China: the Sonic Avant-Garde, 1-2 (2005-2006) [Chinese]

“This not-to-be-missed webzine about Chinese sound art is the endeavor by some of the key figures of the scene (sic, XU Cheng, etc.).

The first issue features a long interview of Dajuin Yao, the most important driving force/entrepreneur of Chinese new music, a must-read Autechre interview translated from Japanese (originally published on the Japanese magazine FADE) by Taiwan sound artist Wolfenstein, tips on field-recording by WANG Changcun and Dajuin Yao, and LI Jianhong, Ronez’s account of their latest albums.

The design job was done by XU Cheng, who’s also a designer and is responsible for artworks of many Chinese experimental releases.” (via Lawrence R.Y. LI’s blog Global Noise Offline)

Alan Lomax: Selected Writings, 1934-1997 (2003)

Alan Lomax is a legendary figure in American folk music circles. Although he published many books, hundreds of recordings and dozens of films, his contributions to popular and academic journals have never been collected. This collection of writings, introduced by Lomax’s daughter Anna, reintroduces these essential writings. Drawing on the Lomax Archives in New York, this book brings together articles from the 30s onwards. It is divided into four sections, each capturing a distinct period in the development of Lomax’s life and career: the original years as a collector and promoter; the period from 1950-58 when Lomax was recording thorughout Europe; the folk music revival years; and finally his work in academia.

LCD (Lowest Common Denominator), 18-27 (1997-2001)

“Named the best radio station in America by Rolling Stone magazine four years running, WFMU is considered the alternative radio station. The New York-area noncommercial, free-form station features programming ranging from pure rock and roll to flat-out uncategorizable strangeness such as cooking instructions, off-kilter kids’ music, and spoken-word mash-ups. LCD (Lowest Common Denominator), the station’s program guide–begun in 1986 as a visual counterpart to WFMU’s oddball programming–was a wicked cocktail of satire, cultural news, alternative history, and provocative artwork that quickly gained noteriety and earned its own devoted cult following.”
