Vanessa Rossetto's @foundrabbit newest on #ErstwhileRecords - The Professional - is a spry, playful series of pieces about the creative process itself. Lots of great, fast moving pastiches of musique concrete, but with the narrative and programmatic content that Vanessa is well-known for at this point. This time we're along for her European tour and worldly travels. We hear the pieces unfold and figure themselves out along her journey, with the music and speech captured via field recording often reflecting back in on itself and referencing the circumstances and techniques involved in its own creation. It's a wonderful kind of mirror universe. In the process we hear Vanessa giving a workshop, live sets, an interview, and more of her experiences through this seemingly living mass of sonorous storytelling. Highly recommended
The last true act of artistic transgression we have at our disposal is being horribly tediously boring. Luckily for me, I make sound collages out of field recordings
@Bandcamp getting rid of Marc Masters' experimental music column is an absurd misjudgement. Literally knocking down one of the main genres that can thrive on that platform and needs uplifting.
