Themeless but not without Target
This weeks Sound-In Event of recorded ‘new music’ works was without ‘theme’ as it is every other event weekend but as always was not without target. In fact the community of global artists which make up the core of this creative community gather by internet connection each Thur @4pm PST to Sat 6pm PST and produce music that has no knowledge of itself yet when listened back to back or remixed/mashed, the result can be quite on target as if each member composer is tethered by a subconscious telepathic muse.
Sit back edit, code, read, have a beer, lay down, close your eyes, well first click the link the bottom corner of your browser to start the playlist, then close your eyes and give a listen to the marvelous thought provoking musical work produced over this the weekend of Nov 7-9, 2013. Note the link at bottom of the list for a free download of the Sound-In New Music Event Player available for iPad/iPhone/iPad Touch mobile devices.

Take Sound-In with you on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch mobile device. I wrote the Sound-In New Music Event Player with that purpose, to have a recent playlist that you could listen to without data while you were going to sleep, on the train, away from your nearest wireless provider :). The player is newly published and available at the App Store badge below. The app will be updated as time permits with recent Sound-In Event playlists. If you don’t have an Apple mobile device you can still download the app music via Bandcamp.com at http://woodandwiremusic.bandcamp.com/album/Dreamland.
See you next time,

Words
Wow Carla [Cryptic] welcome to Sound-In!
I regret other than posting my ‘single’ track in a rush last weekend I know I missed a great event with a theme I had little time to process. When I recorded my piece which memory is blank but I think it was probably either Wed or Fri evening as in between those times, I was totally immersed at work for 24+ hrs at that period chasing Expiro*, a highly creative computer virus that got in our law firm network. It was wild and we spent the weekend, the department I’m in of 4 plus an outside group of creative folks brought in by my boss as we were overwhelmed. Our goal was not to achieve perfection over it’s corruption to our systems but merely to be able to have the lawyers ‘working’ when Monday came and we did that. It was a range of bandaids but it worked out.
Sadly I’m just now listening to some of the work created. Narcissistically I reached out for the flattering mash of my fretless mando piece with Lydia’s haunting horn and Steve thank you very much for combining us, love the name and my mash mate 🙂
Now the second piece I hear is our new comer or new to me and a fine passionate 2 min (Bruce H is gonna love this) piece. I must continue with some parallel thoughts on Carla [Cryptic]’s piece and say when I got home tonight (actually now yesterday), still tired from the weekend (age) I sat down and promptly dosed off waking @2:30am refreshed. I turned to do some ‘research’ on YouTUbe re my current guitar rebuilding project (can’t wait to hear what this one will sound like) and I stumbled on to first a ZZTop appearance at the Crossroads music festival and somehow it led me to watching several Frank Zappa interviews which were funny, bittersweet and sad as he’s not with us in his creative inventive form but and yes I get to the end of this narrative and say Carla your 2 min roll reminds me of Frank, thank you.
Folks I’m sorry I missed it so in return I’m posting this comment as lead-in to a SoundingsFromSound-In blog entry taking to our playlist. Kudos all and love ….Jim

This weekend’s Sound-In event which I had the rotational pleasure of kicking off on Thursday afternoon, was moving as they are every weekend. To say anything else, was better than the other, none of the need for comparisons exists in my mind in talking about the work of this ‘new music’ community, it’s always stellar and inspired. I look forward to each and every weekend event, which begins on Thursday afternoon of each week @4pm PST and runs through Sat PM at 6pm PST.
Consistently twenty plus musicians from around the world community of interest in experimental music show up to post their musical work for the week, sometimes multiple pieces all done under Creative Commons. I’ve been in the Sound-In community (originally known as ImprovFriday) since January of 2009 or 10 and it’s become one of my most enriching musical experiences.
Every other week at Sound-In the event takes on an optional theme for the participating composers. The off weeks we are ‘themeless’ and wide open to the whim. The aim is ‘new music’ and ‘pushing’. This event was of the themeless but due to interest in a recent comet the element of that aura emerged in some of the work.
A few highlights from the weekend were these but please checkout the complete Sound-In playlist for the weekend of March 14-16, 2013, here.
