Clicks & Cuts

You have come here, you must think about minimalism. Be it the
minimalism of "rich" kinds of "idea"-based, "abstract" experiments, or
the "poor" minimalism of reduced sounddesign, abstractions of
substraction. You clicked, somebody delivered. Whatever happened,
thoughts of minimalim, of reduced interfaces, reduction of input or
musical preferences will have led you to "clicks & cuts". And with it
you will be introduced to a new differenciation of your concept of the
minimalist nation. The digital routing of ideas based on sound, it`s
flaws, delicacies, it`s enlightnement, and it`s value for the times to
come. It`s clicks & cuts. And as you guessed, it clicks and cuts. 

Remember the days when all was easy? When a new sound created a
soundgeneration every couple of months, and progression was not an
internal quality of electronic music, but its driving force? The days
when compilations such as "Bleeps & Clonks" suggested that it only takes
an exclusive snippet of reality, a buzzword that rings true to the
technogeneration, cause it reflects their life, to construct a new
world. Times when a new genre wasn`t just a sub-something of a
sub-something, but fact? Well, stop remembering, these days have arrived
once again, and they have changed. 

As the sphere of electronics no longer belongs to the realm of
transistors, translations of icompatible speech of cryptic protocols,
midi, sync and such, to the originality of the "machine", but is
imbedded in a wider range of calculated reality, simulated, emulated and
otherwise constructed picturing the desires of a digial residue
generation, there are new collisions of man, data & machine, new
collaborations, but before all, a new basis of working together, and
it`s first elements are clicks and cuts. It is the Cut-Copy-Paste-Funk
of the most unessentialist sounds ever, the clicks, the movements from
one to zero made audible to and from a computermusicgeneration, that
finds a new entente to be the departure of all relevance for the century
to come. Clicks no longer are a part of what can be imagined as a
cultural process, they are it`s value, it`s measuring, it`s money,
rules, laws, content, communication and whatever transaction media give
way to. Clicks are where the good old words, ideas, the sybolic realm
translates into action on the two sides of an interface, where
fragmented cuts start circulating in ways "Clicks & Cuts" is trying to
accomodate you to. To make you feel at home, in a place heard of, but
yet unknown, fascinating in it`s ability to change perception of
processes and processes of perception and what will be. 

"Clicks & Cuts" is an introduction to the functioning of 21st century
minimalism, the collection of schools of sound to come, and schools of
life to follow. And it sounds first of all promising.
