Here is the track listing again
01 : Edward Shallow : We need Cranes Not Skyhooks
Shallow, influenced by video-games of yesteryear and the sceptical of the views of zealots, has crafted a world in which to reside. Red Plastic Park is this world. He finds the psychology of the game more interesting than the game itself and has created this staggered piece with a Nintendo Game Boy.
02 : Stuart McAdam : Found Poem
When you see a word, you see through to the objects or ideas with which it is associated.
Stuart is interested in talking around his activities as an artist as activity itself, as well as sound/image relationships and their transparencies. He is interested in how this is related to art language.
03 : Ultra – Red : Arte from artists Union de Vecinos as part of the Plaza Mariachi series
Ultra – Red is an international collective of activists, community organisers and artists who urgently probe at one of the limit cases of music (and art); how to mobilise the tools of art in a move from individual self-expression to productive collectivity, investigation and action.
04 : Ben Robinson : Black Mass / Small Print
This audio artwork is a collage of excerpts from two texts: the Black Mass, originally used in Satanic ritual, and the terms and conditions of a Lloyds bank current account. When said aloud together these incongruous sources reveal a happy consistency of purpose.
05 : I like Yellow Things : Convertibles and Headbands by The Music Magicians
Steven Myles and Valerie Norris are the creators of a new zine called I Like Yellow Things, which will be launched alongside the Spring issue of Yuck ‘n Yum. As a little pre-zine taster, Steven and Valerie
have selected for your listening pleasure a shining example of the little known but genius musical genre that is song-poems – odd music, weird lyrics, utterly unique end product.
06 : Dawn Campbell : Bring the Unicorn to Life
The H.M. Frigate Unicorn is hidden in Dundee’s City Quay and was the original venue for this sound piece. Entitled ‘Bring the Unicorn to Life’, the interactive installation consisted of twenty speakers, hidden sensors, 5.1 surround sound and discreet narratives, designed to capture visitor’s imaginations. This track is a small excerpt of some of the sounds exhibited in the Unicorn.
07 : BOX : AAARRRnnnMMMAAAHHH
BOX is the recording and performing nom-de-plume of Dundee based Audio/visual artist Neil McIntee, audio/visual artist working with drawing painting printmaking audio recording/editing/mangling guitar tape manipulation, electronics and audio installation; processing sound on computer and tape, chance operations and installations using found sounds.
The music is based in improvisation.
Thank You Arika for letting us hang out with you during the fest, we really enjoyed ourselves. But wait it’s not finished yet! There is still SO much to do and see over the weekend so check out the programme at http://www.arika.org.uk/kytn/2010 or pop down to the DCA to get the last two tracks of our mixtape and also experience some of the best audio visual art around. HOORAH.
We have a very special track today, selected by our very special friends I like Yellow Things
Convertibles and Headbands by The Music Magicians
Steven Myles and Valerie Norris are the creators of a new zine called I Like Yellow Things, which will be launched alongside the Spring issue of Yuck ‘n Yum. As a little pre-zine taster, Steven and Valerie

Title : Black Mass / Small Print
Artist : Ben Robinson
Blurb : This audio artwork is a collage of excerpts from two texts: the Black Mass, originally used in Satanic ritual, and the terms and conditions of a Lloyds bank current account. When said aloud together these incongruous sources reveal a happy consistency of purpose.
Remember Investigations and screenings are still taking place so head done to the DCA for some process based fun!
Track Three is from one of Kill Your Timid Notion’s featured artists. Ultra – Red is an international collective of activists, community organisers and artists who urgently probe at one of the limit cases of music (and art); how to mobilise the tools of art in a move from individual self-expression to productive collectivity, investigation and action.
The track we have chosen is Arte from artists Union de Vecinos as part of the Plaza Mariachi series. You can listen to more of their tracks at http://www.publicrec.org/archive/date.html
At KYTN Ultra – Red are conducting investigations into what the sound of a community organising is, so head down to the DCA to check out what they are doing.
Artist’s still to come are Ben Robinson, I Like Yellow Things, Dawn Campbell and The Box. Remember you can download the full mixtape from the 26th until the 28th.
