“‘Prism House Complete Percussion Vol. I<\/a>‘\u00a0is a compilation of 320 found sound samples gathered from field recordings made exclusively in New York City”. It works\u00a0well (The\u00a0music the band makes is sentimental).\u00a0Sounds of the Junk Yard<\/a> (1964)\u00a0Michael Siegel is a better\u00a0reference for sound of work! My favorite is\u00a0\u00a0“Alligator Shear” (201). Siegel’s Sounds of the Office<\/a>\u00a0is a classic (Perhaps it inspired the PO-24<\/a>?).<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if\u00a0SOW: Blacksmith ed1 is offering anything new to the\u00a0continuum of groove oriented musique concrete. I guess the publications openness (direct availability through archive.org \/ freesound) is it’s best merit. But there are so many great free sample packs already out there that it’s impossible\u00a0to stand out. I’ve been bragging that SOW is a\u00a0True-Marxist sound publication: It is NOT a representation of labor or a glorification\u00a0of the\u00a0labor force \u2013 It is a tool (Which can be used to\u00a0to make techno). The grooves of the machines can be yielded\u00a0to\u00a0move our\u00a0semi-unemployed bodies struggling through\u00a0post-industrial landscapes.<\/p>\n

The idea that techno is the music of the working class was announced by Jori Hulkkonen in 2011. I got to interview him during\u00a0Kotimaan teknokatsaus vol 3<\/a>\u00a0(16:41). Similar views\u00a0are present in\u00a0Jeremy Deller’s\u00a0Acid Brass project<\/a>. In 2011 Hulkkonen described techno as a “Human soul with the frame of the machine”. He talked\u00a0about Detroit and how the cities empty industrial spaces were appropriate for social gatherings. Abandoned\u00a0factories filled with bodies moving to the rhythm of machine\u00a0made music. He believed that Kemi’s development as a city forged\u00a0him into the artist he is today.\u00a0After factories were closed and parents were unemployed, their children occupied the factory facilities, filled them with mechanical sounds and developed new\u00a0cultural expressions (and industries). Techno served as\u00a0a gateway for learning how to work with computers, to organize gatherings and to work creatively. It was born from\u00a0necessity.<\/p>\n

The response for SOW has been ok. People have celebrated the release on Reddit. Apparently “Industrial sounds are so hot right now<\/a>” and the Novation Circuit tailored .syx has is well received (52 likes<\/a>). Also got in touch with Petri Kuljuntausta who invited me to host an exhibition at\u00a0Akusmata sound art gallery<\/a> in the summer. I’m moving steadily into towards sound arts. The transition\u00a0of migrating from performance art to post-marxist sound art\u00a0has taken two years and a little under 800\u20ac in gear investment.\u00a0I\u00a0regret that we didn’t explore the sonic possibilities of Jesses forge in more detail. The sounds are pretty straightforward. I guess I should apply funding for ed.2? I could ask Hulkkonen etc. to produce songs from the sounds too.<\/p>\n

Interesting audio slicer, loopers and scratch emulators as VST: kammerl.de\/audio\/<\/a>.\u00a0Beat-Repeat Effect<\/a> is also available for
\nMutable Instrument’s Clouds.<\/p>\n
