The 2nd CD by the electro-acoustic trio RØD PLANET titled 'RPM' will
be released November 2007 in collaboration between the Danish label ILK and the French label Rude Awakening.
Watch out for release concert.
RØD PLANET (Red Planet) is a trio consisting of two Danes, the
acclaimed drummer Stefan Pasborg, laptop wizard Jakob Riis, and
Lithuanian saxophone virtuoso Liudas Mockunas. The band has a unique
sound which balances between live electronic and acoustic fields.
The music rides on a free spirit and takes off into energetic
outbursts of creative energy as well as meditative lyrical, organic
grooves and poetic shapings in sound.
All tracks were recorded live in studio, with all computer processing
done real time.
RØD PLANET's self-titled debut-album from 2004 got following words
on Danish National Radio's Jazz-site in 2004:
'It is demanding to listen to Rød Planet. But in return you'll be
greatly rewarded by an unpredictable music experience. The Danish
underground is indeed alive, and in good health'

Three Antena releases of live recordings, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, may 2007. Muniagurria, Pan&Tone, Cine Victória and editH10Sdat.
028 - Pan&Tone + Muniagurria + editH10Sdat + Cine Victória + Thaís Aragão - Live Impros May 2007
Two days of presentations in Teatro de Arena, Porto Alegre. Cine Victória, Muniagurria, Pan&Tone y editH10Sdat, more Thaís Aragão, in her first association with Antena collective. This release contains the collective ad-lib sessions carried out during these days. Some chosen passages of sound checking, a coda in the end of presentation, and a great bending session.
Guilherme Darisbo - as Cine Victória - assembles his live soundscapes now with cassette tapes, droning electric guitar and synthesis through one of the most possibly beautiful basic manners - sine waves. Rodrigo Avellar de Muniagurria plays an improvisation for electric guitar extended technique and radio, processed real-time with his laptop. Also they have performed together a new version for "Bachiana", 2000 Cine Victória's composition.
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.
