Machines and Odd Oddities

Hello, we have two EFSPACM projects in June, "Machines" and "Odd Oddities".

First: the invitation about the "Machines" project. It can be concrete music (recording a machine) or something resembling machines/about machines. You can use any instruments, your mouth, it can be spoken/sung poetry or just abstract sounds. Or simply the title can be about machines, and your music can sound any way you wish. Some noise is ok, classical music is ok, practically everything is ok (but don't record for example cursing when you hit your finger with a hammer, please). Please experiment (but you can also make it obvious - for example about the machine you are referring to). Thanks to Aide Aspicit for the idea!

The other EFSPACM project of June, Odd Oddities, is the idea of Volker Störtebeker, who got a mandoline zither from the year 1905. So make music with Odd/Old Oddities. Plain and simple! Be it an old instrument or music inspired by old stuff.
Please send the recording(s) to szrenp@yahoo.com before the end of June 2021, please clearly indicate which track is for which project, also write your name (or nickname), title(s) of the piece(s) and a link (if you want). Send wav format, use wetransfer.com if the file is big. The results will be presented on bandcamp (individual tracks) and youtube (mix/mixes), as well as wherever we can find a place to show the results.

As time progresses, it's less a matter of where I want to than enjoying where I am - A Mantra presented itself to me a number of years ago, that being " This is where I am Now " - It's always true & bears keeping in mind. I consider myself fortunate in having traveled a lot - New Zealand, Central & South America, All around the USA - Several pilgrimages to Cheser, Ill.  I've lived a nomadic lifestyle for many of my year. So my travel itch is well satiated I'm happy to say - Having said that, there's nothing quite as meditative  4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)?

Interview with Mike Fuchs

1) Who are you? Mike Fuchs/Yellow Salamand’r... and I’m still learning who I really am. 2) Can you describe your surroundings?   Small village rural. Generally peaceful. 3) Where would you like to go?   Wherever the path leads. The journey is most exciting part for me. 4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)?   Simplicity. Obscurity. Insouciance. 5) What do you really want your audience to understand about you/your art?   I don’t wish to impart my vision on others. It’s so much more intriguing for an audience to create their own perspective. Keep ‘em guessing. 6) Does audience matter?   I create, because I have to. It’s my release. So essentially I do it for me, but clearly audience response... good or bad... is invigorating. Final answer... no/yes😉. 7) Why Resist?   Depends entirely on the circumstances. 8) Why do you do it?   I have to, for my sanity. 9) What drives you?   I just cannot ignore the desire  to...
