"An arbitrary succession of more or less irritating sounds"

Living stones



Trailing, as often before, on others' coat-tails (assuming in this case that mapsadaisical sports a tailed coat, but you know what I mean...), I stumbled back across Lithops lately. There's a lot to stumble on: that impeccable Mouse on Mars & Von Sudenfed lineage! That wry Teutonic humour! That art-world cred!
 
Anyway, delight in the whirring avant-pop of Handed (from Ye Viols, Thrill Jockey) - originally premiered at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin to accompany an exhibition by Rosa Barba and David Maljkovic, we're told. Who knew?


Well, we could have consulted the handy Jann St Werner project archive...

From which, an LMYE hack of a nicely noisy & warped extract from the man's Noisemashinetapes Archive (download them all here): Textmessage

The thing is, I'm quite short, so my coat tails can't help but drag on the ground!

Mouse on Mars soundtracking Herzog at the QEH in April - you going?

So that's why I keep tripping over them!

Yes, trying to negotiate day release for both Mouse & Fennesz (Eno/Hassell egghead showdown nixed, though): hope to grab that beer with you at one or other...
