notes

In early 2005, New York-based digital artist Bill Byrne started The Painful Leg Injuries Podcast. Every week is a new chapter in an exploration of various concepts through sound art. All of the Podcasts created in 2005 are now available on this 7 CD-R set, "Interpreting Codes Into Robust Details: The 2005 Podcasts".

The podcasts have covered many areas of Byrne's interests. Including the circuit smashing of an electronic print ad on the "Earl's Death" series. As well as the plunderphonics of "100 Little Drummer Boys", where he created a long form piece out of 100 samples of the traditional X-mas song. He explores the distortion of sounds through primitive recording devices and the characteristics of sound in a cavernous setting on "Underground Chambers". Here he combined various cell phone recordings of street musicians into genre-bending compositions. Using a vintage synthesizer guitar and various delay effects he created the "Echo Synth Guitar" series. Byrne used Apple's Garageband software package on his four "Polyimphony" pieces, each one using the maximum amount of the digital instruments Garageband makes available to the user. The four "Time Travel" pieces are based on diagrams from Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".

This box set is the second major release from OKS Recordings Of North America, a new label run by Byrne and his longtime collaborator, Jonah Goldstein. OKSRNA specializes in limited-run artist created CD-R releases that create new and exciting directions for musical expression. "Interpreting Codes Into Robust Details" is specially priced and is currently available through cdbaby.com.

The OKSRNA label has recently launched their website, www.oksrecordingsofnorthamerica.com. The site features podcasts by the Painful Leg Injuries as well as other like-minded artists, The Unevenness of the Moon’s Surface and El Plan De Aguavodka.

    I liked the underground subway sounds the best.. the faint sounds of music in subway tunnels. I guess maybe I love that because I am from NYC and it captures something I hear almost weekly. Would love this artist to do more SLOW sounds. Wish I could have a machine to SLOOOOWWWW down some of his other material. And, I know it isn't easy because he is recording real sounds, maybe change of beat from slower to a little faster, back to slower? I like dancing to this sort of thing.
