W. David Oliphant

Image
The most recent video from W. David Oliphant ( Maybe Mental , Life Garden , Bastard Kings Of Samedhi , etc.) includes some samples from my "500" album/sample collection! Have a look below: I first heard David's Maybe Mental project sometime in the early 90s (a decade after it had been released) and became an instant fan. However, I knew almost nothing about him and did not follow any of his other projects (although, I was aware of Life Garden). Not surprisingly, Mr. Oliphant has produced a large body of interesting work over the last four decades and a bit. I just didn't know about it. Fortunately, that error has been corrected! David and I have been getting to know each other via email recently and, thanks to his website and Bandcamp, I've been able to explore many of his art and music activities past and present! Great work! I highly recommend visiting https://wdavidoliphant.wixsite.com/movescreamsing/store and digging in deep! - W.A.Davison

Pedro Bericat/Mute Sound

Image
I have a track on the most recent "1 Minute Autohypnosis" compilation from Mute Sound in Spain. "1 Minute Autohypnosis #59 Trash" is not available on the Mute Sound website yet but I expect it will be soon. You can write to Mute Sound/Pedro Bericat and inquire about physical copies. His contact info is available on his website. Speaking of which, the Mute Sound website is well worth visiting! Bericat is a fascinating artist who has been producing work in a variety of media (painting, installation, video, performance, sound and mail art) for many decades. Definitely check out what he's been up to! You can also listen to and/or download all of the previous "1 Minute Autohypnosis" compilations on the site. https://www.mutesound.org/ - W.A.Davison

R.I.P. Paul Dutton

Deeply saddened to hear that Paul Dutton has died. He was a dear friend and one of my most valued on-stage collaborators. It is a tremendous loss to the arts in Canada and internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dutton h ttps://actuellecd.com/en/artiste/dutton_pa https://grainmagazine.ca/news/interview-with-paul-dutton https://youtu.be/bnIWW1tY6v4?si=xcakGDvaJ_q1Aa2Q https://youtu.be/d7YS9IKhZGo?si=daLNzzrZIe_mXeVM https://youtu.be/RedWQBU_Is8?si=xItLRLfLTlTYq2z2 https://youtu.be/th-pbiwcipI?si=EzOodAjhytdOPvGu - W.A.Davison

R\A\W F\O\R\M\S just put together a nice video document of their "Fetishism In Sound" concert series covering seven concerts from Sept. 2024 to Feb. 2025 taking place in various locations in Arnhem and Nijmegen, The Netherlands. I've been curious about these events so it was good to see some documentation. https://vimeo.com/1085408033 - W.A.Davison
