I have been doing mail art since late fall 1983, and trading mail music since 1984. My current search for items from around the globe consists of the desire for trade of the following items: postal art, xerox art, original cassette tapes, cdrs, and worthless photos. If you have any of these to trade, either send them and expect my equivalent in return, or tell me about it and I'll send mine first. Besides making postal art I also create original aural compositions, otherwise known as aural collages, sound sandwiches, or to some "noise"! This is done under the name of The Zanstones - with some friends. I also collaborate with fellow sonic exporers worldwide.
Well I've given you a brief rundown of what I'm up to, how about yourself? What do you do? What kind of things do you do with your spare time? What kind of music do you like? Until I receive your prompt reply, remember: The end of the world is not coming anytime soon, so carry on as normal!

ELEGY n°47 (www.elegy.fr) "... they unveil a rich, refined universe... reveal ambientronica jewels. A true work of art... their composition and their perception of the environment show great maturity and prove that 2kilos &More has become a group that cannot be ignored..."
"... ils dévoilent un univers riche et délicat, ... révèle de petits bijoux d’ambientronica. Un véritable travail d’orfèvre... une grande maturité de composition, une perception de l’environnement qui inscrit 2kilos &More dans les formations sur lesquelles il faudra désormais compter..."
"3048", released by Farmacia901. A dark, choking, psychotropic immersion into abstract isolationist electronics, floating among rumbles, drones, bleeps, glitches...like a trip into the deepest corners of an obscure unknown galaxy, lost forever and glad of it! As always, everything is made with exclusive use of vintage equipment, no computers, no midi, no emulators…nothing can beat the sound of an unleashed vintage analogue synthesizer!!!
Limited edition os 212 copies. Gatefold cover, black cd! Price: 10 euros Order info: info@farmacia901.com
SIRR (spatial impulse response rendering) (Luca Sciarratta & Tiziano Milani) cat. #rdm017 Music by Tiziano Milani and Luca Sciarratta
INFO: Spatial Impulse Response Rendering (SIRR) can be used to reproduce room acoustics with any multichannel loudspeaker system. In SIRR the time-dependent direction of arrival and diffuseness of measured room responses are analyzed within frequency bands. A multichannel response suitable for reproduction with any chosen surround loudspeaker setup is synthesized using the analysis data. The resulting loudspeaker responses are used in a multichannel convolving reverberator, and the synthesized responses create a natural perception of space corresponding to the measured room.
