Click here to download the second of KSV's November 2009 preview files, including segments from Crvi's Two Adaptive Behavior Collisions, Tomoko Sauvage's Wholklang: 14. Nov, and Alexei Borisov & Olga Nosova's Salon am Lichtenbergplatz albums.
Very happy to present the latest micro-edition from Karl Schmidt Verlag:
KSV 056 Alexei Borisov & Olga Nosova - Salon am Lichtenbergplatz
This is the complete aktion from Sunday evening, minus ten unnecessarily recorded minutes of random post-performance gab. Those in attendance witnessed a transcendent set from Olga and Alexei, one that evoked the sounds of garbled line readings broadcast from blasted obsidian sets of outer-galactic, multi-species melodramas. Just terrific.
I joined the duo for a short collaborative set afterwards; all has been stitched together, sans the usual interim shuffling and shifting.

Herr Bruno B's parcel was the first out the coop:

Drop us a line when you've received your swag, please. Karl and I value your thirst for blood...
The CP is listening to "Heart and Soul", the second bottle of red has drained away, Tobi is gesticulating midway through a disquisition on pink pepper chocolate, and I've crawled away from the kitchen just long enough to spill the pintos on the two newest KSV orthostats!
Threaded foray? Sehr gut!

KSV 051 Crvi - Two Adaptive Behavioral Collisions
Crvi document rusted hulks, calcified electrodes, lost opportunities, and lingering doubts. The duo of Zizic and Mihovilovic hail from Split, Croatia, and their machines have achieved a malign sort of independence. We are pleased by the sounds they refuse to make...

KSV 055 Wohlklang: 14. Nov (Tomoko Sauvage)
Tomoko Sauvage lives in Paris, and sleeps in the welcoming mouth of a manta. She conjures arid vistas with bowls of water.
As (my Three Resurrected Drunkards partner) Pit Noack noted after Sauvage's performance, she could have turned the master gain of her mixer much louder, but she wisely demurred.
Nature is slow, quiet, and incredibly destructive, one drop at a time...
