Gamelan Son of Lion's instruments were made by
composer-ethnomusicologist Barbara Benary and resemble
gamelans (metal-orchestras) found in Indonesian villages.
The set of instruments consist of about twenty gongs and
metallophones (played like xylophones, with mallets) and
are supplemented by an assortment of flutes, drums,
hubcaps and specially tuned clarinets. The ensemble was
founded in 1976 by Benary and composers Philip Corner
and Daniel Goode together with students of theirs.
Eventually professional musicians took the place of the
students and the repertoire of the ensemble has grown from
4 contemporary pieces in 1976 to more than 250 as of 1997.

Now that traffic on this list has dwindled down to an absolute trickle,
maybe we should consider redefining the focus a bit.  It saddens me to
see the list that has turned me on to so many great records wither while
so much is happening in music.  Why not enlarge the list of acceptable
topics to something more in keeping with the name of the list?  If this
is really the new music list, why not discuss all kinds of new music,
without worrying about genre boundaries?

I'm imagining a list where I could discuss PSF, Stereolab, Broadcast, or
Tortoise, the handful of IDM artists that are really pushing the
envelope, recent Post-Classical music, new third world musics - ANYTHING
genuinely creative.  I'm much less interested in focusing on any one
genre than I am on tracking down the 5% of great stuff in as many genres
as I can. I realize that there is a large divergence of opinion of what
constitutes "new", but I have faith in the members of this list. If
everyone makes an effort to write real reviews or at least carefully
written opinions, we should be able to keep traffic down to a reasonable
level and leverage all the expertise on the list to everyone's mutual
benefit.

I think the nm-list has rather a structural problem than a topic problem.
"nm-list" means "no members", not "new music".

IMHO the topics discussed here have no boundaries. e.g. the name
of the list is interpreted differently often like "noise music list"
or "nude madonna list" or however.

this list has become active because there are not enough new subscribers.
more topics will pop up with the number of subscribers increasing.

In order to attract more subscribers the existance of this list simply
must be announced. up to my knowledge it is even not mentioned on
the xmission homepage.

I am fine with the current state, but a structural improvement seems
only to be possible if we find a new home for this list.
the people at xmission seem not to care much for the list, an why should they?
but I think advertising the existance of this list is more important
than finding a new server where it resides. but just for a chance:
is anybody able to provide a new reliant server??

The more traffic we have on this list, the more trash will
be contained in this traffic. is there anybody interested in
performing some propaganda? is there anybody against it?
I offer start some propaganda if the current members of the list like it.
e.g. creating some extra hompeage could help.

As someone who joined the list a few months back I have been
dissapointed by the level of information coming through. I don't
actually know what exactly the scope of the list is but, if density of
traffic is any measure of enthusiasm, there obviously ain't much to talk
about. I agree with doing away with genre boundaries., Surely part of
the attraction of any type of new music is it's willingness to cross
boundaries?

You could add to that improv artists such as Derek Bailey, the rest of
the Japanese underground (outside of PSF I mean), 'post rock' outfits
like Gastr del Sol, experimentalists such as David Jackman, crossover
'composer/improvisers' like John Zorn and Fred Frith, sound collagists
like Barbed and People Like Us, sampler composers like David Shea and
John wall... the potential is endless.

By the way, what's 'new' about Stereolab that Neu didn't do years ago?

Weight of traffic need not be a problem if people are conveying
something useful. Is there a ban on expressing your self on this list or
what?

So, who's going to begin then?

Um, most of the above has already been discussed at one time or another,
believe it or not (does anybody remember The Slint Thread That Refused To
Die?).  The real problem likely isn't some sort of limitations on topics,
but more probably either a lack of people ("nm = no members") or a lack of
fresh ideas and sense of excitement.  On the distribution front, I've
certainly noticed that the interest level in most of those folks mentioned
above has dropped off markedly in the last couple of years.  The stores
aren't nearly as excited about carrying the stuff, and that's probably a
reflection of the interest, or lack thereof, shown by their customers.
These things tend to run in cycles after all, and we may just be on the
downward side of the curve until the next wave of interest hits.

    Agreed; I've probably been on nm-list for something like 6-7 years and
it's a pity to see it so dead. But honestly, I get so much damn mail it's
hard to fathom asking for more. Still, it would be great to see the nm-list
thriving again.

    I haven't look at the charter/description for a while, but I agree that
it could be misleading if it hasn't been updated for a while. Seems like
noise was getting a lot of mention until difficult-l siphoned those topics
away and nothing's popped up to take its place. All your topic suggestions
are great, and let my lead folks into a topic new:

    INTERNET RADIO: Anyone listening? What are you listening to? All you
need is a 28.8 modem and you've got shitloads of great stuff out there to
hear. I'm listening to Brave New Waves on the CBC right now
(www.radio.cbc.ca); it's on midnight to 4am EST every weeknight and has a
great selection of music somewhere between alternative and experimental.
    Other great stations you can hear (look 'em up in Yahoo to get the
address if I don't include it): WFMU (YES! Finally! www.wfmu.org), GoGaGa
(www.gogaga.com), KZSU, KUSF, WCSB, WRCT, KDVS. Anything I missed? WCSB and
WRCT have interesting gone with AudioActive instead of RealAudio and it
sounds TONS better.

new doesn't have to mean fantasically uniquely stunningly orginal, it can
mean new including the senses of renew and refashion in a forward-looking
manner - and anyway part of the fun is arguing over whether something is
new or not or what and even if it is unarguable "new" it can still be crap

most (all) new work stems from some tradition or combination thereof

Stereolab have connections to Neu and about a thousand other bands, this
hardly negates their work - I'm not saying that everything that Sterolab
does is brilliant - it ain't - but seems pretty clear to me that they've
earned their spurs as far as "new" goes

I've been on this list for more than five years, and there certainly
never used to be a lack of members or excitement.  I think those who
have suggested that part of the problem is that much of the music that
has been the focus of this list for the past few years is now covered by
more specific lists.  In my mind, this makes the idea of expanding the
list of topics for the nm-list even more appealing.  I also agree that a
bit of promotion wouldn't hurt, although the list has always been fairly
low-profile.  How many people are on the list now anwyay?

Michael's point that the focus of the list has never been explicitly
defined is well taken.  I can remember several debates of this very
subject and I recall that most people seemed to prefer to define it very
loosely.  I think it would be fair for those of us interested in
discussing a broader list of music to just start doing it.  Maybe as a
group we can evolve some kind of consensus?
I'm going to try to post a list of reviews of records that I think fit
the bill some time this week (if I can get away from work for five
minutes).

As for Stereolab, most of the elements of their style are fairly
familiar, but I've never heard them combined before.  Combining old
styles in new ways ought to qualify as new also, IMO.  This kind of
discussion could also be useful, i.e. "if you think x is new you should
first listen to y,z.", as long as it's friendly.

Well then here's what I've been listening to at work today.

For those of you who already own the Roger Woodward version of Xenakis'
"Kraanerg" and are staring at the new DJ Spooky re-recording misfiled in
the ambient section at Tower with a slightly baffled or pained expression,
I will go on record saying that the project actually ended up providing a
decent alternative to the 1988 version.

The engineering on the new record is clearly superior.  Much higher dynamic
range, i.e. the horns much brighter, the searing string sections really cut
into you, etc.  Xenakis' 1969 electro-acoustic pre-recorded tape reveals
details that were just not there on the 1988 recording, where it just comes
across as a rumbling bass attack.  In fact, flipping back and forth between
them, it sounds like the 1988 concert was recorded with two microphones
hanging over the stage, catching all the instruments with the tape playing
over the speakers, all the high frequencies swallowed by room ambience,
whereas on the new one Xenakis' tape sounds directly mixed with the orchestra.

DJ Spooky (Paul D. Miller) is credited with manning the quadrophonic ADAT,
so if he's indeed responsible for the engineering, then he's done some
pretty good work.  Perhaps the playing is a little more exact, tighter on
the original than on this new one, which is three minutes longer.  But
again this could be a case of me being over-familiar with the version I
heard first.

No liner notes on how they approached this recording, just DJ Spooky
writing about Xenakis' music and briefly mentioning his influence on DJ
culture.  When he's not opening for U2 or collaborating with Metallica he
can actually write some very respectful copy.

Well, on a perverse turn, perhaps you could let everyone up here in the
ivory tower know what is actually moving units in the age of pop Beck,
irrr.  Me, I thought Stereolab were monolithic pop superstars, and now I
learn that they actually aren't.  I must grow up.

If anyone "in charge" is reading this, i would suggest entering the list to the

Date: 18 Jul 1997 12:50:18 +0100 (BST)


I've been listening to some interesting items recently.
Firstly a cd by Le Sculpteurs de Vinyl -- "Memory & Money".  It is in fact
Otomo Yoshihide (Ground Zero) with 3 French hip-hop djs, and a few others --
Matsubaro (?) from GZ, and Tom Cora & Catherine Jainiaux feature too.

The cd is a crazed take on hip-hop, splicing in lots of other sounds and
generally lurching about from one idea to another in great style.

Secondly, David Shea/DJ Grazzhoppa -- "Down river, up stream".  David shea
brings his sampling talents to meet the hip-hop scratching of grazzhoppa.  This
is much closer to being a hip-hop album than sample manipulation, but really
the boundary between the two is blurred.

Anyway, i was wondering, can anyone give me any pointers as to other artists
who are doing anything interesting, in this sort of area?

I think it's interesting how it has been left to these "experimental" artists
to  exploit the possibilities of hip-hop.  Most so-called experimental hip-hop
or "trip-hop" (aaargh!) is deeply disappointing.  The closest i've heard to the
likes of the above is Andre Gurov on the Jazz Fudge label.

Actually, i think that anyone who uses the word "trip-hop" should be beaten
with a large club, but let he who's never sinned cast the first stone......

Remember the "Judgment Night" soundtrack -- metal and rap bands
collaborating?  Well, the soundtrack to "Spawn" will be something
similar, only pairing metal(-oid) bands up with more "electronic"
kinda bands.

Some examples:

Kirk Hammett & Orbital

DJ Spooky's remix of Earth's Crooked Axis for String Quartet is about the
only listenable thing on Sub Pop's new foray into 'electronica', the Sweet
Mother: Free Activation Series No. 1 compilation. And while not exactly
metal, his remixes of Arto Lindsay on Hyper Civilisado are very nice.
Basically, I think he could remix just about anybody and make them
interesting. The Pat Boone remix project anyone?

>Henry Rollins & Goldie (yeah!!)

This sort of makes sense, given that they both tend to be motormouths...

Yes it does say 'mix engineer' after xopher's name doesn't it... forgive me

Has anyone heard the last few Sub Rosa releases?  I've read good things
about the new Silk Saw album and there's been another demi-techno sort
of record as well.  The two Bisk albums impress me more with every spin
- dense, intricate, evolving music with roots in IDM but with
sophistication and technique that I haven't heard anywhere else in the
genre.

 I haven't heard this one in particular, but the stuff of Doyle's I've

In my opinion We are probably the best of the NY illbient mob - mainly
because they understand how to produce a crackingly good beat.

Just listen to the first track on "as is" ("magnesium flares") for some
of the biggest jungle beats you'll hear for a while (no LTJ Bukem

> Talking as i was about turntable manipulators, what about christian marclay

christian marclay has done stuff like nowadays "illbient" artists
more than a decade ago. he is one of the few who started as
underground avantgarde artists and have became darling of the art scene.
he mainly does exhibitions nowadays, .e.g. on the last biennale.

I have seen live both christian marclay and dj spooky, and IMHO
christian is much more interesting. he used modified 3 turntables
and some modified flea-market records. some of these records
were "preperad": he broke records into pieces and glued these
pieces to a new record. his performance blew me away.

to be honest, his "visible" works did not impress me. don't
expect to hear sound on one of his exhibitions.

> i've heard a few compilation tracks, but his records seem to be hard to get.

my favourite recording is his duo with guenter mueller on guenters
own swiss label "for 4 ears" called "christian marclay + guenter mueller"

the only "DJ" I've seen so far as fascinating as christian marclay
is otomo yoshihide, but otomo has a much more violent approach.

If you are looking for "DJ's" who produced sound years ago
nowadays labeled as illbient you might check out frank schulte
and his band "sugarconnection". frank also was on the biennale
or the documenta .... and he also organises concerts in cologne.
e.g. he organised the first faust reunion concert.

The label is Stupeur et Trompette. (France, i presume)
It was released sometime this year.
It's available through ReR in the UK.
I highly recommend it, it's one of the best records i've heard all year.

Date: 31 Jul 1997 13:47:58 -0500


I'm trying to do a little investigation into the status of the
nm-list.

On the one hand, the list is up and running:

  - You can send messages out to the list.
  - Digests continue to be sent out.
  - The list archives continue to accumulate at
    <ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/lists/nm-list/>.

But on the other hand, the list doesn't really exist anymore:

  - It doesn't appear in the output of the "lists" command
    from [e-mail].
  - You can't subscribe to it or unsubscribe from it as far
    as I can tell.
  - All that ever gets posted here is for-sale lists and
    concert promos :-).

So what I'm wondering is:

  - Does anyone know if there is a current list admin?
  - Does anyone remember the name of the last list admin?
    Wasn't it Pete something?  Or was it Michael Murphy?
  - Has anyone been able to successfully either subscribe
    to or unsubscribe from the list in the past year or
    so?

If anyone can help with any of these questions, please let me know.
I'll report back to the list.

If no admin can be located, then we should consider contacting the
administrators of xmission.com and have them either restore the list
to full functionality or shut it down entirely, with the hopes that
someone would see fit to start it up again somewhere else.  Any
volunteers, if it comes to that?

Pining for the old days (ca. 1990-1993) of the nm-list, before
everyone dispersed onto the various private mailing lists that you
didn't just hear me mention,

FYI,

The Record Labels on the Web page has moved. It's now located at
http://www.arancidamoeba.com/labels.html.

If you've never visted the Record Label page before, well, it's an
attempt at a comprehensive list of links to all the record label
sites on the web (I was dumb enough to think it would be an easy
task when I started it 2.5 years ago). It's currently at about
2400 links and I've got several hundred more URLs waiting to be
added (dead links are removed biweekly). Feel free to email me any
additions, updates, or corrections.

I know the president of xmission, Pete Ashdown, pretty well.  I'll ask
him what's up with the list.  I suspect he's forgotten it even exists.

I know what you mean.
