As I've already told Patrick in private, that's as potentially good a list of releases as any I have seen. Whilst I'm sure a good number of these are not recorded yet, I am interested in what these people do with a brief, ten minute timespan and it could result in some great material, particularly as many of the names on the list are strong solo performers.

Is it possible for certain loons to subcribe to the entire series?

Michael Pisaro: Ascending Series (2.1) (to Joachim Eckl)

Performers: Antoine Beuger, flute, Jürg Frey, clarinet, Marcus Kaiser, violoncello, Radu Malfatti, trombone, André Möller, guitar, Christoph Nicolaus, stone harp.

Live Recording Date and Location: 25 July 2008, Neufelden, Austria (heim.art). (Engineered by Michael Pisaro)
Field Recording of the Grosse Mühl, taken near the Neufelden train station made by Michael Pisaro at ca. 5 p.m. on 21 July 2008.

Score published by Edition Wandelweiser, Haan, Germany.

This piece consists of a score (Ascending Series (2)) arranged in this case for the ensemble at hand during the Wandelweiser days in Neufelden in July, 2008. We were there as guests of artist Joachim Eckl (heim.art). The piece is to be played outdoors and/or accompanied by a field recording. The field recording used here was made by the composer near a waterfall in the river Die Grosse Mühl that runs through the Oberösterreich region and into the Danube. Besides the water itself, the town bells, cicadas and various voices and autos from the nearby train station are clearly audible, along with a host of unidentified environmental sounds. The recording was played back into the small concert space and there a simultaneous live recording was made of the ensemble piece. (We thus have a field recording situation for the recording of the piece itself.) The instrumental score stands in a somewhat variable relation to the recording environment. At times it is completely submerged, at other times, clear harmonies emerge: mostly it floats between these poles.

Alfredo Costa Monteiro: Clair de bee

Clair de bée is a piece where the only sound source is paper, and clearly places itself into the continuity of ‘musique concrète'. Here, as in other paper pieces, the proposal is to track the sound where it's hidden in its less obvious form: the paper matter is transfigured, metamorphosed into a particular musicality. Through a phenomenological approach, "Clair de bée" is an unveiling of the sound matter which is melted until confusion.
Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Barcelona, july 2008

Lee Patterson: Springwork #1

Springwork 1 is the first in a series of works exploring the timbral and tonal complexities generated by plucking selected springs. Chosen carefully from my collection of found and retrieved springs, they were attached to a contact mic'd metal plate and recorded. Subsequent editing included the removal of each sounds attack and then increasing the gain of the decaying sound. Recorded in Manchester. Summer 2008
