This is the second release from Chris Whitehead on Electronic Musik.
Chris tells me – The set is called 100 Birthdays. It was recorded in a tube station in London, a bookshop in Scarborough, a park and art gallery in Whitby, and aboard a dying space station hurtling towards Jupiter.

Field recordings made by Thee Moths (Alex Botton) presented ‘as is’ with no post production. The recordings were made on the 2nd of October 2010 and released on the 4th of October 2010.
First Actions
Thee Moths formed as a fuzzy guitar pop band in 2000, initially as a quintet with former members of Alex’s old band Magnetic North Pole. That then slimmed to a trio and then down to a duo. The duo version (Alex and Dominique Ferraton) recorded the first two albums plus a slew of EPs and compilation tracks. Though Dominique left the band Alex continued, releasing several more albums before deciding to call it a day in summer 2008
Second Actions
Around the start of 2009 Alex began to feel that he maybe had more to say under Thee Moths’ banner. With this in mind he started up again, this time deliberately moving away from the structured song based roots of the band. Though there may be song centric recordings in the future, these are likely to not be under the name Thee Moths. Concentrating now more on making things limited and special than mass produced and available, Alex has started a series of extremely limited releases, runs of anything between 5 and 20 copies with handmade artwork, released regularly. Live shows now take one of two forms – electronic voice/laptop/synth improv with audience participation under the name ‘Many Hands/Light Work’, and completely improvised ‘singer/songwriter’ shows where the songs are written on the fly during the performance from suggestions by the gig goers. Thee Moths second actions is entirely about improvisation and engaging with the audience.
A lot of the music from the First Actions is available online for free, the Second Actions material is available in very short runs from gigs or the store. To date Thee Moths have been featured on 70 releases over 9 years.

Richard Knight is a sonic/computational artist, usually performing with digital equipment. Incursions have established him as a practitioner of the no-input mixer, a subverted device which allows analogue feedback to be harnessed in an often precise and diverse manner. The performance for EOVI will see Richard utilise two no-input mixers, in an ongoing collaboration with Rodrigo Constanzo. Other relevant projects include the electroacoustic/jazz duo, ‘Pesticide Organica’; no-input techno project ‘Closed Circuit’ and experimental/electronica ‘Underbaud’.

Pesticide Organica is a self-supporting musical node. Producing music of the utmost contempt and repugnance, masked by a veneer of acceptable social norms. The ubiquitous force of Pesticide Organica permeates even the most one-dimensional of minds.

Tom Harrison – Brass Bongs
Influences – Students / iCulture / Sha’itan / Insect Dominion

Tue, 24 November, 2009.
Bassist Simon H Fell is here wearing his improviser’s hat, and working in small and large groupings. The trio is amere3, himself, Rob Dainton (drums) and Phil Hargreaves (saxes/flute). The large grouping is the Infinite Monkey Orchestra (because if you gave them enough time they’d play the andante from Brandenburg 4) – a flexible line-up of people involved in the Liverpool Gathering. Adventurers all (taken from the Sound & Music website)
Thanks to Phil Hragreaves (Whi Music) for his help with this release.
Additional thanks to everyone who took part and were happy for me to put this special recording out.
Whi music is dedicated to promoting the power and beauty of improvised and experimental music. Based in Liverpool, UK, it’s largely based around my activities and collaborations.
Simon H Fell formed Bruce’s Fingers record label in 1983 and has documented both long-term associations and less permanent and informal playing situations, along with a series of improvisation-related compositions.
