Rad #2 - Tala Ur Minnet

or, as the old adage goes:
"Red Fish, White Meat."

the Bergen center for electronic art (BEK) organised a great evening of poetry readings and improvised music. location was the private cabin of composer Knut Vaage.
participants were Anne Marthe Dyvi, Espen Sommer Eide, Dag-Are Haugan, Sigbjørn Apeland, Signe Lidén, of course Knut Vaage himself, and me.
names were drawn right then and there to form instantaneous duo-combo's, and everything inevitably culminated in a full-headcount improv session.
find a small photo-report by Anne Marthe Dyvi here.
the whole thing should have been recorded thoroughly, and will be mixed down shortly i hope.

Symphonie Monotrone - a preview

just finished a small feedback symphony for acoustic guitar and Korg Monotron in 5 movements. totals about 18 minutes - here's the fourth movement in a sneak preview.

4 division by Remörk138

of course it's 'just noise' as the neighbours would say.
still, props to Korg: some amazing sounds in a machine small enough to pocket.
haven't even gotten round to heating up the soldering iron yet.
(not that i don't plan to, but that's a different story altogether.)

so you'll hear the Korg Monotron just as i bought it in the store, and a distorted acoustic guitar.. no extra fx added.

enjoy.


edit: the whole thing will be released as NoBasementIsDeepEnough #05, a tape on 51 copies in a beautiful handmade package for which the elderly are being whipped in the sweatshop as we speak.
