Three awesome videos by Perish Factory:

LADYSCRAPER - THOU ART FUCKING DEAD


TRANS AM - TESCO VS SAINSBURYS


BOMB THE BASS - BUTTERFINGERS


Megane - Petal Dance
music : Stage 1, Vol. 1, Track 1 by Burnt Bacon, Right? (aka Keith Hic)

"MP3 blog Stereogum (who are on a similar wavelength to Pitchfork) has assembled a tribute album to Björk's Post, with individual tracks covered by indie/hipster/futurefolk bands like Dirty Projectors, Xiu Xiu, El Guincho and Final Fantasy. It's available for free download in MP3 format, but only until the licences run out, after which it'll be streaming-only and impossible to legally obtain, like their OK Computer tribute album from last year."

Derek Sajbel says:
"I just finished a trailer for the bent festival 2007 NYC dvd i made
you can watch it in 720p streaming with vimeo's most superior web video service"

"Shot and Mastered in HDV, Absurdity.Biz continues the Circuit Bending Documentary Project with the release of Bent 2007 NYC widescreen SD-DVD. Help support the independent documentary now over five years in the making being produced solely by Dr. Rek. DVDs available at absurdity.biz"

"I had an excellent time performing at them in New York and Minneapolis this year
it was cool to meet faltyDL, for a brief moment while sweating thru a orange furry suit and minneapolis is a really nice town with not too little and not too much happening, if it didn't have hellish winter, I'd want to live there.

"also, i was interviewed recently by getlofi.com"

"Absurdity.Biz's newest music video for our long time pal Daedelus' track "Lights Out" [21MB mov] off his new release on ninja tune and mush records entitled "denighs the days demise" can be downloaded here for the best looking version, or watch the google stream below, which plays best when u let the whole video preload before viewing."



Decal - 404 not found videos
These were only shown on Irish TV when the album came out (2002). And this non-album track is a stunner:
Decal - Dancing With Stiletoes In The Snow*

"One of Decals most inventive tracks and [was] only available as a quicktime video! Included on a CD of Irish artists, 'Please Don't Ask Me What I Think of Your Band' that came free with Homage magazine. The video by Tim Redfern is also outstanding, gelling seamlessly with the music, 2002."
* Gotta love the Marrillion reference too!

This Lucky Me - Tweet – Ooops remix [via downloadmyspacemusic]

Bit behind here, I've forgotten to post this several times now, Appleblim April podcast Rinse FM [107MB MP3]
Tracklisting

Jonas the Plugexpert says,
"Yo some tunes in here [20MB MP3 on webpage]ranging in style, the first one is a remix, rest is work in progress
cheers."

Bad Mammal has a new MP3 release over on Good Luck Bad Luck, if you want something downbeat and dirty/lo-fi, but it's charged for, so I'd suggest downloading the live set from Chicago [38MB MP3] last year and seeing what you think.

Rave-infected vampire flick, the first new movie from Hammer in almost 30 years



Episodes begin at MySpace.com/BeyondTheRave on April 17th.
Beyond the Rave is a vampire story set in England's underground rave scene. The movie follows the last hours of freedom of local soldier Ed, who is flying out to Iraq in the morning. With the help of his best friend Necro, he spends his last night in the UK tracking down his missing girlfriend Jen, last seen partying with a bizarre group of hardcore night-time ravers led by the mysterious Melech. But as he catches up with Jen at a party, Ed discovers that Melech's crowd, who are hosting the event, are looking for more than a night of fun, and that not everyone will make it through to dawn.

Very guilty pleasures so probably the worst WoBcast ever.

Plus a reminder that this month's Skip to the End is this Tuesday (not Thursday) when my guest will be Rasha Shaheen who will be performing a live 30min set.
Catch the show at 9pm from http://www.sound-unsound-network.com/forum.php
Vex'd will be on March's cast now because he's got too many gigs this month.

A couple of years ago I was in the back of a London cab, just off the Eurostar from Brussles, and was surprised to find a TV screen playing a travel video about Paris. Presumably to distract from viewing London whilst there. Having seen the capital before, I watched the video, which showed a man wearing a suit made out of in-line skates rolling around the city in a surprising accomplished and impressive manner. Despite searching for the video later I never found out any more about it until now, when Grom writes:

Another person to add to the certified nutter list. Jean Yves Blondeau looks like one of the Wheelers from Return to Oz (if you've ever had the mis/fortune to see that movie) as he wears his custom-made suit consisting of lots of inline skate wheels and then launching himself down Swiss roads. Make sure you also see parts 1 & 3 for more details about the suit and to see him attempt to go faster than a motorbike in the dark.

It reminds me of this joke:
Q: What's the hardest part of in-line skating?
A: Telling your parents you're gay.

Phew, this has been a long time coming. Cross-posted with Bristol Breakcore Blog.

Following Anarchist606’s post about the plethora of rare video footage, charting the history of popular music, that can be found on YouTube, I thought it might be interesting to try to cover the history of electronic music in the same way. This is not intended to be in any way comprehensive, I know there are huge chunks missing, so please feel free to add more.

Now, the oldest electronic instrument I can find any footage of is, of course, the Theremin, invented in 1917 by Leon Theremin and still used to this day:







A rash of other early electronic instruments appeared throughout the 1920s and and ‘30s, and disappeared again just as quickly. It wasn’t until Pierre Schaeffer’s invention of the tape recorder in 1939 that the first major school of electronic music took shape.

1940s - Musique Concrète

Some of the pioneers of this technique of creating music from recordings of natural sounds through layering and tape splicing are presented here:









1940 – Vocoder invented by Homer Dudley.

Demonstration on vintage (1978) Sennheiser VSM-201 shows what it does:



Demonstration here from 2007 shows a software vocoder being used to control visuals as well as audio:



1952: RCA Synthesiser Mks I & II invented. No footage found from this period but see later section on the Radiophonic Workshop. The ring modulator also appeared around this time, see Dalek voices.

1953: Greek architect turned composer Iannis Xenakis writes Metastasis, using statistical techniques to create music. Another pioneer of music controlled or composed through computing techniques.



1956 – The Forbidden Planet, with “Electronic Tonalities”* by Louis and Bebe Barron. Pioneers of snuff audio, using circuits build to feedback and go into oscillation they recorded the sound of the electronics dying, so none of these sounds could ever be created identically twice.
(* It was intentionally not called music in an attempt to avoid playing musician union fees.)



Varèse/ Xénakis/Le Corbusier - poeme électronique (1958) [stick with it!]



1963 – The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, founded by Daphne Oram in 1958, experimented with musique concreté through it’s early years. It came to mainstream attention when Ron Grainger’s Dr Who theme is arranged and rendered out of tape loops by Delia Derbyshire, the first lady of electronica.



















Stockhausen was another important pioneer of experimental music, working music Musique Concreté in the early days and then all sorts of other strange things later on. Like the Helicopter String Quartet:



The music in the video below is "Etude" by Karlheinz Stockhausen (I’m not quite sure why someone has decided to put this video to it but I’d guess they have a custard pie fetish.)



1965: First Moog Synthesiser released. Interview with Bob Moog from



Here there should be a homage to Walter/Wendy Carlos and especially A Clockwork Orange but instead I have to include this:



Someone’s Moog ad:



Alice Shields - Study For Voice And Tape (1968), with pictures of sci-fi crumpet:



1970: Emerson Lake & Palmer - Knife Edge
Keith Emerson at his keyboard battering best. (Incidentally, he took a flame thrower to a Hammond organ the time I saw them live.)



1975: Rick Wakeman – King Arthur on Ice



Out of place, but I couldn’t resist including Wizard Of Oz vs the Moog Cookbook



1978: Brian Eno on Music for Airports



1979: Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe - Place De La Concorde. I love Jarre. He’s like the David Copperfield of synths. Just look at that silver shirt. I expect him to start levitating at any moment.



1979: The first digital sampler, the Fairlight CMI is produced.
Herbie Hancock Demonstrates the Fairlight on Sesame Street



1981: Brian Eno & David Byrne – America is Waiting, from Life in the Bush of Ghosts, so far ahead of its time it’s scary.



1982: Peter Gabriel and Fairlight CMI, bringing in a “new-wave of electronic skiffle”



Secret of the Fairlight Sequencer



Carlos pops up again: Tron - Light cycle sequence (1982)



1982: Vangelis – Chariots of Fire OST & Bladerunner OST





Grammy awards Synthesizer Medley 1985



Curtis Roads founds the Computer Music Association in 1980 and edits the Computer Music Journal for 23 years. Fluxon (2003)




The 80s were synth-pop tastic, and I could include so much here, but most of it will already be so familiar it’s not really worth it. As a token example, here’s Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder - Together In Electric Dreams. For more Moroder see the soundtracks from Midnight Express, American Gigolo, Flashdance, The Never Ending Story, Thief of Hearts, Electric Dreams, Cat People and Scarface.



Then there’s all the New Order, Madchester stuff. You know all that. So let’s skip to 1989. Where there is disquiet in a field in Kent.





Quality gurning:





Meat Beat Manifesto – Helter Skelter (‘97 mix)



FSOL



At this point there could be a whole post of the same size just about the Amen break, but I’m really not interested enough to do that. So instead, here’s my personal favourite dnb tune, Photek’s Ni Ten Ichi Ryu



A nod to the Bristol scene:



Now, as the rave scene above got a bit silly and didn’t make a lot of sense without the aid of pills, the people staring trying to bring the intelligence back into it. Here’s holy trinity of “IDM”: Tom, Rich, and Mike:

All videos for the time being. I might add some more if I find it.

Dr. Rek plays his live acid show for the first time in Japan [YouTube]
and HD 720p [mov]
and a track from the end [MP3]
Worth checking out if only for the circuit bent giggling Elmo and the Drs costume. Shame the audience is so spares and he seems to lack energy because of it. I know how that feels.

Keith Fullerton Whitman - "video of my entire set opening for ikue mori @ issue project room a few weeks back" [Google video]

Edit (05.08.07), now listening to this:
"Here is an EP [30MB rar on YouSendIt], of 2 10 minute long tracks all at 200bpm, including the kersal massive, beefy n taz, darksided christian warrior woman, and lots of other really shit things amalgamated into one hideous lump of breakcore/gabba.
I hope you enjoy it.

rotorbrain.com: "The Micro Rhythm Orchestra is an update on the venerable music box tradition. I made it from a wooden cigar box and head-park solenoids scavenged from old disk drives. The solenoids are controlled by a microprocessor. Instead of playing a conventional melody, the solenoids are sequenced to click in rhythmic patterns. If the whole business wasn't quite such a dorkfest, the sound could almost be considered funky."
