Scott Smallwood - Electrotherapy CD
A CD of electronic sound compositions based on recordings of early 20th-century electrical devices, including induction coils, an ultra violet ray oscillator, a diathermy machine, and a sectorless wimshurst machine. These devices are part of Pete Barvoets private collection. (Deep Listening DL29). Listen to track 13 - "Haliwell" For more information about Pete's devices, see http://www.albany.net/~zardoz/
Compact Disc $12.00
"If you ever heard the sound of lightbulb that is near the end of its life, you may have any idea how this release sounds: the sound static electricity. That may sound simple, but Smallwood knows how to craft a very fine piece of music. Some of these pieces are downright 'industrial' - and I mean industrial in the sense of industry, not the musical term - and 'noise coming from a factory' like in 'Energex', but in other instances the statics are cut up into rhythms and even music, like in 'Sunkraft' or in 'Ropiquet'. Here Smallwood creates zombie-like techno music, more electric than Pan Sonic. Especially in these two tracks, Smallwood shows us the potential of creating 'music' out of 'noise' - and I see even possibilities of a remix project there."

Crashin' In says: ...extremely jerky, dancy, and fun. [Tyler] has made a name for himself by remixing The Faint's last album and with ...By The Trail of Dead. Suzanne Thorpe from Mercury Rev also makes a guest appearance. It sounds like Ladytron on tons of acid and speed. Cool stuff for fans of The Unicorns, Le Tigre, Les George Leningrad, Numbers, and Erase Errata. |

Evidence
Out of Town CD
The first full-length release by Evidence, features five structured improvisations recorded on stage and in the studio. Based on field recordings made during a road trip during the summer of 2002, each composition explores the acoustic and timbral eccentricities specific to each location. These are sculpted into a mix of rolling ambient planes, textural sound puzzles, articulated noises, and polyrhythmic whirlwinds, revealing and redesigning the microscopic intricacies and larger shapes of the carefully recorded soundscapes. On the Deep Listening label. DL23-2003.
54 minute Compact Disc $10.00

"Smallwood and Moore make highly effective use of the world as instrument ... the contours of actual locations melt down to a distillation of their sounding properties. [Out of Town] finds cosmic and glacial evocations in the everyday, celestial vistas in the heart of banality. First and foremost, though, it's about hearing what's actually there and opening that out to a deeper listening." -- The Wire 236 - Oct. 2003
"Out of Town is filled with magical moments as the world transforms itself in the listeners ears." -- Signal to Noise 32, winter 2004
