Leg Injuries wrap up the latest series, Improvised Sensorlab this week. For the 7th and final episode of this series I used some live digital processing while I erformed this piece. This one definitely drones more than the previous episodes. I've loved making this series and this will not be the end of work I'm making along these lines, so we'll keep you posted. Next week, for the 11th series, I return to my collaged recordings of street musicians for Return to the Four Chambers. Also, we've changed our updates here to be more blog-like. Please give us any feedback you like by commenting right here. Until next week, take care.
