Peter Brotzmann Tentet Interviewed
February 9, 2009 — MikeAt least, half of the Tentet are represented in this 2005 interview.
There may not be a more creative group of artists anywhere within the boundaries of any art form than those within the Peter Brotzmann Tentet. These are individuals that comprehensively understand their responsibility to art and it is only through this level of integrity and creativity that art can, and will continue to move forward. Thus, it is completely mystifying and disheartening that this group of brilliant artists from Germany, Sweden, Norway, Chicago and New York remain relatively unknown outside of avant garde circles. They have created their own dimensions of sound, their own sonority of power and intensity, with shapes of silence that collide and separate at varying levels of speed and measurements of time. They have not introduced a new language as much as they invent new universes within fields of time and space through intellect, passion and importantly, attitude.

Musique Machine Reviews
February 9, 2009 — MikeFrom Musique Machine:
Death In June – All Pigs Must Die
All Pigs Must die is a welcome reissue of Death In June’s harmonic yet schizophrenic and progressively unhinged album from 2001. It saw for the most part a return to simpler and memorable acoustic guitar, accordion, trumpet and flute song based sound, but with the odd flirtations with post-industrial sound scraping, noise matter and unhinged edgers.Haino Keiji/Yoshida Tatsuya – Uhrfasudhasdd
This rather wonderful, often unbalancing yet always inspired collaboration goes from been manic and noisy, to deranged and off kilter, down to be atmospheric and bizarre. With the pair utilizing an mixture of electric & acoustic guitars, flute, vocal sounds & noises, drums, keyboards & bass to create this superb collection atmospheric and mood jumping 16 tracks.Anahita – Matricaria
Anahita brings together Tara Burke (Fursaxa,Tau Emerald ect) and cellist Helena Espvall (Espers) for six lengthy often primal and sometimes haunting/beautiful tracks of droning, sawing avant folk dwell.

RIP Jorge Reyes
February 9, 2009 — MikeNews has hit that Mexican electronic recording artist Jorge Reyes has passed on, age age 57.
Here is an article in Spanish. I’ll post something in English in the future.
La madrugada del sábado murió el etnomúsico Jorge Reyes a causa de un paro cardiaco. Se quedó dormido en su estudio y ya no despertó. Sus restos serán cremados hoy. Le sobreviven sus hijos Citlalli, Ridwan y Eréndira, y Ariane Pellicer, su mujer.
Sus amigos encendieron velas y formaron con los instrumentos musicales del artista un altar adornado con dos fotografías en blanco y negro de Reyes, así como una alfombra de pétalos alrededor del féretro. Cuatro grandes ramos custodiaron el ataúd, mientras algunas personas hicieron sonar las flautas de barro y los tambores que Jorge Reyes utilizó en alguna parte del mundo o en el país que lo vio nacer hace 57 años.
