    September 30 – October 1, 2010 Stockholm, Sweden September 30 – October 1, 2010 Stockholm, Sweden Welcome to Stockholm The First Ever European Green Capital Noise is a serious health problem in Europe. Road traffic is the predominant source of exposure in urban areas. As a basic measure in fighting noise, the City of Stockholm has monitored noise pollution since the early 1970s. Information about the current status of noise pollution is available in a data base, also containing information on protective actions and noise reduction measures. Our work against noise is one of the reasons why Stockholm was the first city to be awarded the European Green Capital title. To be successful in the future in delimiting noise exposure, more attention is needed to prevention of noise at the source, as well as to the city’s planning process. The City of Stockholm has taken part in research showing that people’s judgments of the soundscape in their homes greatly depends on factors like access to a ‘quiet’ side of the house or access to a ‘quiet’ sitting-out area. In addition, access to a ‘quiet’ recreational area within reasonable walking distance is of importance. This research shows that cities need to work in several ways, and not using noise abate- ment as the only strategy. Soundscape management can be a useful tool to achieve a more attractive and human city. We are proud to be a partner of this conference and to contribute in the exchange of experience between dif- ferent professions, and in introducing the soundscape approach to architects and urban planners.

  • BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music
    BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music www.ele-mental.org/beautifulnoise/ A WORK IN PROGRESS (3rd rev., Oct 2003) Comments to [email protected] 1 A Few Antecedents The Age of Inventions The 1800s produce a whole series of inventions that set the stage for the creation of electronic music, including the telegraph (1839), the telephone (1876), the phonograph (1877), and many others. Many of the early electronic instruments come about by accident: Elisha Gray’s ‘musical telegraph’ (1876) is an extension of his research into telephone technology; William Du Bois Duddell’s ‘singing arc’ (1899) is an accidental discovery made from the sounds of electric street lights. “The musical telegraph” Elisha Gray’s interesting instrument, 1876 The Telharmonium Thaddeus Cahill's telharmonium (aka the dynamophone) is the most important of the early electronic instruments. Its first public performance is given in Massachusetts in 1906. It is later moved to NYC in the hopes of providing soothing electronic music to area homes, restaurants, and theatres. However, the enormous size, cost, and weight of the instrument (it weighed 200 tons and occupied an entire warehouse), not to mention its interference of local phone service, ensure the telharmonium’s swift demise. Telharmonic Hall No recordings of the instrument survive, but some of Cahill’s 200-ton experiment in canned music, ca. 1910 its principles are later incorporated into the Hammond organ. More importantly, Cahill’s idea of ‘canned music,’ later taken up by Muzak in the 1960s and more recent cable-style systems, is now an inescapable feature of the contemporary landscape.

  • Send Cash, Checks, Or Money Orders Made Payable to “MUTANT POP RECORDS.” QTY
    It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop AC Mailorder Catalog Well, Snorkel Bob and I survived our June trip around North America. We logged about 8500 miles and saw a lot of cool stuff, including a June 19 show in NYC featuring DIRT BIKE ANNIE and THE KUNG FU MONKEYS. It was a ton of fun! I’ll blab about the trip next time. First I need to try to sell you some records to keep this crappy label alive! The new Mutant Pop single is a faboo EP by Seattle’s amazing WANNA-BES. Originally from Longview, Washing- ton, home of fellow pop-punkers THE JIMMIES, THE WANNA-BES came into the MP orbit via James from MORAL CRUX, who heard them and urged them to send me a tape. Whew! THE WANNA- BES are definitely one of the most exciting three-chord bands doing their thing today! They have a simple formula, so simple that it’s brilliant: instead of trying to ape Joey Ramone’s voice, Chris Workman and the gang melds the enor- mous RAMONES poppy punk guitar sound with high quality, sweet vocals that sound like they would have been at home in the 1960s invasion of British pop. Not to far afield of GENERATION X or MORAL CRUX or some other punk band that can actually sing, in other words...Very crisp, clean vocals and harmonies over a big guitar roar. Like duh, why hasn’t anyone thought of doing that be- fore? They sound absolutely fantastic, appealing to fans of the classic three- chord punk sound without coming across like lame copycat rehash that has been heard five dozen times before..

    2007/2017 | POST-PUNK Post-punk was never a sound. Or at least, it was way too many sounds to be boiled down to a single aesthetic. What tied those many sounds together was an adventurous, seeking spirit. It was music often made by young people, but it wasn’t youth music per se, striving for themes and sounds that were less ephemeral than most popular music. I’ve always thought of it as a flourishing that lasted from about 1978-1982 before passing the torch to other music (though a lot of post-punk and new wave musicians continued to do fantastic work). And that was that--the music continues to surprise and excite us, but it was finite. That understanding was recently massively shaken up, when I met Dave Cantrell, whose Songs From Under the Floorboard radio show on XRAY.fm and Out From The Shadows music festival in Portland, Oregon unabashedly use the term “post-punk” to refer to an active musical culture, with no qualifiers like “neo” or “revival” necessary. I was skeptical, sound unheard, expecting it to be a shallow exercise in aping the sounds of post- punk without engaging the animating spirit at its core. But Dave is an “original” post-punk, who was “there” in London, late 70s/early 80s, meeting the bands, experiencing post-punk first-hand as I never could (I was born in 1980) as a living culture. So if he felt so sure that this current-day “post-punk” needed no qualifiers, I had to give it a shot.
