hi everybody

for the last few months I've been working on a commission from the Museum
of Modern Art in Barcelona (MACBA) to assemble a six part documentary on
the history of appropriative collage in music i.e. sampling.  pretty
mammoth, but fun.

a link to a stream of the first episode is here, along with a clickthrough
allowing you to download the mp3 for free from iTunes:

offline feedback / correspondence welcome from rumorites, this is
definitely ongoing

got about three albums worth of recent music ready to post to my site
soon, for now there is this recent engineering job:

& finally, the documentary has me in archiving mode, so I transferred the
first episode of Over The Edge I ever heard from April 1985: Negativland
performing 'The Easter War Show'.  This is the cassette of highlights I
edited down for repeat listening a week after recording the show.  Lots of
live instrumental jamming, and great examples of recepticle programming,
if you listen closely you'll realize that many of the lo-fi texts &
musical sounds are actually being mixed in live from the callers.  Track
06 is an early alternate cut-up from the same material Don later used for
'Time Zones'.  This is perhaps hard core fans only, but I'm guessing
that's this list:

ok for now I hope
