photo credit: wiiu ! Mux­tape is a young web­site that went online in March of 2008. While it lacks an excit­ing, glossy inter­face that the iTunes gen­er­a­tion has come to expect (or even a search func­tion) it excels in two things: 1) It makes it dead sim­ple to share a mix-tape of your favourite music […]

Mashup is the music of non-linear edit­ing.  Maybe the ADHD of music? If you keep your ears open to ‘mashup’ music, you’ll have noticed the ever increas­ing com­plex­ity and den­sity of mashups.  Com­pared to the early mashups which were mainly the accapella of one song and the instru­men­tal of another, the last year or so has […]

Just released on the Treetrunk net­la­bel: K.M.Krebs  —  Con­stant. This is my inter­pre­ta­tion of the ‘Con­stant’ record­ings which began with Mystified’s ‘Con­stant’ release on Webbed Hand.  The basis under­ly­ing these record­ings is one of stark min­i­mal­ism, with long, glacially-shifting drones. This track was chal­leng­ing in that I had to work with a repeta­tive, stark and long structure […]

A big thank you to every­one who is down­load­ing and lis­ten­ing to my free Tun­guska album. I’m very pleased that I’ve almost bro­ken the 10,000 down­loads mark within nine days of its released, mak­ing it my most pop­u­lar and suc­cess­ful net label release to date. For those of you who haven’t down­loaded it or are […]

My new 833  –  45 album enti­tled Tun­guska has been released on Musica Excen­trica. For those of you unfa­mil­iar with my work as 833  –  45, here is an excerpt from the liner notes (writ­ten by Larry John­son): Just the asso­ci­a­tion of the names 833  –  45 and Tun­guska is sug­ges­tive of the sonic power inher­ent to this album. On the […]

A great deal of time as past since I released a full length album under my 833  –  45 moniker  —  but 2008 will see the release of Tun­guska on the dis­tin­guished Russ­ian net­la­bel Musica Excen­trica. Six­teen tracks total­ing 75 min­utes of abstract, untuned beats and sta­tic tones. It will be avail­able for free down­load mid-February, in both high-quality […]

Two of my tracks have been included in Twelve from 2007, a mix by LAJ (a promi­nent net­la­bel reviewer).  He has quite a few more mixes avail­able, many serv­ing as intro­duc­tions to var­i­ous net­la­bels or net­la­bel artists.  He pre­vi­ously con­structed one from my com­po­si­tions, which should pro­vide new lis­ten­ers with a map to guide them […]
