more video stuff

One of the good things about releasing stuff copyright-free is that you can find your stuff sometimes at curious places, like underground short films and advertisments.
There are few more video shorts where SSS music is involved. Here are the links:
Bad Taste 3.0: Jammer-Party (trailer, made by Marcus Wojatschke) - another link
Still More Worrying (short film made by Yan Kouton)
Frame (advertising the independent film project)

Vote with a brick part 5

Presidential election of Russia next sunday. It is a really hard guess who will win... (yeah, right)
Get Vote with a brick part 5 here. Quality of mix and democratic situation in Russia are equally good.

update & video stuff

Just back from Thailand just to notice that one of my external hard drives malfunctioned badly and finally died away. That means a lot of my sound material (field recordings, random effect sounds, samples etc.) has gone for good. Maybe from now on I´ll learn to back up important stuff more frequently. That means two things: A) "La Musique Concréte part 2" will be delayed & B) "Buddha Machines On Fire part 2" will be delayed. Maybe there is a good side in all of this: I´ll renew my whole computer system and get rid of lot of junk and start making music from an 'empty table'.

There is impressing experimental short film I Wake at You Tube which uses SSS´s First week as a background music. I´m glad they used my music for that. Watch it.

Megaupload down

2012

Is this the moment when I am supposed to say "happy new year"? In your dreams, honey. This year there´s going to be much more misery, famine, economical downfall, extreme and harmful natural phenomena, random and acts of violence, political/religious/social unrest, dictators taking over in some distant barren third-world wastelands etc. And guess what? I´ll make a song or two about them.

video stuff

There is interesting short film Note Off including music of SSS and The Insider. It has been done by video artist, live media and body art performer Francesca Fini. Check her at her site.

New remix track

I am proud to announce that Salakapakka Sound System has one remix track on a brand new Derek Piotr´s remix album "Agora Regathered". Salakapakka Sound System made a remix of his track Behaviour state. Get it from bitsquare or from Experimedia.

Rapidshare files deleted

Rapidshare has announced that most of my files will be deleted since I did not extend my RapidPro. That means I have to upload some older stuff at mediafire and megaupload. That is going to take some time. Luckily, most of SSS stuff is available at other places as well. If there is some specific files you´re after, just let me know.

New compilation track

Salakapakka Sound System track untitled piece for kantele #1 is part of a new web compilation "Soinoise vol.2: SIDS". Remember the kantele which got my hands on recently? As you can guess by the title, this track is made entirely by using that particular instrument and a few effects. Here is what Pawel, the person behind soinoise, has to say:

"The second installment in the Soinoise cycle has become a fact. A fact strangely intriguing and painful, not to mention – international.
This new reality has been subordinated to the sound of musical instruments. That was the starting point – as little electronics and as much live sound as possible. With time, it has evolved a little towards a game with the audience – a game of pretenses and outright trickery. However, the plan of constructing a coherent and constructive statement on instrumental music has been fulfilled.
This compilation lets us lean over certain somewhat forgotten (sometimes literally) instruments and see (or rather hear) if they still have anything to offer. We can analyze single sounds as well as their combinations that dissolve unintelligibly into one another. This freedom, openness, lends itself to the structure of the compositions themselves. Some of them are complete and well thought-out, for some, the word improvisation becomes a none too accurate euphemism.
One should remember that, rather than mere listening, our experience of music is a form of communion."
