Releases and events
Mimeograph Recordings is releasing documentation for two shows I curated in Seattle. Following are the press releases:
Threshold of hearing/
Threshold of pain 4-disc CD-R set
This four-disc set documents two group shows that happened at Seattle’s late, lamented Polestar Music Gallery.
The theme of 2002’s Threshold of hearing show was live, minimal, quiet electronic sound works. The pieces on 2003’s Threshold of pain are done by the same artists. They are live, electronic, minimal in form, but in contrast very loud.
The works vary widely: glitchy computer-generated textures, sparse pure electronic soundscapes, and delicate electro-acoustic pieces are all featured.
The featured artists are Steve Barsotti, Mateo Chavez, Jake Elliott, inBOIL, Vance Galloway, Model 563, and watfiv. Alex Keller curated the shows and prepared this CD release.
This set is uniquely packaged in a clear four-disc jewel box and wrapped in a vellum band.
SST: Surround Sound Transmissions
DVD-R Video disc
Surround Sound Transmissions, a DVD-Video disc that will play on any device that plays DVD-R discs, is one of the very few electronic/ electro-acoustic albums to be released in full surround sound. It documents a 2002 group show at Seattle’s late, lamented Polestar Music Gallery.
The artists use the surround medium in surprising, innovative ways. A few pieces separate sounds in all channels; a few use subtly different sounds to unusual effect. The sound sources include a party, insects, gritty electronics and digitally processed sound.
The featured artists are Steve Barsotti, Christopher DeLaurenti, Vance Galloway, inBOIL, Intonarumori, Alex Keller, Ben Larson, Eric Ostrowski, TCOR, and Kelli Wise. Alex Keller curated the show and prepared this CD release.
