Abstract Sound Recording’s Weblog

Yeah, expensive solutions for a free world : great sound design , experiements in full stereo ! and more psychadelic music to come direct to your hears in full great quality mp3 download. Great software design is inspiring for creating and giving birth to brand new sound, the concept in abstract/cocnrete recordings had  been to simulate or recreate the athmosphere of a huge lightning storm coming with electricity all above of our heads. Yeah no need for acid trips, the hippie will anyway live forever, the sound is maybe the ultimate trip, the mind programme, this is it the ultimate drug trip of sound and orgy of electric guitars smashing against the amps or washing slowly waving away at the amp like Kim Gordon sang on the free kitten album, or in extatic peace making a sound with the guitars or playing the guitar like it had been a classic rock instruments from the 60’s to now on in rock music, the sexiest instrument of all the more versatile and tuned up into so many different directions that offer the songwritting and the palying of instruments. The music on abstract/concrete is a drug, not an harmless drug, an ambien pill, just close your eyes and listen, a way of relaxing chemically the brain is producing those molecules of happiness and pleasure while you love the sound which is played. yes we love the sound of electric guitars and ind a new way of using it. the technology brings to the people so much power, is it reasonnable ?

With a personal computre you can do so much than just produce, you can send your brain waves all around the worl in the form of digital music, free of charge in duplication, is what in my view, the artists appreciate and the listeners too, for us small producer of great sound, which are broken about money mostly spend on transforming ideas and colors into sound on a sound surface, we truly think that the digital media, this specific paranoia from the record industry is the liberation of the masses, and the fact that copy is free cause the fact that we have less expensives way of duplication to perform, so we have in mind to perform our sound the WWW takes care of the rest, the broadcasting, the difusion direct from our abstract home here in france, directly from our brains through sattelite trasmittion to anywhere in the world

Wherever you are you can catch our sound waveform coming to your brain. To be realistic SU people, internet friends told me that this music was really a kind of hypnotic sequence that could induce even sleep and that can be played while reading or any other cerebral activiti. I took this as a great compliment of value and a great advice that will guide me through the way I try to run ASR for now several years. the production of the LP, this long daydreaming of sound surface spinning on 33 visualising the project the shape of the disc, the label spining and all was really a sacred trip but very expensive, it is if you think you can fly in dreaming and try do this for real.

New 3 x LP release has been put on parts to download directly recorded from the LP record. The 3x LP project was as well a true daydreaming, to press this kind of music on LP, the silence that occurs in the playback of the discs, the rain recording made in real-time with microphones at my window, car passing by from time to time, the sound was mixed in riaa technqiues, a lot of 60H, not much high freq. recorded on a MD tape filled with this edited 57 minutes version of the title The EndOf time.

For LP ct the sound has been separated on two parts, same thing for A Free Peace Of Sky/Sky Piece the tracklistings from CD to LP are differents.

internet offers to us the power to duplicate this sound project for free by mp3 download of the full albums even if we have on stock 1 copie in dubplate and a limited 500 edition of LP, maybe a 250 copies of 7 inch two tracks from Outtakes.

The sound files of outtakes are so huge that we need a new hard disk to put them on, gigabites of musical data that some could be treated with new techniques and give a brand new sound, including possibilities with Dolby Digital 7.1 and 5.1 for release on DVD Audio or Digital Format sound file surely enough available ont he web as a wav file to download. The 500 limited edition LP of Outtakes is still available on the blog at Media where you can buy with Paypal if you have already an account you don’t have to write the complete number of your credit card for more security so hope you will trust this world wide system that works very well, still we have a bunch of releases on CD, LP and soon DVD to sell out through the site including Lp of Outtakes many Cds from Mat’s Trip, digital downloads are available for free including highly remastered Side C unreleased of the Outtakes LP original project as three sided LP.

More downloads soon as soon as we explore the sound archives of the concrete artists which have recorded hours of digital tape and many MD, new systems explore the ability to record with better quality in home studio specially the new softwares, so we are kind of over equiped for a home studio with many too much recording gear and equipment and expensive sound solutions and various audio solutions too. We are not looking for a new band to produce but you can send your demo to us if you are interested in being broadcasted through the World Wide Web, which is our new way of distributing music lately and it works pretty well that many people comes to see the website project much more than people who actually buy the LP records, unbelievable. So send us your tapes if you want and perform in ambient or hardcore punk. A remix of us had been made by PorchCat and is definitively the winner of our sound remix contest with only one song posted so far but a good one.

The special trip is on, the amps are turned up, the phones are running, the lights are switching with colors the design in the night of the light of the sound signal is so beautiful with slow motion of camera and sound recording effect number thirteen 13 the number written in red lights the reverberations the movements of the sound the moment you slipped on the ground the noise the melting of genres a Kerouac book on the bed great explosion in the mind with strange lightning on the outside the sound patterns represent a live painting the music itself is captured in this instant by what the people expect of a static time make it infinite peace and slow motion movements respect to the writters of freedom those who knew what was going on before us and try to warn us al of the states of things in their great paranoid times speaking and imagining scenes in slow motion in red light visions of space and time all stucked in this time, this magic lenght, this space programme
