transposed version

what is pxp?

pxp is the short identifier of the department for
penetration and perversion, a farmersmanual
subunit located at [http://wrzk.web.fm/].
necessarily in the spirit of the superunit the
department's activities touch a wide range of
areas with interleaving methodology and the sonic
mapping of which being one subset. the topics
being covered might be distilled to exploration
of dynamic and selforganizing structures.

---

what is nada?

nada is the second realworld manifestation in the
shape of an Audio CD precipitated by pxp on
impulse of hamburg based experimental music label
dekorder. much in the style of an earlier work ,
"while(p){print"."," "x$p++}", wavetrap, 2002,
which has received an honourable mention in
digital musics at ars electronica the same year
for being perceived as "a jutting mass of
digitized disturbance that fueled our direct
reckoning with destabilized mathematics" by the
jury, nada represents a snapshot of the landscape
a couple of metamorphoses further down the same
n-dimensional road, 5 < n < \infty/2, but giving
in to a slight pull from self-sufficient,
specialized systems living in close proximity to
more open, general purpose communication networks.

why this all is probably great and you should buy it?

here we are in the lucky position to extrapolate
from responses to the aforementioned work
"while(p){print"."," "x$p++}":


"The sudden jolt of pxp peeled open all collected
ears." Ars Electronica Digital Musics Jury
Statement, 2002

"If Kraftwerk built their own synthesisers, then
pxp made the components."
http://www.barcodezine.com

"PXP is the embodiement of human absence. [...]
Scary stuff." http://www.kindamuzik.net

"Post Pop, Post Ideology? Die Welt ist
verwirrend. Das Leben ist seltsam."
http://www.club-debil.com

"The artist revels in colonizing a new dominion
of musique concrete, trash-compacting the sounds
of computer networks and digital systems with
algorithms that produce both dense, protean
arrays of fantastic dissonance and minimal pulses
and loops that repeat in and out of phase like
ominous robotic footsteps approaching ever
closer." Grooves #9, USA, Dec02
