Suk-Jun Kim - Welcome to Hasla (2007)

Welcome to Hasla! A faraway land in which everything appears to be as strange as familiar; a place to which you have never traveled, yet one that resembles eerily every town you have visited before; a town at which as soon as you arrive, you realize that you have already left.

More info at Red Door Sound, Suk-Jun Kim’s homepage.

It is currently the only thing I listen to, over and over again.

Installation space for my next big project. Very reverberant, not nice.

Short binaural work.

It’s just a test of sort, although I am happy with the result.

Black To Comm’s new album “Alphabet 1968” has been out for a while now, but in case any of you haven’t bought the album yet I am showing you this video for Hotel Freund which will change your mind.

Not only a beautiful song, there’s a thousand bunnies in that video as well.

Track with working title “ra1”.

With collection of field recordings from when I broke into a military zone this summer to do some recording. On the way back I left my recorder on, at the end of the track you can hear me crawling under the fence again.

Sad news today. Maryanne Amacher has passed away. Her work with installations, otoacoustic emissions, and psychoacoustic effects was fascinating and pushed the edges of sound art in fantastically unique ways.

The video above is of her and Thurston Moore, listening to her work, and I’ve posted some of her audio previously, if you’re curious to hear more.

(video via immanent discursivity)

Here’s a link to some more footage from the unpublished documentary ‘daytrip’ about her and Moore’s collaboration project:

Very sad! She was such a proper sound artist!

Short extract from a lecture by Janek Schafer on his ‘Skate’ project/installation/lp.

He gives the first years a lecture every year, but we are allowed to sit in on all the lectures we feel like, so this was my third time. It never gets old.
