more Oopdates

yar! i forgot loads of exciting things in my HPLL goings-on yesterday!

release-wise:

The Village Orchestra and friends - MPD Pyscho live soundtrack
Dunno if that will be the final title, but a live recording made at this year's Triptych festival in Glasgow - Ruaridh/TVO with Erstlaub, Production Unit, Bovine Life and Konx-Om-Pax provided a live improvised soundtrack to the first episdode of Takashi Miike's groundbreaking 6 part drama 'MPD Psycho'. limited run CDR edition of 100. With extensive liner notes written by Ruaridh too.

Erstlaub - untitled
Follow up to his excellent 'On Becoming An Island' album from last year. Possibly out late August for upcoming London gig - see below for more details. Also limited run CDR edition of 100.

Mandelbrot - untitled
We've mentioned this for a while, an album of solo material Keung recorded last year - lo-fi and nasty as hell! will get cracking on it soon! I think Keung is going to re-record one of the tracks before release. limited run CDR edition of 100.

Gigs:

ICA DJing 24th July and 14th Aug 2008
Me and Mat/Fisk Industries will be Djing in the bar at the ICA on the evenings of 24th July and 14th August. Our job is to play background music which may or may not get progressively louder and dancier!

"Towards the Singularity" - August 31st 2008.
We have an upcoming gig at the beautiful new Dalston venue, Cafe Oto, which will feature The Village Orchestra and Beaker - TVO using MaxMSP and Beaker doing live A/V on Jitter, Fighting Kites, and Erstlaub and Mandelbrot Set (possibly collaborating).

Netaudio festival, October 23rd 2008
Not fully confirmed yet, but looks like HPLL will be curating DJs for the bar at one night of the Netaudio festival. Whole lineup looks ace, and Last.fm are curating the evening of the 23rd (hence me being able to blag the bar area! :)
