Re: [microsound] dean roberts question + more

microsound:

first - is the dean roberts ritornell release actually OUT at this point?  
my local store has stocked all of the ritornell releases thus far, but i'm 
wondering if they don't have it because it's not out or they're not stocking 
it because they already have too many mille plateaux-derived product lying 
around...

having not heard the new one, i'll say that you could indeed do worse than 
to check out thela's _argentina_ (very nice, vaguely rock derived, bits of 
gamelan maybe) or any of his solo work under his own name or under the 
white-winged moth moniker.  there's a nice lathe cut collaboration with guy 
threadgold called _cassavetes_ that was put out on roberts' own formacentric 
disk label - very freeform electric-acousto drones and subtle tone 
explorations.  if you see the _silo/blanket_ lp by white winged moth, grab 
it.

slightly ob-this-list: i picked up supersilent's _4_ and otomo yoshihide's 
_cathode_ last night.  _4_ is very nice electronics blended with jazz 
instrumentation that works pretty well.  _cathode_'s 4 pieces blend varying 
layers of digital sound, manipulated and unprocessed acoustic instruments 
and sachiko m's 'empty' sampler to create subtle manipulations of sound, 
like the beat-frequency love fest between sine waves and mouth organ in 
modulation #1... not dissimilar to the ISO s/t cd which should be discussed 
on this list at some point.
