Whither Ambient?
5 Jun 2008, 20:54 by teledyn
This is turning out to be a tougher search than I expected! It seems nearly no-one produces records as a sound-furniture that is expected to live in the real world. Nearly everyone tries to demand, capture and hostage our entire attention (the spoiled little darlings) to the exclusion of anything else that may be there, in the sounds of that space, where we are, then, while we listen. Its as if they cannot bear the thought that we may already have a sound environment which they did not create -- even "new age environmental" insists on giving me THEIR frogs, crickets, waterfalls and thunderstorms!
But that is not the case. Is it.
Such records-objects as sounds-in-themselves must exist; I'm hoping you can help me find them :)
Even the John Cage tribute, A Chance Operation, while assembled by chance operations, is a fixed piece of relentless sound covering every inch/second of the available canvas. It may coexist with other sounds, but grants them no space in the programme.

Day 4 of listening to my entire CD collection...
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KT99Q74RL._AA240_.jpg
19. Coldplay - Brothers and Sisters
Three song EP that came out a year before Parachutes. It's not hard to hear why they were picked up by a major label based on early material. Also not hard to see that they were going to be huge.

20. Einojuhani Rautavaara - Cantus Articus
Cantus Articus is a concerto for birds and orchestra. Taped bird noises interwoven with live orchestra. Sounds lame, sounds gimmicky, but it's not. I've seen this live in concert (thank you Alabama Symphony Orchestra) and was blown away. Needless to say, it rubs the traditionalists the wrong way (and it was awesome to hear grumbling and complaining in the concert hall), but this is very serious music and worth paying attention to.

They have some cool songs available and the quality of some recordings is quite acceptable.

my beloved, smokey city
4 Apr 2006, 09:51 by jemmy_chaos
So just back from Berlin and washing the cigarette smoke out of my clothes still. God, none of those people are going to live past 40 at this rate. Have they not heard of lung cancer?
We only went out clubbing twice in the end. First night, the alarm went off after 2 hours of disco napping and we swtiched it off and slept through for another 13 hours. I think that was 6 months of stress-induced sleeplessness we had to recover from (my boyfriend sits Oxford Finals in May). Friday night we went to the fabulous Week12End in Alexanderplatz for F.U.N. I enjoyed it, although night as much as the Basic night with Steve Bug we'd gone to last summer there. We shoudl have danced earlier to Munk as the dj afterwards got a bit too bangin'.
Saturday night we were back to Maria am Ostbahnhof, where Corona beer is only 3 euros a pop. Magic. The frist dj up was a guy from the Hard Wax record shop who was playing much too aggressive techno for that time of night. …
