Pamelia Kurstin – Theremin workshop

2046 — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:48:25 +0000

Sci-fi, horror movies or Beach boys, what they’ll be without Theremin?
Theremin is a first synthesizer ever, built by a Russian inventor Leon guess who… Theremin . Thou first synthesizer there is nothing of that kind since now. Almost 100 years pass and the Theremin is still unique rare instrument.

I’m a Theremin lover, just like many others bewitched by its simplicity that makes the instrument so hard to be played in the western scale, but impressively creative in many other ways. There are only few people in the world who are able to master Theremin. Luckily one of them lives nearby Prague, in Vienna. Pamelia Kurstin is one of the best Theremin player in the whole rounded world. She is able masters it in the orchestral heights and still open minded to play noise gigs of any sort. She is actually virtuous noizer :)

Thanks to many circumstances she’ll have a week long Theremin workshop where she will teach Theremin. Workshop is worthy for absolute beginners as well as absolute mad virtuosos who would like to be the best Theremin players of all.

Teardrops of the sound

2046 — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:38:29 +0000

What is important on a sound is not it’s uniqueness, but that it is something deeply known. Something that is part of your experience already. Something that has been inside of you the whole time, only this time it is closer to the water table so you can “see” it. It is like a fish in the ocean, You might not see it your whole life, buts it inevitably part of the ocean.

The “Touch the sound” documentary is just about that. About a sound we carry within our selves. It is definitely something you have to hear.

Tune up to sound diggers

The rest is noise

2046 — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:19:56 +0000

I dropped acidentaly in the book store where I found a pretty thick and heavy book “The rest is noise“. It took some time till I pick the book in my heand turn aside a bike for a while and started to read. I must say, it is interesting to go through the sound history the way the book offers.. though it is hard to .. impossible to “visualize” the sound that you read about.. still it has a big inpact on the way I started to think of sound and listen to it.

Those who don’t want to wait till the book arrives, check the sound patterns on Alexe’s site http://www.therestisnoise.com

Kyklos Galaktikos: “Axis of the good”

2046 — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:45:22 +0000

Another bunch of weirdos, The Kyklos Galaktikos. This group is a theatre-gallery based group who spend most of their time under the stage light or radiated by latest and biggest apple monitors. Personally I like the first song the most (for now). It is made out of famous serial “Navštěvníci”. The intro of that serial I just a perfect personification of the future. And so Kyklos Galaktikos has the futuristic message.

Those who wanna know more about this group check their site, it is full of interesting stuff, mainly the stuff from their performances….meanwhile, listen to our online stream the Axis of good is running through its veins.

… One thing I have to pointed out, is that I do not like how the sound like if they just fall of the ROXOR ass.

Something new again

2046 — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 17:37:54 +0000

..ages, ages, ages, I know, It has been ages since I have posted something new in here.

This time will touch a bunch of unknown musicians like Tapeworm Collective, Three forks, Jalikebba & the Toubabs, Ajujatronik and hand full of home recordings.
Check them out, they all share music as free as the smell of tobacco, so you pay nada to Itunes or any store.
Make a tee and listen.
