BRUSSELER PLATZ 10A-MUSIK/HAJSCH - 1000 Fehler (1000 Errors)
The CD 1000 Fehler is a composition of spoken theory-fragments by Adilkno (Foundation of the Advancement of Illegal Knowledge/Amsterdam) and noise-improvisations by Brüsseler Platz 10a-Musik (Cologne). Being bored of academic culture pessimism the authors Geert Lovink, Arjen Mulder und Lex Wouterloot (Adilkno) are dedicated to illegal knowledge. Their books Cracking the Movement and The Media Archive are published by Autonomedia, New York. In their last book Elektronische Einsamkeit (Supposé 1997) they research degenerated tendencies of the roaring every day life in media. In ecstasy of speculation they try out all patterns possible and even the apocalypse is one scenario among others. After the fascination for the evil in the 80-Ǭ¥s, nowadays failure is the most interesting phenomenon: -¢‚Ǩ-ìAll hope theory could bring salvation should be eliminated. Theory is not care, nor is it a substitute for forgotten services and ideologies.-¢‚Ǩ¬ù The members of Brüsseler Platz 10a-Musik are Georg Odijk (A-musik), Jan St. Werner (Mouse on Mars, Microstoria, Lithops) und Marcus Schmickler (Pluramon, Wabi Sabi). In their sessions and live performances they use generations of conventional analog and digital consumer electronics: Record player, tape recorder, CD-Player. The complex material of spoken words and music was arranged and mixed by Hajsch (Quit Artworks/Cologne). - Suppose.
After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
