In a review that spans Richard Barrett’s Dark Matter and Han-earl Park’s io 0.0.1 beta++, Tim Owen (Dalston Sound) praises Barrett and Park’s ‘Numbers’ (CS 201 cd) for its “multifarious attractions” found in a “wealth of microscopically teeming detail”: Numbers is a complex melange of retro/futurist synth sounds, glitch electronica, guitar-sourced whammy-bar pitch-bending and hard-scrabble [...]

io 0.0.1 beta++: seeking performances (Europe, 2014)
Seeking performance opportunities; particularly in Europe 2014: the cyborg ensemble of interactive, semi-autonomous, technological artifact and machine musician and improviser io 0.0.1 beta++ with human musicians Han-earl Park, Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder. See performance proposal for further information (availability, technical requirements, performers’ biographies, etc.). overview This quartet (or faux-quartet, if you prefer) performs demanding [...]
Annea Lockwood on io 0.0.1 beta++
The website of machine improviser io 0.0.1 beta++ quotes the composer and explorer of our relationship to everyday (and not so everyday) artifacts, Annea Lockwood’s response to ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): The interaction between io and the three other players is really supple… and I like very much the gritty complexity of io’s vocabulary, [...]

io 0.0.1 beta++: (musical) time and machine musicianship 0.1
Second part of a series at the io 0.0.1 beta++ website about musical time, rhythm, musicality and politics: The issue is not so much that a musicality built up from a simple ‘beat detection’ is not possible…. The issue is the implications of seeking and defining, in research, such a trait; valuing such a musicality; [...]

io 0.0.1 beta++: (musical) time and machine musicianship
First post as part of a series at the io 0.0.1 beta++ website about musical time, bodies, computation, machine musicianship, and the regulation of the musical: Perhaps the assumption of a foundational importance to musicality of a simple ‘beat detection’ stems from subscribing to a command-control model of musicality. In this model the mind is [...]
…and more CD reviews: io 0.0.1 beta++
Two more reviews of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) with two contrasting takes on the meeting between human and machine musicians. Ken Waxman, on the one hand, juxtaposes the “unobtrusive and egoless” machine with the human improvisers who display, for example, “thoughtful pauses”: …Han-earl Park personifying Dr. Frankenstein, has created a non-human artificial musician from [...]

Happy New Year from io 0.0.1 beta++… kind of…
If io 0.0.1 beta++ could want, or express a desire, I imagine that it would want to wish all of you a happy arbitrary demarcation of time: 4G alt. (audio salutations from Han-earl Park and io 0.0.1 beta++) [mp3 audio] io, however, cannot want, or express, anything… io, however, cannot want, or express, anything…but Happy [...]

more CD reviews: io 0.0.1 beta++
More reviews of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531) including Vittorio’s big thumbs-up at MusicZoom where he hails the recordings as a “total hymn to modernity”, in which the human musicians “throw themselves with passion on the ideas from the inanimate object”, and the listener will be “fully repaid by that which is a successful experiment”: [...]
