@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.

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

Prayer Drone

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.

Runar Magnusson – disturbing in more ways than one

    Runar Magnusson /Edition# / Vindva Mei / Hljóðaklettar 

Composer and a sound designer.

“I work a lot with field recordings, sounds from nature and the environment around me. I use these recordings both in the original form and manipulated.
I create atmospheres inspired by nature, horror movies, noise and meditation.”

I finished in 2009 a masters degree in Electronic Music Composition at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, where I amongst other things worked with surround sound and made a soundtrack for The Dreamachine.

I have made music and sound design for numerous theater and performance pieces over the last 10 years.
I have 4 solo releases and 3 releases with Vindva Mei.

Other than doing music solo i also have 3 duo projects.
First one and the oldest called Vindva Mei with Petur Eyvindsson. We have been working together since the 80´s in various guises. 
As Vindva Mei since 1994.
The second is called Alien UFO together with Helgi Thorsson (Stilluppsteypa & Evil Madness)
The third one is at the moment called Runar Magnusson & The Crying Cowboy (The Cowboy being my brother Kristinn Magnusson on vocals)  
I am a co founder and curator of the labels Whitelabel (with Petur Eyvindsson a.k.a. DJ Musician)  and Hljodaklettar (with Sabrina Joy).
