Dear All
The Electronic Image presents 'Codec/x' specially commissioned and recent
work by 30 artists and musicians, based in north west UK. It has been
curated independently by artists Dave Griffiths and Nick Jordan, and aims
to promote collaboration and experimentation in sound and visual art.
CODEC/X features new digital films by 26 sonic investigators, artists and
composers from north-west England. These short, diverse works present
challenging and often humorous themes embedded to materials and processes -
including animation, performance, text, noise, concept, narrative, found
objects, tape and abstraction.
CODEC/X unpacks a playful list of new proposals and encourages discourse
about technology, materials and conventions in contemporary practice. The
artists explore tensions between perfection and instability; the minutiae
of spaces and moments; the inscription and abandonment of laws; creation of
light and time; complexity of language and meaning, and the architecture in
'intelligent' machines.
65 mins in length. Free.
4th February 2004 7.45 PM Stoke Film Theatre, College Road, Stoke On Trent.
The Electronic Image is regular screening space situated at the Stoke Film
Theatre in Stoke On Trent
What we are trying to do here is show all types of short moving image based
work from around the globe and also showcase new work from the local area
This is the first event where we The Electronic Image are promoting a
touring programme we hope to bring more work that is touring to Stoke in
the Future.

Mountain Men Anonymous
www.mountainmenanonymous.com
May 5, 1993
In Grants Pass, Oregon, in early May, Michael Kennedy tried to shoot a beer can off Anthony Roberts's head with a bow and arrow in what Roberts later described as an initiation rite for "Mountain Men Anonymous." Kennedy missed, and the arrow went through Roberts's right eye, penetrated eight inches of brain, and came within a millimeter of severing major blood vessels that would have caused instant death. Roberts never lost consciousness, was later fitted with a glass eye, and suffered no diminution of brain function from that which he had before the accident occurred.
Source: The Oregonian
No Really Mountain Men Anonymous will penetrate your soul with a sound that compares to acts like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, and Explosions in the Sky. Not heard of them well come to Stoke On Trent and witness a reinvention of rock music.
Epic 45
www.epic45.com
>From Stafford, The influences here range from the mellow ambience of bands such as Bark Psychosis & Labradford to the sonic experimentation of GYBE, Slint, & Hood, but blended together nicely into a sound all their own. Lots of Radio One airplay from Steve Lamacq & John Peel. Very very pretty & dreamy.
HL/Fickle
www.noground.co.uk/hl.html
Promoters take to the stage or artists start promoting hard to say with these 2. HL is currently experimenting with using live noise through mics and creating a soundtrack using the actual sound of the venue. Fickle is well taking cd glitches, delay, radio noise and ambience into a warmer field away from the more harsher reality?s of Merzbow and Yasunao Tone.
A Visual element will be provided by etc/ with other visuals by tbc artists.
Also, Fri 27th February: Mountain Men Anonymous live at Night & Day Cafe, Manchester...
...with various other bands including Tsuji Giri who're about to record with one Steve Albini...nice...

Maybe I should say that we are having a night of pre-recorded music at the Retro bar Manchester on the 12th April. Its called <font size="4">TITTUP</font>, which means to move friskily and bob up and down.
Hopefully there may be some of that.
We will be playing, ooh all sorts of stuff. If anyone is interested, I will put up a list of things when Im awake. Just thought I'd let you know.
Gorr, this is a rubbish plug. Sorry. Anyway, eeing as most of you are in Wales I can't see the missioning to MANCHESTER thing happening. Well, SURPRISE ME. [img]graemlins/rain.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img]
Oh, Mr Centimental, long time since now, but I saw your artwork in that crazy golf exhibition. It were reet good! I have a nice picture of it somewhere which I will post up if I can.
The man who runs the gallery actually said to me that was his favourite artwork-and I think he was being genuine and not too showbiz- so there you go!
Have you got any more lined up? [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sleepy.gif[/img]
Hey,
> saw your artwork in that crazy golf exhibition.
Cool! Glad you liked, thanks!...
>I have a nice picture of it somewhere which I will post up if I can.
That'd be superb if you could, I didn't get many good pics of it myself...
>Have you got any more lined up?
Only vagueness;... I was supposed to be doing something for another exhib in the same place but they've had to postpone...
More cementimental gigs I hope in the not too distant future, but gotta get animation work out of the way 1st, then will have more time + money for noisiness!

may 31st bank holiday monday.
please read on if you are still interested....
PLANS/PROPOSALS for may 31st end of may bank holiday monday half-day musical
musicrooom jamboree...
it all seems to be falling nicely into place, as if by accident.
I plan to change shape slightly during the summer months...
having a bit of a break?
thereby creating a small but significant vacuum in the musikwerld OF
sTOKE-UPON-tRENT.
to herald this event I propose to hoist a very special musical day on bank
hol monday 31st may at the Talbot Hotel....
during that day I hope that we can create a beautiful happening on both
floors of the Talbot Hotel....
As a fairly idiosyncratic farewell/au revoir {my summer love}
here is the plan
from 1pm in the warm but rainy bank holiday Monday afternoon we will enter
the talbot hotel, stoke and encounter chilled Djing and acoustic artists playing
in different locations throughout the building {seemingly random, though not
overlapping, and kinda scheduled} this will continue throughout the afternoon
featuring such acoustic lovelies as Andy Robbins, Steve Clarke, Ben
Reynolds/Andy Jarvis/Girls, Buried Coins, and possibly VASE? throughout the day there
will be sound installations and things by Dan Hopkins, and most probably Fickle,
and visual/art installations by Dan Robbins, and whoever else has a good
idea, and wishes to be involved.... hopefully there'll be projections from the
scrapbook... photography/video/film from the last two years of great live events
etc.... {I have the Zukanican vid from last oct etc}
At 5pm-ish we will adjourn for high tea, { pizza from over the road ?}
this time/interlude can be used for brief escape.... or just a chance to have
a break from me bending your ear about how the daily tide of spam and junk
mail is crushing my spirit....... blah blah blah
this time could also be used for distro's etc?
reconvening at
6.30ish for more musical goodness... some / all live bands playing upstairs
{not on stage, on floor a la LigBolt etc... hey, I'm not claiming originality,
just enthusiasm}
there are those of you that already know of these plans... and I have
confirmed with a few bands that I would like them to play on this date.... if these
plans come together there may be issues re the amount of door money the bands
can reasonably expect, but as ever I can only do my best to ensure
satisfaction, but will guarantee fairness....
so, anyone up for doing stuff...
particularly visual artistes,publicity,flyering,mythmaking etc
or if any labels fancy having a small info/distro thing going on at the venue
please drop a line quick sticks...
go on... add your name to those already destined to make a difference on the
day:
THE CHAP too much going on to encapsulate in a snappy slogan. All good mind.
THE WOW intricate hellfire in the round...
SCULPTRESS a beautiful unvanquishable sound storm

yeaaah... it's all happening in Stoke....
it'd be really good if you thought it important enough to tell other folk
about this, it'd be even nicer if you felt inclined to print it off and give it
to them...

Check out there sites for many great mp3's Here's what the bands themselves say about their shows
'Live we dance and roll around and make a tremendous joyful noise. basically we play different sets each
night so depending on the feeling of the space and the people we meet it can be many different things...
generally some participatory singalongs and some touching and some hooting and hollering and trip-outs
and some messy drumming... yeah! i think there are videos on some of the sites...
The cut and paste digital derivative of musique concrete, melodic memory, splintery soft glitches, anxious dada, dirty indie, beautytronics. Lucky dragons is..
YACHT is music made by Jona Bechtolt. YACHT is a varied and multi-hued exploration of sound and rhythm that trips you deeply and puts you in "the zone."
From Filter magazine..
There is something going on here, and it isn't quite electronic and it isn't quite folk. Bobby Birdman (aka Rob Kieswetter, aka 'the indie rock Perry Como') has a voice as genuine as they come. His precious croon never stretches out of range, but isn't dull or montone. While his previous work relied on acoustic guitars and barroom piano to create a somber lo-fi landscape, this EP shows a leap forward in the studio. Imagine the voice David Bowie, only American and softer, backed by odd beats and click.
HL also has a slightly upgraded website with a slightly updated address www.noground.co.uk/landcrash There is some more music on there and soon will be examples of my film work.
