Benn Jordan est musicien et président fondateur du modeste label indépendant Alphabasic Records. En janvier 2008, et contrairement à ce qu’il se produisait d’habitude, il fut surpris de constater l’absence de son nouvel album sur les sites de torrents et P2P ! Alors il décida de prendre lui-même les devants en téléversant ses propres fichiers audios sur les sites de partage, mais en les accompagnant d’un court texte que nous avons décidé de traduire ci-dessous tant il nous semble original et révélateur de la situation actuelle. Ainsi tout « pirate » téléchargeant l’album se retrouvait avec un petit fichier HTML contenant le message. Libre alors à lui de le lire et d’agir en conséquence. Remarque : On pourra trouver le bilan de cette action dans le billet From Pirates To Profit. Et si vous voulez écouter quelques extraits de l’album en question il y a ce lien YouTube...

In anticipation of their showcase, MUTEK has released two significant excerpts from the film. One talks to Carl Craig, Detroit techno legend, top. Craig describes how this tech has influenced his music, and what inspired him to look at modulars. The other clip – true to MUTEK’s Canadian home base and the origin country of the film itself – looks at Canada’s contribution to electronic music history. Detroit’s place in techno certainly needs no introduction, but it’s about time Canada got its role in synthesis recognized (below), having given the world pioneer Hugh Le Caine and the University of Toronto Electronic Music Lab, among other highlights. This excerpt turns the clock forward to modern-day synth goodness. We’re of course happy to know of a certain digital synth designed in Canada, but here the modular Renaissance gets the spotlight. As the film creators explain:
