hello,

back from beautiful berlin (where i would love to move) and charming 
chemnitz where i got to perform my first live set "under the stars" at 
the ELECTRIC CAMPFIRE event by RASTER-NOTON with bugs chiming along to 
different frequencies. got to visit the relocated staalplaat store 
where i walked in and my cd was playing ... that was a first for me.

the new look and packaging for LINE cds are now available with CDs by 
CHESSMACHINE and STEVE RODEN. http://www.12k.com

hope to see some of you in switzerland!

friends were hurt/trapped by the hurricane in the gulf coast.
i encourage you to make donations for disaster release at

- -  RECENT RELEASES AVAILABLE ON 3PARTICLES.COM PAYPAL SITE - -

OUT NOW > 2CD .  Re'post'post-fabricated  [ DSP Recordings, Italy ] 
This 2CD project will have the reformed/remastered Post-Fabricated CD 
(originally issued on CDR on Dutch label Microwave in 1999 as an 
edition of 222). I was never happy with the sound quality of the final 
master due to the engineer and my analog recording limitations at the 
time. This is an odd recording for me, which you could say is my most 
"pop" release in its quirky rhythmic elements. The second CD is 
remixes/reworkings from the original files by Frank Bretschneider, COH, 
Taylor Deupree, Freiband, Goem, Alva Noto, Byetone, Sogar, Asmus 
Tietchens, Vend, Matmos, Steve Roden, and myself (getting dubby).

OUT NOW!  CD .  35 Mutant Seconds: based on Rafael Toral´s Creamy 
Burst.  [ Grain of Sound, Portugal ] features reworks using a Toral 
guitar piece from 1991 as source material. My piece was selected from a 
series of 3 improvisations. other artists include: Pita, Fonica, 
Sawako, John Kannenberg, Stapletape and Allto and more.

OUT VERY SOON!  LP + CD . Retrieval 1-2 + Retrieval 1-5  [ ERS, The 
Netherlands ]. This will be two works that were created at my artist 
residency at the Music Research Centre @ York University, UK. based on 
soundfiles and loops of mine from 1990-1993.  the CD will include an 
extended reworking of "Retrieval 3" + 2 additional retrieval pieces.

these can be pre-ordered on the online store below. shipping of orders 
should be by mid september.

OUT NOW!  CD .  CHESSMACHINE Live in Los Angeles  [ LINE, US ] the 
collaborative performance project CHESSMACHINE by Richard Chartier (US) 
and Ivan Pavlov (aka COH) (RUS). A certain humor shapes the conceptual 
dialectics of the CHESSMACHINE live experience. Their interplay 
suggests the historical confrontation of East and West; an austere and 
chilling tete-a-tete over the chessboard that reconstructs the somber 
milieu of a bygone Europe, even as it conveys a kind of absurdist 
levity through the rehearsed performance of these roles. The use of MAC 
and PC computer operating systems by Chartier and Pavlov, respectively, 
becomes the late-20th century manifestation of classic Cold War 
combatants. Through their engagement, a process of sonic and aesthetic 
displacement unfolds, such that one player's strategic manipulation of 
sound begins slowly to affect and then determinatively shape the 
compositional technique of the other. CHESSMACHINE's live performances 
take place in real time with color coded staging, uniforms, lighting, 
and video projections designed by Russian-American installation/video 
artists Evelyn Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand.  This live recording of 
Chessmachine took place on February 25, 2005 at REDCAT in Los Angeles. 
The performance was presented by the Los Angeles Museum of 
Contemporary Art (MOCA) as part of Visual Music: SEE HEAR NOW!, an 
experimental music series investigating the synaesthetic resonance 
between contemporary music and visual art, in conjunction with their 
exhibit Visual Music. http://www.12k.com
