   About Amundsen
We have been convalescing.
We having been composing.
We are coming again.

-----

Field recordings. Created and found sounds. Samples. Melodies, rhythms, songs, riffs. Music and voices. Our music and other music.

Amundsen are a collective - we are not a 'band'. We rarely meet face to face, so we don't play live.

Our music is usually quiet, calming and emits an emotional warmth which wraps a welcoming - if occasionally disturbing - hug around the listener.

Fashion bores us. Music excites us.

THIS IS AN ART PROJECT PRODUCED BY THE nano_CORPORATION
[ MySpace | Official Website ].

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY SPACE OF YOUR SCREEN IS OCCUPIED BY ADVERTISINGS? ANYWAY, WHAT ARE ADVERTISING SPACES? WHAT DO THEY REPRESENT?

Using the nine default sizes most advertisings on the web use, this project is an attempt to make those spaces visible to all in a very simple and objective way.

This project is primarily influenced by the work of Mel BOCHNER called Measurement Room.

THIS IS A NETWORKED ART PIECE PRODUCED BY THE nano_CORPORATION
[ MySpace | Official Website ].


This art project's page is meant to contain all trash you get on MySpace.

E-mail: mytrashspace@nano-corp.com
Password: trash!


Feel free to use the login information above to add to this profile ANYTHING you want, ANYWHERE you want. You can add text, images, videos, sounds and anything you can think about.

The idea is to build some sort of network collage from all sorts of stuff people will add to the page. At one moment the page should get more and more overloaded making it almost impossible to load.

So check it out and have fun!

Day 330:

because heights means genetics.
cruel preschool of the insane children.
pay for that which violence implicates.
untouched spots, supositories.
schoolling to be a germ test tube.
full of plagues and lice.
institutional xenophobia without copy.
some of us suffer a disfigurement.
because height means to grow up.
and tiredness frost.
striking the skull begets sweetness.
to cross the infamy of the virtualoide roofs.
the empty roofoides of indulgences.
cause we were born dwarves.
living in shoe boxes.
staying up all nite without crying for decades.
who could console this anemia?
you'll leave the pathological thing to turn yourself into milk.
