Well, I'm not sure how many of you are still around here, but it's starting again...

First things first is to sort out the mess left it in!

Mash-up goes mainstream?

2005-11-29T08:32:00.000+00:00

We all saw how much press coverage Dangermouse's Grey Album got last year. The mainstream media has really picked up on the concept. To the point where Radio 4's Front Row programme can't even review a book written with a William S. Burroughs style cutup technique without going off on a tangent about Shitmat's Rolf Harris mash-ups (but without actually playing them).

Back in the late 80s / early 90s the UK charts were full of rave and acid house remixes of kids TV themes. That underlying piece of the familiar, the recognisable, the nostalgic, suddenly brought what had been an underground scene into every living room. Suddenly everyone was exposed to a form of music that would never have got that exposure if it didn't already have that instantly recognisable quality.

As fashion, in music as much as in anything else, tends to run in circles, I wonder whether we are on the cusp of seeing something like this again. DJ Spazmo's My Sharona remix has been played on Radio 1, the Wrong Music guys have done their own hour long live session at Maide Vale, and Shitmat gets name dropped on Radio 4.

Mash-up will be coming to a TV or radio near you, soon. Personally, I can't wait to see Mully's Thomas the Tank Engine mash-up on Top Of The Pops. Bandwagon jumpers, jump on now. Those already on the bandwagon, hold tight or jump off, it's up to you.

"The earliest purely electronic instrument was the Teleharmonium or Telharmonium, developed by Thaddeus Cahill in 1897. Simple inconvenience hindered the adoption of the Teleharmonium: the instrument weighed seven tons and was the size of a boxcar. The first practical electronic instrument is often viewed to be the Theremin, invented by Professor Leon Theremin circa 1919 - 1920." [wikipedia] The theremin was commisioned by Stalin and popularized by a young savant violinist who'd lost the use of her fingers. Prior to this, music was composed with for and performed with non electronic instruments, such as the violin.

Composers wrote music for kings and nobility, the patrons thrilled as the sounds of powerful harmonic vibration. Electronic strings are sometimes able to compete with the complexity of real strings, but their value is only augmented by their reference to real strings, not provided wholly. The synthetic sounds of today may refer memetically to their physical models, however we've come full circle to a condition of real instruments often being used to emulate electronic sounds. Ever seen anyone play drum and bass on buckets?

The symbiotic growth of language and music also reflects this phase shifting-- Vocoded voices are teaching people how to pronounce and inflect their words, perfect electronic rhythm is seeping into our natural progressions and syllable cadence. We will explore phase shifts and glitches further at a later date.

On an almost related note, say outloud: "Yeah-Yeah" and fully annunciate it. You have just discovered the best way to imitate Little John. Yeah-Yeah is a silly little meme.

This mix contains many voices, some synthetic, some derived from samples, as well as many other techniques of vocalizing sounds. All sound is vibration, fractal in it's frequency content.

a. Aphex Twin released Druqks in 2001. Amusingly, it contains "explicit lyrics," namely the word cunt. However, that word is hardly explicit compared to the obscene frequencies and mad rhythms the showcased by the album (alongside some avante garde prepared piano tracks). Cock/v10 is one of these obscenely frequent tracks. Earlier this year, an orchestral organization, a band even, named Alarm Will Sound released "Acoustica," a collection of Aphex Twin compositions performed by live instruments. Cock/v10 is included, and thusly this mashup of live and electronic is born.

b. The singing voice is accompanied by high frequency harmonic which often intertwines and permutates the overall timbre. My girlfriend liked this track more than any aphex I've ever played her. She has interesting taste. It IS a beautiful song.

c. Female Demands? She doesn't demand that much, just that I shower occasionally. Just kidding, this is a track by Prefuse 73, my star queen ultimate love of blip hop. The album is One Word Extinguisher.

d. The Beastie Beastie Boys let out some surprising material as well as their familiar sounds on Hello Nasty. This track off the latter half of the album is choice.

e. Aphex Twin and Trent Reznor go way back-- on NIN's further down the spiral we find "At The Heart of It All" to be created by Richard and not Trent. This remix of the beauty of being numb trails out with a rhythm and harmonic cadence made entirely out of wet "ppphhpht-ppphhpht-ppphhpht" sounds. The track it mixes into,

f. Megaloskizk is a piece I composed in 2000. By electronically modifying (vocoder, distortion, some other stuff) a few oooohs and aaaahs we are treated to almost inhuman voices, the choir of the planet of the apes, or similar electronic jungle aesthetic.

g. Voclif Beatpharm demonstrates the interchangeability of drum rhythm and melody/harmony rhythm in an organic yet quite synthetic sounding live recorded then post vocoded drumtrack.

h. Ray Lynch went platinum with Deep Breakfast in the 80s. A lot of musicians currently producing electronic music likely heard this in their childhood. It's good to know your roots. Ray says his music is mostly live instruments in the studio, but it sure sounds like cheesy synth to me. Really good cheesy synth. He was a man split between the classical composition epoch and this fresh onslaught of complication extropic drum programming. We will be returning to the compositional style of "classical" music, as it is already taking form in what are often called "drill" sounds. These glitchy high frequency series of drum hits or other samples are contain multiple phases of frequency, and our evolving intelligence craves complicated yet easily listened to pitches and phrasings of those pitches.

i. On that note, this is Laughable Butane Bob off the Hangable Auto Bulb EP (released in a limited edition of 1000 in 95, re-released by warp on CD. don't miss the anagram). This, and the title track HAB are excellent examples of complicated melodies being played by immensely complicated drillish frequencies.

If you have any predictions about where music is evolving to, feel free to shoot them my way, I have them too and like to discuss. expando@gmail.com

Hope you enjoyed this first post, I'll be back to get nasty with phase transition in frequency next time. Until them, remember the earth is an intelligent organism, of which we are just one kind of cell, possibly metaphorically cancerous.

New Writers!

2005-11-09T21:17:00.000+00:00

Much bigger response to the call for writers than I was expecting, which was a pleasant surprise

There are two confirmed so far with another couple on the way. The first two are Dan and Forrest. Check out their respective sites Gusset and Expando where you can hear both of them in action live

Sorry if I haven't replied to you about writing for the blog but I couldn't have everyone as it would just get too hectic

Blog Writers Wanted

2005-11-05T17:26:00.000+00:00

The Dozercast is taking up a lot of time, leaving the blog side of things a little neglected - so...

Anyone want to write for the blog? Have you got a massive collection of mp3s that you want to share / talk about? I'm looking for about 4 people to write regular posts (one each every week or maybe fortnight)

If you're interested then get in touch with your ideas via the email address beneath the logo (delete the obvious bit...)

Please bear in mind that I don't want this site turning into some NME-wannabee shite. If all you listen to is Franz Ferdinand don't bother emailing. However, I'm more than happy to have some different stuff than is usually posted here, so long as its interesting

2005-10-31T22:44:00.000+00:00

I'd love to say I gathered this lot together to do a live set for me but that would be stretching the truth a little far. This week's (read fortnight's...) Dozercast is made up of live sets recorded elsewhere though. I haven't bothered with track names because I don't know half of them...

Just a quickie - this is a live set from Sinergy Networks head honcho Luis Ortiz aka LOD (go here for his remix of Franco Cinelli's Sense)

The repeated BoC-esque sounds at the beginning and end combined with the liquid sounds at around the 25 minute mark make this very special indeed

Phonophani

2005-09-07T20:26:00.000+01:00

Phonophani is Espen Sommer Eide, member of Alog (1,2), and maker of truly beautiful, often devastatingly sad music

Saltwater achieves both, although you have to wait for it. The first 4 minutes of the track comprise of a series of textures driven by only the slightest of melodies, and on their own they would perhaps be slightly disappointing, but in serving to build a platform on which the second part of the track can rest, they are indispensable. Equally, if the second part of the track were to arrive immediately without anything before it, some of its effect would be lost

The main difference between to two halves of the track are in the type of sounds used. Long sounds are used throughout, but in the second half they are far cleaner and more varied. From the increased variety comes a more discernable melody which ultimately is what makes this track

Most of the melodic section is made up from modem like bleeps, making the track seem like an ode to failed or forgotten technology, not too disimilar to the 8bit videogame and mobile ringtone sounds so prevalent in a lot of current music. While a lot of these types of music refer to forgotten technology, few manage to encapsulate the beauty of obsolescence quite so succinctly as Phonophani

The melody takes a turn for the melancholic when the dialing modem appears to hang, or the connection drops. This event unifies the sounds dynamically, as they all begin to drop. Finally, a heavily processed vocal sound is added that repeats in the background, its low quality perhaps referencing the low bitrate audio associated with a dial-up connection - its message unintelligible, a past voice trapped in an obsolete technology

David Cain

2005-08-31T19:08:00.000+01:00

Namesake of the comicbook assassin, Cain worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (home of Delia Derbyshire and the original Doctor Who theme tune) from 1967 to 1973. He is now retired and living in Poland

Crossbeat is taken from the compilation of Radiophonic tracks released by Rephlex in 2003. It's well worth seeking out as there are some absolute gems on it - definitely an area I'd like to see Rephlex investigating further

The track is only 25 seconds long and is an example of wonderful restraint - perhaps a precursor to BoC's 30 second melodic interludes - and all the better for it's brevity

Introducing the Dozercast

2005-08-27T17:00:00.000+01:00

It's here! The development I was talking about earlier this week has arrived in the form of my new podcast. Go here for the new site. You will be able to get the podcast from this site too, but I thought it would be nice to have a fancy flash site to go with it

Let me know what you think - also, as its new, I don't really have an audience for it yet, so if you like it please help spread the word by telling people who you think might like it or by linking to it if you have a website

When it's fully fledged it will be updated every week, but the 1st show will probably be up a little longer as I'm still in the process of organizing everything. Tracklistings will appear on this site

'X&trick'

2005-08-27T11:45:00.000+01:00

X&trick is the boss at Bugklinik Records, a newish label based in Ghent. As well as assembling a decent line-up of artists (expect Bugklinik releases from both Ceephax Acid Crew and Filaria in the near future), he also releases his own music

His latest release is the Forever EP, and Killin Joe is taken from that. It's totally anthemic - using an old-school rave melody that builds and keeps the track energetic, over an amen break

Play it loud

Tokenrove & Retsyn

2005-08-23T23:28:00.000+01:00

So August was a little quiet around here, but fear not, as instead of idling, I was hard at work preparing definitely one, but possibly two mega-exciting developments. As Dozer is toddling towards it's first birthday, pulling the cat's tail and babbling incoherently all the way, I thought it about time to extend operations here. As I'm not quite finished, I can't be more precise but it won't be long - hopefully within the week!

Tokenrove and Retsyn are responsible for the latest release on Polygon Network, a netlabel run by those responsible for the excellent Radio Free Polygon blog. It's a chiptune sound without any assault on the ears, and Snail's Theme in particular is exquisite - a cross between the more melodic BBC Radiophonic stuff and the Tetris theme. It's one of those tunes you leave it on repeat and just turn the volume up a bit when it starts again. Baroquenaphobia sounds very authentic - it could quite easily have been featured in something involving beards and dragons on the NES

As with most netlabel releases, you can get the whole thing for free. Follow the Polygon Network link above and then use some nous to find it

Role Model, aka Johan Kotlinksi, is the man responsible for creating Little Sound DJ, a piece of software that allows you to compose music on a gameboy. That makes him a bit of a legend on the chiptunes scene, not something you can attribute to many people around the world...

A New Fragrance is his latest release. Originally it came out on Retinascan as a 3" CD, but the album has now been released on 8bitpeoples under a CC license making it free to download. Boy Afraid, New Balance and IMG3BD5 are all taken from this album, while the rest are tracks taken from his website

4 My People/Kinetiskt Porslin is a remix of Missy Elliott

Packaging is rarely an issue for me when it comes to buying music. With the advent of downloadable music, it has been relegated to the point of almost being irrelevant. This said, the artwork for Vitalic's OK Cowboy is what initially drew me to the record. To put it simply, it's wonderful

But while, in this case, the good artwork reflects the quality of the music (the reason we're buying the CD in the first place), it seems a number of the bigger labels (read shitter labels...) have cottoned on to the fact that having some cutting edge graphic designer draw up a cover for your latest release gives it a certain legitimacy. If you can make it look like it is being released by some avant-garde, super-cool label, you might just fool people into thinking the music sounds avant-garde and super-cool. An example of this is the cover for the new Röyksopp album 'The Understanding' (here). It's a nice bit of design, but masks the unmistakably crap music

Polkamatic is the first track from OK Cowboy. Fantastically addictive (as first tracks ought to be...), the melody jolts along, slightly changing tempo occasionally leading eventually to a farting horn-style bass. It's done with all the pomp and glee of something that might pass for a 'fun' number at the end of an otherwise repectable orchestral performance. Instrumental pop music at it's best...
