soundsculpt






















































ARC Canada put together a lovely cross section of sound sculpture spanning 3 decades of works. The collection was housed for 60 days at the Vancouver Art Gallery. During the collections stay multiple recordings were made within the gallery's conducive environment. The collection was curated by experimental sound and tape artist David Rosenboom (who had a short stint at Mills College here in Oakland) The recordings feature sounds not found on the Sonambient series of Harry Bertoia, making this collection heavily sought after by Bertoia collectors. Additional recordings of works by Francois & Bernard Baschet, Stephan Von Huene, Reinhold Pieper Marxhausen and David Jacobs make for a wonderful and eclectic collection of outerworldly soundscapes. A must hear for any sound art enthusiast!

LIGHT-TURNING, WURLITZER JUKEBOX, L.P., 1996, U.K.

light



Amazing 1996 release by sometimes Amp & FSA collaborator. UK based artist who recently released his John Peel sessions which are also fantastic and can be found via Unlabel. He borrowed gear (including Dave FSA's 4-track) to make this recording happen. For us it embodies everything a great spacerock album should have. its super lush and beautiful drifting vocals are quite a treat. Dave suppossedly ad's a hand on the B-side of this record, either that or Light summons the aid FSA 4-track ghosts to chime in... theres a 7" with the title track "Turning" on Wurlitzer Jukebox worth getting as well. both LP and 7" are pretty limited and hard to find these days... a pillar in the uk lo-fi spacerock catalog of releases. beautiful...

2.3 CHILDREN- THREE S/T 7", 1982, U.S.A

2.3












































2.3 children hail from san francisco these three 7 inches were on penguin records all dated 1982, 2.3 make some very strange, creepy and hilarious music "other peoples l.p.'s" for example is arguably an overlooked funnier than all hellbent classic for any record nut, other favorites include "drunk in the afternoon" and "harry bop slow" although relevance of these folks is some what an obscure topic i imagine 2.3 sharing couch with the residents, chrome and other s.f. comrades serving up the same brand of neo political or not.. wacked out lunacy!! i believe these three 7 inchers to be there complete discography however any help or info on the group would be very welcomed.... if you are in the mood for a laugh or just want to hear some very interesting and bizarre music give em a try.

THE WIND HARP-SONG FROM THE HILL, , UA, LP, 1972, U.S.A

A giant hand and home made harp is made by a bunch of free loving/thinking hippies

TRISTEZA-TEARLESS LIMA, TOUR ONLY CDR +BONUS TRACKS, 2005, MEXICO

lima






















self released by tristeza with help from bulbo of tijuana and in conjunction with Japanese tour:

there might be a common misconception that tristeza follows a certain code of musical terrain to abide by, however trim your ear hairs -these next few posts should prepare that tristeza's sound is not only beyond trivial and mostly lifeless tags such as post rock or instrumental, it can actually transcend said genre's muffin although at times true is the sword, we cannot stop lifeless quiffs or horrible luck. I know for a fact that the pretty and quiet than so loud your brain caves in formula that most "instrumental bands" explore bores this band stiff...in several instances you might add: post punk, kraut, minimal synth, ambient, drone, dub, heelgaze, prog, and musique concrete to the descriptive cataloger of tristeza's sound corral.

some music that may have influenced these recordings include:

cluster, neu, bark psychosis, chris and cosey, silver apples, loop, windy and carl, felt, dif juz, durriti column, cocteau twins, john cage, cybotron, spacemen 3, chrome, talk talk and various psychadelicks.

In addition to 16 track cd post includes 13 live and unreleased songs.
