U2’s ‘No Line on the Horizon’: First impressions
Chicago Tribune United States -
Fond memories of ?Achtung Baby?-era aggression and menace with overdriven instruments and Bono wailing torn and frayed about the limitlessness of imagination in all human endeavor including the erotic. More like this please. Magnificent: Electronic percussion breaks into a gallop with Edge?s guitar ringing out. So far Adam Clayton is having a great day at the office with his bass lines. Simple statement of purpose: Love leaves you batter and bruised but it?s why we were born. Best candidate for a radio hit on the album. Moment of Surrender: Hovering organ speaker-rattling bass Bono doing his soul-singer wail.

Tech composes the music of fish
Atlanta Journal Constitution  USA -
When swimming slowed to a legato the tune would follow. Near the surface a higher pitch; near the floor lower. The Accessible Aquarium Project is just one of the innovative musical efforts under way at Georgia Tech which last fall launched a new Center for Music Technology. Researchers recently demonstrated a small electronic version of the aquarium project with a fish tank outside the Georgia Aquarium’s gift shop. The idea is for visually impaired visitors to access the experience through sound. But the program adds an auditory dimension even for those with perfect vision. Listeners can tell when a new fish enters the range what kind of fish he is and in what direction he’s moving.

Tracks live music mesh at Present Music’s concert
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel WI -
Lacking a score and a couple of days to study it I can’t tell you how Carter achieved cohesion and sustained momentum throughout the work. But I can say that I perceived the piece as a tight and energized whole. Violist Renzelman stepped up for a virtuoso turn in Nico Muhly’s 2005 "Keep in Touch" also with an electronic track which in this case includes bits of bluesy song stylings by Antony Hegarty. A chaconne – a set of repeating chords – recurs often and sort of holds the piece together. But Muhly piles on cadenza-like tangents in both the recorded and live parts. "Keep in Touch" for all its explicit Baroque discipline leans more toward the Romantic and fantastical.

Think Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’ but with way mellower hooks. This is the perfect show for rock fans. You get three slightly different types of rock on the same show and it’s all very welll done. FEBRUARY 27th Noise Pop Happy Hour with.

I was one scared ass that night. To this very day I don’t do trains. AAJ: How did an interest in woodworking and furniture building lead to your first discovery of electronic music? Woodworking and furniture building was something you did in the evenings while you worked on the railroad during the day. AK: ne day in Dallas Texas around about the year 1992 while looking for a place of business that sold woodworking equipment I stumbled across another place of business in the location of the shop I was looking for. The place of business turned out to be a company that sold pianos that were hooked up to the computer. Being fascinated by the personal computer since its introduction to the public in the early 80s and already being recognized for years among family and friends as being a pretty good singer I was immediately drawn in to this new way to me of making music. And ever since that day I have been creating my music.
