Photo: Luc Vanhouke Every month in 2012 we are recording a soundtrack at 12 different locations in the Westhoek, Belgium, where we live. We tried to find 12 places which have a meaning for us. Those places, sometimes are filled with history, sometimes with magick, have influenced us, losing or ego and creating sounds melting with the environment. We are 6 months away; half W12. JUNI12 has been recorded at 'Farms Hospital', between Vlamertinge and Elverdinge. It is an historical place with ancient history of death and war - Yves' playground when he was young, a place druids, a gathering point of nature sourced by its sounds of trees and birds. The sound was made by fieldrecordings, french horn, violin, ancient bassdrum and manipulations. ) NOTHING IS TRUE / EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED (

Photo: Daniel Menche Live Performance on April 21st, 2012 at the YU Contemporary Art Center located in Portland, Oregon USA. This concert was a two hour non-stop performance and this recording only captured an hour and fifteen minutes due to a recording failing. The amplifiers also blew out at the end. The room in which this concert was performed was the size of a city block (68,000 ft/20726 m) and had enormous room acoustics with considerable natural reverberations. Maximum volume was used, for 120 bodies were present to absorb this 120 minute sonic mass. "Boredom is tuneless matter. Tears are music in material form." (E.M. Cioran)

The resurgence of vinyl in recent years is a phenomenon which has not gone unnoticed; as CD declines sharply, its audio limitations exposed not only by advances in other technologies, but also by the myths propagated at the inception of digital exposed, so artists explore and demand other formats to express their work. Although a business model is still some way off the traditional artist label distribution shop paradigm, it is clear this is being radically overhauled and replaced by online sales platforms set up by the artists themselves. But vinyl seems to have escaped this process, and continues to grow. Why is that? Recorded by Philip Marshall from desk to hard drive.

Volume five in an ongoing series. Self-assembled and reversed in February 2012. Photography: Heitor Alvelos Why not pay a humble tribute to the golden age of backmasking? Once upon a time, radio DJs would go up in flames accusing pop records of containing satanic messages woven backwards onto the groove. These would then supposedly make their way onto your teenage subconscious, and from its depths command you to do very bad things. Echoes of the Altamont and Manson traumas aside, it was all a bit naive when compared to the magnitude of the very shady side of the entertainment industry nowadays, where worthwhile pop music once again becomes demonised: the recent, heavy policy proposals against online piracy, the terrorist-like shutdown of megaupload, the steamroller-like production-line of prime-time karaoke, the pervasive disgust of auto-tuning, the endless parade of cute iGadgets valiantly ignoring the abyss of over-consumption and worldwide economic meltdown. Hubris, Icarus, Tower of Babel... Some say t

6AM - Moonsickness - Nobah Sahibs - Deadend - Nachtmeer - Is - 23.2 "The Home Recordings is the extension on the recordings that were made in 2008 in Norway. Being there with no instruments and no source but water to create sound, I was very limited. Returning home, the place you love and when you stay too long, you hate, became the source of these recordings. Everyday you hear something that changes your mood, but sometimes they can be very difficult to record. This can be the cause of different, unwelcome sounds, as you think they are. so I started to record the sounds outside my front door from 04hr. in the morning till 07hr. Mixing everything at home in some kind of dark way, not opening the sound up... I used an Emulator Emax 1 because of it's simple sampling sound. all other instruments are acousticly recorded." there is no limit on sound, only we as source.
