[microsound-announce] Furthernoise issue February 2011

[Roger Mills]

Hi All

I just wanted to flag up the new issue of Furthernoise, which features  
a new Explorations in Sound release, featuring works based on the  
serendipitous outcomes of live performance. The release is free to  
download from http://www.furthernoise.org/netCD/EIS_vol4.zip

We also have loads of new reviews and our audio player is once again  
stocked with new sounds from featured noise makers.

Enjoy !!!

"Explorations in Sound, Vol. 4 The Sound of Live Performance - Various  
Artists" (feature)
The live sound and music performance is like no other medium for  
expression and unpredictability, frequently yielding interesting sonic  
results, both on, and off stage. Sound checks, sound failures, the  
misassigned patch, unintended playing outcomes, FX overloads /  
calibrations and pinnacles of performative exploration can all create  
sources for eclectic new material.

"Chance Reconstruction - M. Ostermeier" (review)
M. Ostermeier's piano-based compositions inhabit a similar wistful  
sound world to other post-classical artists, but his electronics  
provide more of an irregular ambiance for the piano rather than  
commenting on the delicate melodies directly. Chance Reconstruction is  
the first full-length album from an artist with an eclectic background  
in post-rock and independent music in Minneapolis.

"Edward Rizo — Soundscapes I" (review)
Volume One of Edward Rizo's Soundscapes is constructed from smooth and  
serene electronics that creates its own sense of place. Deep bass and  
sounds mysteriously appearing from nowhere suggest a subaquatic  
environment, isolated and reverberant.

"Fragments" (review)
Steve Roberts takes parts of his past, arranging them to create new  
pieces, the resulting Fragments essentially remixes of tracks from  
three previous Amongst Myselves albums. In many places single musical  
sounds get a refresh through re-setting them against field recordings;  
their deployment throughout serves to render Fragments a flowing whole.

"Music In Four Movements" (review)
Talvihorros deploys an array of instruments to touch various musical  
bases on Music In Four Movements, which dwells on the emotional  
dynamic of a suicidal impetus. An ostensibly bleak theme, but it  
presages no doom-laden death ambient suite; a more ambiguous tenor  
presides, at times hymnal, amid the murk and midden in an evolving  
involving suite.

"Out and About" (review)
On Out and About Herion's melding of post-classical sonorities with an  
expansive remit issues in a kind of spatial chamber music with  
shifting cadences which might be designated 'post-ambient'.  
Marzorati’s piano motifs, mixed with Coniglio’s melodica, harmonica,  
and treated guitar, all commingle sonorously in Errante’s settings.

"Over Pass" (review)
The latest release on Gears Of Sand from Montreal's Skinwell sits well  
in the label's collection of works, in the corner where post- 
industrial and ambient consort. Of 50-plus exhibits in GoS’s  
exhibition halls, the contents of Over Pass are among the most densely  
layered sound sheets hammered out in Delaware or anywhere you care's  
foundries.
