S.A.B.A.W. releases its first anthology album entitled:

S.A.B.A.W. An anthology of Noise, Electronic and Experimental Music 2006

The S.A.B.A.W. Anthology is the result of existing material collected from experimental musicians/sound artists who had been working in the Philippine underground (read: underappreciated and under-funded) scene for the last 20 years.

The project — conceived with the intention of not just publishing but also promoting innovations and experiments in music, is an attempt to fill a gap made real by the lack of critical appreciation and inaccessibility of sound art and experimental music for the past two decades.

The artists here represent but a cross section of a much larger body of musicians and artists from all over the archipelago. (Taken from the album liner notes)

The two-disc album also includes liner notes (including the bio of each artist), and the artwork of artist Poklong Anading.

It will be sold for 150 pesos and is packed in a sealed jewel case.

This Saturday\’s event will have live performances by experimental musicians/sound artists: Elemento, Inconnu ictu, Nasal Police (Pow Martinez and Ria Muñoz), Arvie Bartolome, and Tengal.

In addition to the anthology, three other albums will be released this Saturday, Head Ego by Arvie Bartolome, Drones for the Bored by Tengal, and ZPE (Zero-point energy) by Elemento mastermind, Lirio Salvador.

HEAD EGO
Head Ego is a three-part album: Head Ego (Lost Tapes), Altego, and the scratch tracks.

Altego and the scratch tracks were created during the summer of 2006 and includes a remix track of \”Only\” by NIN. Head Ego (Lost Tapes) is collection of Arvie\’s most personal works that have been lost for almost seven years. The original tracks were deleted and only after seven years a tape was discovered.

Now remastered and reedited by Arvie himself, Head Ego is his first time release.

50 pesos each.

Packaged in a cardboard jacket.

DRONES FOR THE BORED
Drones for the Bored is the first album of Tengal\’s Sequential Boredom Series (SBS), a series of albums inspired by boredom.

From electronic soundscapes, dronology, to psycho-acoustic \”ear-dances\”, Drones for the bored features four massive tracks for solo synthesizer, prepared electric fan, mixer feedback and reprocessed tape.

Spectacular acoustical effects take you to expansive worlds of dancing difference tones and psychedelic sonorities. Tengal has stirred boredom to come to life.

Limited to nine copies. Double-disc with almost two hours of music.

120 pesos each.

Packaged in a jewel case.

ZPE
If you are a science fiction fan, you might have heard of ZPE.

The concept of zero-point energy, and the hint of a possibility of extracting \”free energy\” from the vacuum, has attracted the attention of amateur inventors.

Taking the zero-point energy theory from physics, Lirio has applied it to generating sound from steady electro-magnetic coils found in house-hold appliances.

An album made up entirely of sound explorations of the insides of house-hold appliances, Lirio Salvador is definitely the mad scientist of electronic sound art.

All the albums will be sold at the event.
