“‘Many States’ is a collection of classic mystified tracks. Drones, loop sculptures, bizarre percussion, granular synthesis and other strange techniques combine to form a dark and wild ride. Recommended.”
Hi all– big update this time from underground handmade label Spread The Disease from Barcelona.
STD024 “Assorted Singles” Mystified C60– great recordings which go from field recordings to droning– amazing stuff, really stoked to put this one out– with handmade artwork.
Note from mystified: This C60 is a collection of rare and never-released tracks from 2007 and 2008. Lots of variety here, even a short commercial jingle for a local record label.

Thomas of mystified, having listened to a recent net release through Batman and Robin Records, realized that the sounds in the release would function well both as individual songs and as raw material for remixes. Much of the sounds on this release, “Particular Streams”, are translations of field recordings made in South Saint Louis, Missouri.
When Thomas issued a call for musicians to use “Particular Streams” as source material for remixing, there was a solid response, and all kinds of different artists stepped forward and offered their interpretations. This volume, Volume Two, is especially diverse and rambunctious.

Aug. 11th, 2008 from 6PM -9PM
This is a free event for the public.
About The Jay Pritzker Pavilion:
Frank Gehry, winner of the National Medal of Art, applied his signature style to this revolutionary outdoor concert venue. The Pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing headdress of brushed stainless steel ribbons that frame the stage opening and connect to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes. The trellis supports the sound system, which spans the 4,000 fixed seats and the Great Lawn, which accommodates an additional 7,000 people.
This state-of-the-art sound system, the first of its kind in the country, was designed to mimic the acoustics of an indoor concert hall by distributing enhanced sound equally over both the fixed seats and the lawn.
Feel free to attend! There is no charge for this event.
