organized music from thessaloniki #9 / absurd #82
research center for the definition of happiness (istanbul branch)

the new album by this greek-welsh trio is now available, just 11 years after their debut ‘All Angels’ on Costis Drygianakis’ EDO label. An expansive piece for bowed and e-bowed tones, pulsating drones in an unbroken (?) continuum.

our mailing lists are down

having less time to dedicate on the site these past few months, i only recently realised that the database behind our mailing lists has ceased to function. This means that both the ‘absurd’ and the ‘organized music from thessaloniki’ labels’ mailing lists are not in operation. I have tried in vain to fix this problem, but at the moment i cannot even salvage the subscribers’ email addresses. Which means that those people who will not read this entry, might have to wait a long time befor they receive anything new from those lists. My apologies for this.

For the time being, you are encouraged to subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed as an alternative. It will contain any info that would have apeared in those lists, as well as other news from related labels and artists. Or just keep an eye on our pages, the old-fashioned way.

Even though i myself still favor mailing lists and their succinct notifications, maybe this will prove to be a way forward since more and more people today seem to depend on automatic notifications. I’m afraid we don’t have another choice for now

a brand new release on organized music from thessaloniki

SLW – Fifteen point nine grams

this is the second album from the international quartet of Burkhard Beins, Lucio Capece, Rhodri Davies & Toshimaru Nakamura; it is a particularly engrossing listen, recorded live and presented here for your aural pleasure. SLW, the name of the group, stands for ‘Sounds Like Water’ and it’s an analogy that describes pretty well the flow and the sheer presence of this music. Beyond boundaries, listen loud and often.

CD edition, sleeve design by QQ

available from the label’s site : http://thesorg.noise-below.org/

patrick farmer – Apis mellifera, moved to and fro cdr

enviromental recordings & treatments from this very active musician, recordist & co-curator of the compost & height blog and label. three very different approaches to a set of honeybee hives recordings, put together not in most scholarly order (which you can yourself reshuffle to preference if you want to see a different picture)

stasis duo 3 cdr

latest release from the seminal australian ’sinecore’ outfit. comes in a plain sleeve made of handmade paper. don’t miss out on this one. recordings from 2003-2009, extreme frequency range guaranteed

syndromes/kostis kilymis – just another daily bummer cdr

overloaded waves of mixing-board hiss & subtle feedback (music for contactmic, loose 1/8″ jack, mixing board, effects, room). very limited bare-bones edition that we should ideally be releasing on tape. if we had access to a tape deck or duplicator that is…
