Creel Pone and Four Reverbs "PRE-SET"

The thing was first about Creel Pone, an arcane Reykjavik formation or the one man only, Mr. P.C./C.P - an Icelandic "craftsman"... shady matter. There are some difficulties with placing the deffinition "records" after the label's name, it hardly can be called "label" at all. Creel Pone used to reissue series of LP covers and related packaging items, with everything printed as closely as possible (screenprinting method instead of CMYK process) to exact 5/12 scale including the inserts, label ephemera, booklets. In fact everything but the LP labels and the LP it's self. No sound carrier inside the first editions. "But almost immediately people wanted the missing element so I began including the music inside the sleeve on a CD-Recordable" – Creel Pone. Now each release is a limited fac-similé edition with a silver foil-stamp on the crystal-clear polypropylene compact-disc sleeve. An amaizing fact, the reproductions prime cost is higher than the everage cost they are distributed for. "It's not about money but just a way for pure and great art both in vision and sound" – citation. Found a "touching" discussion, partially dedicated to that mentioned Creel Pone's profit question, can barely believe it's not fake... worth to read.
The "missing element" and, actually, the inspiration subject is "Unheralded Classics of Electronic Music" as embossed on every foil-stamp. 1948–1981 – yes, those dates on the foil-seal as well... October 5th, 1948, the ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française) broadcast Pierre Schaeffer's "Cinq Etudes de Bruits" – hailed by many as the birthdate of musique concrète and subsequently electronic music composition as we know it. Explaining the "cutoff" of 1981 let's just say that 1981 is exactly half-way between the launch of the Fairlight CMI(Computer Musical Instrument ($25,000, 16kbs... just a note) in 1979 and the Yamaha DX7, featured a whole new type of synthesis called FM (Frequency Modulation), in 1983 – both synonymous with the onset of the "digital" era... or possibly this margin date was chosen owing to E-mu's Fairlight inspired E-mulator, 1981, a sampling keyboard by Dave Rossum and Scott Wedge.
Since I've written so many letters as regards Creel Pone and it's subject of exploration, you might have understoond – I've adopted this theme for my own research... and promise to inform you on time in my Four Reverbs Podcast, special serie marked with "PRE-SET". Unheralded Classics of Electronic Music. Look for updates.

Four Reverbs

Every four days my sidebar will be updated. It's kind of a podcast or whatever... four days, four tracks, mixed together carefully. From now on... The reason is an amount of music passing by. Some stuff is old, some is off time, some have been released as single or a compilation element, some have no actual correspondence to the blog content as a full-length but contain a few brilliants. All the scarps are at 128 kbps and packed with the whole bunch of info. Well, check it out from 12.03.2006

Rashim | Mosz

Founded 2003 by Stefan Nemeth, member of Radian, and Michaela Schwentner aka Jade, Mosz – Vienna-Berilin "non-conform musical strategies supporting" label, took off as formaly non-comformistic with Kapital Band 1 first release including a blank CD-R beside the one their album was burnt on. Further volumes by Martin Siewert, Lokai, Metalycée, Boris Hauf etc. were exploring rather inner "unconventionalism" then coresponding to the basic statement precisely.
11th release, November 2006. Rashim "suns.shadows" on Mosz. Gina Hell and Yasmina Haddad – a female duo. "Intitially we wanted to bring Xenakis and Techno together... well, in the end it sounded really different....", Gina says.
Well, in my humble opinion, the interbreeding experiment was a success... simply some part of the final material mutated as a result of the operation or just wasn't involved in. The symbiosis of Iannis Xenakis and Techno is an exact definition for this full-lenght montage scheme. Xenakis' stochastic mathematical techniques in compositions (Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases, aleatory distribution of points on a plane, Gaussian distribution, Boolean algebra, Brownian motion) and techno' square patterns. Sharply mapped piece. Medley of sampled acoustic guitar snippets, jazz drum kit unsophisticated passages intersecting the sharp drum-synth lines. "Our work process-really simple: Reason and Logic, but the sounds are produced by us, which might be the reason why it sounds so analogue - guitars and some instruments (kalimba, tambourin, keyboard, voices, bags, chairs..) and a minimalistic approach cause we're both in permanent war with technique and virtuosity", - Gina and Yasmina say.
More info: Florian Horwath (guitar), Martin Brandlmayr (drums, percussion, bass?) – member of Radian, Kapital Band 1, Trapist, Autistic Daughters and Howe Gelb (piano) collaborated Gina and Yasmina to fill this album with analogue warmth of the acoustic instruments.
NONCONVENTIONAL.

Beach House | Carpark

Baltimore duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally. Beach House on Carpark. Steady downpour.
Downloaded, been rotated for couple of days by now, had made me curious. I'd read near eight reviews before compiling this blog post to learn the subject (the modest revelation of the smatterer). Well, the debut now looks like a vintage traveler's suitcase totally pasted with the labels such as: Cocteau Twins, Young Marble Giants, Nico, Mazzy Star, Galaxie 500, Spiritualized, Slowdive.
"A penny dropping into a cup of oily water...sound of the ocean through an expensive cell phone... visions from the room of deaf... Beats are hand made from found sounds, xylophones, clanking bells, etc or taken from the heart of the organ when played live. There are no drum machines in Beach House, just simply recorded-onto-four track live drums or the pulse of the organs's heart." - an excerpt from Beach House' MySpace "Sounds Like" section.
Well, had spitted into the inadjustable identification scheme of the superior echelon critics.
"We don't consciously try to make it sound like anything else. These are just sounds that we like,"- Legrand says to Baltimore City Paper.
Pleasantly lulling to sleep homogeneity of the album, seemingly low for pop song rounds per minute, minimal amount of the tools... all forming a sharp mood piece. One mood writting=5 months in the basement studio, minimal number of over-dubbings, hyper speed. Components: opened refrens of vintage organ and delicate synths lazy oscillations paired with Alex' guitar muted slides and fingerings, Victoria's cooing and restrained dramatic vocals.
Three months of winter are yet to come...

x0xb0x | TB303 clone

The TB303 (Transistor Bass) was introduced by Roland in the early 1982's. Invented by Tadao Kikumoto, at that time the 303 was not expensive, only about £215. The small plastic-piece was intended to emulate a real bass player. Roland stopped producing them 18 months after releasing it. They'd produced about 20.000 copies alltogether (TB303+TR303 as these boxes was released and offered to the market at the same time). Nowdays, hardly several items on ebay, used equipment stocks sale some, and a safe price for the box in good condition is fluctuating around $700.

"Hello, my name is Limor & I'm an engineer."
Introducting the x0xb0x. It is not just another MIDI-controlled TB-303 clone. x0xb0x is a full reproduction of the original Roland synthesizer, with fully functional sequencer. These sick enthusiasts Deutsch engineers sourced all of the original components, even though "it took 6 months of harrassing people on the phone, but we tracked down all the original transistors. Just deciding on which potentiometers to go with took three solid weeks of searching through catalogs". Now, starting at $315.00 via Adafruit Industries. But of cource, this kit is in such high demand, you have to get on the waiting list to purchase it.

Vert | Sonig

3 "...years pass, Shibuya: "Oh hi, where do I know you from?
Wait, you're the guy I don't know", all enthusiasm gone
He said "It's kind of like a thriller that you saw & then forgot
Where you can't say who's the killer but you still know half the plot..."
- Vert, "Familiar girl"

Three years gone after "Small pieces loosely joined" was released on cologne Sonig. Still Michael Stipe look-a-like Adam Butler sits at the piano that he's used to play since 6 years old. He seems to change his wardrobe but forgot to burn his cap. And that' what is in the quote above. Well, "Some Beans and an Octopus". Shapes and shift, feedbacks, cuts junctions, samling controled errors, bitcrushes, gentely distorted drumlines supported by 8 bit sounds, notes failures and sustains - all the technical stuffing of the previous release, buched with unexpectable witty vocals. You can hardly call it as "vocals"(pardon), but you can easily call his words as "lyrics". Containg of the things you've been thinking of but couldn't give them a form, a literal shape. As for me, tricks like that have always been qualitative characteristics of the worthy reading (listening, in this case). Plus, "Some Beans and an Octopus" has been done in cahoots with musicians such as rapper Noah 23 ("definitely one of the best hip-hop albums of the year." (de:bug magazine)), turntablist DJ Elephant Power (cooking a new album on Sonig coming out in february) and a Serbian double bassist Fedor Ruskuc.

Andrea Belfi | Häpna

Two weeks ago i found this man on Häpna, one of the few. 27 year old Italian artist Andrea Belfi’s. His LP “Between Neck and Stomach“. "He’s been playing drums since he was 14, that gives you enough time to get bored of playing it the conventional way." The drummer reinterprets the instrument as the slow amorphous synth, fills the space of the track with the soft unbalanced tapping (on "Sunglass"). "Extraevil" brings more usual but still charming and illogicaly broken beat. The next three tracks architecture is even more destorted. And the last one - "footprints" is the "song" in all the meanings. What's highly amusing – "the acoustic elements and the electronic ones mingle, intertwine and sometimes switch places: the acoustic sounds are treated as they were electronic, and the actual electronic ones are played at the very moment." Hapna has been publishing an amount of carefully selected artists, has a sharp policy, and belfi is the one to give you the clear vision of this policy. Go to, get some.

• Bernard Parmegiani, "Dedans-dehors-jeux" | INA GRM ' 1992 (Bernard Parmegiani (1927) is a French composer of musique concrete who trained (1959) under Pierre Schaeffer in person. Originally a sound engineer and a mime, his first major composition was the theater piece Violostries (1964), compiled on the double-disc Violostries (Ina-GRM, 1992), that also contains Pour en Finir Avec le Pouvoir d'Orphee (1972), Exercisme 3 (1986), Le Present Compose' (1991), etc."Violostries" is from 1964 and is scored for solo violin and four channels." – Woebot's blog tells. Originally distributed by Philips France. "I implore you to find Parmegiani's "La Creation du Monde" or better yet "De Natura Sonorum" or better yet (well DNS is the accepted classic, but I have a personal fondness for this) "Dedan-Dehors" They're all available on CD.")
• Gordon Monohan, "Danse Aquatique" | Musicworks ' 2004 (Gordon Monahan's works for piano, loudspeakers, video, kinetic sculpture, and computer-controlled sound environments span various genres from avant-garde concert music to multi-media installation and sound art. As a composer and sound artist, he juxtaposes the quantitative and qualitative aspects of natural acoustical phenomena with elements of media technology, environment, architecture, popular culture, and live performance. Early in his career, he specialized as a pianist, performing John Cage's Etudes Australes, premiering pieces by James Tenney and Udo Kasemets, and composing extended works for acoustic piano (Piano Mechanics, 1981) and amplified prepared piano (This Piano Thing, 1989). The renowned composer John Cage once said, "At the piano, Gordon Monahan produces sounds we haven't heard before." Beginning in the late 1970's, he created sound works using elements of natural forces and the environment, eventually constructing long string installations activated by wind (Long Aeolian Piano, 1984-88), by water vortices (Aquaeolian Whirlpool, 1990) and by indoor air draughts (Spontaneously Harmonious in Certain Kinds of Weather, 1996). His work for electronic tone generators and human speaker swingers (Speaker Swinging, 1982), is a hybrid of science, music, and performance art, where minimalistic trance music based on the Doppler Effect contrasts with issues central to performance art such as physical struggle and 'implied threat'. Viewing the loudspeaker as a discrete instrument for generating or 'representing' music, Monahan has constructed a loudspeaker catapult (A Magnet That Speaks Also Attracts, 1986) and a series of 'imitation' loudspeaker installations (Music From Nowhere, 1989). During the 1990's he developed an ensemble of multi-functional computer-controlled sound-machines which undergo various transformations as performance and installation environments. In Machine Matrix (1994-96) a programmable MIDI computer controls the actions of a network of machine sculptures built from electronic surplus and industrial trash, which generate complex layers of acoustically produced sounds. A remote-controlled robot enters this environment and pretends to learn how to perform and behave on a public stage. He created an interactive mechanical sound installation for the Sony Center in Berlin (2000), and has recently developed new installations using computer-controlled water drops falling upon amplified objects (When it Rains, 2000/2002). Monahan's interest in 'hi- and low-tech' and 'high and low culture' led him to collaborate with Laura Kikauka and Bastiaan Maris in establishing The Glowing Pickle (Berlin, 1993-95), an electronic surplus store using 20 tons of discarded East German scientific equipment, parodying both communist and capitalist cultures.
Monohan has independently released several LPs ,CDs, and videotapes of his work. He also appears on the Electra/Nonesuch CD compilation Imaginary Landscapes: New Electronic Music. His first solo CD was released on Swerve Editions (Zone Books) in 1992. His videotapes are distributed through V-Tape (Toronto), The Kitchen (NY), and Verge (Peterborough, Canada). Monahan's written texts have been published in Musicworks (Toronto), Ear Magazine (New York), and Zeitschrift für Neue Musik (Frankfurt-Main).)
• Ann Southam, "Rewind" | CBC Records ' 2006 ("Ovation Volume 4" release notes: "CBC Records is proud to release OVATION: VOLUME 4, the next set of the multi-volume project documenting the emergence of a generation of pioneering professional composers that have established Canada’s place on the world’s musical map. This distinctly Canadian music is of the highest order but has not had the audiences nor the attention it deserves.
Each disc in this set, is dedicated to a single composer; each collects in one convenient place that composer’s most accessible and representative works. This fourth set celebrates the music of Robert Turner, Ann Southam, Brian Cherney and Istvan Anhalt." "Rewind" was recorded in 1984 for Toronto Arts Productions.)

• Vladimir Ussachevsky, "Two Sketches for a Computer Piece No.2" | New World Records ' 1991 (Obligatory lazy paste from a website: "Pioneers of Electronic Music" collects works created at the Columbia-Princeton Music Center, one of the more important early centers for electronic music. Included are works by Vladimir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, Pril Smiley, Bülent Arel, Mario Davidovsky, and Alice Shields. The works selected are from 1952 to 1971. Ussachevsky contributes several analog electronic pieces. His "Two Sketches for a Computer Piece" are completely electronic, and are the result of using a computer to sequence pitches. "...piece 2" is dated 1971." You, obviously, will hear a repeating sequence of sound, sort of loop, on the second minute of the track that seemed interesting to me not only as a cross-fade point but as a form of rhythm design, latter adopted by early techno musicians, now days known as "Basic Channel sound". As well, you can hear a hardly flanged layer over that loop... second track is coming effected by Traktor FX console.)
• Doris Hays, "Sacred trip" | Lo Recordings ' 2000 (The track was released on collection of library tracks compiled by Add N To (X) front-man Barry 7. The original recording is dated, surmisingly, 1960's/1970's. Still waiting for reply to my letter to LOAF, wait for update in this playlist.)
• Johann M. Beyer, "Music Of The Spheres" | Sub Rosa ' 2003 (Released on Sub rosa as a part of compilation "An anthology of noise & electronic music vol. 2 – second a-chronology 1936-2003" "Music of the Spheres" (1938) by little known American composer Johanna M. Beyer (1888-1944) has a Scelsi-like aura about it commencing with growling rasps (originally scored for lion-roar) and then evolving into hovering sonorities that softly undulate for the remainder of the 5:59 duration of the work. The work, perhaps one of the first to be scored for electronic instrumentation, was originally conceived as part of a theatre work and was scored for "three electronic instruments or strings". It was performed for this recording in 1977 by The Electric Weasel Ensemble boasting such distinguished members as Allen Strange, Brenda Hutchinson, Donald Buchla and Amirkhanian himself performing on Music Easel Synthesizers, live frequency shifting and triangle.)

• John Bischoff and Tim Perkis, "Touch Typing" | Artifact Recordings ' 1989 (Composer: Tim Perkis. Performer: Tim Perkis. Recorded: Mills College Concert Hall. This piece grew out of attempts to build a work based on the behavior of genes in biological systems. Perkis used a simplified model of sex and mutation: A string of bits defining a sound event (a "gene") is randomly mutated – one bit, selected at random, is flipped – or the entire gene is cut in half and mixed with another one. These actions are all done under the control of keys on the computer keyboard, which either play events ("express" the gene), cause a mutation to happen, or cause an event to be "bred" with another. This set of controls defines an instrument, which Perkis freely plays in the performance: "I fill the role of natural selection, by choosing to keep some sounds and discard others.")
• Bülent Arel, " Postlude from Music for A Sacred Service" | New World Records ' 1998 (among the others, New World's "Columbia – Princeton Electronic Music Center 1961- 1973" CD includes some works of the head of the Western music programs on Radio Ankara, founder and conductor of the Madrigal Chorus, designer and installer of the Yale’s first electronic music studio – Bülent Arel. His play "Music for a Sacred Service" was commissioned by the United Methodist Church of Illinois. The "Postlude" (mentioned in the list) is composed of cascading patterns, based on purely electronic sound sources modified by mixing and an orgy of tape splicing. The piece moves as a whole, in speed and complexity, from a broad and serious beginning to a virtuosic conclusion. Finished in 1961, it is is an example of finely detailed handwork in the pre-synthesizer days of electronic music. )
• Bülent Arel and Daria Semegen, "Out of into" | New World Records ' 1998 ("Out of Into" is a ribald animated film by Irving Krieberg of metamorphosing figures. The electronic music soundtrack for "Out of Into" was composed by Bülent Arel at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1971, with the technical and musical help of Daria Semegen. The sound sources are electronic. Techniques of construction include loops, mixing, and synchronized tape reels. Both composers also collaborated on the electronic piece "Trill Study", which was created with sound materials used for "Out of Into".)
• Toychestra, "Iren" | S.K. records ' 2002 (Toychestra is an all-women musical ensemble that plays toys. Some are actual instruments like toddler-sized pianos and xylophones and drums. Others just make great sounds, like the pink zoo train or Boo Megaphone or the acoustic, multi-sonic Activity Center. Still others are used for percussion, like the washboard, Don’t Wake Daddy, and woodblock. Each instrument is individually amplified with contact microphones and the collection is mixed live for a bigger electronic sound. This creates a sophisticated aural experience that is a far cry from a bunch of kiddies banging around.)

• Hugh Le Caine, "Dripsody" | Radio Canada Intl. ' 2004 ("Dripsody: An Étude for Variable Speed Recorder" (mono version) recorded in 1955 was Le Caine's first project for his new Multi-track Tape Recorder (formally known as the Special Purpose Tape Recorder). It was composed in one night using a recording of a drop of water falling into a bucket, re-recorded at different speeds to produce the pitches of a pentatonic scale. The version mentioned above is a stereo version dubbed in 1957, yet in National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa, in spite of the fact that his musical activities were permitted in NRC for the benefit of his work on the development of the first radar systems.)
• Hugh Le Caine, "Mobile" | Electronic Music Foundation ' 1999 ("Mobile: The Computer Laughed (Perpetual Motion)", composed in 1970, was one of the first pieces to be produced on the NRC Computer Music System.

"Sukirti" is the piece from 1983, a piece of cosmic "electro-jazz" Airaksinen developed in the 80's, fusing bebop, free jazz and the 808 drum machine sound, still astonishes.)
