MINAMO “DURÉE”

“The best 12k/LINE release in ages, dark, Lynchian, eroded tape-loops and analogue menace”

“It’s past midday at the river-end of the idyllic rolling hills and endless railways of Sydney’s Newington Armory. I’ve been trailing Seaworthy’s Cameron Webb through the dens and trenches that permeate this converted military base. The landscape here, away from the roads and cars that have recently snaked through the property, is pre-World War I. There’s a functional efficiency here that contrasts with modern Sydney, with the bunkers, mounds and concrete slabs making the Armory seem like a museum. One expects these functional designs to be surrounded by people, but the premises are totally barren today.”…..

i am very happy to announce that the 12k forum is back online. however, all of the data (posts, users, etc) that was lost in the server changeover could not be recovered. sad as that may be, i felt it was better to have the forum back, even if we had to start it over again. in the 3 days or so that it’s been around there’s already a flurry of activity. head on over and register and join in the talks about music, art, recording and culture.

12K FORUM

kenneth kirschner’s double CD “filaments & voids” tops musiquemachine’s 2009 best of list. we also see the wonderful “1897″ by Seaworthy on the list.

the final sound of this year with a little bit of video. a beautiful, snowy december 31st here in Pound Ridge and one minute of audio composed with an old acoustic guitar, an ebow, and an electro harmonix looping box. this One Sound Each Day project has been a lot more difficult than ever imagined it would be, but i felt that i discovered and appreciated everyday sounds in a totally new way throughout the year. i hope the quiet and often mundane sounds of my every day life have inspired you to listen more closely around your everyday as well.

DECEMBER 31
Pound Ridge, NY 3:39pm

(because video can not be easily embedded into WordPress (at least not that i know of, unless you pay $60, please follow this link for the final sound and video)

the last week of the year and the last of the sounds. today i’ll be composing a little bit of music, maybe 1 minute long, with a broken guitar destined for the big guitar rack in the sky, and that will be the last sound of the year. for now, here’s the last week of quiet sounds, some of the simple sounds which made me stop and listen more closely.

DECEMBER 23
no sound.

DECEMBER 24
New Hartford, CT, around 9pm

a tall, 4-tined sculpture by Harry Bertoia owned by my uncle who’s father was given the sculpture by Bertoia himself. this was recorded on christmas eve and, sadly, in a rush only with my iPhone as, in classic Tascam DR-1 style, the “fully charged” battery proved to be dead.

DECEMBER 25
Suffield, CT, 7:15am

an old, spinning, wooden christmas toy in the library of my parents’ house in front of the fireplace on christmas morning.

DECEMBER 26
Suffield, CT, late morning

rain on the tin roof of my parents’ house, recorded through a partially open window.

DECEMBER 27
Pound Ridge, NY, morning

a water-spritz bottle, misting the houseplants.

DECEMBER 28
Pound Ridge, NY, 3:04pm

shaking a California “San Francisco” snow globe. unfortunately, you can’t hear the sound of the glittery “snow” settling on the skyline.

DECEMBER 29
Norwalk, CT, around 1pm

at a bowling alley with annoying music, loud people, and the oddly fun sport of bowling.

DECEMBER 30
Pound Ridge, NY, 5pm?

one of the last recordings to be made with a broken guitar (owned by gwendolyn alker and kenneth kirschner). this was the guitar used on “northern”, but it’s in pretty sad shape. it’s resting on a chair.
