Simon Whetham
Ascension_Suspension CD (E41) 2006
These minimally-processed recordings of cable cars were made
during a trip to the Portes du Soleil region of France, in Les Gets,
Morzine and Les Lindarets. The sounds have been layered to
enhance the feelings of suspense and tension experienced during
the journey.
Bristol-based Simon has been a musician for almost 20 years.
In 2000 he composed and recorded the soundtrack to artist
Kathryn Thomas’ first solo London exhibition, and has continued
to record music for her shows, as well as working on his own
experimental pieces.
Filter Feeder Resistance Cycle/Invisible Orchestra
The Milgram Obedience… Trail of Droplets
Formatt Engtevrees
Jac Beloeil An Absent–Minded Track
CD (E35) 2006
A compilation of four early 3" CD releases. Resistance Cycle/
Invisible Orchestra (E11): the first track was recorded with a
1960s valve sine wave tone generator, the second with records
and turntables. Trail of Droplets (E13): four tracks of filmic
and melancholic electronic music by Ben Norland’s The Milgram
Obedience to Authority Experiment. Engtevrees (E14): Peter
Smeekens’ work straddles analogue and digital technologies
without being overly suggestive of either. Engtevrees illustrates
this well over its 20-minute duration. It’s composed entirely of
a recording made at an underground car park in Antwerp which
was then manipulated with a computer, tape decks and effects.
An Absent–Minded Track (E15): a powerful union of error and
coincidence, captured onto tape via an erratic analogue keyboard
emitting its last battery pulse.
Oliveiri/Figure
Celest CD (E32) 2006
Chad Oliveiri is a journalist living in Rochester, NY. A long-term
self-taught guitarist, he began recording audio experiments to
cassette while in high school. The advent of laptop computing
allowed him to realise many of his ideas in a much more
time-efficient manner.
Figure (Brannon Hungness) has released several albums, and has
performed extensively throughout the US and Europe, either solo
or with projects including Oblivion Ensemble, Glenn Branca
Ensemble, Hammerhead, and Kill Myself on Monday. He has also
recorded with Elliot Sharp and Tony Levin, and has shared the
stage with Zeena Parkins and Phillip Glass, amongst many others.

Capture/Create CD (E29) 2005
This Chicago-based electro-acoustic improv trio consisting of
Joshua Convey (bass), Stephen Fiehn (CD players, guitar, iPod),
and Steven Hess (drums, vibraphone) has been working together
since mid–2004. Capture/Create’s two tracks were recorded
straight to MiniDisc using a strategically placed stereo microphone.

16.20 to 17.00 CD (E25) 2005

a performance by Signals (comprising Cheapmachines and Karina
ESP). This is an acoustic recording; any audible reference to
Signals’ performance is entirely coincidental.

First Installation 3" CD (E24) 2005
Originally conceived and recorded as an eight-speaker surround-
sound installation for Martin Holtkamp’s Bad Girls! photography
exhibition which took place in November 2003 at Pineal Eye,
London. It is largely based on audio extracted from video
recordings made in Berlin during August that year.
Jacques Beloeil
Quatre tonalités pour enceintes urbaines CD (E23) 2005
Produced with a Casio keyboard, an effects unit, a tape recorder,
and a microphone. The seemingly simplistic instrumentation belies
the four tracks’ sustained elegance and Beloeil’s compositional flair.
Parts of this album will be remastered and reissued in 2009.
The Digitariat
Agitated CD (E22)
Three remarkable tracks by Paul D. Knowles, displacing and replacing
The Digitariat’s hectic and dense sound with drawn-out and disciplined
drones, silences and snippets of noise, without losing focus or diluting
the potency of the source material. All tracks were recorded in one
take during July 2005.
David Payne
Feedback #2 CD (E19) 2005
This is the second part in Canadian David Payne’s series of
recordings documenting the exploration of feedback loops as a
primary sound source. This series focuses on a process of aural
manipulation where the artist has very little control over the
sound produced. All tracks were improvised directly to tape,
with no overdubs or editing.
