BSWC One-a-Day: The Fuzz - God Bless the Radio

A classic.

From the very first release of Chenard Walcker's netlabel, Free Sample Zone comes this incredible slice of the era. The tune was originally released in 1994 and rereleased on FSZ ten years later in 2004.

The Fuzz explained in the original notes why they refused to pay royalties for using samples. They encouraged artists to follow their policy. They had no success, neither with the music nor with the Free Sample movement. They released their following albums under the name of The O.

I'll be on the air later tonight. BSWC-The Show will be featuring tribute material from the WM Recordings Chenard Walcker tribute release....look for some classic Walcker stuff to go along with the feature release.

BSWC One-a-Day: Otis Fodder - Nous aimons oui

The first volume of the Chenard Walcker tribute release is up at WM Recordings. A impressive beginning, I must say.

Chenard Walcker is the plunderphonic wunderkind responsible for all sorts of audio madness. Unfortunately, he was stricken and is now recovering.

Chenard Walcker, a friend of the online music world, is slowly recovering from a diabetic coma. His brother reports that he is not physically suffering. He fell into the coma in September 2006, and is now working on speech development and object differentiation.

We all are hoping for a full recovery. Chenard's presence is missed.

BSWC One-a-Day: Chenard Walcker - Middle

Back to Comfort Stand for today's post, and back to one of Biotic's favorite artists (and mine) - Chenard Walcker. What is cool about this track, and this release csr046, is that it is remixed bits of csr001 through csr044. I chose Middle because it contains some of my favorite bits from people like Martinibomb, Mr. Melvis, Otis Fodder, and Bruce Lenkei ... but it should be noted that the entire release is a good one.

Of Chenard: "Chenard Walcker was raised upon no secret formula but this one : Surrealist altruism. So, he became a cut and paste addict." He is a genius in this space and always produces excellent work into the commons. Unfortunately in September 2006, he fell into a diabetic coma. and is now working on speech development and object differentiation. WM Recordings is putting together a tribute album, and if you want to contribute, the deadline is coming up soon on Jan 31.

Chenard Walcker Tribute

Sad news from WM Recordings:

Chenard Walcker, a friend of the online music world, is slowly recovering from a diabetic coma. His brother reports that he is not physically suffering. He fell into the coma in September, and is now working on speech development and object differentiation. Chenard is the prolific visual and musical collage artist who operates the Free Sample Zone with 58 releases available for download. Chenard also has two releases available on our label and he has contributed to various compilations. So many of us have benefited from and enjoy Chenard's work. This is our chance to repay our sweet friend and to send him our love with a tribute release on WM Recordings.

Submissions for the tribute should be sent to WM Recordings by January 31, 2007. They have more information on the tribute page.
