Assaf, I'll check some of your recommendations out soon. Unfortunately this will probably not be as soon as I would hope, considering the AU dollar is up sh*t creek and my server has blocked all d/l'ing.
Some good discs (IMO) brought out this year. Two close to home (NZ artists): Douglas Liburn - Complete Electro-Acoustic Works (3 disc set + a dvd) & there was a new Omit recording out this year also called Interceptor. Not as good as my personal fav. Tracer, but still up there on my albums released this year. This next one is probably a little closer to music concrete, but still worth a mention. Lionel Marchetti - Adèle et Hadrien (Le livre des vacances) Have you heard any of those 'Obscure Tape Music of Japan' volumes released on Omega Point this year? heard some pretty varied opinions. |

I'll check these, thanks Adam.
I've heard of Omit but have yet to listen to his music, I just ordered his Tracer album. Don't know anything about the "Obscure Tape Music of Japan", sorry. |

this link covers a lot of the Vol. of the Obscure Tape Music:
http://www.fusetronsound.com/index.php?whomlab=OmegaPoint & rateyourmusic has then lined up neatly http://rateyourmusic.com/label/omega_point_records_f1/ I'm pretty sure Joji Yuasa featured on that OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music: 1948-1980, so I thought there could be some important historical documents amongst these releases. Pretty pricey tho' to make a gamble. |

^ really great sound creators...but nothing new for me, I'm familiar with this scene and in particular with the GRM pioneering researches since years.

Yeah, nothing new, but great to discover for those who don't.
I still need to get that Parmegiani boxset, I only have some of his output which is outstanding. Philippe, have a look at the other mentions on this thread, some are from newer artists (Olivia Block, Thomas Dimuzio and others). |

Been having lots of fun with the Dimuzio albums I've ordered and also finally ordered and received the Parmegiani boxset which is AWESOME! 12 cd's with his best work and a large booklet in English and French discussing his work and also notes on the particular pieces found on the 12 cd's.

I'm really into 60' 70' Library Music, and that's why I've stumbled over Egisto Macchi. The three albums I got Voix, Bioritmi and Futurissimo are
all rare collectors items. Nothing I found written about him will
prepare you for his unique sounduniverse, but this review on Futurissimo written by ladouce clipped from Rate Your Music comes pretty close:
...Sustained strings, accidental orchestral bursts and chimes-like electronics... This is SO incredibly beautiful! Somewhere between Luc Ferrari's "Interrupteur", François Bayle's "Les couleurs de la nuit" and Eric Demarsan's "L'armée des ombres". It can also remind abstract pieces of Morricone, with a similar use of electric guitar taken out of its context, like pop culture artefacts A brilliant oeuvre, really. To be listened when it's dark out.... I know they're not normally associated with this scene, but actually a lot of Library albums made by quite famous film composers like Piero Umiliani, Ennio Morricone (often using psuedonyms) etc are experimental, electroaqoustic compositions. Morricone's Controfase is a fantastic album filled with atonal and electronic sounds. |

Not been listening to EAM lately, but has anyone had any new music discovered that you're excited about?

i was curious about this electro acustic thing, sounded interesting, but not anymore. I tried to listen some of recomendations here , but i found that i don't like this music at all, if it could be called music at all, to me it is sum of various sounds which don't make a whole, no flow , no melody, disconnected loops, drones, noise, . I heard Francois bayle - Camera Oscura (even i found some table tennis sounds here) , Espaces Inhabitables; Francis Dhomont - Cycle de l'errance - Mouvances - Mйtaphores 1; Bernard Parmegiani - La Creation du Monde ; and i 'am very disapointed from this music. In the past i've tried to listen similar music to this one you called electro acustic, it was labeled as noise/drone/dark ambient/avantguarde or something like that but no success then, and now i bumped into this similar music of yours, and i still don't understand that noise,looping, drones, weird sounds, eerie atmosphere, creepy . then i heard artists like : Aesthetic Meat Front, Atomine Elektrine, Dagda Mor, Desiderii Marginis, Nobody and leutha, In Slaughter Natives, Moljebka pvlse
sorry mocking your music but it sounds like that to me.

^^ "Man, you just don't get it,do you? how can you say such a nonsense. can you support this statement with some proof. Let me tell you the answer , you cannot once one infects with E-A desease ,it is inevitable process, cannot be reversed.it grows more and more(if one realy loves E-A, not those like YOU) so want to explore more deeper into genre. this is the ultimate Quest. Starts digging in E-A contininuum , and suddenly see there is no coming back , he has reached the pick of E-A genre. and he is happy with it. please reconsider that , you are very wrong. it is called GREAT MUSIC(WHICH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. It is art , and devine one. when you have no proof to back up your statement, it cannot be considered as rightious.It is all a matter of opinion which in this Angelmk case is false
Sorry, couldn't resist. Your words, not mine. Only the genre has been changed.

I like quite a bit of E-A music, but I also have something of an aversion to the really experimental end of the spectrum. Here's something for you to check out. (go to T-Rex in case it doesn't come up at the top of the \list. Its a bit more musical, but still squarely E-A. All the sounds in this piece are made either by the live trombone player or from sampled recordings of trombones being played, hit, and otherwise abused in some way. It shows off both the electronics and the instrument in a fun, mostly musical way. Edited by Trademark - March 06 2009 at 13:05 |

i heard coolville music, and i like it, it is very different from those artists i've heard labeled as EA , coolville has many classical moments which i enjoy, and unlike those loops ,and noise heard before, coolville music is nice flowing , i especially enjoyed ''saturday night porch music '' , ''elegy ''is very calm and peacefull nice listen, T-rex has some interesting experimental trombone playing ,not bad.

Here's another piece you might like. This is about as far in the experimental direction as I can go. This is by a composer named Neil Rolnick and is for an instrument called the iFiddle (which is really just a basic violin with a pickup and a WHOLE LOT of electronic processing as as as I can understand. It has some minimalist tendencies, but is once again very much in the Electro-Acoustic camp. I have a recording two pieces by Rolnik for Synthsizers and traditional instruments (called Real Time and A La Mode) and it is also pretty good stuff. I had it on an old cassette from the 70's (bad recording). Couldn't find an online recording of it. Edited by Trademark - March 06 2009 at 14:36 |
