Explorations in Sound Vol 3 - Music of Sound

Explorations in Sound, Vol 3: Music Of Sound is the a compilation of sound works inspired by the tones, drones and rhythms of everyday life. Drawing on the ideas of Pierre Schaeffers' Musique Concrète movement, contributing artists were invited to respond to the natural tones and rhythms in raw acoustic or constructed sound and field recordings. Inherent musical and rhythmic motifs were then developed through live performance, orchestration, or studio manipulation.

What results is an innovative and eclectic set of tracks from invited international artists known for their work in this field. It is the fourth in the Furthernoise.org series of high quality mp3 net releases curated by Roger Mills and free to download from the site with folding printed sleeve. Original cover artwork for this release is by Femke de Jong.

Appropriate Re-Appropriations


A compilation of innovative music & sound created with Creative Commons licensed audio.

Furthernoise has teamed up with Freesound presenting an exciting special file sharing opportunity. Part exquisite corpse, part Chinese whispers, part peer2peer ping pong.

Over the past few years the amount of audio available to re-use and manipulate governed by creative commons licensing has grown massively. Freesound (amongst others) has been a major part of this, building up an astounding library of audio which is available to anyone to download and use within the confines of the Sampling + License. This compilation illustrates new ways of using these archives of plunderphonic delight to create an ever expanding terrain of inventive new sound.
