Comment:
71:23 | Musictrade release MT003 | Release date: August 30, 2005Not a mix...but a cool ambient/electronic "found-sounds" bootleg (just don't tell Ryan Moore!)
Several Musictrade members visited the Norberg 2004
electronic music festival in Sweden. The visitors were inspired both by the versatile and experimental musical lineup of the festival and by its impressive industrial setting (the main
venues are massive old iron mine buildings). Of the Musictrade artists present, Electroteque ended up doing an 1-hour DJ gig on the festival but otherwise Musictraders merely enjoyed the music and gathered fresh impressions.
Fast forward to Norberg, 2005: Musictrade came with a full 3 hour showcase of its own original material, featuring artists Doc (Finland), Unknown Forces (Scotland), Electroteque (Australia), Frags (Sweden) & KraftiM (Holland). Besides the showcase and
other festival activities the Musictrade crew was also engaged on a special field recording project.
The idea was to collect field audio material from different environments and situations and later on
share the material and work it into an album. Recordings were made both in Norberg itself during the festival and on various locations around the world visited by Musictraders on their way to Norberg and back home. Plenty of interesting field material was captured, and overall the project was a big inspiration for all involved. It took only a month after the festival for this album to materialize, with contributions from five Musictrade artists. A lot for the mind to process.
The entire album, including the artwork, is available free...here:

Enjoy!

Feedback:
Sounds like an interesting project. If my dial up modem cooperates, I'll try to download it.
Very cool! thanks for the links, I'm downloading now.
This is a cool project that Unknown Forces made me aware of.
I was hesitant about posting it @ first -- but I've gotten a lot of positive feedback elsewhere; and
after several listens am liking it more & more.It's provides for a subtle, almost transparent, background
listen -- but does "rev up" in sections.
Found Sounds
are basically everyday noises (voices, traffic, hums, jet engines, wind, industrial noise, etc.) that
are recorded, looped & set to a rhythmic (or quasi-rhythmic) pattern.
Muzag has utilized them in his (now famous) Muzag Field Recordings.
