SoNiCbRaT http://sleepwalker79.multiply.com/ Our existence is but a sparkle in the night sky. Incessantly abundant, yet there for a reason of our own... reasons we may take a lifetime to discover...joint by relations to form celestial counterparts. The death does not matter, only the afterglow that surge through the vacuumous space that lasted light years can hold a definition to our existence... a condescending justification... <a href="http://www.myspace.com/s0nicbrat"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/large/0076/aebf4fd6daf04709aeaf6b89eab72b0c.jpg" border="0" title="Sonicbrat" alt="Sonicbrat" width="512" height="340' /"></a> <img src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/buffer.gif" height="4' /"> <embed allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/widgets/player/widgetPlayer.swf?emailPlaylist=artist_227309&backgroundcolor=EEEEEE&font_color=000000&posted_by=artist_227309&autoPlay=false" height="228" width="434" wmode="opaque'/"> <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/15/227309/Artist/227309/Artist/link"><img alt="sonicbrat" border="0" height="19" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/data_public/resource/image/15/player_footer.gif" width="434' /"></a> <img src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/buffer.gif" height="4' /"><a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none; " border="0" height="1" width="1" alt="Quantcast'/"></a><img style="visibility:hidden; width:0px; height:0px; " border="0" width="0" height="0" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/CIMP/bT*xJmx*PTEyMTM2NDQ*NzU4NDYmcHQ9MTIxMzY*NDQ5NDIxNiZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9bXVzaWMlNUZwbGF5ZXIlNUZmaXJzdCU1RmdlbiZuPSZnPTE=.jpg' /"> A track from the <a href="http://sonicbrat.wordpress.com/releases/sonicbrat-wenchuan/">WENCHUAN</a> album "FORCE FIELD" featuring <a href="http://www.myspace.com/motokoishii">Motoko Ishii</a> (Sweden) on vocals; lyrics by Motoko Ishii, music by sonicbrat: <embed allowscriptaccess="never" src="http://share.ovi.com/flash/audioplayer.aspx?media=SonicBrat.10450&channelname=SonicBrat.public&autoplay=true" width="145" height="60" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/s0nicbrat">Visit my Myspace [MUSIC]</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sonicbrat">Visit my Myspace [SOUND]</a> Sat, 5 Jul 2008 16:34:32 -0000 Sat, 5 Jul 2008 16:34:29 -0000 SoNiCbRaT http://images.sleepwalker79.multiply.com/logo http://sleepwalker79.multiply.com 100 100 ISEA2008:::ELECTRICITY <a href="http://sonicbrat.wordpress.com/gigs/isea2008electricity/"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/large/0277/c982d6c2875b40bba5c5b23a3bf54de6.jpg" border="0" title="ELECTRICITY" alt="ELECTRICITY" width="361" height="512" /></a> http://sleepwalker79.multiply.com/journal/item/455/ISEA2008ELECTRICITY Sat, 5 Jul 2008 16:34:29 -0000 ISEA2008:::ELECTRICITY <a href="http://share.ovi.com/media/SonicBrat.public/SonicBrat.10466"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/large/0277/c982d6c2875b40bba5c5b23a3bf54de6.jpg" border="0" title="ELECTRICITY - Share on Ovi" alt="ELECTRICITY - Share on Ovi" width="361" height="512" /=""></a> In conjunction with the International Symposium of Electronic Arts 2008, Silentt and Post Museum present to you a series of electronic and experimental music showcases.

I love the layers and walls of sounds in Reverse, the delicate and wistful melodies in dotdotdot and the sensitive and visual music in Melancholy of a Flowering Plant.

The classically trained pianist creates delicate piano pieces and glistening soundscapes that embody a childlike innocence. A firm believer in chance and imperfection, Darren Ng thrives on improvisation and records most of his tracks on the fly. While the tracks are simple, they are also intricately detailed, making it hard to believe that they were composed on the spur of the moment. Of Things Unending carries on from last year’s release Weaving, which is available for free download <a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/1/12/1695316/weaving/w%20e%20a%20v%20i%20n%20g.zip">here</a>. The formula hasn’t varied much from Weaving, however what is noticeably different is that the minimalist sound has grown to become richer, warmer and more melodic. This is the kind of music that floats over its listener requiring no effort on the listener’s part, yet manages to stay in your thoughts long after it has stopped playing.... http://sleepwalker79.multiply.com/journal/item/446/OF_THINGS_UNENDING_review_on_The_Silent_Ballet_USA Tue, 3 Jun 2008 08:42:48 -0000 When I Used To Be <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/SDxBSwoKCngAAFE-hK81"><img border="0" class="alignright" src="http://images.sleepwalker79.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SDxBSwoKCngAAFE-hK81/F1090004.jpg?et=Nl8XFXnyuAl1GgWKLAd0ZQ&nmid=0&nmid=98144029&nmid=98144029&nmid=98144029"></a>We can only remember a time When sleeping comes greeted by mornings As I close my eyes to see When I used to be... cradled by forty winks A new song using KORG M3 88, toy piano, acoustic guitar (I suck) and acousmatics + sampling object sounds and antique bells.
