\nDinahBird<\/a> | A Box of 78s<\/a>
\nIn the second episode of -Overseas- I talk with Dinah Bird about her release on Gruenrekorder, called A Box of 78s. It is basically a story about a box that was bought some hundred years ago. The box contained records, 78rpm records and the first thirty years of its existence it was in use on Salt Spring Island, just of the coast from Vancouver. Dinah went there, with the box and a portable gramophone player. She came back with a lot of sounds and a couple of stories. Some of those stories you will hear in the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\nDinahBird<\/a> | A Box of 78s<\/a>
\nThis is a very unusual record. On the one hand it’s a field recording\/nostalgia construction. Bird inherited the titular box of some 50+ ancient records amassed by her grandmother who lived in the Gulf Islands, British Columbia and decided to take them from her home in England back to their original „home“, play them in their old environment, record the surrounding ambiance and talk with people there (including her great uncle) about what she was doing. Side A, called „Trackside“, documents this experience and is strangely captivating, the strains of the recordings (generally classical and opera) warble in the background, scratchy and cloudy, among the area sounds, with the voices of the inhabitants of the town of Salt Springs, who quiz Bird about her project, elaborate on their own daily activities, etc. It’s very easy to put oneself into Bird’s mind, to relive her own sense of family history and her rediscovery of the environs of her ancestors. All well and good. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nDinahBird<\/a> | A Box of 78s<\/a>
\nBecause of the nature of this release, including old 78s records being played on locations, it is released on vinyl, which a nice old, retro looking cover. Bird got a leather box of fifty old, 78rpms, which her grandmother, herself born in 1910, inherited. Her granny grew up in Salt Spring and after her death in 2000 the box got to Dinah, albeit in 2012. She went back to the beach of Salt Spring and played those records, while using also excerpts from her grandfather’s diary and talking to people who live there now. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nDie Berliner Audiok\u00fcnstlerin Antje Vowinckel hat k\u00fcrzlich auf dem SoundArt-Label „Gruenrekorder“ die CD „Terra Prosodia“ ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit. die bereits im Rahmen der Prix Ars Electronica 2012 eine lobende Erw\u00e4hnung erhalten hat, steht die menschliche Sprache. Allerdings versteht man kaum ein Wort. Es sei denn, man ist des Gaskonischen und des Schottisch-G\u00e4lischen m\u00e4chtig und spricht obendrein Gutnisch, Provenzalisch, Wallis-Deutsch und Rumantsch. Antje Vowinckel hat Menschen in Schweden, Frankreich, Schottland und in der Schweiz besucht und sie gebeten, eine pers\u00f6nliche Geschichte zu erz\u00e4hlen. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nSong from the Forest: The Soundtrack<\/a>
\n[…] Dass zu einem Dokumentarfilm ein Soundtrack erscheint, kommt eher selten vor. Bei \u201eSong from the Forest\u201c macht es aber absolut Sinn. Der Film erz\u00e4hlt die Geschichte von Louis Sarno, einem Amerikaner, der drei\u00dfig Jahre unter den Bayaka Pygm\u00e4en in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik gelebt hat. Nie zuvor hatte ein Au\u00dfenstehender einen so intimen Zugang zu dieser sehr musikalisch orientierten Kultur. Regisseur Michael Obert portr\u00e4tiert diesen Louis Sarno, der in den 1980er-Jahren in den afrikanischen Urwald entschwand, um die Kl\u00e4nge und Rhythmen des Pygm\u00e4enstamms der Bayaka aufzuzeichnen. Deren Musik z\u00e4hlt inzwischen zum Unesco-Weltkulturerbe und Louis Sarno als ihr Archivar. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Na\u00eff peut-\u00eatre, le projet manque surtout d\u2019inventivit\u00e9 : ainsi Oliveros se contente-t-elle de souffler quelques notes en improvisatrice nerveuse, Timothy Hill de donner dans le chant de gorge ou d\u2019en appeler \u00e0 jadis plus inspir\u00e9s que lui (Stephan Micus, Nana Vasconcelos\u2026) quand David Rothenberg (dont l\u2019Ipad fantasme parfois le synth\u00e9tiseur datant) verse sans mesure dans un folk naturaliste (& d\u00e9couverte souvent).

\nOwady, klarnety i \u015bpiew.
\nRok 2013 by\u0142 to wyj\u0105tkowy czas dla cykad \u2013 owad\u00f3w rozpoznawalnych g\u0142\u00f3wnie po d\u017awi\u0119kach, wydawanych przez samce za pomoc\u0105 narz\u0105d\u00f3w (tymbali) u nasady odw\u0142oka, gdy\u017c w Nowym Jorku mo\u017cna by\u0142o spotka\u0107 ich miliony. Te muzyczne owady pojawiaj\u0105 si\u0119 tylko raz na siedemna\u015bcie lat. W Stanach Zjednoczonych powszechnie nazywane s\u0105 17-letni\u0105 szara\u0144cz\u0105.

\nPauline Oliveros<\/a> & David Rothenberg<\/a> & Timothy Hill<\/a> | Cicada Dream Band<\/a>
\nLast year Gruenrekorder released the album \u2018Bug Music\u2019 by David Rothenberg. He has a love for the rhythms produced by birds, insects, etc and made a record based on these rhythms coming from nature, joined of vocalist Timothy Hill and guitarist Robert J\u00fcrgendal. The album by the Cicada Dream Band is a sort of a next step. The band combines the talents of Pauline Oliveros (V-Accordion), David Rothenberg (bass clarinet, clarinet, iPad, creatures) and Timothy Hill (voice). They made their recordings in august 2013 in New York. \u201c2013 marked the arrival of millions of periodical cicadas to the New York Metropolitan area. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nPauline Oliveros<\/a> & David Rothenberg<\/a> & Timothy Hill<\/a> | Cicada Dream Band<\/a>
\n[…<\/a>] It works really well but it does seem more deliberate and, for lack of a better word, ‚composed‘ (which seems unlikely to me) than the previous. It’s a really lovely set. Rothenberg is centre stage and on fine form, Oliveros is a more withdrawn presence but her contributions are precise and work particularly well alongside Hill whose vocalisations are restrained and avoid the overt (and for me very annoying) vocal gymnastics that many avant-vocalists are prone to. Highly recommended and another in a long line of phenomenal releases from this eclectic and wonderful label.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nPauline Oliveros<\/a> & David Rothenberg<\/a> & Timothy Hill<\/a> | Cicada Dream Band<\/a>
\nDieses Trio formierte sich 2013 aufgrund eines einzigartigen Naturph\u00e4nomens, das sich alle 17 Jahre im Gebiet rund um die Stadt New York abspielt. W\u00e4hrend einer kurzen Zeit siedeln sich dort Millionen von Zikaden an. David Rothenberg \u2013 Musiker und Naturphilosoph, der sich in seiner Arbeit intensiv mit Naturkl\u00e4ngen, wie Vogel- oder Walges\u00e4ngen auseinandersetzt \u2013 griff diesen speziellen Moment auf, um eine Reihe von Konzerten zusammen mit der 82-j\u00e4hrigen \u201edeep listening\u201c-Ikone Pauline Oliveros und dem Obertons\u00e4nger Timothy Hill zu spielen. Mittels intensiven Hinh\u00f6rens interagierten sie w\u00e4hrend dieser Konzerte spontan mit den klanglichen Eigenheiten und Rhythmen der Insekten. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nEvery November since 2005, textura has selected ten labels whose output dazzled us during the year. To that end, we posed a simple question as a way of making the selections: „Which labels‘ material excited us most during 2014?“ Naturally, there are many labels in addition to the ones chosen whose releases had that effect on us, but these stood out from the crowd:<\/p>\n
\n
\nHein Schoer<\/a> | The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures<\/a>
\nHein Schoer’s The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures expands upon the cultural soundscape producer’s 2010 release Two Weeks in Alert Bay in about as dramatic a fashion as could be imagined. In contrast to the single-CD presentation of the earlier release, the new edition features a CD, 2 DVDs, and a 400-page book. As described in the earlier review, Schoer’s project presents a captivating sound portrait of the Kwakwaka’wakw, a First Nations community situated at the northern end of Vancouver Island on Canada’s West Coast, and its activities, myths, and ritual dances and chants.

As the title implies, these recordings are represent four soundwalks at the Winnall Moors Reserve in Winchester, England. Each recording will coincide with one of the four seasons, this one being Spring. Over the span of 25 minutes we\u2019re greeted by the sounds of: birds chirping in chorus, geese, human voices, rolling river water, footsteps, creaking wood planks, a metal shovel digging, and a myriad of other natural recordings.

\nMusic should not be heard, but listened to. Everywhere we go, there is music. It\u2019s become such a widespread phenomenon, we hardly notice it any longer. It\u2019s similar to cigarette\u2013smoking in public places: some decades ago, it was such a common occurrence, nobody noticed it\u2014except our eyes, throats, and lungs. Laws have been passed since, and smoking has been banned from public places. At times I wish piped music were banned from public places too. Everywhere we go, we are assailed by music we didn\u2019t ask to hear and we normally don\u2019t care for. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nIn almost twenty years of reviewing audio art and experimental music for Neural I have run into several extremely \u2018tough\u2019 projects that cross a broad range of styles, formats and media. In the newsroom was the prevailing belief that we were ready for anything. It seems we were not \u2013 in fact, we never imagined we could encounter an album such as this \u2013 one that cannot but produce a wry grin in response. The project consists of only descriptions of the locations and times of the recordings captured, their duration and information regarding their subsequent deletion. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nBudhaditya Chattopadhyay<\/a> | elegy for Bangalore<\/a>
\n[…<\/a>] Certain passages almost sound like an orchestra or jazz band warming up. The source material certainly lends itself to many possibilities for the fertile mind to meditate upon. I could try to intellectualize the whole production, but ultimately for me it\u2019s a snapshot in time, the highlighting of the mundane and unspectacular that I\u2019m particularly attracted to. I will likely never go to India or visit Bangalore, but Chattopadhyay has created quite the vivid canvas for my imaginative mind to draw from. Another fine release from the good folks at Gruenrekorder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nPauline Oliveros<\/a> & David Rothenberg<\/a> & Timothy Hill<\/a> | Cicada Dream Band<\/a>
\nDavid Rothenberg received deserved attention for his 2013 Gruenrekorder release Bug Music (issued in tandem with the book Bug Music: How Insects Gave Us Rhythm and Noise on St Martins Press), on which the woodwinds player used various insects as musical partners. Rothenberg’s latest, Cicada Dream Band, represents a natural progression in that while it perpetuates the creature-oriented theme of the earlier release it expands upon it in two critical respects. First of all, the material supplements insect sounds with those of frogs, birds, and a Humpback whale; and secondly, Rothenberg, credited with bass clarinet, clarinet, iPad, and creatures, is accompanied by Pauline Oliveros (V-Accordion) and Timothy Hill (voice) on the sixty-four-minute recording, which was culled from three-and-a-half hours of music laid down at Dreamland Studios in West Hurley, NY during August 2013.

\nSelected Recordings of Bayaka Music by Louis Sarno<\/a>
\nSong from the Forest: The Soundtrack<\/a>
\nSelected recordings from the soundtrack of Michael Obert’s documentary on the Bayaka Pygmies of the Central African rainforest. Some 25 years ago, Sarno, enchanted by music he’d heard on radio from this area, ventured there and ended up remaining, adopted by the Bayaka. The film, as I understand it, documents Sarno visiting New York City with his son, Samedi, 13 years of age. The soundtrack album presents fifteen tracks culled from some 1,500 hours of recordings.

\nSelected Recordings of Bayaka Music by Louis Sarno<\/a>
\nSong from the Forest: The Soundtrack<\/a>
\nLouis Sarno’s story is an incredible one. As a young American, he heard a song on the radio that inspired him to venture to the Central African rainforest and locate the sounds‘ creators, the Bayaka Pygmies, a tribe of hunters and gatherers. But unlike most travelers, Sarno never returned home; instead, he became a fully accepted member of Bayaka society, married a Bayaka woman, fathered a son, Samedi, and over the span of twenty-five years recorded over 1,500 hours of unique Bayaka music, fifteen selections of which appear on this hour-long soundtrack to Michael Obert’s award-winning documentary film Song from the Forest.

\nHein Schoer<\/a> | The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures<\/a>
\nThe Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures is perhaps Gruenrekorder\u2019s most elaborate production to date: a CD, audio DVD, DVD-ROM and softbound 419-page book, all enclosed in a black cardboard sleeve. It takes an entire day to peruse, but one would not be surprised to see it included in a college curriculum. Box of Treasures is the physical manifestation of The Sounding Museum, an exhibition at the North American Native Museum in Z\u00fcrich. Aware that many might never be able to travel to the exhibition, Herb Schoer created this comprehensive physical reflection. The exhibition is centered time spent living with and recording the traditions of the Kwakwaka\u2019wakw of British Columbia. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nSelected Recordings of Bayaka Music by Louis Sarno<\/a>
\nSong from the Forest: The Soundtrack<\/a>
\nListening to Song from the Forest, many older readers will think of the famous French duo Deep Forest. The duo helped increase interest in world music in the early nineties, but they also did the genre a slight disservice, creating an unfair association between native music and electronic beats. Song from the Forest – the soundtrack to the movie of the same name \u2013 is real world music, the sound of the Bayaka Pygmies as captured by Louis Sarno (with film direction by Michael Obert). Sarno is the real deal. 25 years ago (the same time as Deep Forest became popular) \u2013 he heard a song on the radio and traced its origin to the Congo. […<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
