"Lowercase sound" ║▀█ █▀║ is the name given to a loose movement in electronic music that ║▀█ █▀║ emphasizes very quiet sounds and the long, empty silences between ║▀█ █▀║ them. Created largely by scientists, techies and experimental ║▀█ █▀║ musicians, lowercase recordings are frequently based on the ║▀█ █▀║ magnification of minute sounds through a computer, typically a ║▀█ █▀║ Macintosh. ║▀█ █▀║ Recent compositions include a bubbling symphony of boiling tea ║▀█ █▀║ kettles, the gentle hiss of blank tapes being played through a stereo ║▀█ █▀║ and the soft bumps of helium balloons hitting the ceiling. One recent ║▀█ █▀║ album was so quiet, listeners wondered whether it actually contained ║▀█ █▀║ any sound at all. ║▀█ █▀║ "Lowercase resembles what Rilke called 'inconsiderable things' -- the ║▀█ █▀║ things that one would not ordinarily pay attention to, the details, ║▀█ █▀║ the subtleties," said Steve Roden, the Los Angeles artist who coined ║▀█ █▀║ the term. ║▀█ █▀║ Lowercase recordings are often based on scientific subjects: an ║▀█ █▀║ amplified anthill, a mobile phone running out of power and the soft ║▀█ █▀║ pops of bacteria being flash-frozen in dry ice and methanol. Using ║▀█ █▀║ contact mikes, composers record teeny-weeny noises and amplify them ║▀█ █▀║ with software such as DigiDesign's Pro Tools. The sounds are then ║▀█ █▀║ chopped up, looped, stretched, repeated or delayed to create ║▀█ █▀║ minimalist, near-silent musical compositions. The results demand deep, ║▀█ █▀║ concentrated listening, but can be surprisingly affecting. ║▀█ █▀║ The movement grew up on the Internet and, in fact, wouldn't be ║▀█ █▀║ possible without it. ║▀█ █▀║ "It is so esoteric, it would be very difficult for any city to get a ║▀█ █▀║ critical mass of people interested in it," Russell said. "But out on ║▀█ █▀║ the Web, it's easy to. I was going towards this aesthetic for years ║▀█ █▀║ but ║▀█ █▀║ I thought I was going crazy. None of my friends enjoyed it. But then I ║▀█ █▀║ turned to the Web and I found a lot more people turned on by this. ║▀█ █▀║ I think that's been the case for a lot of people." ║▀█ █▀║ Lowercase sound hasn't made the racks of Tower or Virgin yet, but ║▀█ █▀║ there are hundreds of websites devoted to the movement or individual ║▀█ █▀║ artists, and lots of small, Web-based independent record labels. ║▀█ █▀║ It is hard to estimate the size of the audience, but Russell said ║▀█ █▀║ there may be 10,000 lowercase fans around the world. ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ - http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,52397,00.html ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ ------ ║▀█ █▀║ ║▀█ █▀║ This is John Russell's new promo CD-R.
