Depois de ZVUK, Sergey Misyureff (To4ka.Dna) regressa com nova uma saída na Constanta, netlabel oriunda da cidade russa de Perm, nos Urais. AUGUST retoma o mesmo ambiente de serenidade electroacústica de ZVUK, criado com computador, saxofone, trompete, guitarra e piano. «Sound art, beauty of silence, gentle rustle and no fuss, but this music moves, it makes you follow it. Not a project, but a person and the way it sounds».

Dear Friends,
Thank You All for your notes and your energy of support in response to the critical news. This page has been created to keep you up to date:

The beautiful news is that a number of potential donors have stepped forward; deepest blessings. The first is in the process of being screened toward potential transplant surgery. Medicare policy (David's principal insurance) is rather evidently that only one donor at a time may be screened. It is both David and this donor's hope that all may move toward this transplant. The screening process takes time as has been made apparent. David is in stable condition and continuing peritoneal dialysis at home. His spirits have been brightened in the past week and a half by all of your responsive energy, and we remain optimistic. When the time comes, we will send out a notice in response to the many inquiries we've had for donations toward further direct support.
AGAIN: To All who have extended their positive energy and prayers and love to David in response to the call, Thank You. To more good news soon! And once again, please do forward this notice and webpage link:

to all who we haven't yet reached with it.

Translations Of Opacity - For Michelangelo Antonioni [and.p33]
«This is an online companion project for the upcoming Antonioni double CD release entitled "Michelangelo Antonioni - Trilogy And Epilogue" (and/34), and is intended to serve as a general homage. The works featured on this project were solicited via public invitation. The artists were given free license to create work inspired by the late great film director, however out of all the submissions sent, only the ones featured here were chosen. Both the CD and online projects were planned and initiated (in June, 2007) three months before his passing in September of the same year, thereby making the launching of both projects all the more timely and poignant...
Even though the courtesy of giving people a chance to download and listen to each track is given, it is highly suggested that the entire release be downloaded and listened to in its proper order, so that the intended flow can be experienced».
Tenho andado na companhia auricular do italiano Luca Mauri, músico conhecido de alguns pelo trabalho como guitarrista nos grupos I/O e Two Dead Bodies, que em data recente se abalançou em estreia à aventura a solo com um disco suculento, editado na portuguesa Creative Sources Recordings. Between Love and Hate, o veículo de que falo, junta cinco peças de improvisação que elaboram a partir de drones minimalistas de cariz electroacústico, e fomentam atmosferas de lento acumular. Variações limpas de artifícios e despropósitos de um bom gosto que é raro ouvir-se. Música eminentemente nocturna e intimista, favorece a excursão pelos labirintos emocionais do ouvinte. Luca Mauri – guitarra eléctrica e efeitos. Gravação e mistura entre Janeiro e Abril de 2008. #1 a quiet storm; #2 decline of a beautiful face; #3 pulse/loop; #4 choke; #5 all that remains.Diissc Orchestra - D.O. [ca205] // «Soon after its founding in 2008, the DIISSC Orchestra has been invited to play at all major Lithuanian contemporary music festivals. The Orchestra's unique architecture -- five composers -- enables it to to play their own compositions and that of world-reknowned composers, produce live videos, present compositions involving a variety of disc players, stopwatches, special graphic scores, and low-tech devices. No laptop supremacy, no meaningful staring at a monitor. Performers perform! The DIISSC Orchestra presents contemporary music as an engaging sonic adventure with unforseen outcomes on stage. They make you feel as though you're listening to contemporary electronic music in a rock concert atmosphere» - Clinical Archives.
O projecto é reeditar as gravações que Thomas Chapin (1957-1998) realizou para a Knitting Factory, entre 1990 e 1996. Alive, originalmente publicado em Novembro de 1999, homenageia a memória do saxofonista alto e flautista ao reunir todo o material que Chapin gravou, incluindo um concerto até então inédito, gravado na edição de 1995 do JVC-Newport Jazz Festival. Thomas Chapin, com Mario Pavone e Michael Sarin (Steve Johns em dois dos oito discos) e ainda Al Bryant, Mark Feldman, Curtis Fowlkes, Kiyoto Fujiwara, Frank London, Peter McEachern, Boris Rayskin, Marcus Rojas e Raymond Stewart.
«Listening to Thomas Chapin's seven trio CDs in the wake of his untimely death only drives home further the loss the jazz world suffered when he succumbed to cancer in 1998. Chapin's discography extends beyond the seven albums he and his trio released in the 1990s, but he never sounded more complete and rounded than when with his trio mates - bassist Mario Pavone and drummers Steve Johns and, for most sessions, Michael Sarin. Chapin's searing, rapid-fire solos and intricate melodies begged for a bassist that could match his stair-climb sprints and steep descents, and Pavone did so at all times. With Alive, you get the best tribute imaginable: a complete set of Chapin's Knitting Factory CDs along with a previously unreleased 1995 live session. From his trio debut, Anima, to the last studio album, Sky Piece, the band seems aimed at a group concept that's well defined and intensely creative. Chapin plays with a formal sense and tunefulness that owes tons to Sonny Rollins. Riffs build into minisolos, and rhythmic breaks become melodies, almost without the ear noticing. Chapin's group concept was expandable, too, which shows on Insomnia - with its five added brass players - and Haywire - with its three added string players. Where Insomnia milks the brass for thick funk, Haywire spins waltzes and string textures that emphasize a completely different realm of sonic nuance. The final CD of the set catches the trio live at the 1995 JVC-Newport Jazz Festival, and they play the complex tunes letter perfectly, with Sarin drumming especially hard and Chapin roughing up his tone far more than usual. At different times, he plays with the bittersweet bite of Eric Dolphy and the drive of Hank Crawford. He made it all an amazingly fluid continuum». - Andrew Bartlett
Deram-no como acabado e o mais que se leu e ouviu sobre o apagamento da chama de David S. Ware, mas tudo não passava de exagero, pois o saxofonista tenor norte-americano aí está com um renovado quarteto e um disco a sair dentro de dias. Shakti, gravado em estúdio, é o primeiro que lança depois de extinto o David S. Ware Quartet, marca que atravessou toda a década de 90 e parte desta, de que Renunciation foi o epílogo. Em Julho de 2007, as conversações com o guitarrista Joe Morris chegaram a bom termo, e a estreia no Iridium de Nova Iorque augurou o melhor, já que William Parker (contrabaixo) e Warren Smith (bateria)estavam envolvidos no desnho e concepção deste novo projecto encabeçado por David Spencer Ware. Veio a primeira digressão no final daquele ano e a sessão de estúdio a meio de 2008, pronta a vir para a rua. Shakti, novo disco de David S. Ware na AUM Fidelity (AUM052). Sai a 27 de Janeiro.

AMM, Trinity: depois de anos de silêncio, eis que surge uma nova saída da formação britânica de improvisação electroacústica na Matchless Recordings. Trinity, gravado ao vivo no Trinity College of Music, em Greenwich, Reino Unido, há um ano, em 13 de Janeiro de 2008, apresenta a mais recente reformulação do longevo trio AMM, nascido em 1965, agora com Eddie Prévost (bateria e percussão), John Butcher (saxofones tenor e soprano) e John Tilbury (piano). «The tiniest sound is amplified by intention. Other noises are transformed into counterpoint. The music begins. Tentative suggestions are offered, politely ignored, admonished or not noticed. Serendipitous slips of the wrist are canonised -- pursued by conflagrations and spectacular shell bursts. Momentum is achieved. The music has an energy with which the musicians can wrestle, deflecting its trajectory or being thrown inconsequentially aside. Tempo defied temporality. Logic limps away. As suddenly as the turbulence arose it subsides, hovering portentously, unpredictable and uncontrollable in all those ways a serialist doesn't trust. The musician waits, trying to anticipate and out-think the unthinking but thinkable direction the sounds will take. Construction overtakes the constructionist, who can only nod approvingly as the piers and girders of musical form slot automatically into place. Here is the invisible handshake, enjoined before a motion was ever formulated. The music makes itself -- just as man makes himself. Here are volition, intention, determination tempered by acceptance of eventuality. Here is definition by action. I am what I am because I do what I do, acted upon and acting upon. The sound returns. The contra-bass drum resounds, its deep vibration sympathising with the solar-plexus. The echo grows weaker and richer at the same time, as its lingering residue settles into the crevices of perception. The drummer raises the beater; then slowly and with conscious care withdraws the intention. No more sound is need».- Eddie Prévost
