Podcast: Emerge Outside

Jacqui O’Reilly is a singer/songwriter from Sydney, Australia. Emerging from the folk underworld into new electronic music by way of passion, projects and people, Jacqui has prepared the Emerge Outside podcast.

The podcast features a thirty minute improvised soundscape that was recorded live at the Emerge Outside performance at Performance Space, CarriageWorks in Sydney. Emerge Outside, a project conceived by Jacqui O’Reilly and Randolf Reimann (Tra La La Blip), was built on the notion that hidden outside mainstream society, people exist with a passion for music making, who often do not get a chance to inhabit a creative space, or access new technologies and artistic processes, due to social and physical barriers systemic in our society.

The project engaged nine people with and without a disability in a two day music making workshop. Using found sounds, modern synthesis techniques and a quadraphonic sound system, the group created an immersive journey into sound.

Also included in the podcast are tracks by Huw Lewis (Emerge Outside project); Sarah Bock (Press Eject/Emerge Outside project); Pumice (NZ) with his cover of Chris Knox song Grand Mal from 1989; a Daniel Johnston cover by The Ghost of 29 Megacycles (WA) and an Outside Remix by Randolf Reimann with Jacqui O’Reilly on vocals.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year folks. Welcome 2010!

Odyssey Two is a mix of music we have enjoyed this summer, opening with a crazy dance track Family Galaxy by Tim Exile. We also hear from Ellen Allien, Tipsy, Krazy Baldhead, Sonmi451 and more, plus a couple of tracks from ALT, a new release by Rothkamm on independent French label Baskaru. From Australia, we hear an excerpt from Alias Frequencies Radio Metamix and a Scattered Order track from the latest New Weird Australia compilation.

Alias Frequencies has just made available Radio Metamix. Five artists interpret the idea of remix for radio featuring Lloyd Barrett, Lucas Darklord, Buttress O’Kneel, Rik Rue and Shannon O’Neill. Radio Metamix was originally broadcast on ABC Radio National’s The Night Air on July 1, 2007, as part of the Liquid Architecture festival. Listen to the entire Alias Frequencies Radio Metamix.

New Weird Australia is a free compilation series that promotes new eclectic and experimental Australian music, available as a free download every two months. New Weird Australia also has a weekly radio show on Sydney’s FBi Radio with hosts Stuart Buchanan and Danny Jumpertz.

Enjoy the show!

Five of Australia’s leading sound artists interpret the idea of remix for radio.

• Lloyd Barrett remixes dreams, nightmares and talkback radio
• Lucas Darklord remixes the culture of Black Metal
• Buttress O’Kneel remixes her favourite remixers, including Negativland, John Oswald and Coldcut
• Rik Rue remixes his own history of remixing
• Shannon O’Neill remixes all of the above.

Radio Metamix was broadcast on ABC Radio National’s The Night Air on July 1, 2007, as part of the Liquid Architecture festival.

Guest Programmer
Lucas Darklord
corporatemanifestations.com

Lucas Darklord is the Les Hiddins of the Electro-Activist Underworld. Based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Lucas Darklord oversees the world’s largest unlisted company and holds radical views on the future of capitalism and life both within and without cultural and social constraints.

When asked to curate this broadcast, Lucas Darklord decided to, broadly, serve a selection of sounds that Eleven11 listeners may not have heard before. After being confounded by the petty limits of time and duration, Lucas Darklord settled on broadcasting excerpts in favour of complete works. Further, Lucas Darklord found that it was not possible to simply play each selected piece.

After months of solid research, a machine was devised to play pieces of the selected works, where the machine makes the decisions about when to stop and start a work. Further, because we desired it, and as it actually gives a perspective from Lucas Darklord’s interior, additional paths were developed for the sound to travel along. Along these paths the sound picks up the prickly and sticky seeds of weeds, tangles with ghostly shadows of the source sound and generally is forced through a range of pulsing and excessive filters and devices of constraint, restraint and rewonderment. The results are not any form of destructive remix, merely the most restraint Lucas Darklord is capable of.

Note: Almost all works presented here are excerpts, and all have had additional sounds and textures (sourced from the original recordings) incorporated into the work. No disrespect is intended to the fine work originally rendered by the creating artist/s.

Podcast: All Together Wrong

About the podcast: “What is on this podcast? Trials, plan B’s, errors and rehearsals, leftovers and whoulda-coulda-shouldas, the stuff remaining under the wet hood: the little fellas that didn’t make it. Sketches, leftovers and drafts: an amalgam of wrongs.

This 11 tracks date from 1999 til 2009, since “bounced” they are no longer editable (a couple are mis-mixes from “Smile Hunter”). They are the elaborate trials of my inner professional artistoid, working the “crashing patching and doodling of doing”, on some very nice afternoons (obviously with the intention of making of all the right mistakes) next to the roaches and fliers and the hope filled tool bags of the sleepwalking artisan.” ~ Once11

Once11 (aka Ignacio Platas) born in Montevideo has never stood still for a second. He was an active member of the infamous Brooklyn Williamsburg scene (‘90-’93). In 91, after building environments at Keep refrigerated, legendary illegal underground Williamsburg club, he co-founded Lalalandia Entertainment Research Corporation, whose large scale fountains, omnisensorial environments and pneumatic installations have been written about in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Lalalandia made many of the most memorable Brooklyn warehouse after- hours environments of that period.

In 1994, he started up Multipolyomni and We™. We™’s ‘97 release “as is” is considered a classic. We™ opened for the Orb that spring. Their third release, “decentertainment” landed them at Barcelona’s Sonar ‘99. Multipolyomni’s ‘97 New York production of the Solar Drama from their opera Quark Soup, projected a massive live view of the sun perpetually rising for 24 hours, broadcast LIVE from 127 consecutive locations as the world turned around once. It hosted 77 live performers and artists on two floors. The Early Aquatic Episode, ‘96 at the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, also from Quark Soup, was hailed by the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as “the only work in scale with the Anchorage”.

In 99 he moved to Barcelona and formed a team to find solutions for marrying video game navigation, 3D music interface, audio visualization, hybrid environments, digital architecture, 3D sound, audio localization, and analogue input controllers. He developed the demo sutoolz 1.0 alpha. A 3D software interface for music performance. By navigating through a 3D virtual architecture the musician uses a set of 3D tools to interact with the virtual environment: gameplay zones, speaker volumes, speaker volume membranes, speaker navigation volumes and 3D multi-band FFT visualization systems.

In 2000 he released his first solo cd, Once11 Versus the Pyramid, followed by Smile Hunter in 2006, both on the Agriculture label.

Always moving forward Once11 started Meta Flora in 2002 and led a team to Costa Rica for 3 years building synergetic renewable bamboo structures. In 2004 he founded the Bamboo Institute. The Bamboo Institute seeks to develop innovative ways to utilize bamboo’s incredible potential to help solve a wide range of the problems facing the planet. Why not work on improving and promoting bamboo architecture and design, primarily focused on furthering the development and utilization of bamboo as a building material the strongest and fastest growing plant on the planet.

Quite possibly one of the greatest albums ever made, this untitled release is the meeting of two of Australia’s most interesting, most underground, and most belligerently misanthropic sound-artists.  Any collaboration between Buttress O’Kneel, with her sample-happy postpop cheeky-as-a-schoolgirl breakmashing, and Lucas Darklord, with his dark grinding corporate evil-as-a-business-retreat scrapescapes, was sure to be extreme.  But their decision to cover the entirety of Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, track by track, using no source-material but the original songs themselves, makes an extremity that will perhaps awaken the sleeping Rock Gods, dormant since Bonham’s untimely vomit-inhaling demise.  A rock-purist’s worst nightmare, and a sample-police’s greatest dream, this album marks the year 2009 as a year when THINGS CHANGED.

Buttress O’Kneel (Melbourne)
http://www.myspace.com/buttressokneel

Buttress O’Kneel is a sound artist from Melbourne, who has to date released 12 plunderphonic audio-documentaries (on topics such as globalisation, Harry Potter, war, oil, racism, humyn rights, 9/11, exorcisms, “Australian values” and the Bilderberg Group), 13 albums of culture-jammed post-pop noncore metabreaks, and several other Special Projects, including live manipulations of mainstream CDs through a series of destructive guitar pedals, collaborations with various other folks (including a fully sick deconstruction of Led Zeppelin IV with Blue Mountains misanthrope, Lucas Darklord), and commissioned art-pieces for the ABC.

She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.

This Eleven Eleven Special is a surreal journey through time and space, where the listener can meet some of her friends, influences, idols, total strangers whose work she thinks totally rocks, and of course her good self. CONTAINS NO BREAKCORE.

Buttress O’Kneel will be performing in Sydney for the first time for Liquid Architecture 10 more details…

In the year 2000, Buttress O’Kneel (with the help of her housemates at the time, fellow artists Mantis Sage, Aynat Sool, Panthera Leo, and A D MacHine) began documenting the artistic works of several robots that had achieved unprogrammed sentience.  These robots were never designed to be creative, but, perhaps through simple wear and tear, commonplace quantum occurrences, or perhaps through their own dogged persistence, these robots began displaying artistic musickal tendencies, reworking and remixing standard CDs into stuttering, abstracted comments on modern humyn culture.  Every night, as the humyns sat down in front of the stereo and attempted to play some musick, the robots would take over and present them with an astounding improvised glitchfest of cultural detournement and live sonic manipulation.  And, thankfully for us, Buttress and her friends would quickly press “record” on the tape deck, and have captured much of those heady A.I. jam sessions for us to enjoy to this day.

These tracks have not been manipulated or edited in any way by humyn hands, but are the carefully-preserved cassette recordings of these artificial intelligences, verbatim, as they were played.  Some have called this musick “AIDM” (artificial intelligence dance music), others “unplunderphonics”, while some have even said “hang on, that’s just a CD player skipping”.  But no matter what the label, there are few people who would deny that these sessions may indeed have not only revolutionised our vision of commonly-available machines as robots, but also our own vision of ourselves as uniquely creative.  And, thanks to Alias Frequencies, these archived tracks are now available for you to enjoy nearly a decade later.  While the mechanical artists who created these pieces have long passed away or been put out in hard rubbish collections, we still have these recordings of their works to remember them by, and, whenever we are questioning our own artistic validity, can always use them as a shining example of what can be acheived, against all likelihood, all intentions, and all odds.  Some people will always see these works as malfunctions – others will always see them as acts of revolutionary art.  And truly, what is the difference?

NOTE: Exhibits V through Z are edited constructions created by B’O'K from raw CD skips, as a memorial to all the robots.  All the robots involved in these recordings are now deceased.  R.I.P.

With her Snares-influences fading, Buttress returned to her unique musickal place, straddling pop, mashup, and breakcore, this time creating a musical flow that brings to mind her ground-breaking “MegaMegamix”, and the “meme-couplets” of “MemeCore”.  With a blend of glitch-pop and mashcore, and such sources as Madonna, Dethklok, Bowie, Dead Kennedys, Portishead, and Popcorn, O’Kneel creates a break-heavy megamix that pauses only to deliver every expletive Samuel L Jackson unleashes in “Pulp Fiction”, condensed into one single surreal stream of abuse, before screeching back off again into popmangled madness.  This is the album that MySpace wouldn’t let her upload.  Interwebmegalink-approved.

Buttress decided to follow her accessible, poppy, enjoyable album “Hard DadaPop” with one of the most difficult listens she’s ever created.  Although she writes this album off as simply “what happens when I listen to too much Venetian Snares”, it still has the unmistakable “O’Kneel” stamp all over it.  Sure, it’s mostly all in 7, sure, it’s 100% extreme digital breakcore, and, sure, it’s filled with stretched and glitched noise passages that would make Mr Funk shake his furry head, but it also incorporates enough elements of Billy Idol, Black Sabbath, Operator Please, and I Dream Of Genie that it could only be the work of B’O’K.  More like an EP that remixes itself three times than an album, “NonCore” is nonetheless 100% Interwebmegalink-approved.

With the tenth in the compop series “Classic Hits: Live 2007” being dedicated to live reinterpretations of many of her classic pieces (transformed through a CDJ and several guitar pedals), this return to the studio took Buttress to new realms entirely. Inspired and freshened, her ear turned once again to the multi-mash-up, and pushing the genre as far as it could go. One of her poppiest releases since “Hyperpop”, this album sees Bjork and Bowie hijacked into glitch-n-bass, Led Zeppelin and Young MC fused at the riff, and Enya coupling with Morbid Angel’s drummer, all glued together with The Knife’s “Heartbeats”, and ending with a long drifting live track from 2006.

After her triumphant “core” series was wrapped up with the invention of “corecore”, Buttress was determined to be the first to go beyond it.  So, while others were still trying to come to terms with the concepts behind “corecore”, she created the mind-bending new genre “post-corecore”.  Not only does this album apply the tools and strategies developed in the “core” trilogy to works by artists such as Yes, Rihanna, Madonna, and the B-52’s, but it again extends the “core” genre with the inclusion of heart-breaking MOR ballads, stretched noisescapes, drone-based live material, and her infamous Windows-cracking track that was used to close the documentary “Steal this Film II”.  Interwebmegalink-approved.

The final in her “core” trilogy, “CoreCore” again revels in the grunting syncopation of breakcore, but mixes it with an altogether softer touch.  As well as the classic Public-Enemy-meets-the-Seinfeld-theme opening track, O’Kneel incorporates several of her more psychedelic-drone live tracks (created with a CDJ and a buncha guitar pedals).  Although, there’s still plenty of filthy breakcore (including the cookie-monster-metal-mashup “C is For Satan”), this final in the “core” trilogy sees her wrapping up the series with a focus on what breakcore can become, rather than what it already is.  Interwebmegalink-approved.

Following on from the broken shitcore of Compop 6.66, Buttress gives us the second in her “core” trilogy; a meme-splicing dadaist culture-tweaking album that straddles both the worlds of breakcore and mashup, to create something truly unique.  With several tracks blending together to create longer pieces (“aural meme-couplets” as she calls them), this album draws its sources from the likes of Skyhooks, the Pussycat Dolls, and Shakira.  To accompany the frenetic and sometimes-painful breakcore tracks, she intersperses them with pure mash tracks like “Get One Thing Right” (where she simply places J-Lo and Amerie over each other), and ends with an insane live drone track, recorded live at Black Lotus’s “ArseCore”, 2006.  Interwebmegalink-approved.

O’Kneel’s first deliberate foray into the ubiquitous “distorted-and-cut-up-amen-break” genre known as “breakcore”, this album sees her applying it to as many unlikely and inappropriate sources as possible: Radiohead, the Beatles, even Peter Allen.  As well as trying to reinvent breakcore as a pop phenomenon, she simultaneously makes her beats filthier and more jarring, creating what she dubbed “shitcore”.  Not only does this album cover the entire gamut of her shitcore techniques (a style she never fully manages to shake off on any of her albums to follow), but it contains the dancefloor-shaking pop sensation “No Bananas”, as well as four bonus live tracks from her megadistorted “MONO” recordings of 2004.  Interwebmegalink-approved.
