hey you! fan of things forward and experimental and noisy/quiet... isn't it about time you heard yrself so EAI (electroacoustic improv)?
hows abouts I sucks you in by recommending some records that Fennesz is on (did you know that Fenno'Berg is improvised? pretty sweet and exciting for the future of music, and electronic music performance, innit?):
Album on Charizma featuring Werner Dafeldecker, Christof Kurzmann, Christian Fennesz, Kevin Drumm, Jim O'Rourke, and Martin Siewert... very dark noise-droney... but not too noisy, probably one of the more immediately accessible ones for fans of industrial ambient experimental shit...
Polwechsel and Fennesz-Wrapped Islands... a lot more austere and quiet... but very beautiful, rewards a great deal upon repeat listens...
Keith Rowe and Fennesz-Live at the LU... released right around the same time as Venice... much much more noisy...
just over the horizon, buttercup... forthcoming on Erstwhile: Four Gentlemen of the Guitar, featuring Keith Rowe, Oren Ambarchi, Christian Fennesz, and Toshimaru Nakamura...
so uh yeah... Fennesz is definitely not the best in this field, not by a long shot... but he's probably a pretty common starting point (he was for me) into this sort of thing... i'm so lonely... but don't do it for me... do it fer yrself...

Sounds good, cheers for the heads up. I was gonna buy a mika vainio & fennesz collaboration from the pompidou centre when i was on hols, but alas, i was a little short on cash. Btw, do you know anything about The Necks? I heard a 60-min or so live improv set on radio 3 (uk) aaaages ago, and always meant to investigate. It was hella good.

i've heard good things about 'em... but never heard nuffin... i haven't heard much of the Vainio and Fennesz... but most of the albums on audiosphere are pretty excellent (Ambarchi/Muller/Voice Crack, Deupree/Willits, and my favourite: Jan Jelinek/Computer Soup)... and i do recall enjoying what i did hear...
