E.X.I.S.T. releases their first Anthology of Experimental and Noise Music


Finally the boys from Experimentation in Sound Art Tradition (EXIST) are releasing their 3-disc box set of newly recorded sound experiments.
Recorded last year by Japanese noise artist Seido Toshiyuki under his label New Sound Laboratory. The box set is another important addition to the burgeoning experimental electronic music scene in the Philippines, since the first release of the two-disc SABAW Anthology of Noise, Electronic, and Experimental Music back in 2006.

For more info about the anthology and to listen to it online go to E.X.I.S.T.'s website.

Against OBAMA



How stupid.

First Blood

Might as well say it: Impossible that it's a coincidence that Nicole recants and gets a visa within the week that Obama calls GMA. Sounds like some kind of Hollywood bullshit, I know. Could presidents really horsetrade over the phone? "Lissen, end this Junk The VFA grandstanding crap and let's talk. Let our guy go and we'll give the girl a visa." Nicole, VFA, Smith, US Visa. Counters in a game that's ended with Marines in Mindanao, Smith exonerated, Nicole getting a visa, and GMA getting a personal call from the poster boy of America Redeemed. Not as good as a photograph with the man but better than nothing. Everybody happy. Win-win. 'Course Filipinas wind up looking like a bunch of lying, visa-grubbing sluts, but what can you do. De Quiros defends Obama by saying it's not Obama's fault if Filipinos don't look after Philippine interests. It's not Obama's job to look after Philippine interests. Precisely. That's why we can't go jumping into any parades for the man, no matter how cute he and his family look on TV . Yeah, he's the anti-Bush, yeah he's black, yeah he wants to get out of Iraq, but none of that means he wants a new deal for the Philippines. None of that would mean his deal would be a good deal for us anyway. Like I said, Obama is not my President. Obama is not our president. He's still a goddamn American president, the CEO of a globe-spanning, military machine backing imperialist economics.You can't blink when you're dealing with the bastards.

She’s now in US with P100K in payment

Nicole was sacrificed to protect VFA, US interests -- Bayan

click picture to zoom in for details

Visiting Japanese noise artist, TOSHIYUKI SEIDO will be performing with Caviteno electronic modder/sculptor LIRIO SALVADOR on Sunday, March 22, 6pm @ Kaida Art Gallery in Q.C.
The "exclusively sound art" powerhouse collective, E.X.I.S.T. (Experimentation in Sound Art Tradition), will also be having a soft launch of their compilation album, which was also recorded and produced by Toshiyuki Seido. After listening to the subtle and not-so subtle noise samples on Seido's website, I'm very curious and excited about the album.
Check out their blog for more updated info on the anthology album: E.X.I.S.T.
