..is announced on www.warprecords.com.. "skimskitta" is the name and it'll come out on march 3rd.. this maybe interesting.. also, her "insect sounds" thing sounds quite interesting: ""There are more insects on earth than any other living species and having the opportunity to mould all the amazing and beautiful noises they make, into something other, really appealed to me. At the end of August, I received the sounds, about 150 or so, of every insect imaginable; wasps, flies, larvae hatching, butterflies beating, and with this menagerie, I frantically got to work". ‘Nunu’ is a 13 minute extract of the composition, which I got to play about a week later, sheltered under a rather large dinosaur skeleton. I could have sworn it was nodding its head.” The limited edition T-Shirt and CD package, is, you’ll agree, totally lush (see Mira Calix modelling the Fly T above) and is available ONLY from warpmart." couldn't find it in warpmart though.. |

jesus. this sounds brilliant. that insect scenario is interesting. will probably order it then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hopefully it will be a more consistent album than her first one, though |
||||||||
|

oh she is cute awww this really does sound brilliant. her 'prickle' was such a great dissapointment :/ |
||||||||
|
|

|
the insect thing is seperate from the LP. thinking of ordering the insect/tshirt too.. |
||||||||
|

I think her compositions aren't great, but her ear for sounds is pretty extraordinary. her mixing is kind of crap, though. but those sounds.. mm.. |

I like it a lot more than the first one, though I liked the first one too when loads of people didn't. I suppose I was biased towards Mira Calix before the first album cos I really liked the Ilanga 10". This new one is nice though. Skimskitta is a good description of the beats, but there's also melody going on in lots of tracks. It ain't entirely made of bugs :) |

OOH! I hadn't seen this, at the bottom of the page.. "LIVE NEWS Mira Calix will be part of a mixup experimental DJ set together with Andrea Parker at All Tomorrows parties April 4, 5, 6. On 8 March, Mira Calix will perform a version of NUNU (the insect piece) with The London Sinfonietta as part of an evening of works by modern composers including Aphex Twin, Stockhausen, John Cage, Boards of Canada, Ligeti and Squarepusher. Tickets will be on sale soon at www.rfh.org.uk Lots of news to come! Mira Calix will perform live shows in the Europe, the US and UK later in the 2003." |

She has some good ideas and sounds in her compositions... but I was dissapointed with her full length and her ep..... :*( I cant wait to hear her new stuff though |
||||||||
|

i have hearrd enough of herr songs to descide not to get herr albums. maybe this will be good, but i don't think shes that imprressive rreally. but shes cute at the rright angle. |
||||||||
|

i quite liked the first album but it took a while, look forward to hearing the new one as well, reviews have been favourable. |

im getting that the day it comes out....is the insect thing a seperate cd or what? anyways im getting whatever comes out. if she comes to the US i doubt she'd come here (ohio)but that would be so cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as cool as the idea is, the insect thing's been done before... my graeme revell, founder of thee old industrial records group SPK. |
||||||||

the insect thing is coming as a package with a girls t-shirt she designed together with a designer. and so what if its been done before..? not by her. thats what makes it interesting. insect sounds do seem to me to be close to her own sound-design, so that should work quite well. |

too bad one of the autechre guys most certainly has put his penis in her mouth on more than one occasion. shame. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well.. thats life for ya.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just saying there should be enough penis to go around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I bet one of the ae guys would gladly put their penis in your mouth.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
no shit. |

I wish he would put his own dick in his mouth...then maybe he can pacify himself while others give more intelligent commentary... Her work has never terribly interested me, but since she's still at it, I'm willing to listen... |
