[microsound] microsound from hk: my new 3" CD - uroborus

["Sin: Ned" <zin_ned@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi microsounders:

i have a new 3" cd with the title "uroborus: a study on no-input device" 
released by lona records (hong kong).

below is the official relaese note for your easy reference.

"Sin:Ned - Uroborus: A Study on No-Input Device (Lona Records)

Sin:Ned, an idiosyncratic writer and a sonic junkie from Hong Kong, hacks
and twists anything he can put his hands on. While not writing as a
pseudo-music journalist elaborating his esoteric worldview, in the same
idiosyncratic fashion, he spends much of his time hacking and sculpting
sonic materials with his laptop and various electronic gears. Used to be a
member of the internet-based music collective Tapegerm, and had also
performed as a sonic improviser in the Media Jam of 03 HK Sound And Vision
Festival, while some of his other sound works can be found in various
compilations such as ¡§mondisk¡¨, ¡§MCB200¡¨ and Alok's ¡§29 minutes from
the end¡¨.

Uroborus (also known as Ouroboros) literally means "tail swallower" in
Greek. It is an ancient alchemical symbol depicting a snake or dragon
swallowing its own tail, forming a circle and constantly
creating/re-creating itself. In Alchemy, it represents the spirit of Mercury
(the substance that permeates all matter), and symbolizes continuous
renewal, the cycle of life and death, and the interplay/interdependence of
the opposites. It also represents eternal return, and the cyclical nature of
all things that begin anew as soon as they end. One might also consider
Uroborus as a symbolic representation of Nietzsche's Eternal Return and
Jung's Enatiodromia.

¡§Uroborus¡¨ is a sonic exploration created within such symbolic framework.
On the other hand, it is also inspired by Toshimaru Nakamura¡¦s ¡§No-input
Mixing Board¡¨ and Sachiko M's ¡§No-sample Sampler¡¨. Ross Bencina's
AudioMulch is being used as a self-contained apparatus without the use of
any audio input or signal generator (i.e. no samples, synthesizers,
instruments¡Ketc), to create a slow evolving mass of sonic textures that
endlessly unfolds over time.

The result is this almost transpersonal-like, self-referencing sonic life
form."

It is available on-line at Monitor Records (http://www.monitor-records.com)
