Building and modifying instruments is an inextricable part of musical innovation. Our creative community is building a legacy of inventive, inspiring, surprising and sometimes very challenging work. Sharing and communicating is essential! PAiA will regularly update this page with links to artists, festivals, labels, and anything at all having to do with musical innovation.

PAiA's Yahoo Group

We recently corresponded with David Vesel, a founder of Paia's Yahoo group. His electronica Net radio show "Escape from Noise" on Cygnus radio is a not-to-be-missed treat. Escape From Noise: http://efn.purplenote.com/

He also hosts a second unique program every week featuring music of the theremin - Spellbound: http://spellbound.purplenote.com

Both of these programs are netcast on Cygnus Radio. Cygnus was created to "bring the best of independent music to a wider audience." It's a great site to keep on your short list of internet destinations. Cygnus Radio ("The signature station in independent music"): http://www.cygnusradio.com/index.php

Theremin Fantasies   Richard Wixner of Another Plane Records has released a new CD of his work with the PAiA Theremax. He uses production effects and techniques, sampling, and some custom mods to build a soundscape that is both intriguing and thrilling. Sample tracks from his CD Theremin Fantasies have found a very happy home on our Theremax page. Julie Knows Melodic Wave Previously featured: PAiA Crisco Duck featuring the PAiA FatMan.

 

Live Gigs in Experimental Music: industrial.org

When we're looking to see what's going on, we check out the calendar of shows at industrial.org. Holing up in the basement is great, recordings rule, but live shows are an indispensible & essential communication between experimental musicians and listeners. Your local media may be hip, but the best list of experimental music worldwide is online: http://industrial.org/calendar.php
