THREE SIXTY TUNES

Stores that support Labels!
It’s weird, but many services are making record labels obsolete. How? If you find an artist on a small label that you like, good chance they have other music releases that will fit your musical taste, as they tend to stick to a small defined form of music unlike Majors. but services like itunes, Amazon Rhapsody even Spotify do not let you look at music based on the label’s releases. So labels are getting lost in the new world of digital. Considering it’s just a live link to the catalog, I don’t understand why it wasn’t implemented in the first place. (add your conspiracy theories here)!
We are posting sites that sell our music, that support labels by allowing you to actually click on three sixty records and see our entire catalog that’s available. (seems only sites designed by DJ’s do this)

Jimmy The Fingers – I’m Only Breathing – One Sheet
Born under a bad sign between a rock and a hard place, Jimmy soon hit the skids and took to loitering outside the local chip shop in his cape, playing his demo on an old ghetto blaster whilst scrabbling around for tit-bits and narrowly avoiding kebab meat thrown at him for trying to drink peoples beer. Darkhorse AKA Graham Shrimpton of Three Sixty Records heard the tape, found him covered in chips in a nearby dumpster, dusted him down, and discovered the kid actually had some talent. Taking him on and producing his debut album for release on Three Sixty Records. Graham co-produced the Grammy winning album Global Drum Project. The Bristol, San Francisco connection was made.
“Imagine a dark bar with Prince and Beck conversing over cider, as Frank Zappa and Jack Johnson are taking bets in the corner, dirty electro is playing on the jukebox in the background and you’ve got the Jimmy The Fingers sound.” 360
In his youth Jimmy busted out toons under the monikers Superdense Child and Zooface, and as a DJ has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Afrika Bambaata, Radio One’s Breezeblock show, Rahzel, Krafty Kuts, The Herbaliser, Fatboy Slim, Bonobo, and many more. He played keys in bands with Quantic, TM Juke, and Alice Russell from blossoming Brighton label Tru Thoughts. Then he found out he could sing, so he struck out on his own. Nowadays he works live with Kaoss Pads, synths and a cape.
“Jimmy The Fingers writes about life as he sees it; a joyous and just plain silly occasion, marred only by the wonders of temptation and the melancholy. His musical stylings ever changing, he’s always one step ahead of the kids.” 360

From tiny boyChilds’ massive phenomenas grow. ??This is the sound of one hand clapping. Pure joy inside a bubble of pain. There’s magic in the gaps between the spaces.??Transformative and ethereal, each sound painstakingly selected from life’s great palette.??This is what carved ice would sound like.??Do yourself a favour, and let boyChild hug your soul…
Loving it!

by Bobby Muska – ***** 5 stars
ive been listening to boyChild since the summer when he released his first six songs which can be bought on his band camp account, and since then ive fallen in love with his gloomy, dark, ambient, and purely electronic sound. when you listen to boyChild’s music it almost like it belongs in a tim burton film, this EP as ill call it, is the same. Counting What If’s was one of the very first six songs he released, and to see it now on itunes it warms my heart because i know boyChild will be big and very well known soon. so buy this you like charismatic electronic tunes with a pinch of gloom, and i guarantee you’ll be happy your spent the 4 bucks. like him on facebook as well.

Artist Bio’s
boyChild was initially inspired to start creating music in the early 90’s when pirate radio was the main source of new and exciting music. Hours would be spent taping and cataloguing these shows on cassettes accompanied by constant aerial tweaking. A chance discovery of a copy of MED (a basic tracker music program) meant that this boy’s life would now follow a different path.
After many years locked away studying his craft, boyChild at last settled on his own sound. Described by others as beautiful and melancholic, it is electronic in its construction, but with an organic and human feel to it. With glitching electronic noises working alongside real piano, violin and cello part the result is a unique combination of cold and warm, sad and uplifting. The genre is hard to pin down, and this is deliberate.
Influences (but not necessarily sound-a-likes) include modern classical/soundtrack artists such as Craig Armstrong, Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, to electronic artists like Venetian Snares, The Flashbulb and of course The Prodigy, who were a large influence in boyChild’s formative years.
A humble studio setup keeps things simple and allows ideas to form quickly and naturally. The technology comes second place to letting a story be told. Each musical project is based around a particular memory, often from childhood.
Our newest member to the Three Sixty fold. His first release will be the single “Counting What Ifs,” featuring Soundmouse.
Soundmouse
Soundmouse, so called because of her sweet and soft, almost delicate vocal sound, has always been musical, playing piano from a very young age. Initially attracted to the technology and production side of music, singing wasn’t part of her master plan at first. But a chance meeting with a Bristol dubstep producer called Phaeleh quickly whisked her from obscurity into an emerging scene, suddenly finding her vocals on a Ministry of Sound Compilation and as an NME download of the week, amongst other things.
Soundmouse’s intention with vocals is to convey emotion in the sound and tone, focusing on the delivery of words. The overall sound is soft with layers and harmonies to build intensity subtly, instead of the usual diva-like belters.
Vocal influences include the Icelandic Emilliana Torrini and Bjork. Her musical influences vary quite a bit, usually combining her passion for folk and acoustic music with glitchy electronica. These include Nosaj Thing, Mum, Bibio, The Tiny and Nick Drake.
As well as several collaborative projects as a singer, Soundmouse is also currently working on her debut E.P. encompassing elements of laptop folk and glitch, fused with delicate vocal melodies, and there is much more to come….

Boychild was inteviewd by Grungecake, read the rest here
How did boyChild come to be? What is the significance of the boyChild character?
Well, for as long as I can remember my younger sister has called me boychild. I don’t know when it started, or why, but it seemed to stick and so it was the obvious choice for an alter ego. The idea of having this other character front my musical output appealed to me. I wanted something to hide behind ‘cos I’m shy. And when I stumbled across this designer who had these illustrations of the boy character it all just seemed to fit. I had been making music years ago, very different to what I make now, but then I stopped, for quite some time. Personal events led me to get inspired to do it again, and with a new and more focused direction. And this time I had a name and an identity.

This is our third compilation, which show-cases some of Three Sixty’s favorite new and old songs, with some old favs from our archives.

Sr Mandril, Electro 7 and Space Funghi Project of Mexico City, and a couple of invited artists who we love, All India Radio and Man Or Mouse, this compilation shows the wide range of music at Three Sixty Records.
We have asked a couple of guest artists we love to join our usual suspects of this compilation.

We are ManOrMouse? and together we are strong!.. .. Beck and Bowie busk on the Pavement outside La Roxy, while Benny Hill passes round the hat.
All India Radio
Conceived in 1999 as an experimental music outlet for Martin Kennedy, All India Radio has steadily evolved into a ‘chilltronica’ outfit easily combining genres such as ambient, lo-fi, world music, post-rock into deep lush and cinematic soundscapes. Their music has been used in CSI: Miami, One Tree Hill, Michael Moore’s hit film Sicko, Australia’s long running hit Bondi Rescue, Bondi Bali, Big Brother and many more.
The band has been nominated for an Australian music Industry ARIA Award, toured the USA and worked with Australian music legends The Church’s Steve Kilbey (who wrote the magical ‘Under The Milky way’ rediscovered by the world in the hit movie ‘Donnie Darko’) and Graham Lee (The Triffids, KLF).
“Since the turn of the 21st century, All India Radio has mashed the ambient-hop signatures of DJ Shadow, Tortoise and Thievery Corporation with the instantly recognizable guitar soundtracking of Ennio Morricone and Angelo Badalamenti. The resulting narcotic musical textures are capable of floating listeners to galaxies far, far away.” wired.com

History of Reel to Reel from Wikipedia
The reel-to-reel format was used in the very earliest tape recorders, including the pioneering German Magnetophon machines of the 1930s. Originally, this format had no name, since all forms of magnetic tape recorders used it. The name arose only with the need to distinguish it from the several kinds of tape cartridges or cassettes which were introduced in the early 1960s.
Reel-to-reel tape was also used in early tape drives for data storage on mainframe computers, video tape machines, and later for high quality analog audio recorders as early as the late 1940s, up until modern day studios where it is still in use. Studer, Stellavox, Nagra, Denon and Otari currently manufacture analog reel-to-reel recorders.
The earliest machines produced distortion during the recording process which German engineers significantly reduced during the Nazi era by applying a high-frequency bias current to the recording head along with the desired signal. American audio engineer Jack Mullin was a member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II. His unit was assigned to investigate German radio and electronics activities, and in the course of his duties, he acquired two Magnetophon recorders and 50 reels of I.G. Farben recording tape from a German radio station at Bad Nauheim (near Frankfurt). He had these shipped home. Over the next two years, he worked to develop the machines for commercial use, hoping to interest the Hollywood film studios in using magnetic tape for movie soundtrack recording.
Unitra ZK-147, a vintage Polish-made reel-to-reel tape recorder
Mullin gave a demonstration of his recorders at MGM Studios in Hollywood in 1947, which led to a meeting with Bing Crosby, who immediately saw the potential of Mullin’s recorders to pre-record his radio shows. Crosby invested $50,000 in a local electronics company, Ampex, to enable Mullin to develop a commercial production model of the tape recorder. Using Mullin’s tape recorders and with Mullin as his chief engineer, Crosby became the first American performer to master commercial recordings on tape and the first to regularly pre-record his radio programs on the medium. Ampex and Mullin subsequently developed commercial stereo and multitrack audio recorders, based on the system invented by Ross Snyder of Ampex Corp. Les Paul had been given one of the first Ampex Model 200 tape decks by Crosby in 1948 and went on to use Ampex eight track “Sel Sync” machines for multitracking. Ampex went on to develop the first practical videotape recorders in the early 1950s to pre-record Crosby’s TV shows.
Inexpensive reel-to-reel tape recorders were widely used for voice recording in the home and in schools before the Philips compact cassette, introduced in 1963, gradually took over. Cassettes eventually displaced reel-to-reel recorders for consumer use. However, the narrow tracks and slow recording speeds used in cassettes compromised fidelity. Following the example set by Bing Crosby, high-speed reel-to-reel tape recorders rapidly became the main recording format used by audiophiles and professional recording studios until the late 1980s when digital audio recording techniques began to allow the use of other types of media (such as Digital Audio Tape (DAT) cassettes and hard disks).
Even today, some artists of all genres prefer analog tape’s “musical”, “natural” and especially “warm” sound. Due to harmonic distortion, bass can thicken up, creating the illusion of a fuller-sounding mix. In addition, high end can be slightly compressed, which is more natural to the human ear. It is common for artists to record to digital and re-record the tracks to analog reels for this effect of “natural” sound. In addition to all of these attributes of tape, tape saturation is a unique form of distortion that many rock and blues artists find very pleasing.
Euphonic distortion and noise levels aside, high-quality analog tape currently outstrips the transparency of all but the best digital recording/playback systems: digital systems can suffer from (among other problems) clock jitter, inferior analog circuitry, inferior digital filter design, improper wordlength conversion, and/or lack of correct dithering. Dramatic improvements in the average quality of digital hardware design are narrowing the gap, though, and might soon eliminate the quality distinction altogether.
Khmer Passages
Khmer Passages – Songs for Cycles of Cambodian Life
This Album is a catalog of the music of Khmer Life – birth, coming of age, religious ordination, marriage, illness and death. A tapestry of human experience told in music and song. Three Sixty Records is proud to release recordings from the Cambodian Living Arts project.
Three Sixty will be giving 100% of income from song sales back to CLA to help support the program.
Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) was founded eight years ago by Arn Chorn-Pond, a Cambodian-American refugee who was featured in the Emmy-nominated movie, The Flute Player. Originally called the Cambodian Masters Performing Project (CMPP), Arn founded this organization when he first returned to Cambodia in order to support the music teachers who helped him survive the horrors of the Khmer Rouge.
Approximately ninety percent of Cambodia?s performing artists died during the Khmer Rouge regime, a devastating blow to all of Cambodia?s oral traditions. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, this cultural tragedy was compounded by two subsequent decades of economic hardship, when very few of the surviving master musicians could make a living performing or teaching.
Cambodian Living Arts, a project of World Education, works to support the revival of traditional Khmer performing arts and to inspire contemporary artistic expression. CLA supports arts education, mentorship, networking opportunities, education, career development, and income generating projects for master performing artists who survived the Khmer Rouge as well as the next generation of student artists. We work with the vision that by the year 2020, Cambodia will experience a cultural renaissance so dynamic that the arts will become the country?s international signature. In doing so, CLA empowers arts students and masters to develop the performance skills and social and professional networks that will help them to make a living through the arts. Since 2003, the number of performances by masters and students has increased by 400% due to CLA?s support; consequently, some performing groups earn from $200-$4,000+ more in income each year from performances alone. Through the performing program, Cambodian Living Arts supports the masters and students to take better advantage of the changing opportunities available to them.

Cambodian Evictions Effect Students and Masters.
This is the first report from Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) and deals with the Cambodian evictions from the land grab that has effected the students and the masters. Presented by Arn Chorn-Pond. These reports were filmed, edited and completed by the students in cambodia.
Approximately ninety percent of Cambodia’s performing artists died during the Khmer Rouge regime, a devastating blow to all of Cambodia’s oral traditions. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, this cultural tragedy was compounded by two subsequent decades of economic hardship, when very few of the surviving master musicians could make a living performing or teaching. Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) was founded eight years ago by Arn Chorn-Pond, a Cambodian-American refugee who was featured in the Emmy-nominated movie, The Flute Player. Originally called the Cambodian Masters Performing Project (CMPP), Arn founded this organization when he first returned to Cambodia in order to support the music teachers who helped him survive the horrors of the Khmer Rouge.
CLA’s four core programs—teaching, performing, recording, and new commissions—support 16 master musicians and nearly 300 students and assistant teachers to develop skills and relationships that will enable them to generate income and develop as leaders, while also helping to preserve and celebrate their heritage. CLA works with the belief that supporting arts education is a way for people to grow and develop and heal from the traumas and hardships of both the past and the present, not only because knowing the traditional arts keeps younger generations connected to their heritage and the elders in their community, but because through the mentoring and guidance process, the students and masters build their confidence, are able to exercise leadership skills, and nurture hopes for the future.
Three Sixty Records is working with Cambodian Living Arts (A project of World Education) to release the music from this program globally with 100% of all proceeds going back to CLA.
