Phil Kieran Feat. Bush Tetras Snakes Crawl (East Village Mix) -“This project started off as a bootleg (under the name Burglar Tom) released by Phil Kieran back in 2007. Back then he was just putting out a tune he really wanted out there, cutting through the red tape. But as occasionally happens this one was too good to have such a limited release. Picked up and played by many top djs, it eventually found it’s way to the ears of Bush Tetras’ vocalist Cynthia Sley, via the good people at Optimo in Glasgow. She loved it. They put her in touch with Phil, and the result is this official release”

Steve Reich's Radiohead Composition Will Confirm Their Status in the Classical World

“The most exciting music news of the year so far must be the announcement that minimalist maven Steve Reich’s latest large-scale composition will reimagine two songs by Radiohead. The piece, commissioned by the London Sinfonietta and New York’s Alarm Will Sound, will premiere next year at the Royal Festival Hall…The tracks that sparked Reich’s “interest” are Jigsaw Falling Into Place from In Rainbows and Everything In Its Right Place from Kid A.”

Walking on Eggshells: Borrowing Culture in the Remix Age

“Documentary from Yale Law & Technology, serving up 24 densely compelling minutes of insight into the various facets of intellectual property in the remix age. From appropriation to sampling to creative influence to recycle, the piece is an anthology of conversations with some of today’s most notable remix artists and media theorists, exposing the central paradox of contemporary copyright law: How can something originally intended to incentivize people to create serve to hinder new forms of creativity?”

Steal Like an Artist: Austin Kleon on Combinatorial Creativity

“The genealogy of ideas, why everything is a remix, or what T.S. Eliot can teach us about creativity…In this excellent talk from The Economist‘s Human Potential Summit, titled Steal Like an Artist, Kleon makes an articulate and compelling case for combinatorial creativity and the role of remix in the idea economy.”

A Worm, a Dildo and a Turd, Repainted, Sitzwuste Sculptures Retain Ability to Soothe and Insult - “Franz West’s Sitzwuste (2000) — three sausage-shaped aluminum sculptures designed as sitting spaces — are back, but with a big change. The 13-foot pieces were reinstalled on Friday on the Walker hillside near the entrance to James Turrell’s Sky Pesher. Although they don’t have the garish neon enamel they did when they were first installed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden 11 years ago, they still possess the potential — as West has said — to “insult” their idyllic surroundings. In their previous incarnation the works were neon yellow, orange and pink, part of the artist’s wish to appear unnatural in an outdoor setting. ‘I wanted to insult the taste of nature,’ West has said, ‘but then I was carried away by something I perceived to be beautiful.’”

Disturbia, BBC Concert Orchestra Performs Aphex Twin

No, not Windowlicker but Aphex Twin‘s ‘Nannoo’, as arranged by Patrick Nunn, as well as Luciano Bero‘s “iconic radiophonic extravaganza” Visage. The latter, featuring the faintly disturbing and decidedly erotic moans of Cathy Berberian, was famously banned from Italian radio for its explicit content. Also, Francis Poulenc‘s La voix humaine – opera in 1 act, a “classic psychodrama” based on on a play by Jean Cocteau. Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, provides a 21st-century spin on Kryzsztof Penderecki: Polymorphia.
