About me:
In 1984 I started asking networking friends to send me recordings for collaboration. From across the globe over the interviening years contributions have arrived & many releases have issued forth from ZH27.
Around the new millenium the "15 x 1 min." series began. I've been asking all my home-recording friends locally & across international networks to send me a series of 15 one minute pieces for future collaborative efforts.
The result has been fantastic & this page documents this ongoing project.
This blog documents 15 x 1 min actively.
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone I've ever collaborated with as I've perhaps met a quarter of the 300+ people I've completed recordings with.
Undecisive God 'A Vinyl Construction' 7" - Recent experiments with multiple turntables and prepared/broken records come to full fruition here with a release that poses questions both to the use of turntables as instruments and vinyl as a format. The music - crunchy multi-layered improvisations/processes that randomly sample small broken chunks from the original vinyl materials - is itself presented on 7" vinyl, in handmade covers reconstructed from old record covers and broken vinyl shards; each cover is different, individually numbered and an interesting one-off creation in itself. Limited edition of fifty copies. Available from Shame File Music, or Missing Link and Sunshine & Grease in Melbourne.
Different layers of stretched sounds are combined exquisitely all together forming a continuous and straight timeline that it's transforming in slow motion.
Hey friend! Just letting you know i have released my new album and its all yours for free!, so why not give it a gander and perhaps download it, crank up the volume and annoy your neighbors! cheers ;0)
We have taped almost all of the live performances by the Antena crew. Usually that's enough for upcoming releases and archive pieces as well as to be used as a documented reference for the upcoming live events. For these two following live performances, the archive has became very special. In the day after the show we have listened to the mixer recording and found out many frequency combinations, details and soundscapes which the low-budget speakers of the little theatre couldn't catch up. A great amount of the sounds wasn't noticed when listened to live. Such beautiful basses and trebles and a torrent of harmonics are all presented here as a surprise to the ones who haven't watched the live concerts. Pan&Tone has assembled his circuit bending equipment of rhythms, noises, modified synthesizers, distorted toys, radio waves and statics with the touch of his hand as an energy conductor. EditH10Sdat has performed a drone-based set with softwares, ambient scapes being slowly generated, sub-basses taking the sound spectrum over and microsound excerpts zigzagging through stereo.
Two new virtual albuns to download. The Pan&Tone debut at Antena and the new (dell.tree) EP.
026 - Pan&Tone - Kilik
We are pleased to present the first Pan&Tone release by Antena Collective netlabel. Pan&Tone works together with us since last year, and his presence has become more and more fundamental to the structure of Porto Alegre core. "Kilik" is an album of 99 loops made with clicks, small pieces of sound forming rhythms in a very subtile way. The former intention of this album is the rhythms to be recombined at each audition, fit up in many different means. A free puzzle, a game to build. To make download easier, in this online version the small loops - of 48 seconds each one - were grouped in tracks of 8 minutes and 48 seconds, each one made of 11 loops. Nevertheless, the listener is free to edit, change the disposition, juxtapose, the way he/she wants.
The new (dell.tree) EP is an assay about insomnia. Many noises practiced during a night-watch show up - Internet browsing, random TV sections, sounds of inside and outside the house. The tracks bring impressions of human activity and state of awakeness, keeping an oniric atmosphere, in a thick mixture of dream and reality.
