ETA: this is from 1993, so a historical artifact in terms of ambient sound. It is interesting to put it alongside Wil Bolton's Chimes for a Wall Drawing, from 2011, which is somewhat similar in surface structure but much richer in sound design.
Seeing Grant Hart on Monday for the 35th Anniversary of the album. They're also having a panel of Twin Cities punk pioneers that will include Greg Norton.
Hey Rostasi I see you suffer from a weakness for re-issue comps as bad as me. What makes it worse is that Sounds Of The Universe is the only traditional bricks and mortar shop I visit regularly.
Yes! Putting together another playlist for a radio show I've gone back to doing again and I kind of gravitated toward these albums this time. "Soul Jazz," "Soundway," "Stones Throw," and their ilk have been a wonderful dip into the past. Actually, my weakness for music knows no time boundary, so it's even more of an eventful situation in my life.
Yes! That Venezuelan comp is quite wonderful. It's also one of the albums I'm skimming over today for the radio show. If you haven't heard it, you may be surprised by its variety.
Well, another storm and a chance for a break. I'd almost forgotten that I'd downloaded this back in July (dropped out of the recently added). I guess I've been overeating as well. The curse of sampling that booster crack. from Bandcamp
Auditorium is a live sound collaboration between Seattle artist Yann Novak and Victoria artist Jamie Drouin. The two artists first met on a panel discussion hosted by Seattle’s 2006 Decibel Festival at the Henry Art Gallery, and both immediately recognized a connection between their two bodies of soundwork; using altered field recordings and sharing a mutual interest in exploring the ability of sound to alter the atmosphere of spaces we inhabit—physically and emotionally.
Two months later, the two artists met once again at the Henry Art Gallery to perform Auditorium, which uses the performance space itself as a sonic point of departure. Recordings made by Novak of the empty space were amplified and layered to create a singular, modulating drone which enhanced the particular ‘fingerprint’ of the space. Drouin’s approach was to define the space with a more scalpel-like hand, inserting sonic pings and rhythms which called attention to the depth and scale of the auditorium, and to interject more textural sounds which would occasionally push the listeners attention outside of the building, reminding them of the thin membrane between the inside/outside worlds.
I'm doing a 'GP' and writing a chapter for an academic book. It has been a couple of years or so since I have written at this level. The research was fine, it is just the writing that takes some doing!
Writing sucks. And doing a lot of it does not seem to make it easier - I am on my fourth book this year and it seems to feel harder as time goes on rather than easier. May the words flow for you and still make sense later!

Venezuela 70 may well be my next real honest disc. The recent Space Echo (Cabo Verde) on Awesome Tapes from Africa has been getting my attention a lot recently.
It's also one of the albums I'm skimming over today for the radio show.

It has taken this about 5 years to grow on me, but it's getting there.
