ccm # 25: radio free albemuth

Posted on 2021/11/16 - 2021/11/16 by thx1138

It can be said, for me at least, that sampling, looping and re-assembling both found materials and site specific sounds selected for precision of relevance to thee message implications of a piece of music or a transmedia exploration, is an alchemical, even a magical phenomenon. No matter how short, or apparently unrecognizable a “sample” might be in linear time perception, I believe it must, inevitably, contain within it (and accessible through it), the sum total of absolutely everything its original context represented, communicated, or touched in any way; on top of this it must implicitly also include the sum total of every individual in any way connected with its introduction and construction within the original (host) culture, and every subsequent (mutated or engineered) culture it in any way, means or form, has contact with forever (in Past, Present, Future and Quantum time zones).

“Any two particles that have once been in contact will continue to act as though they are informationally connected regardless of their separation in space and time.”
– Bell’s Theorem

Halloween horror/sci-fi soundtracks selecta, 100% vinyl records

Halloween viene collegata alla festa celtica di Samhain, originariamente scritto Samuin in gaelico, stagionalmente speculare alla notte di Valpurga che ricorre tra il 30 aprile e il 1º maggio. Il nome della festività, mantenuto storicamente dai Gaeli e dai Celti nell’arcipelago britannico, deriva dall’antico irlandese e significa approssimativamente “fine dell’estate”.

Burp Video Rarities 26/2/1993 + YT playlist

Posted on 2021/10/07 - 2021/10/07 by thx1138

“february 93, pre youtube era.

At that time Burp Enterprise organised regular happenings that besides concerts and dj sets often included magazine and book presentations, live drawing projected on big screens, live comix and projections of various material. On the occasion of a big party with concerts by Dum Dum Power and Erasermen Roberta WJM curated this selection of then very rare material through her secret connections. Much of the material, which would only be officially published later, was impossible to find except through strictly personal channels. The live in Cannes of the Magic Band playing on the Blossom Toes system is one example of all.

Over the years the collection grew and expanded so much so that in this flyer from a couple of years later, for a Drop Out Radio Show party at the Flog auditorium, her selection of rare footage is presented as the VoodoHoodoo Fleshfilms Collection.

Thanks WJM for the diffusion, the knowledge and the remixing. And the valuable work of reconstructing paths of continuity of the counterculture that has informed and given direction to the activities of Burp Enterprise.

Meatball we love you.”

The Upsetter – RIP Lee Perry

Posted on 2021/10/02 by thx1138

It was only four tracks on the machine, but I was picking up twenty from the extra terrestrial squad.

When I left school there was nothing to do except field work. Hard, hard labour. I didn’t fancy that. So I started playing dominoes. Through dominoes I learned to read the minds of others. This has proved eternally useful to me.

God is black. The black record plastic can prove that to you! Look at the sun when it casts a shadow. That’s the spirit. The spirit is black.

I am the internet and I am the winternet. And they don’t see nothing yet!

Lee Perry

CCM # 23: Reflecting Translation of Desire

Posted on 2021/10/02 - 2021/10/02 by thx1138

complex cognitive material’s last episode (# 23) is now online here on fangoradio website:

Reflecting Translation of Desire

“Si racconta che Domenico Scarlatti abbia preso per tema di una sua fuga il motivo composto dal suo gatto che camminava sul clavicembalo; anche se in questo caso occorrerebbe parlare di fortuito dell’azione piuttosto che di aleatorio della struttura del ritmo. E nessuno può escludere che Henry Bergson ignorasse questo episodio quando ha osservato che gli effetti del caso si notano soprattutto quando questo «si comporta come se avesse una intenzionalità».
Quando si usa il termine «caso» non facciamo altro che esprimere una mancanza di informazioni esplicative che, qualora fossero disponibili, renderebbero prevedibile l’evento, sottraendolo alla indeterminatezza del fortuito e riconsegnandolo alla certezza dell’inevitabilmente necessario.”

Berlinghiero Buonarroti. “Encyclopaedia Heterologica”

“Domenico Scarlatti is said to have taken as the theme of one of his fugues the motif composed by his cat walking on the harpsichord; although in this case it would be necessary to speak of the fortuitous action rather than the randomness of the rhythm structure. And no one can rule out that Henry Bergson ignored this episode when he observed that the effects of the case are most noticeable when it “behaves as if it had intentionality.”
When we use the term “random” we do nothing but express a lack of explanatory information which, if available, would make the event predictable, removing it from the indeterminacy of the fortuitous and returning it to the certainty of the inevitably necessary.”

Berlinghiero Buonarroti. “Encyclopaedia Heterologica”
