Jon Rose "The Music of Place: reclaiming a
practice (Platform Papers no. 35)"(paperback book) - ‘How do you maintain
live music in a culture that does not value it?’ asks Jon Rose, acclaimed
improvising violinist and instrument maker. ‘The practice of music has lost its
key functions and roles in society’, he writes. ‘The proof of this lies in the
steep decline of monetary worth for both practitioner and the art form itself.
Music's social worth is also questionable as it is steadily removed from the
education curriculum. This is not a uniquely Australian phenomenon, nor is it
confined to music practised on the fringes of society; it is a problem common
to all music forms.’ Rose rejects blaming popular music and digital downloads,
delves deeper and proposes a way to change the culture.
Robert McDougall "Unfinished Studies"
LP - Debut release from young Melbourne-based composer Robert McDougall,
presenting four electroacoustic studies, the fruits of many hours of private
sonic research and improvisation. Simple electronics, acoustic instruments,
field recordings and textural manipulations are subtly processed, fragmented
and iterated into patiently evolving forms. Eschewing the jump-cut dynamics of
academic electroacoustics while making use of a large variety of source
material, McDougall allows the elements of his compositions to creep gently
from background to foreground, layers of sound gradually transforming
themselves in the manner of Eliane Radigue's synthesized spaces. His
compositions have an environmental character reminiscent of the sound-work of
Rolf Julius, heterogeneous elements forming themselves into blocks of sound
that seem to take on a spatial aspect. Occasionally instrumental sounds come to
the fore, displaying a wandering sense of melodicism that, whether on piano or
acoustic guitar, is reminiscent of the work of Stefano Pilia, Loren Connors or
even Harold Budd. On 180 GSM heavy black vinyl, with download code. Edition of
300.
Various Artists "The Shape of Sound:
Volume 3" CD - The final installment in this series documenting Melbourne
drone/electronica-related music, this volume features Warren Burt, Ollie Olsen,
Robin Fox, Mitchell Brennan, Sean Baxter and more. Limited edition of 100
numbered copies.
**A handful of copies of Volume 2 are still
available as well**
Third I/Scissor "The Birds/Coil" CDR
- Serbia's Third I process bird sounds to create an eerie track reminiscent of
the soundtrack of Hitchcock's film, where the cries of birds sound vaguely electronic.
Queensland's Scissor presents an electronic track using self-made analogue
synths, which sits quite comfortably besides Third I's synthetic-sounding
bird-scape.
