Tobias Fischer from Tokafi just published a “15 questions” to Kraig Grady, with a nice introduction to his release on ini.itu; a full review should follow.

On Furthernoise, we have Roger Mills reviewing the Anaphoria and the López LPs, with some wonderful words about ini.itu :

“Think of field trips to Java or the 1895 Exposition Universelles organised by Colin McPhee, Henry Cowell or Claude Debussy with Harry Parch and Pierre Schaeffer in tow, and you will be somewhere in the ball park of where this unique label is.”

Thanks to Jeroen de Wandel for playing Twinkle³ in one of his shows.

You can listen to them online – very tasty !

The end of last year ( 2009 in case you didnt remember ) is still here, with Gregg Wager featuring Anaphoria in his best-of the year :

Check it out on Perfect Sound Forever website.

This morning, francisco lópez’s “untitled #228″ suddenly appeared on the so-called www.legalsounds.com from Russia

of course it WASNT, and upon asking, it was kindly removed. Should i say thanks ?

They were asking 0.9€ for the download.

…

Anyway, we are starting a new bunch of projected releases, that might materialize around 2011 or 2012,

involving languages, semantic and semiotic exchanges between Indonesia and Europe, and of course… experimental music & field recordings !

The first stone in that direction was this email / post to our friends :

hi !

for a new project, i’m looking for words in bahasa that are rooted ( but slightly modified ) in the following languages :

Dutch, French, German and Italian.

The first one is quite easy : kantor, apotek, polisi, kualitas, wortel, kamar, rokok, korupsi all come from appropriated dutch words.

But i’ve had no luck in finding examples for the other 3 languages…    So, has anyone ideas ?    Extra ones for the first category are also welcome.

I’ll set up a page soon with the first results, amazing

if you have any word, feel free to mail us !

Looks like our francisco lópez “untitled #228″ release is already highly downloaded on torrents, soulseek and other illegal download websites.

why not some little promotion for our other releases at the same time ? would be appreciated !

Well, anyway, we already have 3 crews from RIAA doing shifts to resolve that problem…

No, seriously, what’s the point ?

all i can tell is that, kids, an mp3 on your ipod is not the same as a vinyl on your turntable

still, enjoy the listening !

Moving on, we are waiting for the mastering of our next release, by d’incise.

this release will be accompanied, in some copies, by a Serigraphy, made by Laurent Peter himself.

you can reserve one if you feel like !

and now something you all have been waiting for since at least november 2009, a new playlist :

( i hope one day the guys from The Wire will see that it’s pre-formatted to fit their monthly column )
