Audiobulb is a Sheffield-based exploratory music label promoting the
cause of innovative electronica. Label curator, David Newman, has
overseen a flurry of activity over the past couple of years, and this
profile features four of Audiobulb's most recent releases, from a

generator.

"Essay: Capitatio Benevolentiae - Piracy, Capital, and the Culture of
Digital Sound - Frank Rothkamm" (review)
The piracy of digital sound content is an act of trade, an exchange
between the creator of sound recordings and the listener thus defined:
The creator gets nothing and the listener gets everything. But the
accumulation of digital capital is different from that of its material
counterpart; there is no intrinsic value in digital capital.

"Fast Falls the Eventide by Dead Voices on Air" (review)
Dead Voices on Air, was originally a trio consisting of Scott Harker,
Clancy Dennehey, and ex-Zoviet France’s Mark Spybey. Fast Falls the
Eventide marks DVOA’s 11th album where now we find Spybey solely at the
helm. This ship sails the waters off a strange musical continent, a land
where world music fuses disembodied, electronic-rumbling drones inside
vast reverberant architectures.

"Luminous Air and Delicate Accidents" (review)
A delicate rice-paper cover for a clear vinyl release is the maiden
release for Tobira Records. New Works for Processed Electric Guitar
presents a shimmering soundscape with elusive harmonies from Richard
Lainhart and a warm, prickly cloud of gently swirling melodic lines from
Japanese guitarist Hakobune.

"noise=noise - The Basement Series" (review)
Submerged in the basement vault of a pub in central London every
Wednesday night in August, noises began to crackle, and light began to
spark for noise=noise's The Basement Series. Featuring over forty
international and UK artists from a wide range of practices and
backgrounds, it was set up and run with absolutely no funding or money
involved what so ever.

"XVI Reflections on Classical Music - Various" (review)
Musical genres as any aficionado will tell you have historically grown
out of a reaction to the fetishism of the previous era. Whether it be
the quest for balance and harmony emanating from the disjointed ashes of
Baroque or Debussy's longing for dissonance from the melodic
sentimentalism of Bedřich Smetana, they all tend to be motivated by
periodical ennui of what has gone before.
