Nach erfolgreicher Premiere im vergangenen Herbst, findet nächstes Wochenende (23. – 26.10) zum zweiten Mal das Festival für elektronische Künste SHIFT auf dem Basler Dreispitzareal statt. Thema der Ausgabe 2008: Record, Record – Aufzeichnen-Speichern-Verarbei ten. 281 Exabytes – das ist eine Zahl mit 18 Nullen – betrug die digitale Datenmenge 2007 und diese soll sich jedes Jahr um 60 Prozent vergrössern. Sind wir noch in der Lage solche Mengen zu verarbeiten? Wer ist überhaupt berechtigt Daten aufzuzeichnen, zu speichern, weiterverarbeiten, archivieren? Diesen Fragen widmet sich das SHIFT Festival.

Saffron Revolution is het eerste teken van het nieuwe album van Fennesz . Als het hele album zo mooi is opgebouwd als deze track dan zitten de liefhebbers weer gebeiteld. Het album heet Black Sea en staat gepland voor een release op Touch op 24 November dit jaar. Via Pitchfork .

fennesz paint it black 1998 (française version) Il est où ? Quoi ? L'art de la reprise... Dans l'autre salle. Laquelle? 129. (englikhtonian version) Where is He? Who? Cover art... [...]

Everlasting... I was having a conversation the other day with a friend in regards to reality being a personal visual medium, in terms of what we see as individuals is the reality that exists for that individual. I think that reality would be better defined as one's truth. What you believe to be real. I think that the confusion of these terms leads to social blindness, as in if someone believes that their truth is the actual reality, and no other version can exist, it is that fundamental extreme behavior that seems to be poisoning people today. Reality [...]
BIOGRAPHY Hailing from Paris via London via Istanbul, don't call our multi instrumentalist French. Born and raised in Istanbul, studied in London, and relocated to Paris in 2005, Tolga Fidan considers himself Turkish above all else. At just 14, Tolga was playing bass and guitar in post rock bands. Always drawn to xperimental music, he was taken [...]

I went to see Kung Fu Panda today with my girlfriend who is obsessed with pandas. We once visited Berlin Zoo. It was all I could do to stop her scaling the glass of the panda enclosure spiderman-style so she could get in to hug the panda. I don't know what full grown pandas do to mad humans who try to hug them, but I doubt it's hug them back. Anyway, unlike Adam who unequivocally advises against Kung Fu Panda, I liked it a lot. It is a Dreamworks animation and I half-expected their usual exhausting barrage of [...]

Holy shit, you guys, fucking LOST last night was unreal. And now the reality sets in: summer, fall and winter will all pass before the next new episode airs eight months from now. The Super Bowl will probably occur before the next new installment of LOST , and football season is still about 100 days from starting. That's fucking tragic. CNN and Career Builder have once again teamed up to create one of the all-time bonehead top ten lists. They've already conquered the "ten things not to do at work" list, which I amended [...]

If you recall, I made a promise on Monday to counter this list of ten things to stop doing in your 20s with my own list. For those of you who did not read the original post, some slut journalist who writes for the Sun Journal left me unfulfilled with her shitty, woman-centric list. I was kind of hoping she'd Google herself and stumble across my critique of her article, so that she and I could bond over our love of top tens and hatred of twenty-somethings. Then we'd totally fuck and I'd never call her. Alas, I [...]
Audiversity's weekly column, slightly modified, on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 59 MA: Waking up after drinking until three in the morning for a ten hour workday doesn't feel good. I am not as much hung over as succumbing to stumbling brain waves. It feels mostly like "Before I Leave" from Fennesz's Endless Summer , a melodic stuttering lull of a song. Maybe I can down [...]

i'd be quite content if the only thing on television was cartoons. late nights on the cartoon network, adult swim acts as a comfortable escape. its nice to be able to zone into something that doesn't require much of anything except to just relax and laugh. recently, they put together a free downloadable mixed compilation called warm and scratchy that features 14 new and exclusive tracks from bands like tv on the radio, broken social scene and the rapture. ~*~ some of my favorites.

With Labor Day just around the corner, it's hard to believe that summer is already coming to an end. It went by with a blink of an eye – almost too fast. People will soon begin to say goodbye to their summer beach and lake-houses and return home; the last of the outdoor music shows will take place; beaches will close; and barbeques will be put away until warmer weather arrives. Before you know it most of us here on the East Coast will be bundled in sweaters, jackets, hats, and scarves and another summer will become [...]

Cover art: Ryoji Ikeda "Dataplex" (Raster-Noton, 2005) The same thing happens every day. We wake up, eat breakfast, go to work or college, maybe have some fun afterwards and then go back to sleep again. It is a continuous cycle that is so familiar that we are even unaware of its existence. It provides us stability and structure and when you are right in the middle of it (which you are, right now) you hardly recognize the changes that are taking place. You are simply too close to see them. Only if you take [...]

Van Gogh, after listening to Fennesz? I'll admit I find out about a decent amount of music from the self-righteous indie behemoth known as teh p4k , even if the 2004 exit of Brent DiCrescenzo in a blaze of douche-y glory marked the end of both the height of its hedonistic excesses as well as most of what sort of made it interesting. However, the guaranteed-to-sass-your-pants news section and mildy titillating American Apparel advertisements have always kept me coming back. Every now [...]
