“Loops” (Used 5 times)

After fluttering across the fretboard live on WFMU in 2010, Dustin Wong made a return visit to LizB's radio show this Monday for a live set of looped solo guitar magic.

Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads, the 2xLP follow-up to 2010's 2xLP Infinite Love, comes out next Tuesday on Thrill Jockey. The music video for "Diagonally Talking Echoes" is below, and we've excerpted the live session version for you to download and share. First, enjoy a couple live takes of songs that won't be on the album: "Chocolate Dentist" is a brand new composition from the future, while the studio version of "Liberal Christian Youth Ministry" is hot of the virtual press at the Deathbomb Arc Digital Singles Club.

As a founding member of Baltimore art/noise-makers Ponytail and the original Ecstatic Sunshine guitar duo, Dustin Wong is sculpting new forms with intricate, processed guitar. It's an especially fun sound to follow as it is being created live. There's a great video from Newtown Radio.

If you're in the Brooklyn area, Dustin Wong plays tonight at Roulette, and the Dreams Say... record release show is Friday Feb 24th at multimedia space La Sala, with Lichens and Highlife.

Meanwhile, there are a few days left in Dustin's "Say Your Dream, Create a Sound" project. Dustin Wong has been working to soundtrack your dreams. The dropbox for your dream audio narrative submissions is still live though the deadline's around the corner -- the tracks will be available starting on Feb 20th.

SPIT is the latest work from Argentinian sound artist Sol Rezza, manipulating sounds sourced from lawn mowers and lakes, crickets and dogs, into strange sonic narratives. Take "Revolution as a Loop" (below), and experience the full 47-minutes here on FMA or at Sol Rezza's Radio-Arte. Be sure to use headphones, because SPIT was designed for not only designed for stereophonic listening, but selected for the first series of concerts in the Turbulence Sound Matrix, Steve Heimbecker's 64-channel surround sound system.

Sol Rezza is also half of Panz4 Troupé, a duo with Mexican multimedia artist Daniel Iván. Here's a video of Matar al Gato 2.2: Ekpyrotica as performed live at Mexico City contemporary art venue Laboratorio Arte Alameda:

The Ekpyrotica series deals with the idea of Ekpyrosis, proposed by the Stoic philosophers. They believed the universe is repeated after every "great year", and that this repetition is preceeded by the universe's destruction via a "conflagration" (read more)
