hymen records update
new releases on hymen records:
ORPHX. CIRCUITBREAKING. CD / 12"LP. HYMEN ¥738 / ¥047
a ph.d. candidate in environmental politics at toronto’s york university, rich
oddie revels in the interplay between politics, theory, and music, and plies all
three into the fabric of his new album for hymen, circuitbreaking. hymen will
release two versions: the full-length cd will include 10 tracks, where the
arrangement consists of thematic, melody-driven pieces punctuated by precision
experimental electronics that range in timbre from the textural calamities of
akira rabelais and autopoieses’ noise patterns to the tone-pulse configurations
of ryoji ikeda and carsten nicolai’s microtonal minimalism. titled “circuit
I-V,” these almost interstitial pieces buffer stark, techno-infused tracks like
“signal to noise,” which with its riveting electro overtones and ceaseless crisp
bass pulses brashly acknowledges its debt to the detroit underground.
“simulacra” and “simulacrum” share strong ties to laptop glitch and rhythmic
noise, both spinning around a shared sequence of unchan!
ging tone sounds and downtempo industrial beats. and if one track on
circuitbreaking wears its political orientation on its sleeve, it’s “critical
mass,” a martial beat pattern with jeering crowd noise that’s equal parts berlin
techno and “join in the chant” by nitzer ebb. as full of musical variety as it
is, circuitbreaking nevertheless succeeds in conveying a singular conceptual
theme, one which lies at the heart of people’s connections with one another.
hymen encourages you to perform your own circuitbreaking wherever and whenever
the need arises.

SA4QE / Hoban Day 2004
forwarded from the-kraken list, yet another attempt to make people become curious and read some russell hoban.....
Dear Krakenites,
As the Kraken's anointed Mincer for SA4QE Documentation, Dave has asked
me to announce this year's event. For those of you not familiar with this, it
started in 2002 when the group was thinking of a suitable way of commemorating
Russell Hoban's birthday on 4th February (which, you'll no doubt know, is this
Wednesday). Founding Krakenista Diana Slickman proposed the following:
"I propose that we each, on February 4, write our favorite passage, of
any length, from any RH book on a piece of yellow paper, or cigarette paper, or
whatever haunts you personally, and drop it somewhere public and then walk away,
leaving chance to do the rest. I am a vehement hater of litter, so I would
recommend leaving it someplace rather than just dropping it on the ground - a
seat on the train, a table in the library, in the elevator at work, along with a
tip for your waiter, or any of a hundred thousand other places. And then we could
all send the quotes to RH, along with the time and place where they were released.
The paper should at least include the name of the book and Russell's name. Part
of me thinks it would be wonderful to leave it at that, and let the mystery of
things take it from there, let the paper find its way (or not) to some receptive (or
not) person who would then go seek out the book (or not) and become another fan (or
not). Part of me thinks it would be fine to include on the paper your e-mail or
the Kraken website address, or your home phone, or a note from you personally
about why you chose it and the occasion on which it was dropped. The more I think
about this the more excited I am about it. I like it because it is secret, and
personal, and random, and small. Of course one of us could drop a quote on the desk
of the Times literary editor, or some such, and perhaps generate a little notice.
Did I say it should be hand-written? I think it should be. It would draw more
attention, I think, that way."
This became known as the Slickman A4 Quotation Event, or SA4QE for
short. When we'd dropped our sheets of A4, we then posted the quotes, their
locations and our reasons for our choices to the Kraken for the other members to enjoy. I
then turned all this into the SA4QE website, which forms a fascinating
record of the quotes dropped by Hoban fans from literally all over the planet. (There
is a world map on the site illustrating how global the event has become.) A few
months after the site was launched, SA4QE was mentioned in the Guardian profile of
Russ, which can be read online at
http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/generalfiction/story/0,6000,845568,00.html
Once again this year I will be putting the new quotes on the site. As
before, I will make a fresh page for any new 4Qaters (pron. "fork-you-aters", n.
pl., "participants in the annual Hoban pilgrimage known as SA4QE", from the
vb. 4Qate, "fork-you-ate", "to drop a yellow paper quote") and their choices. For
any former 4Qationists who also scatter quotes this year, I will update your
existing pages.
If you're unfamiliar with the site, do please have a look around it to
get an idea of what was done in 2002 and 2003. The site is at
www.thoughtcat.com/sa4qe and the general format for the pages is as follows:
- your name
- your location and occupation
- the quote(s) you chose
- where your quote was left
- the reasons for your choice of quote and location
- a photo of yourself with your yellow paper, or your yellow paper in
its place of rest, or a yellow-paper-inspired illustration
- anything else you'd like to add (e.g. a more detailed account of your
SA4QE day, your favourite potato pancake recipe, Rubens bottom, etc.)
I should make it clear however that any info beyond your name (or a
nom-de-fork), your chosen quote and its location is entirely voluntary. In fact it's
all voluntary, but in exchange for 4Qating on 4th February, no angry lion
will visit your home.
I generate the web pages from the quotes and other info posted to the
Kraken, so there's no need to go to any special typing or formatting efforts.
However, if you have any photos to contribute please send them to
gombert@thoughtcat.com (gombert at thoughtcat dot com).
There's only a few days to go before SA4QE2004, so, if you haven't
already chosen your quote(s), to mingle Horace and Hoban, SEIZE THE AMARYLLIS NIGHT
AND DAY!
I remain,
Your faithful servant,
Richard Cooper
Online SA4QE Documentationist
-i'll be back with quotes on the appropriate day, chances are i'll even break into my reserve of unread hoban, after all if i'm saving it for a rainy day, its certainly pissing down outside.
