Cathy Lane ~ The Hebrides Suite (Gruenrekorder)
Interviews and field recordings create an expansive, beguiling soundscape.

Daniel Blinkhorn ~ Terra Incognita (Gruenrekorder)
A wealth of sound, from clocks and toys to ocean creatures and human innards.

David Velez ~ Unseen Terror (Echomusic)
At the end, the installation is smashed ~ a good thing it was recorded!

Jay-Dea Lopez ~ The Great Silence (3leaves)
Did you know that Australia is completely silent?  Early colonialists spread the rumor.

Jeremie Mathes ~ Efequen (Unfathomless)
The plants, bridges and littered debris of a remained Lanzarote. 

Joao Castro Pinto ~ Ars Abscondita (OtO)

2013: The year in retrospective -PATRICK FARMER-

Sound composer, artist and writer
Editor of The Field Reporter

Anton Bruckner‘s 5th Symphony (thanks to Richard Pinnell)

Discovering whilst Walking the coast between Aberystwyth and Ynyslas that the clustered roots of a valerian plant smell exactly the same as the scent a guinea pig emits when marking his territory. And the subsequent realisation that such a stench, to my nose, especially in certain strains of viburnum (which I used to walk past almost every day and gag) is often used to attract and trap flies.

Unexpectedly learning so much about said guinea pigs

Nick Hennies – Flourish (Consumer Waste)
Timothy Morton – Hyperobjects (Minnesota press)
Egrets wandering on the vast dried up bed of the Santa Clara river
Italo Calvino – Collection of sand (Penguin)
Kunsu Shim – Love. Performed by Nick Hennis and Greg Stuart (Senufo Editions)
Michael Pisaro – The middle of life (Gravity Wave)
Faber and Faber’s reissues of Thomas Bernhard making me wish I spoke German all the more
Haptic – Abeyance (Entr’acte)
VA AA LR – it just ain’t flapping (Consumer Waste)
The malting larch trees seen from my window
Stephen Cornford – Music for earbuds (3 Leaves)
Quentin Meillasoux – The number and the siren (Urbanomic)
Walking up to the source of the river severn only to be scuppered by constant circuits of drag racing, which, after much effort, I began to quietly enjoy as an absurd spectacle… Running rings around us in the desolate peat bogs of the Cambrian Mountains. Gravel pouring into the ears instead of the usual crossbills.
Daniel Bennett buying me a copy of Wittgenstein’s Culture and Value without my knowing.
Olivia Block – Karren (Sedimental)
Robert Simpson‘s string quartets (thanks to David Lacey)
Toshiya Tsunoda – O KOKOS TIS ANIXIS (edition.t)

Stephen Cornford, Yann Leguay, and I being shown around the Ornamental gardens of West Dean College by Sarah Hughes. Culminating in a greenhouse full of Mouse Melons, which are native to Mexico, and Gourds so long I could have worn them as trousers.

2013: The year in retrospective -KOSIS KILYMIS-

Sound composer, artist

 2013 was a long year

some may feel like not much happened, but I for one felt there were a lot of things bubbling creatively during the year, waiting to come to the fore. It was also a time during which I changed my mind so many times over the state of music (experimental or otherwise), I challenged my taste, my conception of sound as a medium, and the purposes and motives behind my involvement with it as an artist, label curator and producer.

it’s also yet another year that begs for more attentive listening on my part. There’s piles of stuff on my floor and in my hard drive, still waiting to be heard.

having said all this, here’s a few things from 2013 that are not too commonly mentioned on the same page with the work more usually discussed in this blog, but that I still feel have some very serious input to offer in the area of acousmatic perception and sound creation (starting with my album of the year):

Fleshpile Sister. DALE CORNISH (Entr’acte)
Material. EMPTYSET (Subtext)
Outer Alsatian. WANDA GROUP (Notown)
Commercial Mouth. JAR MOFF (Pan)

then some more predictable choices:

Luftlöcher. JENNIFER VEILLEROBE (Senufo Editions)
Inconsistent Images. ADAM ASNAN (Entr’acte/Senufo Editions)
Semikolon. LARS-GUNNAR BODIN / BENGT EMIL JOHNSON (Paradigm Discs -reissue)
Pictures of men. PATRICK FARMER / DAVID LACEY (Copy for your records)
Ten Thousand Wooden Faces. AQUA DENTATA (Echo Tango)

discovery of the year:

Visitations. JON GIBSON (Chatham Square Productions)

other party classics:

Som Sakrifis. MOHAMMAD (Pan)
Years Not Living. LARRY GUS (DFA)
Feathers. KU (Inner Ear)
Rollin’. DJ RASHAD (Hyperdub)
Re-engineering. HEATSICK (Pan)
the whole Berceuse Heroique catalogue

& everything else I forgot to put in this list
