Recreating the Domain is a set of artist-created recorded walking tours of the Domain, the controversial north Austin shopping center/residence/office park. Rather than having a traditional gallery presence, visitors will be able to download the walking tours and attend the exhibition on their own time, making Recreating the Domain a permanent exhibition.
my piece, century oaks, is included in this project and available for free download at recreatingthedomain.org

sous le pieds la terre comp available, free download
One year ago, Philippe Baudouin (aka Monsieur Tympan - phonographer)
and Alexandre Manzanares (photographer) have produced a sound and
photographic documentary about rural world, available on CD, called
"Sous les pieds, la terre" (which means "Under the feet, the land"). To
realize this project, they have collected sounds and pictures of people
and landscapes they've met on the road: old country people, kids in
garden, sounds of agricultural tools, beauty of mountains... In
September 2008, Philippe decided to put online 30 samples of the sounds
he recorded and to collaborate with Headphonica to release on their
netlabel. With this sound samples, everyone was invented to make his
own remix! The idea was to propose people to appropriate these
field-recordings and to make a subjective remix. Even if these
different sounds come from a very little part of the world (Vaucluse,
France), the 80 remixes we've received show us the universality of
these ones. Here is the result sent by people from all over the world!
Enjoy yourself!

foxy digitalis reviews wondrous horse
here
Double bass and piano weren’t used in the recording of this album.
Which is significant, as the list of instruments used makes up four
entire lines of the press sheet (and a considerable part of the liner
notes) and includes just about everything from theremin to Turkish saz,
from violin to shruti box and from xylophone to drum machine. While
such eclecticism isn’t always a good thing, Vanessa Rossetto and
Salvatore Borrelli (aka etre) somehow make it work: The eleven tracks
on “Cavallo Meraviglioso” are given enough room to breathe, even the
meandering eleven-minute track “Ogni intuizione Ë il tangibile segno
del declino” never gets lost on its way to bucolic bliss.
Rossetto and Borrelli hail as an Italian/American duo, but I feel that
they would sit nicely in the Finnish scene as well, what with
Rossetto’s vocals reminding me of Islaja or Kuupuu. Wondrous Horse’s
dreamy free folk really is that good. I’m particularly fond of the
gentle strumming on tracks like – wait – “Il tempo ha posato sei voci
she gridano” but this playful, yet focussed album is enjoyable from
start to finish. Ah, and Valerio Cosi appears on one of the tracks as
well: “Questi Orizzonti Scomparsi” – even their track titles sound like
music! 7/10 -- Jan-Arne Sohns (10 December, 2008)

’fall’ available for free download on bagatellen
“fall” achieves industrial ambiance through strings and whispers, and manages to confound a little. Eleven minutes of evolution is poised for at least another 20. Yet concision is eloquence, and “fall” is mighty effective in that regard. Vanessa’s Whoreson In the Wilderness gets regular play around here, so it’s extra nice to feature her music for “listen”.
Environmental recordings, viola, and cello; Recorded and mastered by Vanessa Rossetto, Austin, October 2008.
