A section of the huge train departures and arrivals information board on the concourse at London Liverpool Street Railway Station in London (UK).

 

In 2007 this dot matrix board replaced the popular and great fun to watch 'flapper board' display which was the largest of its type in the United Kingdom.

the fifth dotmatrix project brought together two greensboro acts, each with little time playing together, yet both with big, unique sounds. project tritium kicked off the evening with james marshall owen dropping his bowie-esque delivery and jagger-esque stage presence over highly composed music and sounds that at times seemed improvised. the raving knaves then took the stage (and our sound engineer) and rocked their set with a variety of kinetic, powerpop tunes. david mclean's hips might still be gyrating. a fine time had by all.

The seventh dotmatrix project brought together two greensboro songwriters, historians, and musicians. Yet both ladies, accomplished musicians in well-known bands across the Carolinas and beyond kept reminding the audience to be kind: This solo performance was a first for both.

 

Riannon Giddens is a world-traveling musician with the black string preservation band, The Carolina Chocolate Drops. The project was one of her first solo debuts, relying only occasionally on the support of Laurelyn Dossett and guitarist Scott Manring. Her roots music included a few original tunes, such as the ballsy-blues girl ballad, "Two-time Loser." And with her early vocal training at the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory, Rhiannon performed a multi-lingual, multi-cultural act, singing in languages known only in the Gaelic-Scottish regions, plus "Mal Hombre" in Spanish, and "Slaves Lament." A regularly touring musician, Rhiannon made the most of the hometown gig, and brought her sister on stage for gospel songs that featured harmonies only possible from a childhood spent singing together. Off her usual repertoire, however, Rhiannon dropped in a tune she's always wanted to sing, she said, Patsy Cline's, "I Fall to Pieces."

 

Laurelyn Dossett also made a break from her regular appearances with Polecat Creek, and sang songs she's written for the band, and more recently, songs she's created for the original "playsical" projects at Triad Stage, such as "Brother Wolf" and "Bloody Blackbeard." While Dossett played solo, she played many songs originally written for the bluegrass and Old Time string, such as "Midway Road" and "The Island," off the band's new album "Ordinary Seasons." With a story behind every tune, Dossett is something of a modern historian, writing songs that tell stories from the Piedmont region, such as "Leaving Eden," which chronicles the night drive of a mother and her children as they leave a community built on and later burned by a collapsing textile industry. One hot October night in early 2000 inspired "Surry County's" burning. With guitarist Scott Manring, and vocalist Rhiannon Giddens occasionally joining her on set, Laurelyn rocked a set that's usually reserved for the more, well, reserved audience.

 

And the audience came to listen. Before the first guitar was tuned, listeners lined up chairs, settling in with their dark brews in tall pint glasses, only breaking the silence to applaud, stomp, sing along, or laugh.

Auction Item Number: O7

 

The auction is for one of the test instruments of which only ten were manufactured with the date 2013. The instrument is fully functional and has been used in the making of the album that will be sold with the Synth. The MSII will be released by Mute Records later in the year. The album features Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle) Dominic Butler (Factory Floor), Kidkanevil, Dirty Electronics and others.

 

The Dirty Electronics Mute Synth II (MSII) is a hand-held sound device. At the core of the instrument is a versatile mini patchbay that provides expansion and modification permutations and a grid-like visual representation of patched parameters. The patchbay encourages a particular interaction with the instrument and playfulness. The printed circuit board artwork, black and silver finish, has multiple electrodes in the form of small squares that provide a labyrinth of possible connections and resulting behaviors. Different sequences are created through hybrid 4-bit binary coding, feedback and bastardisation. Artwork for the Synth is done by Adrian Shaughnessy.

 

Features:

Noise generator

Feedback

Oscillator

Wave shaping (triangle – square)

Buffered output

Sequencer

External clock option

Touch and knob/potentiometer controls

Mini patchbay

Dotmatrix display (external module)

PCB artwork

Bend and hack points

Expansion board capability

Mini jack/headphone output

Battery powered 9v

One of, if not the most contested route in Liverpool is the 86 service from Liverpool One to Garston via Smithdown and Allerton Road. With Arriva operating every 10 minutes and stagecoach every 6 minutes (Monday to Friday) the total number of journeys made each hour reaches 16!

Arriva are favoured by passengers on the route, operating Alexander-Dennis ALX400's (100% low floor) where as Stagecoach operates a mix of Darts, B10's and Northern Counties deckers (Mixture of high and low floor). Stagecoach however are not down and out; with over 52,000 students in Liverpool (Myself Included) and a lot of student accomodation along Smithdown Road, the student ticket flat price of £1.20 is irresistable keeping Stagecoach well and truely in the game!
