Anywhere Out of the World: The LOST DATA Project's performance at the Haggerty Museum of Art in Milwaukee can be downloaded by visiting stasisfield.com at the link above.
The LOST DATA Project features the live and processed sounds of original musical instruments designed and constructed by Hal Rammel. Hal Rammel plays homebuilt electroacoustic instruments. Jon Mueller and Jim Schoenecker, in addition to the electronics and percussion they favor in their work with the groups MOUTHS and Collections of Colonies of Bees, improvise with a variety of recordings provided to them by Hal Rammel, then manipulated and remixed through a variety of analog and digital processing.
Beginning as a series of solo recordings by Hal Rammel in 2006, the LOST DATA Project quickly expanded into an ensemble project exploring the manipulation of palette-generated sounds in small group improvisation. Past participants in the LOST DATA Project have included John Corbett (performance at Corbett vs. Dempsey in Chicago in 2006) and Lou Mallozzi (performance at Elastic n Chicago, 2007). Since 2007, the LOST DATA Project has consisted of Hal Rammel, Jon Mueller, and Jim Schoenecker.
To listen to a side from one of Hal Rammel's 7" singles in the LOST DATA series:
"It starts as a noise that sets off another noise in the dark pit of things."
