"The I.K.K.-project is the new project of Ralf Wehowsky (RLW), the influential German electronic music composer who started his recording career in 1980. And following his inclination for collaboration it counts with contributions from Dan Warburton, Andrew Deutsch, Chris Halliwell, Strotter Inst., Stephen Vitiello, and Frisch/Rainey/Wehowsky. I.K.K. Purpur started in 1794, when Christoph Schmid wrote the lyrics for Ihr Kinderlein Kommet, using a melody by contemporary composer Johann Abraham Peter Schulz. It was performed soon after in Thanhausen an der Mindel for the first time. In 2001, a few weeks before Xmas, RLW recorded his daughter Sonja (aged 5 then) singing some of her favourite Xmas tunes."

"This piece was recorded live at Phil Niblock's Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York in the spring of 2005 and is part of André's ongoing series focused on creating micro-environments, computer controlled hermetic spaces. Bringing together sound and space through sympathetic vibrations, sound is used as a medium to excite space in order to render audible its natural resonances -- sound multiplying in and by space. Six objects were suspended from the ceiling at different heights, each one made from a globe of white glass with one microphone, one speaker and one electrical lamp inside. Each speaker was connected individually to a computer, that triggered six different frequencies -- one for each of the speakers. These frequencies were tuned to the objects' resonance frequencies causing them to resonate. There was no amplification for the sound coming from the objects. Kenneth Kirschner was plugged into the room's sound system."

Sirr invited twenty-one artists to contribute a sound piece inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen's seminal composition premiered in 1956: "Gesang Der Jünglinge." Features: @c, Heitor Alvelos, Marc Behrens, Rui Costa, Andrew Deutsch, Andre Goncalves, jgrzinich, CM con Hausswolff, Derek Holzer, Anna Homler & Michael Intriere, Dale Lloyd, Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox, Paulo Raposo, James Eck Rippie, Steve Roden, Janek Schaefer, Maksim Shentelev, Asmus Tietchens, Stephen Vitiello, Achim Wollscheid, yoko.lennon. "The works on this CD are not plain homage, nor are they sampled from the original. They are rather a survey of the current state of electronic/electroacoustic music that exists half outside the academic life. The composers, musicians and artists on this CD are interested in locating themselves within their own history by further exploring the topics of sound spatialization and/or use of the human voice with electronics, or they undertake a transformation of the original concept towards a personal approach to the sound, or to the original's biblical words."

With Brandon Labelle/Maria Nilsson, Toshiya Tsunoda, Julien Ottavi, Steve Roden, Paulo Raposo, Christof Migone and Stephen Vitiello. "Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003) is one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in modern writing. Remembered from the few distant relates and a clandestine photograph taken in 1922 as being tall, thin and cadaverous in appearance -- Blanchot chose reclusiveness and isolation and refusal, but his spectre lingers on over contemporary thinking. Blanchot has avoided interviews, photographs, and academic affiliations; public knowledge of his life consists of a handful of minor anecdotes and of inferences built around the appearance of his books and essays. Sirr invited a hand full of sound artists to deal with his 'obscurity'."

"In his installations the audio artist Brandon LaBelle focuses on the dynamics of spaces, objects, bodies and language. His interest is primarily in the performative possibilities of language: how the various consonants and vowels collectively form an architectural whole that enables us to form words and sentences, and subsequently how they achieve, influence and complicate communication. In his new installation Over/Hear his attention shifted to that which has been said: overheard conversations."

"Insula Dulcamara features a series of connected compositions made from field recordings and a (no-input) amplifier. Travelling notes, reverberating spaces, delicate resonances, all form to build a almost lyrical imaginary space with many layers. The sounds move quietly through the fragmented landscapes of field recordings and the transforming electronic processes create a highly delicate evershifting but detailed sonic flow."

"Pal Toth alias én is a Hungarian sound artist and radio producer, living in Budapest. In the frame of his radio programme, we can regularly hear what he calls 'ether concerts', compositions made to the medium itself and comprising an improvised (real-time) method of editing, Pal Toth confronts the listener with an evolving sense of time and duration that transcend questions of musical form to focus in the idea of shape, in the potentialities of a sound representation as stream of consciousness. Demanding and engaging. Imagine if Morton Feldman had played in a Punk band when he was young!?"

"Sul features tracks by Atau Tanaka, Oren Ambarchi, Pimmon, Eric La Casa, Vitriol, id and Marc Behrens. Sul is dedicated to the french film-maker Chris Marker, author, among other films, of La Jetée (1962), Le Fond de l'air est rouge (1977), Sans Soleil (1982) and Level Five (1997). 'Chris Marker is a sculptor of memory -- he can make us reminisce of things we have never lived, to remember places we have never been. If the future can become as sentimental as the past, then he has succeeded in manipulating time to an emotional end. Music can only aspire to become what Marker does -- music is the art of sculpting time, of evoking memory for transitory sonic moments'. -- Atau Tanaka."

"Cage of Sand consists of several improvised pieces for violin and electronics. All the sound sources used derive from the violin itself, in 'real time'. Each track explores a different approach, from the repetitive and the noisy to the evanescent, redefining shifting spaces of tension, which are reinforced by the intricate, sometimes intimate, use of electronics. Live sampling software (written in max/msp) interacts organically with the gestures, doubling or dissolving the acoustic input in various forms, structures, states. The result is a work that is challenging and engaging. Carlos Zingaro has been active in the European improvised music scene since 1975. He has been a regular partner of people like Otomo Yoshihide, Joëlle Léandre, VoiceCrack, Richard Teitelbaum, Thomas Lehn, Matt Wand (Stock, Hausen & Walkman) and Gunther Muller, among many others."

"Renè Bertholo, born 1935, is most known as plastic artist and co-founder of the KWY group in the late fifties with Christo and Jon Voss. His interest for electronics began when he started to make objects with electric movement, called 'small-scale models' which used electric devices producing aleatory noises, and which he made between 1963 and 1973. 'In 1973, when tired of repairs I had decided to give up making them, a friend gave me one of those musical boxes with a handle, a drum bristling with prickles and a steel comb. Although I had seen similar ones, that particular one fascinated me and I had an urge to make one like it, but using electronics'. Renè Bertholo started then building and programming himself a digital machine for making sounds. Since then he destroyed and rebuilt the machine several times, he even named her Alice, now he calls her just 'maK'. This CD covers all twenty years of his sound production and it was recorded directly from the machine. At last."
