Tonight 23:05 on WDR3 →
I was invited to participate in this radio feature for Cologne’s WDR3 radio, the prestigious German cultural station. I associate WDR3 most with the legacy of its electronic music studio, where Karlheinz Stockhausen realised ‘Gesang des Junglinge’ in the 50’s.
This feature, put together by Raphael Smarzoch, is inspired by Adam Harper’s book, Infinite Music, and the...

Watchplant (by OpenEndedGroup)
More incredible quality work from the OpenEndedGroup, artists and creators of Field software environment.
The Packard Plant in Detroit has significance for techno music culture, as many parties happened there. I imagine “Plant” with a mid-90s techno soundtrack could be even more resonant.

Transmediale 2012 is an in/compatible being. Incompatibility is the condition that arises when things are not working together. With transmediale 2012, we are investigating the productive and destructive sides of incompatibility as a fundamental condition for cultural production in times of crisis. In this context transmediale 2012 calls for a transversal approach. With our theme in/compatible...

Resynth v2 →
A very correct update of the legendary in-tracker synth experience.
No stupid heavy-metal interface to distract your imagination… 4 efficient, layered wavetable oscillators. Sounds like they are aliased at the top to avoid nyquist foldown, and at the bottom end to avoid quantisation errors.
Basically, that means killer bass source, full pressure on every pitch, and in your face...

Infinite Music - Adam Harper
Adam Harper - Infinite Music - Zero Books
Adam Harper finally sees his first book published this month. A very important text for composers today and in the future, and for disillusioned listeners who may feel the need to re-engage with the massive significance of music and music creation in our times.
Personally, I think there has been too much dumbing-down or over simplification of the...
