Hello Everybody.


TWO NEW RELEASES ON CON-V:


. Josh Russell - for LP <http://www.con-v.org/cnvr05.htm> (CDR) cnvr05


Tracing the semiologic markings of Josh Russell's latest release unfolds 
a metaphysical scientist's travelogue,
crossing through a variety of modalities of the possibility of sound.
Here in this flux, movement itself is the ultimate quest & meaning.
The slightest movement, caught in a magnetic web,
casts a fibrillating microsonic aura in the finest aether yet 
unperceived through any looking glass.
And that what is yet unconceived now miraculously comes in to being,
out of being - both in form and substance a mere gesture,
a signification of a quantum universe the likes of which neither Plato 
nor Einstein had fathomed.

Josh Russell currently lives in Austin Texas.
His work lies in the gully between academic electro-acoustic and ambient.
Inspired by the soft incidental noises that one normally filters out he 
distills these sounds down and composes with them.
By manipulating previously recorded sounds live as well as amplifying 
miniature sound environments
he tries to create recordings and give performances that keep the 
listener engaged and present in the moment.

In 2000 he founded Bremsstrahlung Recordings
and is very much excited about diffusing net-audio through its 
TRANS>PARENT RADIATION 
<http://www.bremsstrahlung-recordings.org/transradiation/index.php> 
sub-label.



. Christian Toonk - unison <http://www.con-v.org/cnv24.htm> (online) cnv24


The basic idea for "unison" is the phenomenon of binaural tones.
When the distance between congruence frequencies is changed, pulsations 
occur.
Here, Dutch artist Christian Toonk (vinculated to the Utrecht based 
collective Umatic among others projects)
uses a self build instrument based on sinewave oscillators and feedback 
loops.
The output is rewired to the input and provides a somewhat unpredictable 
datastream,
by means of creating an opponent to interact to as in collaboration.
Unison is an improvisation with sinewaves.
Although a technical approach, an emotive quality is pursued.

Christian Toonk:
His recent music concentrates on controlling complex behaviour of 
audible systems.
These systems consist of feedback loops, real-time synthesis and sound 
processing;
by layering these audio streams, minimal compositions emerge that 
explore acoustic and tonal behaviour.

Christian works and lives in the city of Utrecht, The Netherlands.
