IO.SOUND/ announces further reaches into interplanetary erotic surveillance,
experiments in Electronic Voice Phenomena, reel-to-reel manipulation of thee
voices of the dead, and unearthed sounds of disembodied machines.


IO/002 - S* + KK
GLYPHS OF EREBUS SUBLIME (CD)

    [ http://iosound.ca/2011/10/io-002/ ]

­­­ a unique collaboration between Katherine Kline of Montreal
industrial/noise outfit Dreamcatcher and s*, offworld entity. Captured live
in 2008, this improvisation utilises reel-to-reel machines, tape loops,
homebuilt electronics and analogue devices to craft a psychedelic noisescape
that shifts from static and silence to harmony and dissonance. Somewhere
between musique concrete and microsound, Terry Riley and Wolf Eyes, Glyphs
has strangely charted for months in the top 10 on CKUT FM in Montreal as a
"hit micronoise album."


IO/003 - S* + A.J. CORNELL
1981 / 1999 (Hi-Bias TDK Tape)

    [ http://iosound.ca/2012/05/io-003/ ]

­­­ features a split collaboration of found sounds and wiretaps between s*
and a.j. cornell, a two-part dissection of the overheard and the understated
sources of power, from secret affairs to police surveillance. Discovering an
old cassette tape in an antique dresser, a.j. cornell unravels the erotic
tension between two lovers attempting to keep their politically-explosive
affair under control, constructing a strangely seductive soundscape during a
live radio-art performance at Montreal¹s CKUT 90.3FM. Recovering long lost
tapes of the N30 protests (the Battle of Seattle), s* composes a tense
montage from the police scanner, combatting surveillance and arrest
activities with frequency and noise manipulation. Each side presents a full
immersion in overhearing behind-the-scenes banter, providing the craven ear
with its own surveillance apparatus, and seducing the listener with the
unheard discourses of secrecy and power, personal and public.


IO/004 - S* + MVK - THUNDERKLAP (Hi-Bias TDK Tape)

    [ http://iosound.ca/2012/06/io-004/ ]

­­­ an unrestrained yet at times delicate channelling of improvisation from
s* and MVK, recorded live in one take on 03 July 2008 at STEIM, Amsterdam,
shortly after the passing of founder and experimental ³crackle² performer
Michel Waisvisz. Shifting between waves of noise and ambiance, loops and
events, Thunderklap is a personal requiem for Michel. Equipment: turntablist
set-up with digital vinyl system for source samples; STEIM homebuilt
analogue synthesizer; laptop digital signal processing.
