New Review of "...of memory and dreams" on GAZ-ETA
I
haven't got a clue what composer/sound-artist Bill Thompson
uses to produce the sound given off on "...Of Memory
and Dreams". Could it be a broken CD that is fed
through a laptop or perhaps prepared guitar that is amplified
and processed through his home-made software? No matter...[more]

New Review on Touching Extremes
BILL THOMPSON - “…of memory and
dreams” (7hings)
Scarce
advertising kills excellent music. That's why I don't
excessively love downloadable releases, besides living
in a commodity deprived area (no broadband internet).
If the kind soul that belongs to “the artist also known
as Professor LoFi” hadn't suggested him to send me this
on a CDR, I'd have probably missed a great recording.
Because this is great, no questions about it. Lasting
just over half an hour, “...of memory and dreams” was
commissioned by, and realized for, 7hings in the occasion
of the 2007's Huddersfield's Contemporary Music Festival.
As the author himself writes, this performance “blurs
the boundaries between composition, improvisation and
indeterminacy”. Yet, somehow it appears like a preconceived
score, each element masterfully placed in a chain of happenings
whose common denominator is something that could only
be described as “vital flow”.

STEIM IN NEED OF SUPPORT!!!
STEIM's
support is being threatened...read this and write an email
to help keep this great institution open!
From
Steim:
Things are not well at STEIM. We are in the danger of
losing our structural funding from the government, based
on a review from the advisor board which called us "closed
and only appealing to a niche audience". The outlook
isn't exactly bleak, but at the moment our future is unclear.
In the meantime we've submitted our response to the Council
for Culture, accompanied by the more than 900 support
letters and emails.
Many thanks to all of you who responded! If you'd still
like to show your support, you can do so
here.

The
Fog gets a Blog!
Dedicated
to exploring the hazy realms of experimental music, this
2 hour weekly program focuses on sound art and experimental
music from the past, present, and near future. Interviews,
live studio sessions, underground detritus, found recordings,
live electronics, field recordings, and even an occasional
blues track will find themselves blurred together by prof_lofi
into a mixed bag of the bizarre.
