"Scanner and Stephen Vitiello are both recognized for their shared sensitivity to sound and space. Through recorded works, performances and installations they explore a world that shifts between digital pop culture and visual arts. These live performances capture two live improvisations between the artists, musical acrobats without the net beneath them. Recorded in New York City these recordings present a world of shifting, organic sound, one indoors at the esteemed Knitting Factory, the other on the roof top of a skyscraper, the sun brightly spinning across their machines."

"This music grew out of a late November 2002 performance and studio improvisation in NYC. Deupree's Stil. and Willits Folding, and the Tea had just been released on 12k, and a release party had been scheduled at Tonic in NYC. Willits flew in town for the show. The night was beautiful, and music was recorded. Later that week, Willits and Deupree set up a processing system in Taylor's Brooklyn studio. It consisted of Willits' guitar, folding through his own software system, and then re-synthesized through Deupree's kyma processing. Jamming late into the night turned into hours of raw material. Deupree and Willits then edited the recordings into 10 track foundations, and finalized the tracks individually, 3000 miles apart. The final CD contains excerpts from the live recordings at Tonic in NYC, and their favorite finished pieces from the original studio collaboration. You can trace each artist's solo approach to performance in their respective live sets, and hear how those methods, sounds, and processes blend together within the studio improvisations. The collaboration is a hybrid of Deupree's keen timing and sensitivity to the microprocessing of sounds, and Willits' folded guitar playing and flowing harmonic sensibilities. The CD drifts into new sonic territory for both artists, and establishes a foundation for Willits' new melodic arrangements and Deupree's growing interest in live instrumentation."

"Take three Swiss tourists (Andy Guhl & Norbert Möslang aka Voice Crack and Gunter Müller). Feed them top notch Sydney rock oysters, fine Hunter Valley wines and get them into a recording studio with Oren Ambarchi. That was the challenge. This is the record. If Ambarchi, Müller and the Crack have one thing in common (beyond gastronomic excess), it is their ability to get extraordinary sounds out of everyday objects. This one day recording session at Big Jesus Burger in Sydney highlights the mutual approach they share. There's such cohesion, wholeness and single mindedness to these pieces that makes identification of the individuals involved virtually impossible. So forget the 'Who"s Doing What?' game. Close your eyes and play 'Where The Hell Am I?' Rainforest, glacier, casino, ship's hull, bowling alley or five star restaurant? Personel: Oren Ambarchi: Guitar & Electronics, Günter Müller: Selected Percussion, MD"s, Electronics, Voice Crack: Cracked Everyday - Electronics."

"Microstoria is a collaboration between Markus Popp (Oval) and Jan St. Werner (Mouse On Mars). Their common work sounds like an electronic 'soundtrack', destructuring the structures and recomposing, re-inventing new textures to create the perfect melody. Their micro-stories are about new languages, new way of expressing the music itself, guiding it to unknown territories. Through echoing machines, Popp and St. Werner are developing the sound of abstract organicity. Invisible Architecture 04 was recorded at Kaaitheaterstudio, Brussels, summer, 2000. This concert was a longtime awaited event, part of the 'Invisible Architecture' series. This tenuous claim to melodic content -- based on a tidy collage, based on crackles and static, is the testimony of a pure delightful moment."
