picked up the Yi-Jing this morning,
got #49 "GE" = Révolution (Renouveler)
Little excerpt from "Le livre des changements" by Pierre Faure :
"Révolution est un moment de renouvellement
et de remise à jour radicale.Il doit amener à la prise de conscience
qu'une manière d'être, une emprise ou une domination est devenue
obsoloète. Cependant le désir de se débaraser de ce qui ne fonctionne
plus ne doit pas aveugler. Le choix du moment conditionne la réussite
du bouleversement. La révolution ne peut aboutir à un réajustement
durable que si elle est améne à l'heure juste, c'est-à-dire quand l'autorité
qui doit succéder au mandat actuel est prête à en prendre la relève." ( p794)

Tobias Fischer from Tokafi just published a "15 questions" to Kraig Grady, with a nice introduction to his release on ini.itu; a full review should follow.
On Furthernoise, we have Roger Mills reviewing the Anaphoria and the López LPs, with some wonderful words about ini.itu :
"Think of field trips to Java or the 1895 Exposition Universelles organised by Colin McPhee, Henry Cowell or Claude Debussy with Harry Parch and Pierre Schaeffer in tow, and you will be somewhere in the ball park of where this unique label is."
Thanks to Jeroen de Wandel for playing Twinkle³ in one of his shows.
You can listen to them online - very tasty !

The end of last year ( 2009 in case you didnt remember ) is still here, with Gregg Wager featuring Anaphoria in his best-of the year :
Check it out on Perfect Sound Forever website.
This morning, francisco lópez's "untitled #228" suddenly appeared on the so-called www.legalsounds.com from Russia
of course it WASNT, and upon asking, it was kindly removed. Should i say thanks ?
They were asking 0.9€ for the download.
07.02.2010
...
Anyway, we are starting a new bunch of projected releases, that might materialize around 2011 or 2012,
involving languages, semantic and semiotic exchanges between Indonesia and Europe, and of course... experimental music & field recordings !
The first stone in that direction was this email / post to our friends :
hi !
for a new project, i'm looking for words in bahasa that are rooted ( but slightly modified ) in the following languages :
Dutch, French, German and Italian.
The first one is quite easy : kantor, apotek, polisi, kualitas, wortel, kamar, rokok, korupsi all come from appropriated dutch words.
But i've had no luck in finding examples for the other 3 languages... So, has anyone ideas ? Extra ones for the first category are also welcome.
I'll set up a page soon with the first results, amazing :)
if you have any word, feel free to mail us !
02.02.2010
Looks like our francisco lópez "untitled #228" release is already highly downloaded on torrents, soulseek and other illegal download websites.
the file is called "francisco lopez untitled 228 LP BCC", and the uploader was kind enough to put a link to our website.
why not some little promotion for our other releases at the same time ? would be appreciated !
Well, anyway, we already have 3 crews from RIAA doing shifts to resolve that problem...
No, seriously, what's the point ?
all i can tell is that, kids, an mp3 on your ipod is not the same as a vinyl on your turntable :)
still, enjoy the listening !
Moving on, we are waiting for the mastering of our next release, by d'incise.
this release will be accompanied, in some copies, by a Serigraphy, made by Laurent Peter himself.
you can reserve one if you feel like !
and now something you all have been waiting for since at least november 2009, a new playlist :
( i hope one day the guys from The Wire will see that it's pre-formatted to fit their monthly column )
2 february 2010 "back to Masada" playlist
1. Andrea Parker "Melodious Thunk" (Mo'Wax) TIP!

So, many news :
Here we are again, after a familial week-end in the lowlands, meeting DJ DMDN from the excellent vinyl shop Antenne in Tilburg;
and after a nice evening in Amsterdam, with francisco lópez having a talk about his Mamori (Amazon) stages,
( sorry, if Liv added a few sounds to the conference ... )
a talk that was held in the lab of the impressive Optofonica foundation, thanks to their dynamic and friendly members ( TeZ, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand )
They should have works featured in the upcoming Sonic Arts festival, check it out if you are in Amsterdam by end february !
First of all, we were delighted that "untitled #228" was *ALBUM OF THE WEEK* for Boomkat, last week !
Great to see that album recognized at its right value. It also means it will fly away fast :)
and... ahum... i just checked, it's sold out from them already.
Best next places to watch for it if you're still looking : Drone Records and Metamkine.
One more review for that same album, by James Wyness, on his blog. Check it out, there is a nice reflection about "absolute noise concrete", worth developping.
a great reviewer that will still hear from ini.itu for our next releases ( we have 4 in the pipeline for 2010 )
Speaking about that, we met Laurent Peter, better known as d'incise, this week-end, to finalize his LP for ini.itu,
which will be called "Rivages sur l'antipode". A great selection of spliced field-recordings, rearranged with alinear and broken rythms

Curiouser and curiouser still, you can get the whole ini.itu catalogue here : No Man's Land (GER) and SoundOhm (IT)

francisco lópez will make a speech at Optofonica in Amsterdam on saturday 23rd - we'll be there !
"Saturday, January 23rd, 19:30
Optofonica Laboratory
Damrak 70, Amsterdam
Spanish sound artist and biologist, Francisco Lopez, will present an immersive listening experience of his recent recordings in the Amazon jungle. After a career as an entomologist, particularly conducting field work on insect communication, Lopez became interested in sound art. Among his numerous and renowned activities as a composer, he has been directing acoustic workshops in the wildest depths of the Brazilian rain forest for the past 10 years. In addition to multi-channel sonic documentations, Lopez will share stories of animal encounters and other survivalist episodes. "

Great times for ini.itu : things are starting to open up in
the United States of America for us.
first of all, interest from the Muffs community :)
leading to possible distribution deals with Ear/Rational and a bit later this year with Mimaroglu Music
Sales .
so, US fans, be calmed, soon the prohibitive postal costs might be old
nightmares and you could spin our wonderful ini.itu's without worry.
You can also expect a few new distributors by the end of september : Vinyllia record shop in Gent (Belgium) and CounSouling Sounds (Mail-order, Belgium)
Also, a few news from friends of ini.itu, on other labels :
Dave Phillips has a 2CD-R release, based on field recordings of frogs on Scrotum Records !
David Ross and Richard Scott, from Twinkle³, are
also part of Grutronics, with Stephen Grew, Nick Grew.
joined by Orphy Robinson and Paul Obermayer, they have a new release on Emanem
it's a much more busy and dense plate than their succulent "Let's make a
solar system ", worth checking out

Wonderful deep review of Blindhaed's "Whether" by Tobias Fischer from Tokafi : here
12.7.2009
Few news these last weeks, but we've been very busy
mastering/finishing the Kraig Grady/Anaphoria release.
should be out within a few weeks now !
We realised our first release ( Blindhaed ) appeared on
russian torrents. What should we think about it ?
Right now they are very busy finishing a new album, whose title should be
"Laguna Sunrise"
It features contributions by David Ross, Sarah Vacher, Richard Scott, Marcos
"One Man Nation" and Federico Barabino
19.6.2009
Our next release, "Anaphoria : Footpaths and Trade Routes" (
featuring Kraig Grady) should be out in July 2009
pre-orders are possible by e-mail
Frans de Waard announced on his blog that
ini.itu will release some of his stuff
We gladly confirm that :)
It should be under his Freiband moniker
Blindhaed are finishing a drone album and several spare
tracks, adding layers upon layers
It will hopefully feature raw sounds from a few friends of them,
among others David Ross, Richard Scott & a few others
who still have to send their contributions.
it should be out on drone-specialized labels.

Test pressings for the Twinkle³ have arrived !
wow :) that's a great record, it's now confirmed on vinyl...
Still needs to be assessed by David Ross and Richard Scott from the band,

we are very excited by this new release, that will definitely mean a jump up in
quality for ini.itu
since we spent a week or so in Lisboa we had the opportunity
to hear a lot of fado ( incl. Fado Museum ), which we really enjoy here.
Definitely crunches for Celeste Rodrigues ( the sister of the famous one
), Aldina Duarte & long known Maria Teresa de Noronha.
also visiting Fernando Pessoa's latest house was a high point in our stay
- we hope one day we could perform in that space !

It's been a while since the last update, thanks to our
Fujitsu-Siemens 22" brand new screen who decided to give up after one month of
use. Thanks !
Quite a few better things happened in the meantime : firstly, a new review by Frans De Waard from Vital Weekly 649 ! the man liked our stuff :)
Second, a few new contacts who are willing to release something with us in the
next few months. Very promising stuff ! We hardly cant wait !
Third, we heard that vinyl
0801 #036 had been broken in two by an Australian postman. poor
thing. We'll try to provide the folks at Cyclic Defrost with a
replacement.
Another good news, we'll probably be available through Cold Spring in the
