[Microsound-announce] new from and/OAR & Alluvial Recordings

New from and/OAR:

AFFLUX: Bordeaux TNT

Long after the first two releases issued by Ground Fault and Edition
Ellipsis, 
and/OAR & Alluvial Recordings ( http://www.alluvialrecordings.com/ )
are pleased to finally be able to present the final release in a trilogy
covering the 
sonic expeditions of the French location-specific electroacoustic trio
Afflux 
(Eric La Casa, Jean-Luc Guionnet & Eric Cordier).

This release summarises what was initially a 6 hour performance /
installation / 
radio broadcast that occurred at the TNT cultural centre in Bordeaux,
France.
The TNT centre is situated inside a former shoe manufacturing building.
With several hundred meters of cables, the exterior and interior of the
building were 
recorded using several different condenser and contact microphones,
modified 
and mixed in real time on a 32 channel mixing desk. Simultaneously, the
live mix 
was played into the concert hall / space using 8 channels for 8
loudspeakers. 
While the improvisers were on the upper level, the audience was listening
and 
walking around on the lower level.

The final mix for the CD was edited by Eric La Casa.

VARIOUS ARTISTS: Overheard And Rendered (1)

What?
The first of a new series of limited edition sound work collections that
illustrate the 
various utilization of  field / environmental recordings.
This is intended to be an ongoing curatorial invitation-only project that
might expand 
into becoming more than just a disc release in the future.
Maybe a multi-media disc-zine? Who knows where it may lead?

Why?
Partially because the and/OAR schedule is usually booked up well in
advance and  
there is only so much time in a year to release new work,  and since
there are so  
many interesting and  talented sound artists in the world flying within
range of the a/O 
radar,  that one solution was to create a vehicle which would enable the
presentation 
of many different artists' work at one time, and yet still be able to
present pieces of 
longer duration than compilations normally do. This would also help
alleviate the time 
it  would take to issue countless 3" releases as well.
And while the main focus of the series is to help get lesser known
artists work heard,
occasionally a track by a more known artist might appear as well.

Who?
This time the works featured are by American composer Maggi Payne,
American 
sound installation artist / phonographer Perri Lynch, and French sound
artists Pali 
Meursault, Christophe Havard, and Emmanuel Mieville.
