This track was made for the compilation "MAKE NOISE MYANMAR"  to support the Burmese opposition in their struggle against their brutal military that has used violence for decades to silence any protests.

∞8888∞ (2021)

My track ∞8888∞ for the compilation is a reference to the uprising in Burma in august 1988 led by students that protested when one of their fellow studens got killed by the military. This massive demonstration ended in a massacre in which thousands of civilians where killed by the military, something that might have inspired their big brother, China to slaughter their own students less than a year later at Tiananmen Square and other locations in Beijing. The largest massacre of Chinese citizen in modern times.

The people of Burma have been protesting against the military junta for years, last large uprising in 2007 led by tens of thousands of Buddhist monks resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of people, arrested and tortured. 
This particularly brutal regime run by simpleminded generals seems to be disappointed that the citizens of Burma have chosen not to support these brutes by voting for them in democratic elections. They have now taken up their old routine of using deadly force against peaceful protesters. The world needs to stand up and act. To demand peace restored, the election results respected and forcing these murderous maniacs out of power.

@octalindustries is the solo project of Jónas Thor Gudmundsson. The project was originally founded in 2003 by Jonas and Mike Sickinger, the founder of the Octal label. The debut release of their collaboration was the Automatik EP on the Transistor Rhythm output. Couple of years later they joined their friend Deep Chord for a shared 12“ release, which today is a quite a valuable gem for dub techno lovers. The three of them joined hands together later that year to create a 3x12“ release undir the pseudonym Spectral Network. The release was quite limited (111 copies) and was considered one of the most interesting 12“ releases that year by many critics. 
After the release of the Spectral Network eps the duo went for hiatus as other projects took over, also as opportunity for musical collaborations became harder as the Atlantic Ocean divides them. Jonas continued working on other projects as @ruxpin – producing numerous releases along the way. 
In 2011 the duo was asked by the French independent label @entropy-records to do some releases. As Michael was unable to participate, Jonas went on solo and worked on a full-length release, which later became Meeting of the Waves LP. Another remix followed for G.R.I.T. which was hailed by dubtechnoblog.com as the best remix of the year 2012.   
In more recent years, Octal Industries has been working on numerous collaborations with artists such as fellow Icelander @ohm-599575574 - and fruits of their work has been released on labels such as @thule-records, Rawax, @luckofaccess, @allinnrecords and many more. 
Octal Industries also released works independently in 2019 an EP entitled Julia Sets on @kontaktrecordscph, which featured a remix from the Detroit legend @mikehuckaby – and his second full-length album Our Seasons, which was released on Vertex in December 2019. 
Octal Industries, although being Icelandic in origin, works and resides in Tallinn, Estonia.

The Walk

Nagranie pokazujące różnicę w brzmieniu skrzypienia drzewa z zewnątrz i z jego wnętrza. Na zewnątrz mikrofon AT BP4025 umieszczony kilkadziesiąt centymetrów od skrzypiącego drzewa. We wnętrzu wetknięte w próchniejące u podstawy drzewo mikrofony LOM Uši.
Pierwsze dwie minuty (00:00 - 2:00) to nagranie z zewnątrz - z mikrofonu AT BP 4025.
Kolejne dwie minuty (2:00 - 4:00) to nagranie z wnętrza drzewa - z LOM Uši
Ostatnie dwie minuty (4:00 - 6:00) to połączone oba nagrania z wnętrza i z zewnątrz.

A recording showing the differences in the sound of the creaking of a tree from outside and its inside. Outside, the AT BP4025 microphone is located a few dozen centimeters from the creaking tree. Inside, LOM Uši microphones are stuck in the rotting base of the tree.
The first two minutes (0:00 - 2:00) are recorded from the outside  - from the AT BP 4025 microphone.
The next two minutes (2:00 - 4:00) is a recording from inside the tree - with LOM Uši.
The last two minutes (4:00 - 6:00) are both inside and outside recordings combined.

Let’s hear a well known house track of the early 90s, with a vocal line that inspired the title of this pod. We’ll hear it in two different versions and talk about sampling. Fresh ideas are born in the name of inspiration. How everyone borrows a snippet of someone’s creation and make it their own. 
A track has a dna, but part of it can be dressed up in new gowns and present itself as something familiar but yet from another planet. Sampling was universal in early house music. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this website: whosampledwho.com 

Put on your dance shoes and travel with me to the 90s.

Autechre - Mix for Neuvoids

The music of Naarm/Melbourne composer Lisa Lerkenfeldt channels a unique wavelength of foreboding, interstitial electronics, incorporating strategies of musique concrete threaded with veiled currents of melody and hypnosis. Recent recordings for Vienna Press, Longform Editions and Aught Void have demonstrated different depths of process and finesse but her latest, Collagen, captures perhaps the most complete and complex manifestation of her craft to date.

Drawing on a disciplined palette of peach wood combs, contact microphones, piano, strings, and feedback, the album moves in low, looming arcs, ascending to strange purgatories of opaque atmosphere. Lerkenfeldt cites a core aspiration to “elevate the everyday,” transforming common objects into otherworldly sound sources, which colors Collagen with a beguiling tactility, like vibrations traced in sand. The tracks shift in frequency and feeling, alternately heady and bodily, acoustic and synthetic, isolated states of static, light, and undertow skirting the outer rings of ambient, noise, and modern composition.

Although each piece exists in its own rare air the composite panorama they present is striking in its sweep and subtlety. Lerkenfeldt's muse seems one of evasion as much as evocation, navigating negative spaces for their subliminal whispers of dread or beauty. It's an aesthetic both ascetic and exploratory, minimalist mirages of resonance, texture, and gravity skewed through the pensive glow of room tone.

But Lerkenfeldt is too versatile an artist for purist restraint, which Collagen demonstrates dramatically in its closing cut, “Champagne Smoke.” A quivering bowed eulogy ebbs under a flickering film of distortion, slowly swelling in sorrow until suddenly the screech goes silent, revealing a murmuring phantom haze hidden beneath the strings, like a specter lost in an abandoned house.

14 Gestures associated with this album will be performed in experimental film and online viewing room of graphic notation at 14gestures.com from 29th July to 29th October, 2020.

Collagen releases on Shelter Press in LP / DL format on August 21, 2020. LP mastered and cut by Kassian Troyer at D+M, designed by Bartolomé Sanson with art by Lisa Lerkenfeldt, housed in reverse-board inner and outersleeve, including a 16 pages limited edition score book.

LISA LERKENFELDT 'The Weight Of History'

I stuck my LOM Audio Geofon to this old grain/feed silo tower on the harbour in the small Danish town of Kerteminde... It was quite windy and the tall metal structure played a pretty descending melody - Bb A G - It's quite clear in the beginning of the recording... As well as the seagulls and someone talking...At the very end you'll some deep resonance from someone walking across the great big metal plate for the truck scale (bridge weight)

Dark Matter, formerly nicknamed "mass", was composed by GKO in 1985 for the ELGAR/KUKL project. The present version was recorded in Studio Hljóðriti and Studio Grettisgat in 1987 by Mel Jefferson. Accompanying GKO in this production are Birgir Mogensen, Einar Melax, Bogomil and Björk. This is the first official publication, while a live version was recorded by the Icelandic Television in 1986, but was declared classified and destroyed by the staff of RÚV.
