I splashed out on a bunch of albums recently:
Stephan Mathieu - A Static Place
Le Berger - Expeditions on the Grayscale (one tiny, two medium and a grand one)
Zavoloka - Vedana
Tobias Reber - Backup Aura
Markus Reuter - Todmorgen 513
Seth Horvitz - Studies for Automatic PianoTabula Rasa (special edition with book, including scores)
All good stuff.

Objectified by Gary Hustwit. This is his second film, after Helvetica, which looks at our relationship to manufactured objects via the people who design them.

That must have been great fun to see Janssen at school!
This cybernetic sculpture is worth a look if you haven't seen it. The Senster has amazingly natural movement. Edward Ihnatowicz studied things like lobster claws to understand the mechanism. There's no audio on the clip, but you can see that it reacts to sound - it is attracted to quiet sounds (as if curious), and repelled by loud sounds (as if startled).

Me too. I really like the organic direction that the music is taking.

Ultra Vivid Scene - Ultra Vivid Scene (4AD, 1988). Over 20 years ago since I got this, so hearing it now takes me back! Still sounds fresh. Wouldn't have guessed back then that it would weather so well. Where's Kurt Ralske now?

FIELD RECORDING / Re: What's your favourite location / source for field recordings?
« on: March 12, 2011, 12:09:19 pm »
Sorry, we've drifted way off topic here, but thanks Aidan for reminding me about that Watson & Attenborough talk (seen it before, but glad to hear it again).
Getting back on topic:
I don't have field recording equipment yet, but as soon as I do I would like to record woodland, specifically Colwick woods, just up the road from here, and the woodland near Ladybower in the Peak District, Derbyshire. I love the sparse reverberation off large trees, the sounds of wildlife and farm animals, and the sound of the wind in the leaves. Without equipment, as yet, I've only been using my ears and memory to recreate these sounds.
