Introducing.... 111 : Tracks, mixes, releases, forum etc.

Post by Forensics » Wed Apr 14, 2010 7:02 pm

As you might expect, 111 is a bunch of artists working at 111bpm.

There are no set genres, anything is welcome.

Artistry is valued over production.

Here are a few examples:

Soundcloud





And here's a mix recorded for Knowledge Magazine, featuring tracks from Two Oh One, A Bridge Far Away, Misk, Be-1ne, Baureihe, Kidlogic, Lefthandpath, Shivva, Furcht, Lacifaeria & Splitter: http://www.kmag.co.uk/editorial/feature ... -interview. More mixes are in the pipeline....

In terms of releases - there are five A Bridge Far Away tracks out now on Methodology Recordings, and there are a bunch of 111s on the forthcoming Methodology 'Safe Mode' compilation. Beyond that there will be a label dedicated to 111, more on that in the near future hopefully.

To find out more visit http://one11bpm.com/forum. And yeah, get involved if you like what you hear!

honestly i'm not sure what to make of the concept. at least musically i think it is rather silly to define the 'group' as doing whatever they like as long as it is 111bpm. I really don't see the point but what do I know, i'm not the artist. Could you maybe explain where you're heading with this concept?

btw the clips sound sick, i'll give you that!

@upreal
maybe that is a good aspect to it. ya can sit down and make tune. whatever comes out. don't have to worry about genre, normal structures, and formulas....ending up with something hopefully different and new....perhaps?

Precisely Mr Idlemode!

We do sometimes make tracks around 'constraints', to spice things up a bit. Anyone can start a constraint....

sounds interesting - but mostly it looks like making an experimental electronica or ambient/industrial - in free time i can give it a try

Wouldn't say that. You could make dubstep-style tracks, or electro/techno/whatever you feel like.... We do put some emphasis on art & meaning, but those are subjective terms :D

Yes. This is how it works. Genres define how you sound. Even so-called 'open' genres force a specific audio aesthetic onto you. Artists often feel they have sound a certain way to get heard or appreciated when working in a set genre or scene. This is a shame as it makes everything sound the same. 111 allows you to make anything you like, as long as you use 111 bpm as the tempo. Having a basic requirement puts a constraint on the artist, which at first might seem somewhat harsh and confining, but those who have made tracks have found it extremely liberating. There is something remarkable about this tempo as it can feel both fast or slow. A lot of different beats can live here. Sometimes you just have to try something to 'get it.'

We already have some wildly different music and its really exciting to hear it all come together in one place. We consider ourselves post-genre. A lot of us are slightly older and have seen a lot of musical genres come and go over the years. 111 is a good place for people who can appreciate a lot of different styles. The more we grow, the larger the talent pool and the larger the variety.

111 bpm is the only rule which is in constant use, but our method is taken further by the issuing of occasional artistic constraints. These are challenging works that offer an additional 2 rules to be taken into account by the artists. These rules can be anything (as long as it doesn't negate the first rule). A good example is the 'mother' constraint. It gives a second rule as a thematic element, i.e Mother, and a third rule stating no drums or percussion. It is then up to the artists who want to get involved with this to write an expressive track following these constraints. Once enough pieces of music are written in a constraint, we will release all the tracks as part of a themed compilation that could be put together as a continuous mix, or not.

So far, its been an extremely good and mind opening experience.
