KK Null 

KK NULL has concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings, exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing waves of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures and droning isolationist material, which could be described as “cosmic noise maximal/minimalism”.

Databending Ambient Glitch Music and Abstract Film

n my first video I used scratched or prepared CDs to generate sounds for my electronic glitch music. That could become quite an expensive method, so I turned to another source for making sounds. I used a free wavepad editor to open random files on my computer and save them as wave or mp3 files. The pops and clicks that make up the percussion started life as jpegs and .exe files. Whereas the to sample that make up the bulk of the sounds were original pictures stored as .RAW files. The bass and organ like sounds were provided by a free tone generator. 
The film started life as heavily layered film of a household object that didnt come out as planned. After a lot of editing it looks like this.  (by artifacterror)

Oval-Ah

The band’s original members were Markus Popp, Sebastian Oschatz, and Frank Metzger, although Oschatz and Metzger left the group in 1995. All three are regarded as pioneers of glitch, a genre of music that embraces the sound of damaged audio produced by the failure of digital equipment. Disdaining the use of synthesizers, Oval instead deliberately mutilated CDs by writing on them with felt pens, then processed the palette of fragmented sounds to create a very rhythmic electronic style.

Markus Popp continues to release albums under the name Oval. The most recent are the back-to-back albums Ovalprocess and Ovalcommers. Frank Metzger has released some singles with Megoand the Internet label Falsch, and has started a collaboration with Rossano Polidoro and Emiliano Romanelli from “TU M’” in 2003 that is called Steno, while Sebastian Oschatz is an interaction designer with Meso, a German media design collective.

Matrix Metals

Flamingo Breeze

NNF163—CS

The Southern California mythology glints in the irises of certain dreamers more radiantly than it does in others, and few crews have begun capturing the imaginary high life of neon Corvette rides, Ray-Bans at night, and sea-breeze mind-surfing better than the Outer Limits Recordings collective. They operate under most radars but their output is a radical Rubik’s Cube of riddles, tape hiss, and tranced pop utopias. Matrix Metals is casually referred to as an “alien lounge music” project, but that’s not even the half of it. A hotwired collection of fringe-vision vignettes that roves from ghost club beats to astral 80s TV theme songs to loopy interdimensional dub-funk and beyond,Flamingo Breeze is a capitalized question mark in the NNF canon, and a recent obsession of ours. Anonymous pro-dubbed white tapes in cases with full-color “VHS box collage” J-cards designed by the artist, plus an insert and 2 tickets to a Matrix Metals performance at a fictional club in the future. Edition of 125.
