Noise Flash II

Noise Flash No.2

So it's been aproximatly six months since the last Noise Flash so we're doing it again. This time it is outside the forecourt of the Melbourne Museum. This time I'll actually be controling my devices, not letting nature do the hard work...

Info from the facebook event:

Noise Flash
Curated by Todd Anderson-Kunert

Presented as a part of the Liquid Architecture Festival.
http://www.liquidarchitecture.org.au/

Concept
Noise Flash is a silent experimental audio performance, whereby the audio is performed live and broadcast via short wave FM radio transmitters. Thirty four artists will be performing simultaneously using acoustically silent devices that are battery powered. Audience members wishing to hear the performance need to bring a FM radio and headphones, and tune into the broadcast frequency (Note: ‘Scanner’ type radios that don’t allow you to dial in a particular frequency may not pick up the signal). Within the performance space, nothing will be acoustically audible.

The experimental audio performers will be positioned outside at the forecourt of the Melbourne Museum (at the entrance to the museum, outside, under the giant roof!). Audience members will be invited to walk through the performance space. The average transmitting distance of the FM transmitters is approximately 5 meters, which means that an audience member’s proximity to a performer dictates the audio they hear.

When close to a performer, an audience member will hear only that performer. When between performers, the signal fades and interacts with other signals in the space. This can cause interesting mixes of audio, static, and distortion. It also puts the audience member directly in control of how they hear the performance. Their physical journey through the space ultimately dictates their interpretation of the audio performance.

This is a free event.

Two "New" Splits.

After about three years wait on both these releases they have been released.

First we have the split with Tar Pits from Melbourne out on Hoarse Recordings.
Pro-pressed green C40 tapes with full colour gloss covers.
Two sides of moody melancholic music. Tar Pits side consisting of some of the best dark ambient I've heard of late. The Dotabata side consisitng of a piece of restrained looped guitar, bells, etc, descending into a haze of noise...
Email cantakerousrecords@gmail.com for a copy.

Second we have the split with Gorgonized Dorks from California (USA) out on Placenta Recordings.
3' CDr in Jewel case.
Blurb from the label: "HARSH NOISE GRIND"
