Blechmann/Knapp - VIII review
via vitalweekly:
TIM BLECHMANN & MANUEL KNAPP - VIII (CDR by Nada)
A work of laptops and electronics that started in the world of improvised music, more or less that is. Tim Blechmann studied informatics and is 'predominately' an improviser with laptop and a composer of computer music, while Knapp studied painting in Vienna and computer music and electronic music at the University of the same city. I assume this forty minute piece is the result of playing together and taping that, rather then the product of endless shaping and editing of recordings. A very linear work here with atmospheric drone at the core and slow building of the final composition. Buzzing static, humming, but with some interesting variety of sounds here. What I like about this is the fact that is doesn't stay in the perfectly nice drone scapes world, but rather adds a whole bunch of nasty sounds and makes it almost aggressively loud. It's like they found a bunch of recordings made inside airplanes and added those the music. When it gets loud, say around the twelve minute mark it stays loud almost until the very end, but it end is again delicate. It's the louder mechanical machine humm that made this for me into a very nice work. It borders to the edges of noise music but has so much more to offer. (FdW)

.mf - Throwing Shapes
limited edition CDr
nada 12
Throwing Shapes is the first CD release of computer music by California born and Minneapolis based Michael Flora. Deeply inspired by a love of techno's repetition and sequencer based compositions, modern minimalism, as well as the extreme computer music of the 90's Mego label. The disc features recordings of different patches created through Miller Puckette's Pure Data. Only sine waves are used, sometimes showcasing the pure frequency of the wave itself or often subjected to further abstractions.

"Listening is key. Having the ability to listen is a learned function. It is a very creative activity, not passive and important for all aspects of our daily lives. Listening is not a light artistic whim, it is quite a deep emotional and creative experience. Where as hearing, we hear everything, but we rarely get the chance to focus and listen."- chris watson
