This has been on and off the player for a couple of weeks now. It’s a strange one in that it is both Carsten Nicolai’s most accessible and his most wilfully difficult work to date. The first ten tracks take the Alva Noto trademark machine-tooled minimalism and give it a turbocharged tweak. The beats are [...]

I’m sure by now the Raster-Noton crew have just about awoken after their 12th birthday celebrations the other night at the ICA, and are now…oh hang on, I’ve done this intro. Some may say that I recycle the same review over and over again, but I don’t tend to do it quite as blatantly [...]

Two tracks of his new EP out june 9th, included in his [...]

Press release notes: Kuvaputki is a hyper-real multi-angle DVD environment. Pan sonic, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, are immersed in the imagery of the cathode which seems to live and infect their physicality over the course of three parallel films as they merge with...
I’ve just listened to Faultline’s ‘Colder Closer’ side 2. Forgotten how much I like it. Reminds me of buying a Pole LP and listening to it for months at 33, loving it…. Then one day a ‘friend’ tells me ’shouldn’t it be on 45?’ Never the same, I tells ya. And then seeing Pan Sonic at Highbury [...]
Kuvaputki / Cathode Ray Tube / Set (to give it its full title) is a live DVD containing footage of Pan Sonic’s world tour of 1999/2000. Shine A Light it’s not. The film, if that’s the right word, was made by Edward Quist. Shot entirely (and appropriately) in monochrome, this is forty minutes of sinewaves, [...]

It's a collection of half a dozen instrumental pieces that merrily crash through genre boundaries at will. All were composed originally to accompany short films or visual art installations. Opener “Via L4-Norte” is a fairly light and airy piece that [...]

Not content to close the door after the horse has bolted, this site goes on to build a monument to the now-departed beast, equipping it with wings and apocryphal fire-breathing tendencies, pausing only briefly to bestow upon it a made-up history as a champion hurdler, and then charges a load of confused Irish tourists a [...]
via this auction. This one in via Bryan K who was previously featured in this post. The Drumfire was used on most of the tracks for that release. Some details from the auction: "This is what is also known as a "drum brain"... a synthesizer for drum sounds made to be triggered by contact mics (drum triggers) attached to a regular drum kit or pads or whatever you want, like regular audio signals
The Hafler Trio should need no introduction. A forerunner of the oh-so-hip hauntology movement (though never by "their" admission, of course), Andrew McKenzie and his associates/collaborators — recently including Pan Sonic, Autechre, Fovea Hex, Jónsi Birgisson, David Tibet, Blixa Barageld, and less recently Chris Watson (formerly of Cabaret Voltaire, currently a resident BBC sound recordist putting...
