Mr.Dorgon “Smell the Glove” [cdr] Rob Price-theremin / Mr. Dorgon-Saxophone, clarinet, harmonica / DJ $ Shot-turntable “Another strange and interesting release from Mr. Dorgon, mostly recorded in NYC with one track from his new San Francisco home. Mostly minimal jazz with Dorgon playing a fair amount of clarient, ending with some of the dirtiest and most distorted harmonica playing you may have ever heard. To go along with the new “dirty” covers…”

Mr.Dorgon “Bumbaklaat” [cdr] “Starting with a brutal distortion rhythm, the two parts ofBumbaklaat returns to thick distortions and intense squiggly sounds.

nonvisualobjects (Austria) :

Heribert Friedl “Bradycard” [cd] bradycard, a medical term means: to have a very slow heart-rhythm,mostly under 60 beats per minute. the soundwork consists of digitally processed hackbrett (cymbalon), a combination of minimal digital soundscapes, fieldrecordings and acoustic phrases. it is built of very slow, from meditative to almost lethargic gestures that bring the mind into a smoothly, flowing state. heribert friedl, 2005. ltd. ed. of 300 copies in cardboard cover.

Roel Meelkop “>MOMENTUM<” [cd] This CD contains tracks that are based on works for specific spatial and temporal conditions. Sound installations are very different from compositions for CD, because circumstances differ widely from one situation to the other. In general, my approach to sound installations is more conceptual and systematic than my approach to sound works for CD. The spaces and events involved demand a more specific response to composing than the loudspeakers in my studio and living room. Sound installations are often multi-channel pieces, designed to fit in a certain space (in most cases an exhibition space in which they have to coexist with other works of art) whereas works for CD are composed for regular use in a regular situation (in most cases most likely the living room). To turn sound installation pieces into something more regular is not an easy task and I have been pondering about this for some time. In the end I decided to just give it a try and with careful editing I was able to come up with a satisfactory translation. The result is this CD: it gives an overview of some of the installations I have done in the last eight years. Some tracks are basically the same as the installation, others have been transformed into works that fit better the medium it is presented on. Roel Meelkop, 2005. Ltd. ed. of 300 copies in cardboard cover.

Steve Roden “oder delias or butterflies ” [cd] “4/8/05 from a dream, nyc – i tried to order “oder delias” in a restaurant, which i remember as rice forms floating in broth. the phrase “oder delias” running through my head over and over through-out the dream, even as i awoke it was with me for awhile. (also in the dream, the waitress i was talking to said not to order the “oder delias” because it was too expensive. i remember now it was $9.)” when i wrote to heribert that i wanted to title my cd “oder delias”, he replied “how is the title to understand?, oder = is a german word (engl. or?), delias – are these kind of butterflies? ” as i have worked on many projects translating languages that i don’t understand into english through the suggestions of their sounds or spellings; i thought heribert’s meanings of my dream words seemed perfect – thus the title “oder delias or butterflies”. the main source material for the sound was a beautiful bamboo flute made for me by bernhard günter that arrived in the mail around the
time of heribert’s invitation to make this cd. i’ve also added a few other sounds which are not from my dreams, nor rice forms, and most likely not butterflies …steve roden, 2005. Ltd. ed. of 300 copies in cardboard cover.

Plop (Japan) :

FilFla “Frame” [cd] FilFla is another new alias from the Tokyo based musician Keiichi Sugimoto who is known as Fourcolor with his beautiful outputs from 12K, Apestaartje. Among his other projects such as Fonica, Minamo, Installing and Good Music, FilFla is probably his most composed outfit ever adding rhythmic elements actively to rather more song oriented arrangements than his usual minimal style. Maybe you could call it as the developed version of Fonica with beats since the fundamental parts and sound materials heard in this album were first prepared for Fonica’s new album. Not to mention his precise and delicate digital processing and the overall beautiful impression of his atmospheric landscape is still present. He also runs the great Cubic music label.

Spekk (Japan) :

Various Artists “Small Melodies” [cd] With ultra milkmaids, sogar, tomoyoshi date, taylor deupree, hervé boghossian, aen, naph, tape, oren ambarchi, fenton, RdL, anderegg, mondii, stephan mathieu.
“This is the first compilation album from Spekk compiled by the label owner mondii. Each of the artists were asked to compose a track with their interpretations of “small melodies” with Keywords like Warm, tender and calm. It was meant to present diversity of minimal-style music in a peaceful “harmonic” way. And it was a coincidence that both Taylor Deupree & Stephan Mathieu created a track dedicated to their child. The first half of the album is the more “digital” side and the last half more “analog” side encompassing laptop digital processed music – field recording materials (For instance, Naph’s track is only made out of frequencies within the wind/air) – band oriented materials. Participants delivers these great pieces of music from various continents including USA, Sweden, France, Germany, Australia and Japan showing slight relationships between each other which kind of gives us a warm feeling of unity within this ongoing global minimalist scene. It was also my intention to present that nowadays, there are not much differences between the outputs from more digital background artists and more band oriented musicians due to their methods of composing (technology) and interests and such. Evidently, more and more rock labels will release digital processed music and bands will use digital softwares, electronic artists will become more aware of small sounds and warmth within the nature. I take this positive!” (Nao Sugimoto)

Seth Nehil

Composition holds the possibility of placing into conjunction divergent areas or parallel streams, and
can form a new space from the fusing of “unacceptable” contrasts. A search for sounds may lead the ear into
diverse sonic fields, carrying or placing a microphone to collect documents – the almost-closed interior of a
ceramic urn, the reflective chamber of an open room, the diffused area of a wooded path, the extensive
dimensions of a grassy field…  Fields of activity and interaction.

Seth Nehil (b. 1973) is an american visual, performance and sound artist.
He started to work with sound around 1990 using found objects and instruments,
old records, reel-to-reel machines, discarded magnetic tape and other detritus.
Then, Alial Straa was formed in 1994 by John Grzinich and Seth Nehil as a studio project
involving Grzinich’s handmade amplified piano wire instruments and Nehil’s
analogue tape treatments and instruments.
The heart of Straa music is the topographical contour of an immense plain – a ‘balanced field’.

He also worked with N D magazine from 1995-2000 as a writer and artistic contributor.
He received a BA in studio art from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998 and now resides in Portland,
Oregon where he works as a teacher’s assistant in a Montessori elementary classroom.
He currently continues collaborations with John Grzinich, Olivia Block and Michael Northam in sound, performance and organization.
