STL and carefully chosen sounds.


There was a time when I started buying loop records and sound compilations and would get really attached to very tiny pieces of music. I guess sound selection can be taken, and must be taken very seriously for the technology of sound to be taken further and further. Since going to mutek, I have been introduced to lots of really fantastic dub techno. Seeing Rhythm and Sound live in 2006 was what drove me back to reach into the vaults of artists like maurizio of basic channel. A special thanks to B. Sharpe for giving me a great back catalogue of great music last year at mutek as well. One of the gem producers in that lot of music he dumped on me was the Dubbyman "Dubtroit EP". Thanks Mr. Sharpe

The same goes for Laubner, whose dance floor-orientated music seems to do the same thing—with minute variations—over and over again. A drum loop, a murky piece of melody, set things to autopilot and watch things develop. As any electronic musician can tell you, however, finding those loops is hard work. Echospace's Rod Modell will famously listen to something around the house all day long, and if it starts to lose its luster before hour eight, he'll throw it away and begin anew. These are snatches of music that need to somehow take on new forms the longer you live with them, all within the span of a few seconds.

quicklist of some great companies/restaurants in NYC




J&R Music and Computers - retail location near chambers street. EVERyTHING tech you could ever need.

Computer-Hospital 2087 Amsterdam Ave. This store is a mish mash of audio and computer parts/ computer graveyard as some of the hospital's patients sometimes die... but the good part is that they donate their organs! If I needed a random part for an older laptop I would call this place first. It is the type of place that takes a good look at you and then decides how much to charge so you have to know how to play the game. Cut yourself a deal or pay full price!

Cables and Chips - near chambers street as well, for last minute needs like 75 ohm RG59 734 cables without having to mail order at 6:00PM on a Friday, they are the go to place!

Vynl restaurant in midtown. Great menu's soundtrack, prices, and fun factor make this a go to spot.

Tulcingo Del Valle - more of a full service mexican restaurant. Even sells lots of hard to find smoked chiles. Guajillo, Anaheim, etc etc. On 10th ave in Hells Kitchen

Tehuitzingo - Cheap roadside mexican taco joint on 10th ave in Hells Kitchen as well (between 47th and 48th st.
