[derek holzer]

Nexsound has just "re-released" the MP3s of "Kosta" by Derek Holzer and 
Latvian duo Oloolo on the Archive.org site.

Album "Kosta" is a product of international collaboration between Oloolo 
from Latvia and producer / sound designer Derek Holzer from Holland. 
This improvisational record was created in "Karosta" center of culture 
in Liepaja / Latvia on January 4, 2003.

Maksim Borisov joined the artists in a few tracks with "casio" children 
toy synthesizer and early digital fx processor "lm-1229". Bones and 
various gifts of the past found on the seashore of the ex-military base 
of "Karosta" served as a sound source for Derek Holzer, who sampled 
sound through those objects with different microphones. Oloolo processed 
samples in real time on two prepared pc.

"The seven tracks of Kosta are small flirtations with noise and 
compressed field recordings. This is glitch theory being applied to the 
sound of history, the winds of old battlefields and abandoned cities 
being cut, spliced, and flung -- scattershot -- into the air."
