Plum Industries is now a new media and web business. Design, development and consultancy. Specialising in accessible, usable, and affordable solutions for the arts, community and education sectors. New website http://plumindustries.net
About the podcast: “What is on this podcast? Trials, plan B’s, errors and rehearsals, leftovers and whoulda-coulda-shouldas, the stuff remaining under the wet hood: the little fellas that didn’t make it. Sketches, leftovers and drafts: an amalgam of wrongs.
This 11 tracks date from 1999 til 2009, since “bounced” they are no longer editable (a couple are mis-mixes from “Smile Hunter”). They are the elaborate trials of my inner professional artistoid, working the “crashing patching and doodling of doing”, on some very nice afternoons (obviously with the intention of making of all the right mistakes) next to the roaches and fliers and the hope filled tool bags of the sleepwalking artisan.” ~ Once11
Once11 (aka Ignacio Platas) born in Montevideo has never stood still for a second. He was an active member of the infamous Brooklyn Williamsburg scene (‘90-’93). In 91, after building environments at Keep refrigerated, legendary illegal underground Williamsburg club, he co-founded Lalalandia Entertainment Research Corporation, whose large scale fountains, omnisensorial environments and pneumatic installations have been written about in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Lalalandia made many of the most memorable Brooklyn warehouse after- hours environments of that period.
In 1994, he started up Multipolyomni and We™. We™’s ‘97 release “as is” is considered a classic. We™ opened for the Orb that spring. Their third release, “decentertainment” landed them at Barcelona’s Sonar ‘99. Multipolyomni’s ‘97 New York production of the Solar Drama from their opera Quark Soup, projected a massive live view of the sun perpetually rising for 24 hours, broadcast LIVE from 127 consecutive locations as the world turned around once. It hosted 77 live performers and artists on two floors. The Early Aquatic Episode, ‘96 at the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, also from Quark Soup, was hailed by the New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as “the only work in scale with the Anchorage”.
In 99 he moved to Barcelona and formed a team to find solutions for marrying video game navigation, 3D music interface, audio visualization, hybrid environments, digital architecture, 3D sound, audio localization, and analogue input controllers. He developed the demo sutoolz 1.0 alpha. A 3D software interface for music performance. By navigating through a 3D virtual architecture the musician uses a set of 3D tools to interact with the virtual environment: gameplay zones, speaker volumes, speaker volume membranes, speaker navigation volumes and 3D multi-band FFT visualization systems.
Always moving forward Once11 started Meta Flora in 2002 and led a team to Costa Rica for 3 years building synergetic renewable bamboo structures. In 2004 he founded the Bamboo Institute. The Bamboo Institute seeks to develop innovative ways to utilize bamboo’s incredible potential to help solve a wide range of the problems facing the planet. Why not work on improving and promoting bamboo architecture and design, primarily focused on furthering the development and utilization of bamboo as a building material the strongest and fastest growing plant on the planet.
Jerry Mane aka Pickle are the two production and performance names used by antipodean Brett Murdoch. Originally from the icy southern tip of New Zealand now living in the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. Brett has been a producer of electronic music 10 years in his native home of New Zealand as well as in Australia where he has releases on the independent label LRR. The Pickle moniker is used for Brett’s productions in the fields of electronica, ambient or sound scape work. He has worked with visual artists in various exhibitions and art installations.

Liquid Architecture 10 Sydney is now over folks – We had a blast!! Thanks to everyone involved.
Here are some photos, more to come. Photography by Toby Grime.
Buttress O’Kneel is a sound artist from Melbourne, who has to date released 12 plunderphonic audio-documentaries (on topics such as globalisation, Harry Potter, war, oil, racism, humyn rights, 9/11, exorcisms, “Australian values” and the Bilderberg Group), 13 albums of culture-jammed post-pop noncore metabreaks, and several other Special Projects, including live manipulations of mainstream CDs through a series of destructive guitar pedals, collaborations with various other folks (including a fully sick deconstruction of Led Zeppelin IV with Blue Mountains misanthrope, Lucas Darklord), and commissioned art-pieces for the ABC.
She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.
This Eleven Eleven Special is a surreal journey through time and space, where the listener can meet some of her friends, influences, idols, total strangers whose work she thinks totally rocks, and of course her good self. CONTAINS NO BREAKCORE.
Buttress O’Kneel will be performing in Sydney for the first time for Liquid Architecture 10 more details…

Michael Beckett is kptmichigan, a musician and producer who loves guitars, totally dislikes programming and finds the term experimental somewhat dodgy.

About the podcast: This podcast features a bunch of stuff from friends to people that time has forgotten…The weird and the wonderful. I allowed myself to add random stuff to and between some of the tracks, even creating new music especially for this podcast. Listen loud / Listen deep.

Randolf Reimann is a sound artist, musician from Bangalow, Northern NSW. Randolf started his musical journey as vocalist for the Sydney 80’s hardcore punk band Massappeal.

Randolf is also the artistic director and facilitator of Tra La La Blip, an artist collective based on the far north coast of New South Wales. Their first release, Soundbeam Sessions Volume 1, is a compilation CD. All the songs were created live during jam sessions at Multi Task Human Resource Foundation in Lismore NSW. The music is created using multiple midi controllers and instruments like the tenori-on, soundbeam, kaossilator, microkorg, a macbook running ableton live software and a microphone. The project provides people with disabilities access to new musical technologies, opportunities to collaborate with other musicians & artists and opportunities to record & produce original compositions. Randolf is currently in New York doing Tra La La Blip activities with disability services and the elderly. www.myspace.com/tralalablip
About the set: When I left Australia in October I purposely did not take any music with me, no mp3 player, no CD’s, no iTunes library. So this set is made up of music that has come to me on this extended stay in the USA, save for 1 kolliope tune and the TLLB songs. Most of the music I have received through connections made through TLLB on this trip . There are generations overlayed too, a grandmother talking over her grandson’s metal band. A mother singing with school children and her son (now in the metal band), and a father doing music with his son. This was not an intentional choice, nor is it entirely experimental, it’s just what has been presented to me since October 2008.
