			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2076" title="frog-rock" src="http://blog.noise-below.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/frog-rock_re.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="509" /><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Mai Pen Rai<br />
orl 07 / rekem 02</strong></p>
<p>Thai &amp; Balinese frog rock field recordings<br />
<strong> </strong>7&#8221; (pressed on a 12&#8243; platter) and eco sky lantern<br />
packed in a custom-made, silk-screened frog rock tote bag.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p><em>Mai Pen Rai is an edition of two releases in one, or how two random recordings of a travelogue fit together and after a four year journey are finally released&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">the first and the third track of the record capture the experience of Maya Lavda in the summer 2008 during a trip to Bali, where, while shooting with her video camera she noticed frog sounds behind a closed door which she followed to record with her camera. Revisited after the trip, these sounds revealed themselves fitting for a mantra-like locked groove record.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">the second track comes from orila&#8217;s journey in Thailand over the summer of 2009. Following an after-storm quest for the sound &#8211; that a permanent resident jokingly referred to as the sounds produced by water buffaloes &#8211; the true origin revealed itself within a scene of majestic nature. In remembrance of this experience, every copy of this release is accompanied by a Thai sky lantern.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">as the passion for the frogs was growing both in orila and rekem we decided to unite these findings in the form of a 7&#8243; cut on a 12” plate. This way, these recordings would not only remind us of the actual journey(s), but also the ideas around which a substantial part of our lives evolved through the last four years.</p>
<p><em>And they lived happily ever after</em></p>

<p>ok, here it&#8217;s much more understandable how i&#8217;d miss these as phase! had the good sense of announcing their two latest editions on the evening of december 29 out of all days. Maybe they were trying to beat the clock and not release anything on a jinxed year such as 2012 -though i doubt that. Anyway, two greek projects, <strong>beaTol &amp; the Eagol</strong>&#8216;s &#8216;Ολντ Σκουλ&#8217; is an idiosyncratic plunderphonic pop something, certainly a curio. Proper pop music for the dazed and terminally sane. On <strong>ΤΟ ΔΥΟ ΕΥΡΩ</strong>&#8216;s &#8216;Το Βασίλειο του Χοντρού&#8217; i have very little to say cause i&#8217;m not familiar with the project, suffice to say though that the credits (vocals / chant / prose by one member, and musical accompaniment by the other) are promising. They are also described as a &#8216;greek transvestite duo&#8217;, don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s an actual description or if it&#8217;s meant to suggest something in the music. Both discs come in lovingly packaged and severely limited cdr editions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ok, posts do fall through the cracks here. What with the holiday season and all that hubbub, what with the string of fabulous gigs in athens we had to provide notice for, I realize i&#8217;ve yet to mention the latest LP to come out on thessaloniki&#8217;s granny records. And it&#8217;s a nice cookie this one, the latest album from good luck mr. gorsky member and standalone solo artist, <strong>inverz</strong> (real name: Savvas Metaxas), titled &#8216;<strong>my machines</strong>&#8216;. His first one on vinyl, fourth in total.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.grannyrecords.org/releases/my-machines-lp-granny07" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2012" src="http://blog.noise-below.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/inverz-my-machines.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><strong>inverz</strong><br />
<strong> my machines</strong> LP | granny07<br />
edition of 250<br />
<a href="http://www.grannyrecords.org/releases/my-machines-lp-granny07" target="_blank">more info + samples here</a></p>
<p>&#8216;my machines&#8217; is quite the departure for Savvas, given that his previous ones carried a heavy Oren Ambarchi influence and also relied, predictably, on guitar, while this one builds its ambient soundscapes mostly out of processed and reproduced vinyl records, disembodied extracts from other sources and so on. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, cut and D+M in berlin, a bright future carved out for it.</p>

<p>ok, <em>this</em> is what a proper label headquarters looks like when you&#8217;ve got new releases coming up (and probably much worse, mind you). You definitely have no space for yourself to sleep on the bed (let alone your dog, cat, or, god-forbid, your girlfriend). And this is apparently what <strong>more mars</strong>&#8216; hq looks like these days, as they have not one but <em>two</em> new editions on their 3&#8243; <em>nous series</em>. All the better for us!</p>
<p>these two, very lovely, quite limited (120 each), 3&#8243; releases are:</p>
<p><strong>Chris  Heenan + Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga &#8211; Der schlaue fushs</strong> [<a href="http://www.moremars.org/release-chris_heenan_dimitra_lazaridou_chatzigoga.html" target="_blank">web</a>] [<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/ChrisHeenanDimitraLazaridou-chatzigoga-DerSchlaueFuchspart1" target="_blank">excerpt</a>]<br />
<strong>Yiannis Tsirikoglou &#8211; Dust</strong> [<a href="http://www.moremars.org/release-yiannis_tsirikoglou.html" target="_blank">web</a>] [<a href="http://vimeo.com/24742293" target="_blank">vimeo</a>]</p>
<p>the first one being an improvised duo from US-born, Berlin-based sax/clarinet player <strong>Chris Heenan</strong> and our very own zither player, <strong>Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga</strong>, while the second one is a construction that resulted from an audio/visual collaboration that <strong>Yiannis Tsirikoglou</strong> had with artist <strong>Mariska De Groot</strong>.</p>
<p>Chris is an improviser/composer/promoter/member in various groupings. Dimitra is best known for her collaboration with Ferran Fages in ap&#8217;strophe, but more and more these days as a solo artist as well. Yiannis is known for his part in the Thessaloniki-based band, eventless plot, but has been lately spending time on his own in The Hague.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>the fine fine <strong>echomusic</strong> label, run by one yiorgis sakellariou (aka: mecha/orga), is now officially a netlabel. Changing with the times, yiorgis decided this was the way to go for now, feeling he could better serve the music through the vast information avenues we now call the internet. Gone are the cdr editions, hello mp3, flac and wav. All downloads are free.</p>
<p>echomusic information hotspots:<br />

<a href="http://soundcloud.com/echomusicrecordings" target="_blank">http://soundcloud.com/echomusicrecordings</a></p>
<p>now for their first net release,</p>
<p>which is an album from <strong>Strotter Inst.</strong> (swiss-born Christoph Hess) who creates music through the use of old, modified Lenco turntables, the sounds of which he conjures and manipulates. His music is electric and repetitive, but at the same time presents a mechanistic, fuzzy, unclean and unstable sound. His echomusic release, <strong>Widerhall,</strong> is a compilation of live recordings that took place between March and June 2010, during the tour of Strotter Inst. in the United States.</p>

<p>new release by Phase! Records main-man Panagiotis Spoulos&#8217; <strong>Dead Gum</strong> project, out now on Big Blood&#8217;s &#8216;<strong>Don&#8217;t Trust the Ruin</strong>&#8216; label</p>
<h2>Dead Gum &#8211; Doubleganger dttr 031 CD-R</h2>
<p>dttr say: &#8220;Dead Gum is  the solo project of Panagiotis Spoulos (other projects of his include:  Reverse mouth, Wham Jah, Postblue, and running Phase! Records), from  Athens, Greece. This past summer we toured with Dead Gum in Greece and  we were blown away every night. Doubleganger is quite a journey, the  constant thread seems to be loner style electric guitar that feels like  the end of it all … quite, desolate, brutal, noisy, and 100% sincere.  Handmade screen printed Art work by Colleen Kinsella (10 songs – 38  minutes)</p>
<p>**Cassette of this one soon&#8221;</p>

<p><strong></strong>(the 2nd issue of the fanzine &#8216;the wrong end of the telescope&#8217;) 12/2011</p>
<p>constructed under an enthusiasm for fairytales, stories &amp; influenced from various 7&#8243;s/LPs of my children&#8217;s records collection,  &#8216;weird fairytales&#8217; was born as a farewell edition for the transformation  of absurd from chrysallis to a butterfly that then flew to eternity in  xanthi last december (2010) but due to the limited time for its  construction &amp; release gave me the chance for a new trilogy was  given so got hooked on it and the frans de waard / howard stelzer 7&#8243; was  issued as its 1st part and now comes the 2nd installment a compilation  of fairytales &amp; stories from greece and the rest of the world  narrated by <strong>michel doneda</strong> (france), <strong>leif elggren</strong> (sweden), <strong>sonic  catering band</strong> (uk), <strong>if,bwana</strong> (usa), <strong>geoff dugan</strong> (usa), <strong>vague</strong> (switzerland) &amp; from greece, <strong>sokrates martinis, spyros fengos,  dimitri karageorgos, nikos kyriazopoulos, adam_is</strong> telling us their  beloved fairytales or creating new stories or even transfering stories  of places they&#8217;ve been and were told in this 2nd part (which will be  completed later with fairytales and stories about total destruction,  death and rebirth) which is constructed as various of my beloved  children&#8217;s records one side of which includes the more &#8216;musical&#8217; part (therefore  the sound construction side is the first) whereas the other has the  narration (in this case treated voices &amp; sounds plus 2 narration  parts). having as cover the photo of  a fellow conceptualist of little amaryllis elafrou who was given as a  friend from a forest to her sometime ago, printed &amp; designed by mikes adamis.</p>
<p>issue limited to 200 copies.</p>

<strong> LP</strong><br />
(ή το δεύτερο τεύχος του fanzine &#8216;η λάθος άκρη του τηλεσκόπιου&#8217;) 12/2011</p>
<p>δημιουργημένο εν μέσω εμμονών με παραμύθια, ιστορίες και επηρεασμένο  απο αρκετά  βινύλια απο τη συλλογή των παιδικών δίσκων μου τα παράξενα παραμύθια γεννήθηκαν ως αποχαιρετιστήρια ιδέα για το τελευταίο τίναγμα των φτερών του absurd την ώρα που απο χρυσαλλίδα μεταμορφωνόταν σε πεταλούδα στην πόλη της   ξάνθης το δεκέμβρη του 2010. λόγω έλλειψης χρόνου δώθηκε μια ευκαιρία   για να ξεκινήσω μία τριλογία, αρχή της το 7&#8243; των howard stelzer / frans de waard και τώρα η συνέχεια μια συλλογή με παραμύθια και ιστορίες απο την ελλάδα και τον υπόλοιπο κόσμο με αφηγητές τους <strong>michel doneda</strong> (γαλλία), <strong>sonic catering band</strong> (αγγλία), <strong>if,bwana</strong> (αμερική), <strong>geoff dugan</strong> (αμερική), <strong>vague</strong> (ελβετία), <strong>leif elggren</strong> (σουηδία) &amp; απο ελλάδα τους <strong>σωκράτη μαρτίνη, νίκο κυριαζόπουλο, adam_is, σπύρο φέγγο</strong>, να αφηγούνται με το δικό τους τρόπο αγαπημένα τους   παραμύθια, να εξιστορούν νέες διηγήσεις ή να μεταφέρουν ιστορίες που   τους είπαν μέρη στα οποία βρέθηκαν σε αυτό το δεύτερο μέρος (που θα   ολοκληρωθεί με ιστορίες και παραμύθια απόλυτης καταστροφής θανάτου και   αναγέννησης). στημένη όπως αρκετοί αγαπημένοι μου παιδικοί δίσκοι όπου η   μία πλευρά ήταν συνήθως η πιο &#8216;μουσική&#8217; στην προκειμένη είναι η ηχητική ενώ η άλλη είχε την αφήγηση. στην  προκειμένη  έχουμε ήχο με φωνή και δύο απλές αφηγήσεις. με φωτογραφία  εξωφύλλου  ενός συνοδοιπόρου που χάρισε ένα δάσος κάποτε στη μικρή  αμαρυλίς ελαφρού  και έστησε ο μικές αδάμης αναλαμβάνοντας και την εκτύπωση του.</p>

<p>Περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το βιβλίο (από τον πρόλογο του Brian Eno και από το δελτίο τύπου):</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Το ανά χείρας βιβλίο σκιαγραφεί την ανάδυση μιας, αγγλοαμερικανικής κυρίως, μουσικής παράδοσης που προέκυψε μέσα από τις ιδέες και τη μουσική του John Cage και διαφοροποιήθηκε ριζικά από τo συντηρητικό αισθητικό πλαίσιο της ευρωπαϊκής μεταπολεμικής αβανγκάρντ. Οι καλλιτέχνες στους οποίους αναφέρεται (Μorton Feldman, Christian Wolff, David Tudor, Fluxus, Cornelius Cardew, Αlvin Lucier, Steve Reich, AMM, MEV και πολλοί άλλοι) ασχολήθηκαν με τη μουσική ως διαδικασία χωρίς την επιδίωξη ενός τελικού προϊόντος. Διεύρυναν τα όρια της μουσικής συνθέτοντας έργα με ευέλικτη δομή, χρησιμοποιώντας δημιουργικά την τυχαιότητα, την περφόρμανς, τα αυτοσχέδια ηλεκτρονικά συστήματα και τον ελεύθερο αυτοσχεδιασμό. Ο Michael Nyman συγκεντρώνει αυτές τις προσεγγίσεις και καταγράφει για πρώτη φορά την ιστορία τους σε μια ενιαία αφήγηση. To βιβλίο κυκλοφόρησε σε πρώτη έκδοση το 1974 και επανεκδόθηκε το 1999, παραμένοντας μέχρι σήμερα η κύρια βιβλιογραφική πηγή για την ιστορία της πειραματικής μουσικής.<br />
<strong>Από το δελτίο τύπου του εκδότη</strong>.</p>
<p>Αν λοιπόν αυτό ήταν η πειραματική μουσική, τότε ποιο ήταν το πείραμα; Ίσως η συνεχής επαναδιατύπωση της ερώτησης «τι άλλο θα μπορούσε να είναι η μουσική;», η απόπειρα να ανακαλύψουμε τι μας καθιστά ικανούς να βιώνουμε κάτι ως μουσική. Και απ’ αυτό, καταλήξαμε στο ότι ημουσική δεν χρειαζόταν να έχει ρυθμούς, μελωδίες, αρμονίες, δομές, ή έστω νότες· ότι δεν χρειαζόταν να συμπεριλαμβάνει όργανα, μουσικούς και ειδικές αίθουσες. Έγινε αποδεκτό ότι η μουσική δεν ήταν κάτι εγγενές σε συγκεκριμένους συσχετισμούς πραγμάτων –σε συγκεκριμένους τρόπους οργάνωσης των ήχων– αλλά ουσιαστικά αποτελούσε μια αντιληπτική διαδικασία την οποία εμείς, ως ακροατές, μπορούσαμε να επιλέξουμε να κατευθύνουμε. Ο «τόπος» της μουσικής μετακινήθηκε από το «εκεί έξω» στο «εδώ μέσα». Αν τελικά υπάρχει κάποιο διαχρονικό μήνυμα μέσα από την περιπέτεια της πειραματικής μουσικής είναι αυτό: τη μουσική τη φτιάχνει η αντίληψή μας. Ήταν μια επαναστατική πρόταση, και ακόμη είναι. Το βιβλίο του Nyman, γραμμένο από έναν άνθρωπο που βίωσε την επανάσταση της πειραματικής μουσικής από πρώτο χέρι, καταφέρνει να συλλάβει το πνεύμα εκείνων των καιρών.<strong><br />
Brian Eno, Πρόλογος στη δεύτερη έκδοση (1999)</strong></p></blockquote>
