NMATAPE 9, the penultimate in Shame File Music’s reissue of these seminal compilations, is now available for free download or on CDR from http://ShameFileMusic.com

 

Of particular interest here is Ross Bolleter’s “That Time (Simulplay II)”.  Bolleter is perhaps best known for his work with ruined pianos, but here he composed a piece for two improvising players on opposite sides of the Australia to be played simultaneously without being able to hear the other, as an exploration of synchronicity.  Bolleter’s accompanying article on the concept of the piece from NMA 9 is linked from the web site.

 

Other names of interest here include Alan Lamb, Lindsay Vickery and Jonathan Mustard.

 

NMATAPE 10, the final in the series, will be available in a few weeks.

 

Also new to the Shame File Music catalogue:

 

• Baka Tatakau “1^st” CD – collaboration between Brisbane’s Joe Musgrove & Daiji Igarash AU$12ppd (US$9ppd)
• Lloyd Barrett “Mise En Scene” CD - unique sound compositions based on theories of filmic sound, that range from starkly alien to all embracing AU$20ppd (US$15ppd)
• Robin Fox & Clayton Thoms “Substation” CD – two of Australia’s best contemporary improvisers, on live processing and double bass respectively; a must have AU$20ppd (US$15ppd)

 

Cheers,
