Artist:	MIGONE, CHRISTOF
Title:	Quieting
Label:	ALIEN8 RECORDINGS (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ALIEN 025CD

"The fourth solo recording from conceptual sound artist Christof Migone. Quieting is a fine example of the artist's ability to pay attention to minute detail. The record runs just over 40 minutes and features 18 different tracks that play in and out of each other in a similar vein to Ryoji Ikeda's +/- CD. Sounds on the recording range from pulsing electro glitch popularized by the likes of Pan sonic, Rehberg & Bauer and Migone's own duo Undo with Alexandre St-Onge. It features field recordings and experimentation with periods of silence, reminiscent of projects by folks like Brandon LaBelle, Steve Roden, Achim Wollscheid and Tokyo's WrK collective of Minoru Sato, Atsushi Tominaga and Toshiya Tsunoda."

Title:	Crackers
Label:	LOCUST
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	LOCUST 001CD

"In 1997, electronic sound installation artist Christof Migone enlisted the bodily aid of a group of Canadians through classified ads and over the radio for a cracking session and interview at Ottawa's Gallery 101. A what, you ask? Part ambient sound investigation and part wacked out art science project, Crackers is a 7 track collection of unadulterated recordings and clever digital remixes of the sounds of cracking knuckles, knees, wrists, jaws, toes, ankles, backs, necks, elbows, and hips. The percolating, popping polyrhythms are at once amusingly bubbly and oddly trance inducing. Cheaper than a trip to the chiropractor and far more entertaining. Crackers was first presented as an installation in a group show curated by Emmanuel Madan entitled 'Incredibly Soft Sounds' at Gallery 101, in January 1998 (originally documented in an exhibition catalog and limited cd-r). Documentation of Crackers was also featured in Site Of Sound: Of Architecture And The Ear, a book with CD edited by Brandon LaBelle and Steve Roden (Los Angeles: Errant Bodies Press, 1999) and presented the following year as a solo installation curated by Michael J. Schumacher and Ursula Scherrer at Studio 5 Beekman in New York City, January 2000."
