eContact! 14(3): Turntablism (2013) [English, French]
Filed under journal | Tags: · experimental music, music, music history, phonograph, sound, turntablism
“In this issue of eContact!, interviews with contemporary turntablists show the many performative approaches possible with the turntable (accompanied by audio and video examples). Historical journeys back to the invention of the first devices to record and play back sound present the precursors of turntablism and offer a reflection on cultural and technical changes and similarities throughout the last century. Readers will even be encouraged to experiment with turntablism themselves, with instructions how to create their own personal record player out of cardboard. The many perspectives on sound creation with the turntable featured in this edition give an idea of the richness of the genre and the fascinating possibilities of the turntable.” (from the Editorial)
With contributions by Karin Weissenbrunner, Michael Heumann, Christopher DeLaurenti, Wolfgang Fuchs, Institut für Feinmotorik, Ian Andrews, Michael Hansen, Ignaz Schick, Daniel Neumann, Sylvain Fortier, and Andreas Engström. The issue also contains audiovisual galleries of the works by Alexandre Bellenger, Maria Chavez, Billy Roisz and Vinyl Terror & Horror, as well as wiki entries, columns, reviews and electroacoustic jukebox.

Interesting. Thanks for the links.
Is the last comment from the person who produced the Continuo wordpress blog? If so, that was one of the best music blogs I ever ran across. It is surely missed. Hope your new endeavours are proving just as satisfying!
Indeed, continuo’s other site is still active, you should check continuo-docs.tumblr.com.
Thank you, plk and dusan for the kind words. Indeed, I’m having an awful lot of fun now on Continuo’s Documents!
