LINE is proud to present 60:00, the fourth collaborative album from 
influential electronic music pioneers Asmus Tietchens and David Lee 
Myers. On their first three collaborative projects the working method 
for this pairing was essentially the same: Myers provided Tietchens 
with raw feedback sound banks and the later constructed the 
compositions from this source material using his varied processing and 
editing techniques. For 60:00 this approach was altered; again 
beginning from the feedback sources, tracks were repeatedly exchanged 
between the two composers, transformations and edits by each resulting 
in several levels of manipulation. In the final pieces, the particular 
contributions of each composer can no longer be precisely identified.

   Asmus Tietchens: First release of electronic music in 1980. Since 
then about 30 more records on numerous international labels dealing 
with electronic and conctrete music. His latest project is the "Mengen" 
series released by Ritornell/Mille Plateaux (Alpha-, Beta- and 
Gamma-Menge). All pieces of this series are based strictly on sine 
tones and white noise.

 David Lee Myers is a sound and visual artist living in New York City. 
He has created music based on feedback principles since 1987 using his 
unique "feedback machines". As Arcane Device, and more recently under 
his own name, Myers has had twenty recordings released on numerous 
international labels, and ReR Megacorp will rerelease his classic 
"Engines of Myth" album on CD in the fall of 2003. Using the portable 
feedback apparatus, Myers continues to perform in the U.S. and Europe, 
and exhibits his paintings and prints based on electronic traces 
generated by Feedback Music.

12k presents "Every Action," the 3rd full-length release from the UK's 
Motion (Chris Coode) and the follow-up to 2002's critically acclaimed 
"Dust" (12k1019). In addition to his work with 12k (Dust, as well as a 
collaboration with Doron Sadja on 12k's recent Two Point Two 
compilation, and an MP3 only release on 12k's term. series) Coode has 
worked with Fat Cat and also released the debut Motion cd "Pictures" 
(now out of print) on his own imprint.

The work on "Every Action" spans from 1999-2004, some of the material 
created around the time "Pictures" was produced, sharing that release's 
more obvioius tonal and melodic content. Using a stipped-down setup of 
studio equipment Coode crafts his sound by sampling, processing, 
resmapling, reprocessing.. back and forth, like generations of tape 
transfers or photocpies of photocopies, until the final results are 
smeared and distorted ghosts of the original: detuned, groaning, 
fragmented. Despite the digital sources, Coode's music is highly 
organic, utilizing randomness, openess and dysfunction to create an 
oddly ambient and quieting sound made from stressed melodic flickering 
and skittering, tones, drones, and overprocssed textures.

Motion is important in Coode's work, too; slow motion formed in grainy 
timestretches punctuated by dynamics that swell and disappear creating 
odd suggestions of performance, structure, and deconstruction built 
from his always live mixdowns.
