Were you paying attention? I wasn't. Back in early 2023, Joe Strutt posted some audio clips and commentary documenting the appearance of The Electronoise Orchestra (a one-off grouping of Mike Hansen, Connor Bennett, Joe Strutt, and William Davison ) at the Tranzac in Dec. 2022 (curated by Nilan Perera ). At the bottom of the post, some links to videos shot by Mike Filippov were included. I somehow missed these at the time. As Joe mentions, the videos are not embeddable. They're also not searchable in Google, and they are not linked to from Mike Filippov's Vimeo channel. Perhaps these were only intended to be private links. I'm not sure. At any rate, I'm following Joe's lead and posting the links anyway, they're too good not to be shared. https://vimeo.com/780559034/5c11e06748 https://vimeo.com/780567358/868c4b29dc https://vimeo.com/780568838/f0baae36d5 https://mechanicalforestsound.blogspot.com/2023/01/recording-electronoise-orchestra.html - W.A.Dav...

Quick update on some recent album appearances. James Bailey and I have a collaborative track on the "Bandcamp 200" various artists album published by Neal Retke , a.k.a. {AN} EeL , to mark his 200th album on Bandcamp. https://panpanpanaviandistresscall.bandcamp.com/album/bandcamp-200 I have a solo track as Songs of the New Erotics on the recent "Participatory Universe" compilation from Shaun Robert's Institute For Alien Research label. https://ifarmusiqueconcretecompilation.bandcamp.com/album/participatory-universe And I'm very happy to see the reissue of irr. app. (ext.) 's 2008 album "Aspiring To An Empty Gesture, Volume 1" which is a collection of irr. app. (ext.) live performances from the mid-2000s. The Recordists (myself and S.Higgins ) appear on all of the Toronto-recorded tracks (along with a certain Mr. Stapleton from a band you are likely familiar with). https://irrappext.bandcamp.com/album/aspiring-to-an-empty-gesture-...
