Second Square to None - Ten Second Rule by SSTN
The Ten Second Rule project is the first fully integrated Second Square to None project. The idea is simple: get loads of music makers to submit a ten second long piece of audio, then get other music makers to use these sounds as the basis for larger pieces of music, for example a live set.
I've written about it more here, so won't go on and on about it on this blog.
I have two tracks in the collection : one credited to Ed Devane and one to Withering Zithering. Currently I'm using images generated from highly processed and subsequently transcoded Ten Second Rule audio files as the basis for visuals which I will play on Sunday 25-10-09 while Fyodor makes the noise. You can view a really rough, jerky, and as it has been pointed out to me, 80's-looking, example of this here:
I've a lot of work to do still so don't be surprised if that's a dead link in a few days when I have something better up there...
FYED mix on Second Square to None
FYED @ SSTN
Here's a set we did for Second Square to None in August. Processes and improvisation combined to make a half hour long blend of sounds and moods. Hope y'all like...
The artwork is a scan of a pencil drawing I did a while back, messed around with a little in PhotoShop.
Track on Dublin Electronic Arts Festival CD
As far as I know the DEAF launch is on this evening in the Sugar Club, and the booklet with CD will be given away on the door.
There'll be 40 acts on the 2 discs apparently, and I'm one of them. I submitted a track called "Klatter" off my forthcoming album on Man Trap Recordings, something that may or may not have been included on the inlay. I had to edit the track to conform to the less than 4 minutes. Fascinating eh.
For those of you who would like to hear more beats by me (as apposed to the "noise annoys" material I like posting up all the time), there'll be a promo mix of new tunes I've made in the last few months mixed by redmonk on www.spannered.org, featuring tunes from my album and upcoming (in the next few weeks) releases on !kaboogie, Takeover Records, Stasis and Man Trap.
That is all! Oh yeh I'll be playing at the !k Club for Kaboogie in 2 weeks time, assuming the currently flooded basement of Thomas House has been restored to its former opulence

FYED
Myself and Fyodor have a project called FYED we've been doing on and off for the last year or so since the dissolution of John Mary Trilogy, the band we were in together.
We'll be playing on Sunday 25th October at Second Square to None, using material made by a large group of people for a project called the Ten Second Rule. So in order to have something for people to listen to I made yet another SoundCloud account.
Ch-ch-ch-check it out: FYED on SoundCloud
Oh yeh, we mainly do soundscape / noise / drone / improvised sort of stuff, but have plans to do different types of music in the coming months and years...

New music up on SoundCloud
Hello, I'm uploading some "new" stuff onto my free SoundCloud account. I have a feeling that will mean that you won't directly be able to hear the previous tracks I had on there but no matter.
Since finishing my album I haven't been making much music, at least not with a computer...I did however buy myself a Sonuus G2M Guitar to MIDI translator, a simple device that allows me to play synths or samplers with my zither. I've been playing the instrument a lot of late, and have made a removable fretboard for it, which opens up a whole new world of possibilities previously unavailable to me.
Currently I'm working on a new instrument, which will be a small electric harp / hammered dulcimer type instrument. I'll post pictures in a few weeks when it's done. Other than that I'm amassing a big pile of materials - metal tubes, bells, wire, mechanical components such as motors, springs, solenoids etc. for use in an as yet unthought of kinetic sound sculpture / sculptures.
