New Release

Quiet Design just released some of my material entitled "SINK." To check it out go here

Here's what Vital Weekly had to say about it

JOSH RUSSELL | SINK
Sometimes things are not what they seem to be. And sometimes they are. When I popped in this new release by Josh Russell, I thought we were dealing with the same person who presented microsound compilations on his own Bremstrahlung label but the sound coming out of my speakers weren't certainly microsounding at all. Loud, skipping, almost earthly sounds. Damaged speakers? Damaging speakers? Can't be the same, right? But yes, it's the same person. I checked the press message, and yes, it's him. He has a background in biochemistry and microscopy research, and 'Sink', while loud, may represent a bit of that background. It sounds like a chemistry lab, with obscure fluids being boiled, amplified and brought alive. Or looking through the looking glass and see lots of similar bacteria crawling about - it's them singing on this release. Russell puts on quite an amount of amplification to let you hear them. His loudest record to date, it says. Is he deliberately trying to break out of the microsound world? I hope so, since this sounds great. It has all the trade marks of microsound (minimal, glitch, plug ins, hey maybe even field recordings), but it's so much louder. In the dead end alley that microsound has become it's good to see someone trying to change things and Russell does a really fine job on 'Sink'. Excellently produced with a finer sense of detail in the entire sound range, moving about and varied. Rather one piece divided in ten steps than ten different pieces. The future of microsound has started. (FdW) Address: http://www.quietdesign.us "

I also decided to put up a myspace music page. I thought it'd be a great place to put up unpublished material. Click here

Focusing primarily on avant-garde music and sound-art via in-depth interviews and essays this magazine is full of fascinating information you won't find anywhere else. A must read!

I just finished up an interview with the German experimental music e-zine Tokafi which should be posted soon on thier site.

The Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology at the Univeristy of Texas will be hosting an exhibiton entitled "Data and Micrographs" of my mixed media and paintings in their core facilities from May to September 2007.

This website is up!

The German experimental music e-zine Tokafi picked my FOR album as their featured release in Jan 2007. Their review (in English) of it is here. Since this release is now out of print, I've made it avaliable for download on this site in the audio section.
