“Sound Art” (Used 90 times)

Zeffon (Renton, Washington - USA) try to make things that are a little more... surreal.
This giant album (and its crazy title) are dedicated to the dead and the odd rumors surrounding death. In a few words, the songs themselves are meant to invoke a sense of malaise and uneasiness.

This album is divided into two parts :
1 - Urban-Habitual : tracks 01 to 22
2 - Tribal-Temporary : tracks 23 to 61.

The formation of this collection of sound pieces began with the piling up of arbitrary objects in a table drawer, which led to the making of a simple single coil pickup; it was just a small ceramic magnet of unknown origin and a copper wire taken out of an old telephone – this was the only recording device used on this album.
Running a risk of sounding too predictable, one could say that this collection portrays the secret life of small metal objects.

Here is the last release for year 2016, a compilation of Artists from La P'tite Maison, a French netlabel dedicated to minimal, electroacoustic, experimental, ambient, sound art, and drone musics.

See you soon in 2017 for new great releases...

Scan, the default tool, which is available on most vehicle radios, is used in Scanning not as a temporary method of searching, but as an experience in itself. If this mode is no longer used as only a practical means for biased programming, but is acknowledged as an end in itself, then a rhythmic modular inventory is generated that presents living chunks of broadcasted zeitgeist. Scanning consists of continuous replays of Chicago FM station scans from the very immediate past.
