Hola Folks! There have been a few recent changes with Plum Industries and the Eleveneleven podcast.
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.

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. See also http://last.fm/music/Massappeal. Recent group projects include electro-acoustic duo Kolliope, with singer /song writer Michelle Taylor, and experimental projects like Lawn Cigar with visual artist/musician Darren Porter. Solo, Randolf performs live electronics as Dolfazoid.
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.

David O’Donoghue presents a rare live sound performance for Don’t Look Gallery. O’Donoghue will be playing back and manipulating field recordings extracted from the urban fabric of Sydney and Melbourne over the past four years. In combination with these field recordings a number of sound toys and custom circuits will be played/manipulated to create a live sound composition.
David O’Donoghue works across a number of creative platforms, including, however not limited to – sound/music/composition, installation, live art/micro-performance. He has more recently been developing work in the rubric of ‘invisible practices’ – which become manifest through the inhabitation of the repetitions of daily existence.
Happy New Year folks and welcome to the first show for 2009!!
Several new releases are featured this month including the opening track Untitled #175 by Francisco Lopez & Lawrence English, from the album HB on French label Baskaru. Also new from Baskaru is Live Journeys, a selection of live performances by mixed-media band Symbiosis Orchestra.
The podcast title, Mistress of Ceremonies, is a track from the new Joe Frawley release Ritual Research. An extremely enjoyable listening experience, the album is available for free download through the Clinical Archives net label.
From our friends at The Agriculture we have two exciting new releases to look forward to in February. Rich Panciera under his Lloop moniker explores elements of dubstep, hip hop and drum & bass with the album 60 Hertz. Kacy Wiggins aka quiet personal electronics (aka qpe), releases the one true constant, a new album with a downtempo ambient hip hop groove. Also from qpe we hear a track from the album Boolean Logic, which I refer to as my all-time-favourite pre-cyclone music.
From Australia, we hear a track from Rhythmic Movement Disorder (Room40), the long awaited debut solo release from Robbie Avenaim, a luminary figure in the Australian experimental and improvised music scene.
We also hear a golden oldie, That That Revolves, a Severed Heads track that features on the companion CD to a new book release entitled Experimental Music: Audio Explorations In Australia. Book chapters have been written by ‘artists, producers and participants in alternative music-making’ in Australia including contributions from Julian Knowles, Shannon O’Neill, Ian Andrews and Jim Denley, to mention a few, edited by Gail Priest. A definite must have for those interested in the history of experimental and electronic music in Australia. I was thrilled that Punos rated a mention. Enjoy!

Guest Programmer
Kazumichi Grime (Sydney) www.kazumichi.com
Kazumichi Grime is a Sydney based sound and visual artist. Recently he has been incorporating video art into his live sets which have been performed at events such as The Big Day Out, eScapes, Disorientation, The MCA and Liquid Architecture. The focus of the video imagery is often of intense studies of simple concepts that work in collaboration with the sound to create a resolve. Dense textural drones are drawn from field recordings, analogue synthesis and acoustic recordings.
He has released numerous recordings since 1994 on cd, vinyl and online and has performed extensively. As well as his own solo practice, Grime has collaborated on a number of projects with artists such as Kim Cascone, Gary Bradbury, Anthony Guerra, Andy Polaine and has also developed a number of pieces as a sound artist for video artist Shaun Gladwell, including the 2007 Venice Biennial piece, ‘Storm Sequence’
About this playlist. The music I have chosen is music and sounds that I find engaging and beautiful. It also happens to be all of Australian artists whom I have followed for some time over the years and have found their music an inspiration (though I did sneak a new track of mine in as well as a remix I did). Having grown up on a diet of Severed Heads in the 80s, I naturally find Bradbury’s work wonderful, unexpected and humorous. I have always enjoyed releases by Ambarchi, Minut and lesser known artists like Daniel Whiting whose track here is a cdr he handed to me one night and is heard here in its entirety, quite an epic. Enjoy.
Kazumichi Grime will be performing at Liquid Architecture 9 Sydney, Festival of Sound Arts 11-12 July 2008. www.liquidarchitecture.org.au
