NIELSEN + VARIOUS ARTISTS, MADS EMIL - Framework 2

"Danish musician/composer Mads Emil Nielsen continues his Framework series; a collection of open, hand-drawn graphic scores and recordings. The series includes Nielsen's own subjective translations of the visual material and sound pieces accompanied by visual notations, and collaborations -- in this case with Andrea Neumann, Jan Jelinek, and Hideki Umezawa. "Circles" is a dense, collage of synthesizer recordings made during a residency at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion), Stockholm. The first graphic score is an illustration in three parts, based on sketches and drawings made intuitively while listening during and after the recording process. "Framework Fragments" created in collaboration with Andrea Neumann is derived from live recordings made with electronics and inside piano, and is based on the second score. The piece was made by the two musicians improvising from the seven graphic score fragments, sequenced using individual timecodes and then edited by Nielsen into a more complex collage, following closely the structure of the original recording. Originally a four-channel composition, "Framework Fragments" was presented as part of the two artists' "Creepage Current" sound installation in Berlin, Copenhagen and Milan, 2018 and 2019. Nielsen then invited two artists to interpret the notation and score -- electronic musician Jan Jelinek and sound artist Hideki Umezawa. These recordings are included on the second disc. Jelinek chose to focus on the second part of the "Circles" score -- following its structure/timeline and translating the elements into three separated loops blending in and out, one after another, surrounded by additional sounds and random textures. Umezawa interpreted the "Framework Fragments" score. Various recordings based on his improvisations made with the Serge synthesizer -- once again during a residency at EMS (2019) -- were organized to ensure the sound material correspond to each element/score fragment. Finally, the material was re-arranged in detail and edited into the nine-minute composition. 45rpm, includes fold-out insert and download code; Disc one on white vinyl and disc two on transparent vinyl; Edition of 300." - Arbitrary .

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.
