FE #001 [VA - the map is not the territory]
“Free electronic music on the Internet has reached a peak point of abstraction and metaphor, presenting a remarkable range of open sound archives led by Artist-identities barely visible, gigabytes of fragmentary ideas and sketches, spliced, compiled and assembled into works of strange beauty. The territory of creative potential is nearly impossible to mark, neither to define and picture considering the number of artists and concepts. The first compilation by frozenelephantsmusic.com therefore aims to simply start an ongoing presentation of compositions from this wide field, presenting individual artist personalities and their work, considering the artistic process and its manifestation.
For ‘The Map is not the Territory’ F.E.M. gathered 11 pieces by artists from the UK, France, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, USA and Japan. The collection includes minimal, computer-based aesthetics, sensitive undulations of sound, natural reverberations, organic structures and fragile sonic architecture. To hear is not to listen.”
