TELAFONICA

is any/everybody interested in going into radio skid row on the 6th of october to play live on air? there's a show on between 5 and 7 called kompaktion and they have guests each week. the station itself is a small community station which is housed in the same complex in marrickville that reverse garbage is at. anyway, let me know who's up for it.

This release is available for free download. Click here. ______________________________ released september, 2009 'The Quest For Love Aboard The Belafonte' is lead single from the album 'Love On The Second Stair'. It features the original version and three remixes. Actual Russian Brides push the track through abstract 8-bits and bouncing sub-bass. Karoshi redresses the song in his own lush chord arrangements and down-tempo groove. Telafonica recast their own track as a dark triptych with vocal cutups, abrasive grooves and bit-crushed melancholy. The single is available for free download through 4-4-2 Music. The Quest For Love Aboard The Belafonte (Single) by Telafonica

there's a write-up bout the 20th project on a new blog run by the the bridge presenters on fbi. they asked if we might be interested in posting a track on it, so i sent 'the unravelling man'. so if you head over to the on the bridge blog you can read and listen.

i thought that seing as others amongst us have their own thing, that i, too, would like to embark on a sideline solo career. here is the cover of my first album. side two is a single 20 minute track recording a freaky jam i had with myself.

david sent this over a couple of days ago... "I've made some images as a starting point for the belafonte stuff. these are not CD shaped - there not really layouts. I guess my aim was to bring through the nautical theme in some way but stick well clear of anything too twee - hence the abstract approach. I think I also had a sense of connecting to the main album title with the stepped gradient. hard to say what printing methods would make these images look better than a pile of noisey rubbish... let me know how they resonate with you. d"

david - i think this is all the text, i'll let you know if anything else comes up. the track titles are as they are as apra won't recognise multiple registrations of the same song. we are giving a percentage of the writing credits to each remixer for their version in lieu of not being able to pay them upfront, so need to register each version separately. the last sentence is so that when we send hard copies around to radio/publicity etc, they can hopefully advertise that fact - feel free to change the wording, i'm not sure i've come up with the strongest wording. +++++++++++++++ telafonica the quest for love aboard the belafonte 442-net-012 1. the quest for love aboard the belafonte 2. the quest for actual russian brides aboard the belafonte (jaunty bering sea version) 3. the quest for karoshi aboard the belafonte 4. the quest for telafonica aboard the belafonte all tracks written, performed and produced by telafonica extra production for track 2 by actual russian bride...

another awesome use of proof-reading skills....

Adrian has been politely and persistently reminding me that I have not reviewed our last gig at Sydney Uni. Everybody knows that sometimes life gets in the way of art. I have never been so excited about playing anywhere as I was about playing at Sydney Uni, my old stomping ground. I wasn't ready, however, for the huge smack of nostalgia that hit me as we stepped out of the Spacia in Manning Rd. From the corner where we played I could see at least five significant haunts of mine including the lovely lovely main quad. At 37, all the study frustration and teen frustration has eroded away and only the goodness remains. I was also surprised at the deep longing to see my brother again - my university guide, mentor and chuckle buddy. Anyway, enough about me and my sentimental episodes. Y'know what, I think we played the best ever so far - we were a machine we worked so well together, there was no other band's drum hogging the stage, the sound was clear and the mistakes were very v...

lois found this amazing remixing work and forwarded it onto me he takes traditional disney films and chops up the dialogue and tunes to make some beautifully evocative electronic pieces much of his work is freely downloadable on his last.fm page http://www.last.fm/music/Pogo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= pAwR6w2TgxY

The 20th Project is when artists write and record an entirely new piece of music in a single day (the 20th of the month) without any preparation beforehand or editing afterwards.

I also wanted to do something in a new time signature, so 7/4 it was. It's one guitar riff that has things built onto it over the course of 5 minutes. The percussion also was important - everything is in 7/4 technically, but accents are all different for each percussive things, breaking it up into 3/4+4/4, 4/4+3/4, 2/4+2/4+2/4+1/4 etc depending on what you listen to. Bec wrote the words, some of which I didn't quite get to fit naturally on first draft, but that can be fixed later. The actual 20th disc that the track finished up on includes the follo...
