Informazioni su Lewitt [sp1]

Essere aggiornati sui nuovi processi tecnologici, la smania passiva di possedere infiniti archivi di file scaricati da interrnet (che mai si potra' avere il tempo di ascoltare con la necessaria attenzione) porta a trascurare la reale assimilazione d'idee e di processi creativi. Una corsa sfrenata all'archiviazione di file che ingolfa i computer e atrofizza la memoria, la diffusione di hard-disk sempre piu' capienti ci spinge sempre di piu' all'archiviazione, senza avere il tempo di vivere cio' che e' stato archiviato. Nessun ritardo ed errore e' ammesso all'interno del processo creativo e percettivo. Un movimento di musicisti dalla meta' degli anni 90' si e' opposto alle logiche sin qui descritte, indicando la strada da percorrere non in quella di avere "il massimo" dalle informazioni o dai software, ma quella di poter pensare, ricordare e sviluppare percorsi propri, fuori o dentro quelle stesse informazioni e quegli stessi software. "una volta archiviato e' piu' facile dimenticare. Releghiamo ai computer la possibilita' di ricordare, ma loro non conoscono altro modo di ricordare se non salvando i file, se non archiviandoli. A noi resta il compito piu' difficile, quello di ricordare"- Carsten Nicolai - Lewitt [sp1] e' un laboratorio neo - concettuale sugli attuali processi creativi, condizionati, indotti, corrotti dalla ipertecnologia e dai media. Verranno "pubblicati" in forma seriale dei frammenti musicali su supporti scelti non casualmente, surreali, fuori dal tempo e dalla memoria, con scarsa capacita' di archiviazione, ma fondamentalmente evocativi: cassette stereo 8 -stereo 7 - micro cassette - dischi 45/78 rpm - floppy disk- mini disc - nastri magnetici...con chiaro intento "ready- made" (il contenuto sara' liberamente scaricabile) parallelamente verranno svolte delle performance "new media" e concettuali,non necessariamente a carattere musicale, Lewitt nasce (ma non solo) come critica allo sviluppo tecnologico insensato e al potere subdolo dei media. Periodicamente i lavori di Lewitt [sp1] verranno raccolti e archiviati in supporti moderni insieme alle pagine web, il laboratorio avra' un tempo determinato non programmabile, e avra' un termine. Tutto il risultato dell'esperimento sara' reso consultabile. "questa non e' l'epoca per poter portare a termine qualcosa, questa e' l'epoca dei frammenti" - Marcel Duchamp -

[SFIRE012] Ristikiehtova - Ristikiehtova

[SFIRE012] Ristikiehtova - Ristikiehtova (October 17, 2009)

The third and also the darkest Ristikiehtova full-length. Filled with unsavoury musical elements, false expectations and misplaced author pride, it is an audio trip few are eager to take. The concept this time is pretty abstract, mainly about Ristikiehtova itself and how I've felt lately. Hear it, if you feel compelled to. If you for some reason find yourself enjoying this album,feel free to spread it using any non-intrusive means you know.

[SFIRE011] Massimo Croce - Luigi Russolo Tribute

[SFIRE011] Massimo Croce - Luigi Russolo Tribute (October 4, 2009)

Biography and Info:
Massimo Croce was born in Ferrara, Italy 1966, has been living and working in Cairo since 2001. Inspired by the work of futurist musicians of the early 20th century such as Luigi Russolo, Croce celebrates "noise" as an additional element of "sound" that could be utilized in the creation of musical pieces. His music (almost a misnomer) involves the desynchronization of somewhat distorted sounds. Describing his work pattern, Croce explains that he walks the streets of Cairo with a voice recorder, recording everyday sounds to which the average Egyptian on the street is oblivious. Callers at the bus station, street vendors, the familiar bustle on the Cairene streets, all draw a smile on his face while others may huff and puff about the annoying sound level. "Normally, noise is looked upon as something annoying. Yet, we have always been living with noise," Croce said. As a matter of fact, Russolo, his role model said the same thing almost a century ago. Luigi Russolo was a painter, printmaker, writer and composer. Russolo is the forefather and theorizer of the “Electronic music” concept, invented and built instruments including Intonarumori ("intoners" or "noise machines"), to create "noises" for performance. On 11 March 1913 he published his futurist manifesto The Art of Noises (L’Arte dei rumori). The sound of the loud new world was not rendered in tones, but in noises.In order to prepare this homage, M. Croce has used the recording of the sounds originates them of the Intonarumori, has transformed these sounds with a software for computer, having created a music using the Intonarumori.
