Ratican Nanalog  

















So I know it's all in Czech, but Helena Sanders gets name-dropped in an interview with noise/experimental music artist Wouter Jaspers on the site DIYcore.net
She recorded a bit of accordion on Wouter (aka Franz Fjordo) Jaspers' new album, in a studio located somewhere in the belly of an old newspaper publishing building in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

The studio is also home to a few of the experimental musicians and masterminds behind

BALOOS!  




Hello from across the ocean. DirtRoadTechnologies has moved with a skip and jump and is now peering from a window overlooking an abandoned church in the De Baarsjes neighborhood of Amsterdam, NL.

DRT threw all it could into a couple suitcases and crossed its fingers. While you may have to wait a bit longer than intended, the wait for the
Southern Holiday compilation and "the Lost Soundtracks" tape will be worth it. In the meantime, if Ross Wilbanks agrees, there will be a short film for you to view. It is called Children's Story and is a collaboration between Mr.Wilbanks and M.HelenaSanders shot in Concord, NC one late humid evening. It is Baloos #10 out of a series crafted by the crafty R.Wilbanks which you should pester him about screening.

PS. I will trade tapes for Dutch lessons.
