MUTANT SOUNDS

MUTANT SOUNDS
So hello to you all and thanks for your patience. I'm just back from working on the next two Vas Deferens Organization projects in California, which is why there's been a lapse here on Mutant, but new posts should hopefully appear within a week or so now that I can devote myself again to Mutant related activities. Until then and if you're in New York next week, please don't miss the chance to take in VDO collaborator Michael Alan's performance at the Brooklyn's New Museum's Untapped street festival. This takes place in Manhattan on May 4th from noon to 4 PM at Sara D. Roosevelt Park, a bacchanal that'll include music from our collaboration with him. This album (Michael Alan Alien & Vas Deferens Organization-All You Can Eat) is now set for release as an LP later in the year via Beta-Lactam Ring Records (specifics forthcoming later).

Tommi Stumpff - Zu Spät Ihr Scheißer,hier ist...,LP,1982,Germany Tommi Stumpff (born 1 February 1958 in Düsseldorf) is a former German musician.

In the late 1970s he formed his first punk band, Der KFC, being the lead singer.His solo debut album Zu spät Ihr Scheisser was released from Schallmauer-Records of Dusseldorf. Its total sales was disappointing, reached only 3000 units.The following single Contergan Punk was released from another label, Giftplatten, in 1983. women in electroacoustic, minimalism, tape music, musique concrète, free improvisation, and related genres Johanna Beyer I'm placing Beyer at the top slot intentionally, I cannot overstate her importance to the role of women in electronic, electroacoustic, minimalism, and related genres. Often cited as the first female electronic musician (due to her work scoring "Music of the Spheres" in 1938), Johanna Beyer was one of the most forward thinking composers of the 30s. Starting out as a pianist, she received two degrees at Mannes College of Music in 1928. Several years later she started studying and working with the likes of modernists Ruth Crawford, Henry Cowell, Charles Seeger, Carl Ruggers, and Dane Rudhyar.

Easy listening everybodydigs# is a series of posts about Jazz, Funk, Soul & R’n’b albums released from the 20s to the 90s, you can read a brief description/review and listen to a small preview (when it’s possible). everybodydigs# is like when someone tells you “hey you should listen to this album!” and nothing less, enjoy! One of the coolest Italian soundtracks we’ve heard in a long time — a wonderful set of tunes that moves from slinky, to easy, to groovy, and beyond! The tunes start out bubbling very spare and slow — with floating piano, moog, and other nice bits — and as the record progresses, the sound gets heavier, with some nice funky elements thrown into the mix! The whole thing’s a brilliant exercise in understatement — not only one of the best soundtracks by Umiliani from the 70s, but also a perfect example of why we dig Italian soundtracks so much!

The compositions on this program have been realized from scores as varied as an interactive computer software controlled by a live performer, verbal instructions that undermine a pre-recorded playerpiano recording, data from a gps navigational system that converts geographical position into mathematical sounds, a text by Jacques Derrida and three superimposed similarly evanescing matrices of differently white numbers. + info Playlist

Licorice Pizza: A Toot and a Snore A Toot and a Snore I’ve got something a little different today. Something you can’t just push play on, and walk away while it hums in the background. Myself, I had to put on headphones and give this a careful listen. The John Lennon / Paul McCartney boot A Toot and a Snore in ‘74 has something of an infamous reputation.

Research Center The Sound Recordings catalog comprises over 17,400 digital audio files, beginning with Lomax’s first recordings onto (newly invented) tape in 1946 and tracing his career into the 1990s. In addition to a wide spectrum of musical performances from around the world, it includes stories, jokes, sermons, personal narratives, interviews conducted by Lomax and his associates, and unique ambient artifacts captured in transit from radio broadcasts, sometimes inadvertently, when Alan left the tape machine running. Not a single piece of recorded sound in Lomax’s audio archive has been omitted: meaning that microphone checks, partial performances, and false starts are also included. This material from Alan Lomax’s independent archive, begun in 1946, which has been digitized and preserved by the Association for Cultural Equity, is distinct from the thousands of earlier recordings on acetate and aluminum discs he made from 1933 to 1942 under the auspices of the Library of Congress.
