Just saw him perform last Friday at the London Contmporary Music Festival. Lush to see him return to his Multistability era after a good few years concentrating on more 'contemporary' and non-electronic stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTmKZS8yeHk Fuckin banging Fell is probably my fave electronic musician after the autocray m8s so I thought it would be nice to share tracks and enthusiasm towards his u n i q u e a e s t h e t i c

This is out for a month, i picked it up (i highly recommend it) but it seems like WATMM missed this fine Collarboration with Budapest-based Gabor Lazar: also listen to this absolutely lush track (not associated with this album, but also by mark fell): http://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/listen_mark-fell-track

Really amazing group of artists in collaboration and/or remixing one another. Purchase benefits a good cause. Im excited to give it a listen and report back on my favorites https://crxssings.bandcamp.com/releases "All the funds generated by the sales of this album will be donated directly to City Plaza Hotel, a squatted refuge located in the heart of Athens, Greece, organized for and by migrants from Africa and Asia. These funds will support their struggle to provide material needs for those fleeing economic, environmental, political and military disasters in their home countries. At City Plaza Hotel residents work together in ways that center their own agency, dignity and solidarity with each other. This compilation in no way claims to represent the voices of refugees and migrants, nor does it represent the scores of incredible musicians from the Middle East, North Africa or Central America whose communities are being disrupted by mass migration. Rather, the artists participating in this compilation recognize that their lives and art have benefitted from the relative ease with which they are able to move across borders, performing for international audiences and developing relationships across cultures. Some of the artists involved are the children of immigrants, or have their own experiences of migration and relocation. All of them share a belief in a basic freedom of movement and stand in solidarity with those migrants and refugees who are struggling to make a better life for their families and themselves. "

New podcast: COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #9.1, by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore wrap up this series on generative and process music with a piece created specifically for the occasion: 'Two Discrete Generative Systems'. Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/composingwithprocess_9_mark_fell_joe_gilmore/capsula Related info: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20130606/Composingwithprocess9_eng.pdf The focus of the ninth episode in this series is a project entitled 'Two Discrete Generative Systems' by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore. The works referred to in the title were developed separately and first heard together at Enjoy ArtSpace, Leeds, UK, on 29 April 2013. The recording presented here is an ambisonic room recording of the event which was open to the public. It is hoped that the works and their combination respond to some of the key themes addressed throughout the series. Gilmore's piece, presented on four loudspeakers, explores behaviours generated by a flocking algorithm. These behaviours are used to control the frequency and amplitude of four oscillators. The piece is presented as a series of 'studies' of fixed duration followed by one minute of silence. In each study the conditions of the flock are predetermined. Flocking is a description of the group bahaviour of living things such as birds, fish and bacteria. In flock simulations, the motion of each agent is dependent on the conditions governing the overall behaviour of the flock, and also on the interaction between autonomous agents. The three main conditions governing movement are avoidance, alignment, and coherence. Although flocking exhibits somewhat chaotic motion, in reality there is a complex set of behavioural interaction occuring between individuals in the flock. While Gilmore's piece explores tonality with multiple loudspeakers, Fell's contribution by contrast uses a single speaker, centrally placed, playing rhythmic structures with a percussive single sound principally derived from the Linn kick drum. Among the arrangement of speakers a computer is placed on a plinth, this displays a collection of sliders that are used to generate and change the rhythm that is played. Audience members take it in turns to change the sliders and make patterns. The algorithm used to produce to rhythmic structures is based around groupings of durations and repetitions of temporal intervals. This simple structure generates a number of distinct patterns.

Link: http://rwm.macba.cat...gilmore/capsula Playlist: http://rwm.macba.cat...rocess8_eng.pdf Episode eight in the series continues to look at how composers working with generative systems implement change in their works. This episode focuses on models of change using mathematical structures derived from complex dynamic systems observed in nature. Through advances in mathematics, physics and biology, the programme looks at how composers have utilised the central findings of chaos theory and emergent systems – such as cellular automata, Lindenmeyer Systems and fractal geometry – to generate automated dynamic patterns of change.

New podcast: COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #6.1. Space, curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore Link: http://bit.ly/H3hWzb The sixth episode in the series considers the relationship between process-based music and space. It explores how musicians and composers have used acoustic space as an active element in music composition. Some historical precedents, such as Tibetan and medieval chanting, are included; acoustic space has not only been explored externally, but also internally, as physiological space. We look at several examples of music which explore these principles, including: Austrian composer Peter Ablinger's exploration of acoustic space using silence and noise; and Italian composer Agostino di Scipio's 'Audible Eco-Systems' which explore the real-time interaction between digital signal processing (DSP) and the space in which it is located. The show closes with two performative works which differ in their approach: '495, 63' by Yasunao Tone and Carl Michael von Hausswolff's freq_out project.
