Daniel Dorobantu & Felix Petrescu LIVE @ Simultan Festival 2011

Daniel Dorobantu & Felix Petrescu
"As far as we remember"
Live @ Simultan Festival 2011
Synagogue of Timisoara
6 October 21:00h

If compared to their biological age, D & F know each other for a very long time. More than half of their lifetime. Since the proverbial times of the "Circle of Calculators", first local official assembly for geeks in Timisoara.
Their bond become even stronger once F tried to double the size of D's hard disk using some occult software of the time. It was a failure and so D was forced to initiate himself into the ways of the system reinstallation.
More data was exchanged in high school years. Not an especially productive time but the taste for experimental (self) education was growing. Amiga, C64, Borland Pascal & autoexec.bat comes to the mind … Still, the period ended with their first attempts regarding creative output. F was tracking on Amiga and D was … doing something in illustration.
University time arrived and the spirit of continuity prevailed. Inspiration and vision were increasing. Also, their common but individual weird aura did too.
F went public and joined TmBase as a founding father. He got himself a gang and started raving as Urban Experience. Visuals stroked him too and a bit later went even more astray, sounding cinematic as Makunouchi Bento.
D went towards the within. Emotionally and philosophically. He practiced ambient facing his room wall for some years (he was not aware of Bodhidharma yet). Studio work only, albums releases as Thy Veils and sparse public gigs as others guest. Then he went photographic and become a video man soon enough.
There is no archeological proof but D & F went into improvisation at the same time. D did so after a trip to New Zealand (and, once back, he quit his job, joined one more group, started releasing even more, made installations and went mainly live). F's transition is undocumented.
The last years can be characterized as most active in all aspects. Both increased their artistic research in various experimental fields and their skills were upgraded as never before. The new, uprising wave of mobile music scene focused their interests upon same topics and same touch screens. Still, one most important thing was never satisfied: they never performed together. But this is not a problem anymore since this year's Simultan Festival will host their first live collaboration. The two will deliver a real-time improvisational storytelling performance along the not-very-accurate remembering of a "sonic memory system" that D developed for his collaborative Ars Electronica installation. A continuous, postdigital audio-visual flow containing all their tricks will flood the Synagogue of Timisoara, this October.

from the press release
7 September 2011
"About the content of this (cover) image I cannot say more that I captured it while my friends were kiting and suddenly they focused on some invisible point in space. No one remembers exactly why but I recall the atmosphere on that small hill, it was similar to that of the title song. But the title song itself is not much related to that hill. In fact, the music was performed one year before, in Pecs (Hungary), during the HeadPhone Festival. I was enjoying the great company of Petre Ionutescu and his trumpet and Ciprian Costache (you can see him on the cover, the young man on the right side) and his screwdriver technique, subtly unleashed upon his guitar. We did this jazz-ambient sound-flow by improvising along a generative structure that I was controlling in real-time while processing their output through two Korg KaossPad3 units, to be more precise. Later, the recorded sound reached the ears of Attila Lukinich and he adapted it for speakers without hesitation. After that, the song got a video to mach. Spacelove, the second title on this release, is a piece I've created using the sounds of Memories Of Now, a generative audio-visual installation I made with Michaela Konrad, featuring Eugen Neacsu. This multimedia artwork is currently in permanent display inside the Ars Electronica Center in Linz (Austria) and we presented it's new, updated version just 2 days ago by participating in the Ars Electronica Festival. A new video is under construction, documenting this new live presentation and I'm pretty sure it will be online 7 days from now."

Thy Veils & Music Alliance Pact

Music Alliance Pact is a project started 2 years ago by the Scottish blogger Jason "The Pop Cop".  It unites music blogs from six continents and around 35 countries. Each blog selects one band from their country, a song to represent it and they describe it in a few words.

On the 15^th of every month, all the blogs post this identical list of all the bands (with their song and info) maximizing their exposure. The result is an international compilation, with different genres, languages and approaches.

From South Africa to England, Colombia to China, Iceland to New Zeeland;  trip-hop to pop, metal to ambient, experimental to world music, you can find it all here.

As Jason said in an interview for The Guardian: "The logic behind MAP is that because each individual blog's regular readers would usually download and listen to the author's recommended songs, they would be more likely to download the MAP songs too, even though their source was another blog entirely".

Babylon Noise is a collective Romanian music blog, started in May 2007 by some friends who wanted to share their favourite music with more people than each other.

It’s not about who released what and who sings when and where, it’s more about those sensations and feelings music creates; about the way a live performance can make you feel. It’s a very subjective music blog, consisting of our opinions about certain songs, bands, videos or shows.

It’s not about news. It’s about moods.

Thy Veils' "The Knifechild" is featured in November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact compilation.

Thank you Maria & the Babylon Noise crew.
