Conference & Festival for Digital Culture | For the second time we teamed up with friends in Cologne to organise another Cologne Commons. This year our slogan is be shareful! and we opened the focus on digital culture in general. We invite you to come to our wonderful city from 10th to 12th of June 2010.
We offer you three days of knowledge and culture. The curtain falls with the cinema evening at thursday showing you some of the finest creative commons movies around. On friday and saturday we open your mind and share ideas, knowledge and discuss the future of copyrights, the print media or the state of privacy during our conference. While all speeches and discussions will be in english, we have one special panel for you with your favorite netaudio heroes. We called it "Hello world, my name is Netaudio!". In the evening we invited once again musicians from all over Europe, even from Chile, South America to rock the music festival.
Minimal Ambient | A tiny EP is stolen from a blog called "Dust Breeding" which I love a lot. These terribly short however mesmerizing sketches of minimal Ambient and musical processing of environmental noise are something I come back to on a regular basis. As the title already suggests, "For Friends This Winter" is quite an intimate thing, and evertime I listen to it it feels a bit like stalking someone.
How to make a foreign song your own | Friends, Bettina Rhymes is back to the review biz! Let us celebrate this return to form with a WONDERFUL little gem of a Pop record: Montag aka Antoine Bédard is a well-decorated Canadian songwriter who delivers five coverversions of 80s/ 90s Indiepop that will crack your stony hearts. Alas!
The Love for Fractals | Some months ago I got this wonderful and experimental video clip from Phonocake. The clip explores the deepness of mathematics and combines the theory of numbers with an atmospheric soundtrack released by the netlabel itself.
Techno Blast | Phlow proudly presents in cooperation with DJ Meeting our first and free creative commons techno compilation. We digged our harddisc and collected the very best from the past and the very best of the presence. The cream on top of our compilation is an exclusive track by Sudio. Sudio remixed one of his tracks and infused even more adrenaline into "Sonic Impact".
Tribute to Pop | The album Numbskull by Lord Lumb is an unashamed celebration by an artist of his heroes. With name checks going to David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, his Lordship lays his cards of inspiration on the table within the first few lines of the opening track “I Dream Of Bowie”. This excellent piece of bouncing electronic pop rock, the result I am told of a dream about David Bowie, sets the scene for an album that is crammed with refreshing songs whose origins in the electronic music of the late 1970s is clear.
