Maybe its the heatwave we're having in London, but once more Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, the busiest man in pop, has given us a box of CDs to give out to you boys and girls absolutely free whenever you purchase a release from his Bette listings.
The giveaway in question is 'NightJam' a two track CD collaboration between Scanner and young people who have been homeless in London.
"In early Summer 2006, Scanner invited young people at New Horizon Youth Centre in London's King's Cross to collaborate on a creative project that expresses how the city at night looks and sounds to their eyes and ears.
Through music and voice the group explored the sense of freedom and fear, exhilaration and solitude of the concealing darkness. Between sessions, they captured their nights on camera. NightJam presents two elusive visual and musical journeys through the city’s ‘quiet’ hours.
NightJam is a new commission for Artangel Interaction's Nights of London series of artist-led collaborations exploring the nocturnal metropolis with the people who wake, work or watch over it."
For more information, pictures and music go to www.artangel.org.uk or www.nightjam.org.uk
PostEverything has a limited number of copies of the resulting CD to give away free to anyone buying Scanner releases. The CD has two tracks, 'Sleepless City' and 'S'alright'. Strictly one CD per order and when their gone their gone. So get going...

Review 7 of 10
July/August 2006
The Death of Frequent Flyer
Chicago is killing em! The latest to affirm this belief is female heavy spitter Psalm One; a mildly toned lyricist who hits from all angles with the combination of punch lines, wit, honesty and versatility. Rapping since 98, she isnt an overnight success, and with her Rhymesayers debut The Death of Frequent Flyer (huh?) all the pieces are in place to make a big impact in 2006. Blessed with exceptionally buttery production, Psalm makes the best of something good with 14 tracks of head-nodding and thought-stimulating hip-hop. With a strong emphasis on the lyrics, tracks like The Nine stand out thanks to her talent for autobiographical storytelling, while Let Me Hear hits on the subtle dark tip, and Sworn Habit showcases the rawness and originality that bubble within. Each track seemingly fits into place with no bullshit fillers, making it obvious that this is an album from the heart.

Rumraket and Erik Levander need your help...
Erik Levander, the latest signing to Efterklang's Rumraket label, was looking forward to the release of his second full length album... unfortunately disaster struck and the album has been delayed due to a severe hard-disc crash, causing the loss of a whole years' work. Neither Erik nor Rumraket can afford the disc recovery, the cost being a princely 1200 Euros, but you may be able to help Erik finish his album by making a donation so Rumraket can recover the lost material from the broken drive.
Go on... Donate some money, so this friendly Swede can finish his detailed, partly insane and beautifully weaved together, splash of electronica, melodic glitch and noise music. Rumraket are asking all lovers of eccentric beauty to lend a hand - All donations over 14 Euros will be rewarded with a signed version of the album when it's released, and the donators' names will also be mentioned in the album artwork. But all donations, no matter how small, are welcome. To make a donation visit www.rumraket.net/erik-donation
You can visit and listen to Erik at www.myspace.com/levander.
A message from Erik:
Hey! Hey! Can U Donate?
Probably, it won't save any of the big problems of planet Earth, but would help a poor artist to recover lots of work for his second official full length album.
Before moving to Berlin I thought it would be a great idea to buy a back up hard drive for storing all tons of gigabytes of music data. Slowly I got enchanted by the light, floaty feeling of free local hard drive space, and I trusted my backup-drive so much that it became my only place of storage. Not more then a year after the backup entered my life it suffered from a major head crash. It died, and with it, all it contained and stood for!
Now, the small hope for resque lies in the engineers and their clean laboratories. And they want money a poor student cannot pay. I therefore beg for help...
Erik

Scooterworks UK, in collaboration with Not Applicable presents:
THE ASYMMETRY OF THREE
new collaborations in improvised music
Wednesday 19 July 2006
7:30 pm - entry £5, includes a drink
(Kir and Pastisse will be served with an appetizer)
at Scootworks UK, 132 Lower Marsh SE1
tel 020 7620 1421
tube: Waterloo
Isambard Khroustaliov – feed-back/feed-forward electronics
Maurizio Ravalico – percussion, found objects
Lothar Ohlmeier – bass clarinet
On the evening of the 19/7 will be presented the two last collaborations of Isambard Khroustaliov (aka Sam Britton, from laptop duo Icarus), with percussionist Maurizio Ravalico and German reeds player Lothar Ohlmeier. Both duos have recently recorded an album, planned to be released later this year on the independent label Not Applicable. This is their first official appearance in London.
Ring Scooterworks on 020 7620 1421 to reserve your seat.
The music is mostly improvised, and predominantly concrete in the use of the instrumentation. No regular beat or metric recurrence are likely to come out of Isambard’s laptop, or Maurizio’s fine selection of found objects. Isambard’s contribution to the sound construction is non-generative. He doesn't produce any sound of his own with the laptop but picks up, instead, the sound created by the acoustic instruments, processes it in real time (mainly using Max/MSP software) and plays it back to the musician as a mode of improvisation.
The acoustic instruments are not amplified, and Isambard’s speakers are placed very close to the performing musician. An area, both physical and sonic, is created in this way, within which the two performers work at generating one single and undivided sound output. No one is accompanying anybody else; both performers occupy the same sound zone, and are, under all perspectives, playing one single four-handed mega-instrument.

Now we've got over the excitement of playing at Somerset House, there are a few things happening round our way:
This Friday 14th July our very own Nancy Wallace will be be doing a completely solo set at Filthy McNasty's in London Town. It's free to get in and you can listen to some of her fine tunes here.
Then on the morning of Sunday 16th July there is a special event at The Latitude Festival where I will be dusting down the live soundtrack that I devised for The Wicker Man film that was first performed a few years ago at The ICA. I will be joined by Rob from the band and special guests Adem, Lisa Knapp and Hannah Coughlin from the Bicycle Thieves. The show will be a strange mixture of remixed bits, songs from the film sung live, the odd Memory Band/Gorodisch piece and new music specially composed for this event. It should be a blast.
The weekend after The Memory Band will be heading down to the Port Eliot Literary Festival in Cornwall, England where we will be playing on a bill organised by the lovely folk at Roots & Shoots.
On our MySpace page we have made available to download the fabulous Four Tet remix of "Come Write Me Down", there are no plans to release this just yet so get it while you can!
Lastly, our new label Peacefrog now have a myspace page and have put up Nancy & Jennymay's version of the Carly Simon classic "Why" which will be on our first single for the label (details soon!) and also on our album "Apron Strings", so go get a sneak preview at www.myspace.com/peacefrogrecords
happy listening!
all the best

Hi there,
Another missive after a very long absence.
In the Solitude of Cotton Fields
I've just finished composing and recording the music for a production of In the Solitude of Cotton Fields, by French playwright Bernard-Marie Koltés. It opens at the Battersea Arts Centre on July 25th and runs until August 6th. Capacity is very limited and its expected to sell out. If you get in early (before July 18th) tickets are cheaper too. It's being directed by Harun Morrison who was runner up in the JMK directors awards and is using the prize money from that towards this production. It should be rather excellent so if you're London, get in.
tickets: www.bac.org.uk
about the music: The music composed for in the Solitude of Cotton Fields uses a selection of tones/frequencies played via computer, recorded and then re-organised into never repeating slowly changing patterns - a shifting stasis without beginning or end - separate from conventional notions of time. The music plays from behind the dealer, from an after-world of his domain. As such, it is ongoing and independent of the interactions on stage. There is no narrative development. Tone clusters come together and fall apart of their own accord. Chords and melodic cells shift alignment and form by chance.
check the flyer: www.sonic-arts.co.uk
Three Sides of Sadness
My new EP is now available from Simon and Simon at Fourier Transform for a reasonable £8. Thanks to those of you who've already picked up a copy. The FT website now has pictures of the boxes online for you to take a peek at, and damn if they don't look mighty fine. Thanks again to Marcus Cope for his hard work in organising the paintings and thanks to John Parker & Matt Nicholson for playing on it. If you want one, please get in touch with FT direct. Ta.
::room40::
::room40:: keeps on going from strength to strength. Mise en Scene by Lloyd Barrett is now out in the UK and will be followed shortly by Greg Davis & Jeph Jerman's Ku. Ku is a gorgeous exploration of pure sound using natural objects (sticks, leaves etc) with minimal processing from Greg. I did the graphic design for for this using bits and pieces from our garden. Can't wait to see the finished copies. Lawrence assures me they look great.
The lathe cut 7" split between me and Function is now back from Peter King's in New Zealand. But I've been too busy to get the covers sorted. We've got some ideas, but need time to put it together and make it as special as possible. Realistically expect it ready in September as Carina and I are off to Sweden on Wednesday for three weeks holiday. Promise it'll be worth the wait.
Mise en Scene
Ku
Split 7"
For those more digitally inclined, ::room40:: titles should be available from bleep.com and emusic.com in the near future. You can also stream a few different releases, including my first album on Last.fm at www.last.fm/label/room40
Frequenzen
Frequenzen goes out every monday night on Resonance 104.4FM (London) or online via www.resonancefm.com every Monday night from 10.30-11.30pm UK time. Electronic composition, electro-acoustic improv, ecstatic drone and digitalia on yr radio. I present the show alternating weeks with Mr Alexander Wendt. www.frequenzen.co.uk for old playlists etc...
----
OK. That's it from me for the minute. Bring on summer in Sweden.
Hope you are well in your parts of the world.
Best,
John.

Hello there!
Wow, it's finally cool enough now to get back on the computer and finish up this newsletter!
First off, a quick mention for Sonar - Barcelona is the shizniz and a good time was had by all. We actually didn't hang out at Sonar that often, with our own rooftop and choice of music selection to tempt us away, but we saw a few awesome bands such as Richard Chartier's DJ set (even if it was too quiet to actually hear most of the time - I can imagine it was just extreme lowercase!), Liars did an awesome set to almost but not quite top last year's Battles' performance in the lower deck. Otto Von Schirach was the absolute bomb, like a Floridian/hispanic version of Gold Chains but with way more extreme electro booty-rock going on. On the Saturday evening we took ourselves away from the masses and went to check out a squat party being hosted by DJrupture, with himself, Filastine and Shitmat playing. What an evening, in an amazing half indoor/half out-door semi-demolished warehouse space, just a million miles away from the cramped and trendy basements of London. Sunday evening's partying was topped off by the Kompakt beach party, but in actual fact there were three soundsystems on the beach within a minutes walk of each other, all playing similar music, so we had no idea which sound-system we were at! You can check some pictures up at flickr.com.
Right then!
Release-wise, the Like A Stuntman, Izu, and Fisk Industries have been doing well and recieving lots of airplay and reviews, including some Breeze Block action on Radio1.
We have a few new ones at the pressing plant at the moment - the Mandelbrot Set is being pressed as we speak and we should have it back here in the office in about a week, and the Marshall Watson release has just been sent off. Expect them both up on our mailorder store at PostEverything.com in the next few weeks and in regular music stores in around two months time. Right behind them we'll be sending off the debut Marcia Blaine School For Girls album (we know yer excited for that one!!) and our first official release from our favorite Hungarian troublemaker - Tigrics! I expect that might take us up to the end of this year. We're working on a few extra bits and pieces, not proper CD releases but rather exclusive little svelte digital numbers, we'll keep you up to date on.. (I hope yer all now subscribed to the RSS feed for more regular updates than this?)
A quick aside, while talking about Marcia Blaine material - Accrual, one of the Marcia side-projects have just released a album on Unlabel, a limited run of 100 CDRs, which you can pick up at http://www.unlabel.net
Quite a few shows coming up this month - randomNumber playing in Bolton this coming friday; If you're up in Glasgow you can catch The Village Orchestra and Production Unit playing at the Number 3rd birthday party on the 7th also. I'll be out DJing at the Macbeth pub on the 19th in support of Romvelope and a few other Adaadat acts. Then a biggie show on the 22nd of July in Newcastle - Izu live, supporting Sleeparchive, with Marcia Blaine School For Girls DJing.
You can find a wee interview and label profile over at igloomag.com
thanks!

Cutting Pink With Knives - Oh Wow!
July 10th sees the amazing album release on Adaadat from Anglo-Franco-American noisecore group Cutting Pink With Knives!
"The sound of grindcore and noise fighting over a girl, with some terrible synth-pop band soundtracking the whole thing. Like in a really bad brat pack film, as if the cast of the Breakfast Club was actually the members of Siege and Scum-era Napalm Death."
Be afraid.

Triosk have recorded a session for ABC Radio National’s Sound Quality show. 2 tracks from The Headlight Serenade (One, Twenty-Four and Lazyboat) and 2 completely new compositions feature in the radio programme, which can be downloaded in mp3 format from the Sound Quality site. Be quick though, as the broadcast is only up for a limited time...

Mads Brauer and Casper Clausen from Efterklang have scored a new Danish animation film entitled ‘Princess’ that recently premiered in Danish cinemas. The film is directed by Anders Morgenthaler and was chosen in May to open the prestigious Directors' Fortnight/Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at the Cannes Film Festival. The band are currently recording their second album, for release in early 2007.

G'Day Sports!
As football unites much of the world, I'm over in Australia working on a project far removed from this global phenomenon. I'm facilitating a research and development laboratory for Australian artists in Brisbane, entitled Time_Place_Space. It's a playful and challenging way to development personal strategies to explore a new performative language, as well as a chance to take advantage of a weak dollar and enjoy the delights of a winter that records 19 degrees centigrade as a low temperature!
Landing here at the tiny International Airport was most entertaining too, as I bumped into popular British beat combo Coldplay who were here to play some live shows, and we shared the pleasure of customs and excise together, though only Chris Martin had the pleasure of having his luggage opened up and personally examined, clearly by a fervid AC/DC fan.
The coming months are certainly a time for me to live out of a suitcase, with journeys across the globe, to warmer climates and unusual remote locations. Off to Amsterdam to perform 'Blindscape' with TeZ, to Berlin for the Sonambiente Festival, which will almost close off the World Cup Football with my '52 Spaces' performance and then upstate in New York to appear at Spectral Garden, at the invitation of free103point9. I'll be performing the premiere of a new work, '24/48', the result of my Residency there over the previous weeks, in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Alongside Nicolas Collins and Matthew Burtner I’ll be presenting physical and ephemeral work in the delightful meadows, sunshine valleys, and everyone is welcome to join us on 29 July at Wave Farm, for an experimental outdoor picnic. www.free103point9.org
Anyone allergic to the countryside yet in the vague locality might be interested in a show at Project Issue Room in Brooklyn around the same time, where I’m presenting work as part of the 'Points in a Circule' month of site-specific works using these very special hemisphere speakers – that’s sixteen point-source emanation loudspeakers, and the "circle" is the round, concrete-walled room that is IPR's performance space. Should be grand.
'Occasional Offices of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer', my collaborative work with Roger Ellsgood was broadcast on the BBC radio in June, to great acclaim and chosen as pick of the week in countless newspapers. It’ll soon be available digitally on iTunes as well as a special edition CD publication. It features some of the most beautiful passages of seventeenth century English from Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer which was the handbook of the pre-20th century Anglican Church.
The Occasional Offices are instructions, exhortations as to how to live a God-fearing life and thereby attain release from the 'wretchedness of this world into the everlasting joy of the Kingdom of Heaven'. The awe and wonder of Cranmer's words filled generations of Christians with the fear of God: it is what they were designed to do. The work itself features a succession of passages from the Occasional Offices: the Thanksgiving of Women after Child-birth, the Solemnization of Matrimony, the Visitation of the Sick, the Burial of The Dead and the Baptism of Infants. These texts were delivered by the Reverend Dr. Peter Mullen in services and celebrations in the Church of St. Michael’s Cornhill, a bastion of the King James Bible and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer in the City of London, and edited into a soundscape I composed for this work.
Speaking of new releases, my new 12” vinyl only single on Bine Music entitled Teenage Wochen is now available through PostEverything.com and will also shortly be available on iTunes. With airplay on national pop radio across Europe and described recently as: "electro music with a jumpy rhythm, guitar and a very joyous melody line. A great up-tempo tune that has the word 'summer' stamped all over", it’s enough to cheer up even the most sour of souls.
An exclusive work now available at iTunes is the complete Qualia soundtrack, a work I composed for Wayne McGregor's Royal Ballet debut in London. It’s a 30-minute micro adventure, moving through high-spirited burnt out rhythms and giddily suffused melodies. It was recently performed at the Royal Opera House in London to compliment their 75th birthday celebrations, and I’m assured it perked up the hairs on even the elderly ballet ladies.
And for anyone still trying to save their pennies, tune into the MP3 page at my website for some additional free downloads of two works I performed recently at Tate Modern in London as part of the John Cage Musicircus day.
Night Haunts continues with Sewers this month, entering the harsher bowels of the city, a place where night and day are interchangeable. It’s an especially grimy edition exploring the shuffling figures who wade through London’s waste and ensure our systems remain fluid. A suitably subterranean soundtrack mirrors these movements.
My collaboration with young people at New Horizon Youth Centre in King’s Cross is launched this month too, with a creative project that expresses how the city at night looks and sounds to their ears and eyes. Through music and voice workshops they explored the sense of freedom and fear, celebration and solitude of the concealing darkness, and captured their nights on disposable cameras, taking images that are at times eerie, startling, contemplative and funny. NightJam will present two elusive visual and musical journeys through the city’s ‘quiet’ hours and be freely available on CD from 20 July. www.nightjam.org.uk
So, time to feed my pet kangaroo outside and go for a walk close to the desert.
Until next month
Best wishes
Robin Rimbaud

Night Haunts
By Sukhdev Sandhu
Design: Mind Unit
Sound Design: Scanner
04 February 2006 - 04 February 2007
Artangel Interaction invited writer and historian Sukhdev Sandhu to write a nocturnal journal unfolding over the course of 2006. His postings will appear sequentially at this microsite specially designed by Mind Unit. Sandhu's forays see him prospecting in the London night with the people who drive its pulse, from the avian police to security guards, zookeepers and exorcists. Acclaimed artist and musician Scanner has collaborated with Sukhdev and Ian Budden of Mind Unit to compose the sound for the site. If you would like to be kept informed as each episode is posted, join artangel's mailing list by clicking here.
