Mugged! My Story By Man From Uranus

Um "Holy Fire" Strawberry Fair 2004

Like a shot of pure gold

220px-Vandana_shiva_20070610

It was suggested to me, about a month ago, that I might like to accompany my girlfriend and her ex along to a talk by this lady. It was all a bit terribly terribly/Cambridge Uni/Radio 4/boomerish for my degraded intellectual appetites but a couple of things she said I thought were quite interesting. She was talking about GM crops seed rights and how corporations were seeking to patent nature for profit, essentially, without regard for social justice etc. I’m not a sciencey person and I’m probably summarising what she said a bit too broadly but I think she linked this to a characterisation of capitalism as this gigantic machine that needs to be fed money to survive, and that now natural resources were dwindling the forces that fed the machine were having to look elsewhere. Therefore increasingly wealth is sought to be created from non-physical things like patent rights etc, which in addition to seeds etc also related to the pharmaceutical industry and financial services. As I say, I might be embellishing her actual remarks a little but this is what my brain decided it would like to hear anyway, and it’s rolled around in my mind like a jagged stone ever since as I’ve been gulping my way through Retromania, which kinda leads me to this fanciful postulation I’m in the business of awkwardly constructing. Actually it was Dom Fox on Twitter that set me thinking, but Retromania was kind of the backdrop. I’d watched The Voice at my sister’s in boozy contempt, so when he started going on about it my ears pricked up, plus I’ve been moaning about the Light Entertainmentalisation of modern reality here before innit.

7 May Dominic Fox Dominic Fox ‏ @domfox

Everything is turning into 70s light entertainment. We’ll have Bernard Manning back in a minute – suitably ironised, of course. Oh, wait…

7 May Dominic Fox Dominic Fox ‏ @domfox

…that’s Jimmy Carr.

7 May Dominic Fox Dominic Fox ‏ @domfox

The Voice is deeply weird, though – every performer gets the same gushing praise, minute variations on a formula. You *owned* that song…

Dominic Fox ‏ @domfox

“Talent” as dominance, as swaggering mastery. You nailed that song; boshed it; hammered it; screwed it; showed it who’s boss.

Now Dom Fox is one of those people who mentions Badiou a bit too much for my, uh, understanding, so I realise that I’m running a terrible risk by quoting him and then bringing in Marx but fuckit I am not pursuing Truth. But yeah, Marx says that the specific conditions of the economic base are reflected in the superstructure and hence my retromanical analogy. Do you see where I’m going with this? The boom times is over! There’s no more gold in them thar hills! This is a ghost town! In fact you might as well re-open it as a tourist attraction! Etc.

Actually I think I need Jessie J here to help me with this one. It’s not really coming together is it? Come on Pete, believe!

I’m feeling sexy and free
Like glitter’s raining on me
Your like a shot of pure gold
I think I’m ’bout to explode

Radioactive Sparrow

One day I will write about Pence Eleven, perhaps thee great Lost Group, but not today because it’s a very long story and I haven’t got time. It was through the weird influence of PE that I got to know of Radioactive Sparrow, also perhaps thee great Lost Group. I will never write about them because that story is so long and complicated and makes such demands on one’s powers of descriptivity that even Gwilly can’t keep up with it, try as he may. I suppose they were a Improv unit that was also a rock group that was also a joke. I only saw them once, at the pub at the end of the street where I now live, where there’s a sign up that says John Otway, but I was struck by the VIOLENCE of their creation, a permanent revolution of music. I think if Mark E Smith had a different postcode and male siblings he would have probably become Sparrow and not The Fall. Good job I suppose. Anyway, talking out my arse a bit but check ‘em out if you have a spare lifetime.

Hot Chip w/ Pete Um The Junction, Cambridge, June 11th

White Fence

Been trying to make my mind up about the Fence. Bit battle reenactment in places for me to really jump off but you’d have to say it’s awfully well put together. Just thought I’d see what Phil & Simon says ;)

Was looking for Long White Curtain or something else off the Family Perfumes.

Past, Present, Future Lunch Time

Think I forgot to post this before. Somewhat after the event then, but better late than never, I’m posting it NOW.

FRIDAY details:

pimmon
(room 40, fällt, staalplaat, staubgold, tigerbeat6)

Pimmon is the long-term project of Australian Paul Gough. Pimmon is recognised internationally for pushing the boundaries of music and digital composition. His music draws and scrapes together pop, minimal composition, exotic drones and found sounds, creating a dense, emotive, compelling and challenging listening experience. Recording on labels including no less than Fällt, Fat Cat, Tigerbeat6, Staalplaat and Staubgold, he has also collaborated with Keith Rowe, Fennesz and Oren Ambarchi.

With his latest edition ‘The Oansome Orbit’ for Lawrence English’s ROOM40 imprint, he strikes out at some of his most harmonic territory to date, merging washes of rich tone against irregular grids of texture. The results are wholly individual and utterly consuming.

Often heard between sets during Bad Timing’s 10 years of existence, we are very proud to present him in Cambridge for the first time.

local radio
Local Radio is a live project using FM transmitters and recycled radios to create site-specific performances in which the radios become an experimental PA system or a rather unpredictable polyphonic instrument. Sound sources include cassettes, clockwork record players playing custom-made recycled CD records and field recordings.

Originally created as part of ‘Frequency Modulation’ at Kettle’s Yard New Music Mornings in 2008, Local Radio has been staged in a variety of venues in Cambridge including Aid & Abet as part of ‘Art As A Full Time Hobby’ (2011) and Reworks and most recently at kleeep-a-kleeep STEW Gallery, Norwich. Local Radio has also shared bills with the likes of Alexander Tucker and Courtis/Moore in Cambridge.

b j nilsen
(touch, ash international)

BJNilsen (b,1975 Sweden) is a sound and recording artist. Primarily focused on the sound of nature and its effect on humans, field recordings and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound, often electronically treated. He has worked as composer and sound designer for documentary film, theatre, television and dance and performs his solo work regularly around the globe creating an immersive and intimate soundworld.

BJNilsen has collaborated with Chris Watson, Hildur Gudnadottir, Philip Jeck and Stilluppsteypa amongst others.

john chantler
(room 40, fat cat, inventing zero)

Resident of Brisbane, rural Japan and now South London, John Chantler has developed his sound from organic electronics to his current interests in exploratory electro-acoustics, messy guitars and a loose spin on rhythm. Collaborators include Lawrence English and Tujiko Noriko.

For this event he will combine use of the church organ with modular synths.

http://inventingzero.net/

ypsmael
ypsmael deconstructs and reassembles audio with a magnifying glass. an electric guitar, field recordings, voice, piano, melodica, glockenspiel and other instruments are used as sound sources. ypsmael layers and treats these with effects pedals and minor use of freeware, driven by accidentalism and improvisation. the result are atmospheric soundscapes which zoom in and out, stretch and contract, laying bare to explore hidden sonic textures and granular sounds that otherwise escape the listener’s notice.

Since his first live appearance in the summer of 2010, ypsmael has been invited to play alongside artists including mountains, simon scott (ex-slowdive), john chantler, dieter moebius (ex-harmonia and cluster), cam deas. His latest work in progress ‘Akystret’ was recently showcased at Hidden Channels at Kettle’s Yard in March.

Ever since Nochexxx played me the Carlton “Killawatt” Valley record that made me splutter in pissed wonder for it’s entire duration I’ve wanted a copy, and initial research into its perceived market value put it just slightly beyond my financial reach, or made me think to bide my time, which I did. Therefore I was chuffed to randomly discover it on eBay, looking at the prices of Dulcitones in the first instance, I think, and win it by being the first and only bidder, with my sniping skills still in the box of Old Things. Must be pretty old things, because the record got sent to my lovely Ex’s cos that’s where the ‘Bay still thinks I live, and it should keep up really. Or I should, because when the record didn’t appear I’m afraid I started making assumptions about people not finding the time to post records that they would have expected to realise more from bidwise at auction, and I sent a bit of a terse enquiry asking whether I should be expecting it anytime soon. I should, said the seller, because he’d swiftly posted it after sale, had proof of postage, was a postman himself and knew the drill, and, ridiculously, had recognised my name as a that bloke out of The Wire, and had therefore included a copy of his own record in the package. I was, of course, comprehensively disarmed. So, after fetching the red card from Sam and having to explain to matey at the PO that Pete Um is not my government name, and once we’ve all sat around listening to Special Request & Truck Inna Garage etc, I put on this weird gift, more than 99% certain to be underwhelmed, but curious nonetheless.

Strangely enough, it’s great! It’s got that neither-one-thing-nor-t’other quality which those with a jones for new kicks ‘n’ weird thrills consider standard in a standardised “surprise me” jaded appetite. But it’s a subtle thing – it’s not knocking you over the head with some gimmicky claim to unusualness. It’s like, uh, well it’s like a lot of things and none, but it’s like a melancholic 4-track Mouse On Mars using some outboard gear, perhaps, and that’s just one thing it’s like, a bit. It’s definitely a strikingly successful mixture of the programmed and the played, although it’s hard to tell what’s being done to what, and in a good way. Actually I think the only thing I don’t like about this record is the font the text on the cover is written in, which brings back bad memories of trying to like trip-hop, and that’s a shamefully weak-ass First World 21st Century reason for being negative about anything. But the music, which might be the main thing after all, that’s pretty solid, all the way through. I’m more into it the less beats there are, I think, but then I didn’t get where I’m not today by being overly concerned with rhythm-programming. In fact the standout track for me is probably the pianoey sketchitude of Piano 4OK, if I’m typing that right Mr. Trip-Hop font. That seems to me a good example of what this lot do best, i.e a kind of judicious execution of textural progression perhaps, or the kind of sound-painting that chooses all the right colours and then puts them all in the right places. There’s a lot going on on this record, but it unfolds beautifully. In fact it kind of hides its light a bit, but then that’s sort of what’s good about it. Looks like Boomkat still got some too.

Oh, 99p at Norman!
Yeah, it’s “organic” man!

The Internet

My niece was round here the other day. They don’t have a TV at home so she just watches the internet. Not unsusual behaviour I suppose but it made me ponder growing up with the web like that.

Here are the four videos I watched yesterday on the nets, for no particular reason.
