Please welcome the latest and overall sixth release by the label and net-project Frozenelephantsmusic.com. Connected Dots Connected Ideas features a collection of 13 unique tracks by international sound-artists from Japan, the United States, France, the UK, Sweden and Germany. The compilation gathers various free improvised works and digital compositions, connecting swift moments of intuition with characteristics of jazz, minimalism and electro-acoustics. It outlines the growing diversity of current tendencies in music. New digital production-technologies and communication-models have caused a crisis of artistic values and altered traditional definitions of the creative process. Methods of improvisation in combination with a contemporary digital production are a response to heated debates of authenticity vs. reproduction and originality vs. plagiarism. The collection Connected Dots Connected Ideas has gathered a group of media-artists, jazz-musicians, sound-collectives and composers who are devoted with these ideas and approaches.
The CD-release is limited to 300 copies and will be sold through the Frozenelephantsmusic.com website and record-shops. When sold out, all works will be available as free downloads.

Release Date: March 20th 2007
