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...

highs); he also doesn't get too song-y.  anyway, it makes me wonder
about his work in thela among other things.

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.
