	The Art Of The Gremlin Curated by Sarah Washington, this collection presents all manner of unholy instrument builders, including those who prey on a single quality of some fairly ordinary equipment in order to extract the most intricate possibilities from it. The one thing that unites them is their common desire to find ways of creating and performing sounds that suit their personalities as players. The sounds in these recordings vary from crackles, scrapes, beeps and blips to fluid tones. Although there are occasional encounters between these constructed noises and more familiar sounds — a bass clarinet in the duo of Grace and Delete, for example, and a host of birds on Hampsted Heath that sing along to the bleeps of Moshi Honen — most of the sounds come from a wide range of sources, from the modified printer of Dan Wilson to the modified knitting machine of Ivan Palcky, via all the chaos of dozens of distorted electric circuits. The compositions are Dan Wilson's 'Printar (Study One)', NotTheSameColor's 'bin_op', Rotted Orange's 'Birthday Bull', Kunst.ruch.ter's 'Grandpa's broken hearing aid', Owl Project's 'Bubo Bubo', Norbert Möslang's 'solar_greetings', Moshi Honen's 'Birds Do It', Grace and Delete's 'Splittens', Haco's 'Pencil Organ '04, Leonardo Di Crappio's 'America, Torture Capital of the World', Ferran Fages's 'DESTENS', Oscillatorial Binnage's 'Taut Wires, Lice and Flies', Børre Mølstad's 'tubafeedback', Rhodri Davies' 'Camber', Knut Aufermann and Tetsuo Kogawa's 'fm:i/o', Toshimaru Nakamura's 'nimb#41', Ivan Palacky's 'In the Knitting Mood'.

	David Tudor: Live Electronic Music This CD of early works by David Tudor, available also as the CD insert to Volume 14 of Leonardo Music Journal, presents three previously unreleased works. 'Anima Pepsi' (1970), which combines sounds of animals, insects, and other like sounds with electronic processing, was composed for the EAT (Experiments in Art and Technology) pavilion at the Worlds Fair in Osaka, Japan, in 1970. 'Toneburst' (1975), a classic, commissioned by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, is based on pure electronic feedback. 'Dialects' (1984) combines and transforms vowel-like and fricative sounds into relentless rhythms. EMF Media  =>  EM154  $16.00
	Ghosts And Monsters Leonardo Music Journal is published once every year. It contains not only articles on many fascinating subjects, but also a compact disc, usually a compilation of music that relates to the theme of the journal. For the first time, this year's compact disc, curated by Matthias Osterwold for LMJ Volume 8, subtitled 'Technology and Personality in Contemporary Music', is available independently. Osterwold writes: "Ghosts and monsters are products of imagination ... the ghosts of the past encounter the monsters of the future ... The pieces on this CD bring together examples of musical work that trace some aspects of the fields in which today's ghosts and monsters reside: politics, ideologies, the cult of personality, the mystery of technology ... from Lenin to Lennon, from gramophone to interactive audio software ... it is an imaginary, jumpy 'tour de force' through the century." The music includes: Alexander Abramovitch Krejn's 'The Memorial Ode on the Death of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin' (1925); an excerpt from John Cage's 'Voiceless Essay' (1912-1922); Paul De Marinis' 'The Lecture of Comrade Stalin of the Extraordinary 8th Plenary Congress about the Draft Concept of the Constitution of the Soviet Union on November 25, 1936'; an excerpt from Robert Ashley's 'Automatic Writing' (1979); Cornelius Cardew's 'There is Only One Lie, There is Only One Truth' (1936-1981); Henning Christiansen's 'reality is a ghost in my mind (cruelty & terror) op. 174' (1998); John Lennon and Paul McCartney's 'Nothing is Real (Strawberry Fields Forever)' arranged by Alvin Lucier, played by Margaret Leng Tan (piano); an extract from Peter Cusack and Nicolas Collins' 'A Host, Of Golden Daffodils' (1996); Shelley Hirsch's 'For Jerry' (1998); Frieder Butzmann's 'Music for Salome' (1998); Oval / Markus Popp's 'Vario'; and Michael Snow's 'Blues with Beer, Magazines, Table and Chair' (1998). Altogether, this is a wonderful 20th-century collection, conceptually as well as musically strong, it is indeed, as Osterwold puts it, "an essay in musical form," and a very intelligent and fascinating essay at that.

	Southern Cones: Music Out of Africa and South America The varied, interesting, talented, charming, and utterly capitivating music on this CD, all of it from Africa and South America, all of it involving technology in some way, was chosen by Jürgen Bräuninger for Leonardo Music Journal Volume 10. You'll listen to it many times for many reasons ... because of the depth of its worldliness and humanity, because the traditional rhythms mixed with technology are so fascinating, because the sounds are so appealing, and because you'll understand better what music means throughout the world. Bräuninger writes, "Gathered here in this virtual performance space are composers of the African continent and South America and citizens of other regions for whom these Southern cultures have been musically significant. Some have 'voyaged in' from the sprawling cities of the South to the metropolitan centers of the North with their internal 'Third Worlds', their own Souths; some have voyaged into the Molochs of the Southern Cones, places with pockets of unimaginable wealth protected by fortress walls, their own Norths; while others are oscillating in-between, crossing many borders, touching upon other urban flows, joining the urban sprawls." The compositions include Lukas Ligeti's 'Balarama', Diego Luzuriaga's 'Excerpt from Viento en el Viento', FELEMA's (Feya Faku, Monde Lex Futshane, and Mark Grimshaw) 'I Wish You Strength and Inner Peace', Eduardo Reck Miranda's 'Electroacoustic Samba I', Daniel Wyman's 'Excerpt from Wena Wendlovu', Damián Keller's 'Palabras 1' and 'El escrache', Aldo Brizzi's 'L'Epreuve du Labyrinthe', Jürgen Bräuninger's 'ihlathi', Rodrigo Sigal's 'Excerpt from Dolor en Mi', TIMELESS' (Bruce Cassidy and Pops Mohamed) 'Closet Blues' and 'The Phoenix' Call', Didier Guigue's 'Aquele que ficou sozinho', and Kurt Dahlke's 'Brontologik 3.44'. This CD was originally curated for Leonardo Music Journal Volume 10. Listen to these MP3 excerpts: Aquele que ficou sozinho I Wish You Strength and Inner Peace EMF Media  =>  EM127  $16.00
	Not Necessarily "English Music" The 1960s was a time of major revolution and opening up in western music. Electronics made all sounds possible, free improvisation grew out of jazz, musicians expressed radical social ideas to young audiences. And as David Toop demonstrates in curating this great 2-CD package, England was one of the hotbeds of experimentation! In fact, these CDs are, to quote Toop, "documentation of an extraordinary burst of musical experimentation that touches upon the overlapping practices of live electronics, improvisation, free jazz, free rock, tape music, experimental and revolutionary composition, sound sculpture, sound poetry, minimalism and a few pieces that refuse to confine themselves even to these unruly categories in order to explore the outer limits of free folk blues, symbolic table tennis, and similar improbabilities." And who are the musicians? Cornelius Cardew, Daphne Oram, Hugh Davies, Michael Nyman, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Michael Parsons, Max Eastley, AMM, The Scratch Orchestra, Intermodulation, The People Band, Gentle Fire, are but a few of the fabulous musicians and groups represented in this 2-CD package.
