It is time to vote for your favourite Laurie Anderson remixes over at Indaba. I, of course, would like as many as possible to vote for Lost Shadow’s remix, but I cannot force you, and there are many good entries. You can see them all here, or vote for Lost Shadow’s submission here. Voting is open until the 27th of May. All help is appreciated.

Laurie Anderson Remix

Lost Shadow — Tue, 11 May 2010 06:12:31 +0000

I have submitted a very alternative remix of Laurie Anderson’s “Only An Expert” to her remix contest run at Ibdaba Music. If you’re into really alternative, arty, electronic music, please listen to it (and the rest of Laurie’s production also of course). She is an extremely talented artist, both musically and lyrically. I comment on it over at Indaba:

As usual when you want to investigate a system, you tear it down to its smallest parts and then reconstruct it to create a representative model, which will, if you’re in luck, tell you what you need to know about the system…

The remix was created using a technique I will use and describe more in detail later, in a coming art project (probably not under the Lost Shadow name, though).

Welcome to Phonocratic Records

Welcome to the new Phonocratic Records site. As you might have noticed, the old site at phonocratic.tk haven’t had any updates this year. That’s because I have silently been moving here to phonocratic.com. At the same time I have shifted the whole site into a wordpress-based publishing system, which means that in the future I can focus on delivering content, not on writing HTML. I think this will turn out to be handy.

I also announce that the Lost Shadow forum will be taken down later this year. It has not been much of a success, and is mostly unused nowadays. As it will be possible to comment on every articles here, the forum’s role seems to have disappeared. I encourage you to discuss the news items posted on phonocratic.com. This site will also have an RSS-feed, so you can keep yourself up to date with Lost Shadow using your favorite RSS-reader.

This new site will focus on Lost Shadow, but also contain material from Avoid, House Mouse, Johan Bengtsson and The Alvedons. Most of the information that was found on the old site has been transferred here, feel free to contact me if there is something you’re missing!

I have also decided to make most of my music available from last.fm. Unfortunately, I cannot upload covers of other artists’ songs, but still there is more than ten albums available that you can download for free. If you like them, please consider a donation or to join the friends of Lost Shadow (can be done in the store).

In a few days a new single will be out, called Pirate Bay, to celebrate this new site. I will soon submit it to last.fm, and will tell you here when it is released. Until then, keep it up, and enjoy the new site!
