Partnering with NoSourceMusic for Uniform Motion – "Pictures"

Partnering with NoSourceMusic for Uniform Motion - 'Pictures'

(german version below)

As some of you might already know, we have just released the wonderful, new album of Unifrom Motion, simply called Pictures. This intriguing piece of art, combining music and illustration is still available as a free download on our homepage. We are however not the only label supporting Uniform Motion. Despite global networking there will be as well an US- release of Pictures, provided by the likeable label No Source.

No Source is based in the US- state with the most complicated name (Massachusetts) and has been enriching the world with releases in all kinds of genres, mostly folk and several types of electro. Three Eps, two full length albums and one compilation are the result of one year of labelwork. In order to get a first impression of their musical approaches we would recommend you to listen to the compilation mentioned above: “Hey you, choose your own adventure” gives a good overview of the work and preferences of No Source.

Additional to the comparably similar musical programme it is the use of creative commons licences, which link No Source with aaahh. Pictures will be released under the same type of licence as with us (creatice commons by-nc). We are looking forward to a fertile and delightful cooperation with our American friends and would like to encourage you to take a look at their website an listen to the music they support.

Hilfe für Haiti

arche-noVa

Liebe Freunde der aaahh-Musik,

für uns, ne:o aus Dresden und Keyboard Rebel aus Manchester endete das Jahr 2009 sehr erfolgreich. Gemeinsam gelang es uns, eine wunderschöne Tour durch Deutschland zu organisieren.

Viele Leute haben uns dabei auf verschiedene Art und Weise unterstützt. Es wurden Übernachtungen gestellt, Kaffee gekocht, lecker Essen bereit gestellt, Daumen gedrückt, gemeinsam gefrühstückt, getanzt, zugejubelt, mitgeschnitten, Fotos geschossen und Kölsch ausgeschenkt. Aber ohne den schönen Tourbus, den uns die Dresdner Hilfsorganisation arche-noVa zur Verfügung gestellt hatte, wäre diese Tour wahrscheinlich nicht zustande gekommen.

Jetzt möchten wir im Gegenzug etwas für arche-noVa tun. Oft, wenn auf unserem Planeten Menschen durch Naturkatastrophen in Not geraten, ist der Verein vor Ort, um zu helfen. Im Moment sind acht ihrer Mitarbeiter auf Haiti, wo sie sich nach den schlimmen Erdbeben um die Inbetriebnahme von Trinkwasseraufbereitungsanlagen kümmern.

Wir bitten Euch, diese fabelhaften Leute und ihre wichtige Arbeit mit eine Spende zu unterstützen.

Zum Beispiel mit einer SMS mit ARCHE (GROSS- oder kleinschreibung ist egal) an die 8 11 90. Eine SMS kostet 5 Euro zzgl. der normalen Transportgebühr, davon gehen direkt an die arche-noVa 4,83 Euro. Damit unterstützt du die Trinkwasserversorgung und Nothilfe für die Erdbebenopfer in Haiti.

Auf der folgenden Seite könnt Ihr Euch nicht nur über arche-noVas Aktivitäten auf Haiti informieren. Dort findet Ihr auch die Angaben zum Spendenkonto.

Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe

Remixing AAAHH-RECORDS

Hello everybody,

we would like you to get involved in the process of making music. Grab the samplepacks and get it on. We take a step forward and try to open up aaahh records to a “open source music label”. We like the idea of a remix and can’t wait to listen to your cool stuff. It’s allways very surprising and inspiring what you people come up with.

You can remix Uniform Motion, Keyboard Rebel and Entertainment For The Braindead. All these artists provided their musical sources for you. They opened up their (he)art to let you speak through it. You may call it a remix, but we prefer to call it a Multimedia-Communication-Process. Because Creative Commons Licensing is freeing music from it’s passive consumption and allows a creative way of communication.

Get the sources, be creative!

Here are some remixes that have already been sent to us:

Uniform Motion – "Pictures" OUT NOW!

Uniform Motion - Pictures

Uniform Motion are not an ordinary band. At least not in the original meaning of the word. This bunch of young Anglo-French men are more than a musical formation, they emerged and grew as an entire art project, combining their three foundations of creative work: words, sounds and looks. And their wonderful debut “Pictures” is our first release in 2010 and probably the first release worldwide entering the new decade! Happy listening, sharing and remixing!
