This was once on the archive but now appears to have been removed. Oddly it also does not appear on the artist's page, though there are lots of other releases there.

- "Truffaz, a Swiss-born jazz trumpeter, and Murcof, a Mexican producer of classically-tinged IDM, techno and ambient, first started performing live together in 2006, and in 2008 they released an album called Mexico. This one, coming next month through Mundo Recordings, is actually a three-headed project: Enki Bilal, the well-regarded French comics artist and filmmaker whose work is often focused on themes of war and dystopia, has taken care of the album's visual art.
Being Human Being looks to be a heavy listen. Here's a few lines from the lengthy text that came with the press release: "[The album] suggests to us that being human and being a human being are not necessarily the same thing, but that human be-ing, with its delicate balance of sensuousness, violence, ethical sensitivity, ugliness and grace, is still being sketched out." It'll come on double vinyl, CD and digital formats.
This will be the third release on Mundo Recordings, which launched earlier in 2014 and has so far put out an EP and album from veteran US producer Stewart Walker. On the Murcof front, news of the upcoming collaborative album comes shortly after this announcement from The Leaf Label, home to his highly sought-after solo studio LPs. The label will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year with some vinyl reissues, and fans can offer input, via a poll, on which records (from Murcof and the likes of Caribou and Roll The Dice) they think should get the treatment." - Resident Advisor - Mundo Recordings - Bandcamp

ETA: This album has raised almost $30,000 for Doctors Without Borders and The Humane Society. It's still there if anyone does not have it yet, $10 for 87 tracks/6+ hours of music with high average quality and lots of names that get mentioned here.
"In the 1980s I ran a small recording studio. While working with the performance artists Brian Counihan and Tony Sheehan, they introduced me to Nova Express and the cut-up method of creating original text. I attempted to create an audio cut-up piece based on Nova Express, using tape: too much work ... but I carried on reading Nova Express forever since then.
In 1993, when I had my first computer, I extracted wave cycles from human voice recordings, copied and pasted them together hundreds of times to make notes and music, and became fascinated with the complexity of sounds in the human voice, usually unnoticed, because they come at a rate of dozens every second. . . . . ."
- Günther Berkus, the curator of the Cork City Gamelan
"All the songs on Feels are tuned to our friends piano which was out of tune to begin with. Dave and I made loops from recordings of him playing her piano, and we used those loops in the early songwriting process for feels. So since those loops are premade and can't be tuned, the guitars have to be tuned to the loops. it's not out of tune in any traditional whole step/half step kind of way...we're talking microtonally out of tune after years of not being professionally tuned and subtle natural detuning. Kind of like if you played guitar in standard tuning for years but never once re-tuned it to make sure it was right. It would have its own unique out-of-tune tuning based on what strings you played most often, how hard you played it, the temperature in the room, the humidity, etc... When we went into the studio it ruled over everything we did. Even doctess's live piano playing required us bringing in a professional piano tuner, playing him a minidisc recording of our friend's out of tune piano, and having him try to de-tune the studio's piano in exactly the same way our friend's was. Without those recordings or the loops dave and i made, you wouldn't be able to get it exact unless you tune to the album while it's playing, and even then, you'd have to know which loop in the album we use to tune, which one chord it is, and because of the way we mixed the loop in, it is almost impossible to separate from dave's guitar. I'll never forget when the tuner finished (we had to wait to start recording until he finished) and he stood up from the bench and went 'there you go, the piano's perfectly out of tune.'"

- Fantastic album, BTW.
