25th November 2013 marks 3 years since Peter died, so it's time to re-post as the original link to this recording has expired.

We all miss you Uncle Sleazy.

The first hour of my DJ set at Bleep43 on December 3rd was a tribute to Peter Christopherson, who died on November 25th.
I chose tracks that either featured his voice, or that I especially connected with him.

Many people have asked me about the set and if it was recorded, so I've decided to make it available.

Recorded at Corsica Studios, London, between 11pm and Midnight on December 3rd, 2010.

Peter Christopherson Tribute Mix

The only image was a disk ( excerpt )

January 2016

All 31 tones are sung together from 2mins 30secs onwards, prior to this notes are mixed in and out creatively. 

Before mixing, notes were loosely harmonically grouped, with particular attention paid to 'near' matches so as to exploit the bouncing harmonic effect of tones being slightly out of tune.

January is "OOOU"

EMBER

An extract from a performance inside the soon-to-be-demolished East Tower, part of the BBC's original Television Centre complex. This recording was made entirely from the naturally-occurring sounds of the tower, particularly the resonant frequencies of the empty rooms and  gutted offices. Thanks to Television Centre and Something More Near.

Taken from the Pancrace 2LP (PP28) out early April 2017

Penultimate Press is proud to present the debut recording from French outfit Pancrace.

Music for pipe organ Stiehr-Mockers 1848, Bird Calls, Baroque Violin, Tin Whistle, Boîtes à Bourdons, Landscape Piano, Motorised Bow, Standuino Pi Synth, Microphones, Hurgy Toys, AM radio, Church Bells, Uilleann Pipes and Hulusi. 
 
Pancrace is an improvising quintet comprising French, British and Austrian performers. The members include Prune Bécheau, Arden Day, Julien Desailly, Léo Maurel and Jan Vysocky. Pancrace is also the name of the  church in Dangolsheim Alsace located next to where the instrument inventor Léo Maurel lives. Maurel makes ingeniously designed instruments inspired by the hurdy gurdy. 

The recording emerged from a disruption of the traditional elements within the church, namely the church organ which was prepared inside out whilst the performers challenged it’s gregarious authority with an array of constructed and modified instruments. In Pancrace one can hear many of these shape-shifting instruments and devices being twiddled without quite knowing which are bowed, plucked, hammered or rubbed. The results are a maelstrom of sound and song which see-saw between the harrowing and the sublime with incredible detail to sonic content.  

Pancrace instigates proceedings in the confinement of an organ; a Cyclops puffing its continuous and raucous breath only to be woken by instruments who, like horseflies, mischievously start tormenting proceedings with microtones and striated polyrhythms. The journey ends four sides later with the language of the birds imposing an unadorned silence on the church.

Excerpt from the album "American Composers" 
(Snow in Water Records, 2019)

James Tenney - Have Never Written a Note for Percussion

From the 3rd Album of Seuil Optique, "Les Habitants" (Eg0cide Productions).

Seuil Optique, duo of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, offers a unique experience of listening to music in the dark. Immersing the stage and the public in constant darkness, Seuil Optique creates soundscapes where electronic transmissions, acousmatic landscapes and refined drones intersect. By jostling the boundaries between listening, blind manipulation of machines and immersive experience offered to the audience, the two musicians explore new sound tracks, in permanent dialogue with hybrid musicalities and the practice of singular instruments: persephone, field recording, electro-acoustic devices, matrices and samples.
On stage, they use deliberately “open” improvisation strategies and defeat the boundaries between manipulating machines in the dark, harmonics tinged with noise-producing materials and the “eyes closed” hearing experience offered to the public.

Seuil Optique’s third album, Les Habitants, focuses on the practice of electronic improvisation. Recorded in three days and three nights, in Paris, in total darkness, Les Habitants aims to be a place of recognition of gesture as a creative act. No preparation beforehand, no benchmark, no intro or climax, only the interaction between two ways of producing spectral imprints. In this sound dialogue, electronics are the vector of total sincerity: the inhabitants target the listener, bringing them to live the experience of the moment that guides the “non-idiomatic” music of Seuil Optique, in which each sound, each transmitted waveform is dedicated to the inhabitants of the present.

Lampshade

I explore physical landscapes through sound, re-interpreting and re-imagining, using techniques of field recordings, assemblage, found objects, digital processes and improvisation.

The improvisations are a continuous landscape of noise impressions.
