In timp ce Brian Eno mestereste o aplicatie de facut ambient pe iphone, Paul Slocum i-a luat cateva idei si s-a pus pe facut un soft (si o instalatie la Dunn and Brown Contemporary) care genereaza techno dupa un algoritm in care introduce, ca element aleator, zecimale de-ale lui pi. Ceea ce rezulta este the mother of all techno producers, o sursa de techno infinita si etern schimbatoare. Omul a pus la download o bucata de o ora pentru cei cu mai putina rabdare si un torent de 10 ore pentru pasionati. In curand da drumul si softului.
“The software progressively calculates the sequence of digits in pi, starting at 3.14 and progressing towards infinity. As the program calculates the digits, it feeds the results into an algorithmic music generator containing my structural criteria for house music. The resulting piece of house music is infinitely long and static and never repeats itself.”
“Yes yes oh yey! Norway’s very own Todd Terje, the third component of the holy triumvirate of space-disco (the other two being Prins Thomas and Lindstrom) will be spinning in Bucharest”

“They are called the The Vegetable Orchestra, they are from Vienna and they use musical instruments made out of vegetables: Using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own extraordinary and vegetabile sound universe. The ensemble overcomes preserved and marinated sound conceptions or tirelessly re-stewed listening habits, putting its focus on expanding the variety of vegetable instruments, developing novel musical ideas and exploring fresh vegetable sound gardens. The music represents an isomorphism of electronic music and the structure of the sounds produced by the vegetables. The concept of this remix project is the interpretation and reconstruction of electronic music with organic means by using the original vegetable sounds and samples. Karmarouge Records has invited well respected international artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Gabriel Ananda, Frank Martiniq, Oliver Hacke, Märtini Brös, Anja Schneider, Basteroid and Sian to take part and create their individual vegetable sound interpretation. Armed with vegetable samples, a sequenzer and a hand-held blender, it’s up to them to show the world how to brew a large portion of minimal techno out of ginger, leek and onions, how to buzz the pumpkin bass and cook a delicate celery soup. Listen to the vegetables!”
Cabaret Voltaire este o serie de evenimente ce vor avea loc la Cabaretul din Floreasca si care aduce DJ si trupe excelente si iesite din tiparul petrecerilor de la noi. Nu sunt nume care sa rupa inima targului la prima auzire, dar asta e numai vina targului. Locul a primit destule crtitici dar pare a-si dori sincer schimbarea. Cu un asemenea line-up sper sa atraga oamenii potriviti care sa-l trashuiasca indeajuns cat sa il faca respirabil. S-a strigat diversitate!
