Passive Cable Theory: 7 new albums > free downloads!

During week 42 of 2009 I recorded one short improvised noise session every night (one for every day of the week), with exactly the same setup (same sound sources, FX and some prerecorded samples to be mangled). October 24, saturday, was the first Passive Cable Theory live performance ever, and it's included here as album number 6 (42_24). On sunday the 25th I used a slightly different setup and no prerecorded samples, to make the harshest one of them all.

You can download them all now, for free, unedited, on the brand new Passive Cable Theory bandcamp page (you can even choose your preferred file format there: high or low quality mp3, CD quality wav, lossless flac, etc.): http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/

This are all 7 album pages where you can listen + download:

http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/album/42-19
http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/album/42-20

http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/album/42-23
http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/album/42-24
http://passivecabletheory.bandcamp.com/album/42-25

And here they are, all seven of them, with direct download links:

Circles around the world - Audiotalaia Netlabel compilation [at025]

I've got the honour to be featured on this great compilation, be sure to check it out!
(it's totally free, and Audiotalaia is a quality netlabel that really deserves your attention):

CIRCLES AROUND THE WORLD
various artists compilation

Circles Around The World is a various artists compilation that can be seen as a celebration of the 25th release in Audiotalaia Netlabel. Over this two years of work we have been releasing works from artist all around the world. For this special occasion we want to deliver a gathering of works under a common concept.

We asked the artists to work under certain premises. We asked them to try to portray some concepts or ideas on those pieces. Those concepts were based on the idea of a circle or cycle around the world, a journey across countries and cultures. The artists have been working on those ideas from the sonic point of view. Some of them have delivered tracks that represent features from the regions where they live. Some others have based their sound on travelling literature translating text into music. Some others have been working on soundscapes and sonic structures from their territory.

All together the compilation becomes a journey across the world, a conjunction of spaces, structures and scapes from all over the world. All of them are a representation of the thoughts and interests of each artist and their own perspective of the world.

Tracklist:

01. the love songs - londra	>>
02. offthesky - silt water tear	>>
03. the cherry blues project - the time is dead (remix)	>>
04. brunk - radiostoring	>>
05. philip sulidae - cloud music	>>
06. tsone - spray	>>
07. ennio mazzon - silea	>>
08. marcus kuerten - torcedora	>>
09. sunmoon - 44.425934, 26.092529 Terra	>>
10. edu comelles - el estado de las ovejas	>>
11. hiroki sasajima - roukoku	>>
12. sean cooper-marquardt - returning safely to the earth	>>

Nice brunk review in Italian MusicClub magazine

Antonello Manenti of Italian Musiczine MusicClub wrote a very nice review of the latest brunk album (insert coins to continue) . You can read it [ here ]. Btw, there's a funny picture there of me and my good friend Luther Blissett - so I guess that's a nice hint of Karen Eliot there as well :-) I'll try to translate the text in English soon but here is the Italian version already:

Atterrato a Parigi con 15 min. di anticipo. Non ho nulla da fare a Parigi e nemmeno soldi per andarci. E poi nemmeno sono atterrato a Parigi ma a Bouvais, ad un’ora e 13 euro di viaggio da Parigi. Però ho tempo ed una persona cara da accompagnare. E Bergamo è solo ad un’ora e 5 euro da Parigi. Mattinata libera e da buon accompagnatore vado a farmi un giretto turistico. Notre-Dame de Paris. Troppi italiani e troppi giapponesi che in fila per entrare socializzano tra loro con grandi sorrisi e massacri anglofoni. L’anno scorso sono andato a messa a Notre-Dame de Paris. Siccome c’era la messa l’entrata per i fedeli era gratis. Così sono andato a messa. Alla fine della fiera una jap che voleva portarsi in Japponia una particola come souvenir è stata inseguita placcata e il corpo di Nostro Signore recuperato da un chierichetto durante la comunione. Avrei pagato il biglietto per una scena così. Insert Coins to Continue. Oltre ad essere la nuova frontiera del linguaggio ecclesiastico ( [...] l’espressione “Offerta Libera” nel contesto della raccolta delle elemosine a suffragio dei defunti si consideri decaduta a favore del più immediato “Insert Coin to Continue” [...]. Circolare papale numero 437 del 27/11/2009 ) è anche il titolo dell’album che mi sparo uscendo dalla chiesa. Il lavoro è gratuito e scaricabile dal sito dell’etichetta WM Recordings (http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm092.htm ) che dispone tra l’altro di un’apprezzabile sezione “Latest free downloads”. Si tratta di un DIY: suona tale che (ma sarà proprio vero quel che sto dicendo?) se non fossero esistiti John Oswald, Negativeland, The ECC & C. questo album non esisterebbe... per intenderci... e se non ci intendiamo avete sbagliato rubrica: girate pagina e leggetevi le recensioni di Virginia o di MoonFish, che tra l’altro sono entrambi più belli e preparati di me. Divagazione sul DIY: Do It Youself è un genere musicale codificato, che ha una storia precisa, che ha regole compositive e stilemi determinati: non è “...mi faccio l’album in casa con quello che ho perché non ci ho i soldi per lo studio di registrazione...”. Il 98% dei musicisti che dicono di fare DIY non fanno DIY. Non necessariamente fanno MERDA, ma non fanno DIY. Il Signore sarà comunque indulgente con loro. Sopratutto se sono punk narco promozionalisti. Insert Coins to Continue, del belga Brunk, è un lavoro molto suggestivo che divarica magistralmente l’immaginazione. Ogni pezzo è una piece scenografica diversa, contigua e susseguente. Non è raro che gli esempi migliori di DIY sovrappongano le loro impronte al cinema. E non è un caso. Se siete curiosi e ignoranti andate a sentirvi il programma radiofonico di People Like Us: Do or DIY in onda su WFMU (http://wfmu.org/playlists/PL ). La musica si conosce ascoltandola. No leggere libri. Libri di musica brutti. Sì aguzzare le orecchie. E costa anche di meno. La bellezza di questo album e la bravura di Brunk stanno nella sua spontaneità: nonostante innumerevoli ed eterogenei campioni, VST e materiali vari il montaggio ed il mixaggio del musicista sono riusciti a rendere ogni brano scorrevole, piacevole, orecchiabile e quasi istintivo ma mai prevedibile. Ci sono campioni presi da ogni dove: frammenti di pezzi funky di cui s’è perso titolo e memoria, registrazioni prese dalla TV (in Never Ever Ever c’è il campionamento di una partita di calcio italiana! Atalanta – Siena o Atalanta qualcosa d’altro... incredibile... un musicista Belga che mi va a campionare una partita che magari io ho pure visto allo stadio. Ho l’abbonamento all’Atalanta), pezzi registrati direttamente da Brunk (basso, chitarre, rumori, percussioni, flauti... di tutto!). Tra i campioni presi dalla TV c’è anche un pezzo dei Simpson (in Violence on TV) e uno dei Thunderbirds (in Berror). Il disco, terminato nel 2006 risulta publicato da WM Recordings nel 2009. Tutto è stato montato con un vecchio Apple G4 ed editato con Cubase, registrate le parti acustiche con microfoni da 5 euro e beats programmati con Reason (non tutti, solo alcuni). Assolutamente da ascoltare prendendo appunti Informative Note (intro) e Allrighty Then (outro). Così si iniziano e si finiscono le cose! Yeah! www.brunk.be/

All I can add is: yeah! Thanks Antonello :-)
