Issue #1 is about conspiracy theories as an artistic form, about fear and how to handle it in a society that still struggles to figure out how it deals with text and code. It also revolves around the simple and, at the same time, very complex question of an existence proof with logic and language.
Texts by Vincenzo Latronico, Laurent Schmid as well as codes and code poems.

This record of Ombra Magnetica co-edited with Activerat, goes back to a residency by Eleonora Polato at the Q-O2 in Brussels and a project that she realised there together with Jonathan Frigeri in 2016. Now the vinyl record is available, together with a beautiful text by Julia Eckhardt.

Eleonora Polato (Anita) and Jonathan Frigeri (Johnny Haway) bring to life a sounding ecosystem of scattering objects, set in vibration by transducers. This set of objects generates a ghostly sound, a thick texture of crackles, tremors, pulsations and feedbacks that merge and resonate in a captivating way.

Compilation of music played on the streets of:
Paris, Madrid, Geneva, Bogota, Istanbul, Havana, NewYork, Athens, Nepal, Basel, Berlin, L’Escala.

Calle Record is particularly interested in the contexts in which these performances take place. The place of recording, its resonances, its contaminations with the sounds of everyday life (people, animals, mechanical, industrial and natural sounds) are a key factor. These elements often give life to new and unique compositions, sometimes accidentally, which can be surprisingly innovative and which above all contextualize the music in a specific geographical, political, social and historical moment.

SOLD OUT

Source recordings were conducted in the basement at Radio Picnic headquarters in Brussels, among all the gear available, I chose to use, as I often do in my body of work, only the low tech gear I found there, such as : a broken 7’’ record player, a dusty cassette recorder with a saturation problem, a couple of broken speakers powered by two 9 volts batteries and alligator clips, an AAA battery powered transducer, 3 xylophone bars (C / G / A), a rattle egg, a barely functional Electribe drum machine, an electronic organ that buzzes due to poorly shielded external output, a home-made loop cassette tape, paper, plastic, metal and a cheap shotgun microphone with phantom power issues.

The basement is not soundproof, we can hear the outside world, its sonic print entered the recording chamber and delivered an unexpected sonic treat to my recordings. A part of the piece also features a binaural audio document of a walk through one of Brussels flea markets, perverted with a later addition of uncontrolled voltage discharges, recorded in the same basement as the rest of the piece.

To give a new attention to these sounds, I conducted a simple auditory discrimination task through the deterioration of these sounds with the addition of surface noise and static hum problems.

It is an attempt at sonic stimulation of these dying piece of “obsolete” equipement.

It is an attempt at an extreme subdivision of the aural frequencies of the objects I’ve found in that basement.

It is an attempt at exposing their primary auditory spectrum, their raw beauty.

The conference of the birds Tape

The conference of the birds Tape

The works were shown at Labo, Geneva in Summer 2009 in a internet-café style display called “Zonoff Café”. This event was organized by (hyperactive & bubbling over with ideas) Mr. Zonoff himself. All these works are now available on the DVD-Rom for Computer “Zonoff Café”, which was published in autum/winter ’09.

The wall-painting (photo on the front of this publication) was made by
Philippo Vannini based on a Zonoff design.
The DVD-ROM made by activeRat is also based on a concept developed by Zonoff for the show at LABO and is now published with our friends Zonoff and Dasein.
