Someone posted a link to this on the SynthSights yahoo news group. Worth the 10 minutes of your time.

Artist: react[ivat]ion

Toronto-based art project involving mallets and public art (how can you not like it already). Strikingly haunting to listen to.

"For the post-modern viewer, the whole lure of the concept of "public art" was it's freedom from galleries. Much of the strength of the work came from the fact that it could stand on its own as art beyond the modern concept of curation. But does placing modern abstract forms in public settings really make the work more powerful and give it greater validity as "art"? And what do these works really mean to the public that encounters them everyday? The purpose of this project is to give these "forms" (the sculptures) a "use" (percussive performance incited by the intended audience), or rather to give function to the inanimate forms, in an attempt to give the sculptures more "meaning" as works of "public art". It is an attempt to put the "public" back into the term "public art", not only as an audience, but as a participant."

Label: The Umbrella Noize Collective

Interesting Oklahoma City based experimental drone/found sound/noise label. I particularly liked ctephin's The Limitation ov Tone Vol.2 - The Oklahoma Sky.

I am going to be releasing an exclusive recording on the Umbrella Noize Collective site sometime over the next few weeks. Plus I am in discussions with ctephin to do a collaborative release on the Roil noise label. Stay tuned.

Label: [seedsound]

"there is no specific genre to classify seedsound, just good tunes from good people, all around the world."

Loved the the banjo consorsium, an interesting mix of contemporary production techniques and organic instruments. Reminds me of The Books, creators of my favourite album last year, Lost and Safe.

Label: telescope

"Telescope is a new Polish netlabel focused on electronic ambient, abstract, experimental, click music, dub-tech, idm, minimal... "

I enjoyed the vitalis popoff release, Die albanische Musik, great drum and bass influenced ambient dub.
