i've never read halana, but i've heard of such a recording. i think it was by
chris watson and was actually a recording of the telephone wires themselves, not
any fancy arrangement. contact mics were used to pick up the sounds.

Actually, it's by alan lamb. and he did use abandonned telephone wires in
australia, plugged them to some machines and didn't fidget with the
sounds. the article said he had tons of reels of these 'wind symphonies'
but that he hadn't listened to them all...

He's talking about Alam Lamb. His recordings are generated from the sounds
created by telegraph wires in the outback of the Australian desert. He has
three very good releases on the Dorobo label, one of which was just released
very recently. The most recent is the "Night Passages - original masters"
which is the companion to Night Passages - Demixed which includes Ryoji
Ikeda, Thomas Koener, Lustmord/Paul Haslinger, and Bernard Gunter. The first
release, Primal Image, is a classic.

I liked the track on the sampler so much I went ahead and bought the
record, its not as fascinating as the sampler track, but still pretty
decent, Dorobo put it out. There's also a new CD now with a bunch of
people remixing Alan Lamb recordings that's supposed to be even
better.

"When the fallout comes he is fire" - Neurosis
_Night Passage Demixed_ (Dorobo) with Ryoji Ikeda, Bernhard Gunter,
Lustmord and Thomas Koner. It blows the original away. Worth it for the
Koner alone, though the Lustmord is some of his best.

ooooh yeah. you read about all the cool pains they went through to get
original samples, you buy the records and you hear ppprrrrshrrrkrrrr for
twenty minutes. oh the betrayal, oh the pain.
ever tried to make someone that doesn't like noise understand "i don't
like this record because it goes -pssshhhrrr- but i like this one because
it's all -krpppptsscchhu-"?
hehe

Sure. I mean, when someone describes a MSBR disc as sounding like a couple of
cheetah cubs trying to figure out the autopilot controls of a helicopter, how
could the disc itself ever live up to that?
