1. L.O.S.D., The Laboratory of Sonic Discovery. bio.
The Laboratory of Sonic Discovery was founded in early 1990's by Peter Fleur as a vessel for the exploration of sound. It was a continuation of his
earlier eighties projects under the names Psychomania and Peter Fleur.
From about 1983 Peter Fleur has been and still is involved in producing a weekly radio show for whs radio, radio 100 and dfm radio, titled
Discipline, therefore for the radio he is better known as Peter_d.
In these radio shows he is always looking for extremities in the sounds and music created by other people but also in his own sounds and productions.
Sometimes you can just hear some of the latest and older interesting music releases and at some times you are presented with live performances from
Peter Fleur.
Some of these live performances have been with other artists like: Dan Burke (Illusion of Safety), Masami Akita (Merzbow), Simon crab (Bourbonese
Qualk), Radboud Mens, DFM, and many others.
With L.O.S.D. he continues the sonic explorations from electronically generated and/ or manipulated sound.
This can be virtually any sound, and with a computer and some synthesizers or just a reel to reel deck with a loop, any sound producing equipment can
be possibly used in these explorations, but in the end it all ends up in the computer.
One important aspect in these sonic discoveries, is the search for life in an electronic soundspace. As with the Organic series of releases, the
organics of electonically generated vibrations are shaped and this way an entrance to a virtual soundspace is created that can only be experienced.
Another important aspect in the works of L.O.S.D. is the exploration of the lower range of frequencies. Bass is imminently apparent in most of the
outings, sometimes very minimalistic with just subtle frquency shifting of ultra low bass drone sounds, sometimes so low that it can hardly be heard,
but can not go unnoticed.
The 7 songs 77 frquencies cd is based on 77 tracks of pure sine waves in the range of 25 - 253 Hz recorded to hard disk from a Wandel u Goltermann
RC-generator MD-47.
When it comes to live performances, besides the weekly shows that can be heard over the radio or internet it is a lucky occasion to actually see a
live performance on a stage.
