Ken Kutaragi, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., said he and other Sony employees have been frustrated for years with management's reluctance to introduce products like Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod, mainly because the Tokyo company had music and movie units that were worried about content rights. Now, Sony's divisions are finally beginning to work together and share a common agenda, Kutaragi said at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Tokyo. "It's just starting," he told reporters. "We are growing up." High-ranking Sony officials have rarely publicly said their proprietary views were a mistake. Kutaragi, who has long been viewed as a candidate to lead Sony, was unusually direct in acknowledging Sony had made an error and blaming proprietary concerns from its entertainment division. Sony's music players initially did not support MP3 files and only played Sony's own format called Atrac. Kutaragi said Sony's original spirit of innovative technology had grown "diluted." "We have to concentrate on our original nature — challenging and creating," he said. Once the powerhouse of global electronics, exemplified in its Walkman, Sony has lost some of its glamour lately, losing out in profitability and market share to cheaper Asian rivals. Kutaragi — known as the "Father of the PlayStation" for making the game machine a pillar of Sony's business — said the new handheld, PSP or PlayStation Portable, will grow into a global platform for enjoying music and movies as well as games. Sony is boosting production to one million a month this spring to keep up with demand for the PlayStation Portable, which has sold 800,000 since going on sale Dec. 12 in Japan, Kutaragi said. It is set to go on sale in the United States and Europe this spring.

Press from 1965-1967. Long out-of-print and rarely seen, UbuWeb has reformatted all twenty titles into new PDF editions. Featuring titles by: Allan Kaprow, Bengt af Klintberg, David Antin, George Brecht, Philip Corner, Robert Filliou, Al Hansen, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, Jackson Mac Low, Various Manifestos, Claes Oldenburg, Dieter Roth, Jerome Rothenberg, Luigi Russolo, Wolf Vostell, Emmett Williams, The Zaj Group, John Cage and others. Gregory Whitehead: A 20 Year Survey A comprehensive twenty-year survey of MP3s, comprised of 52 tracks, varying in length from a few minutes to over an hour. Several of the pieces are heard here for the first time; others were commissioned by the BBC, NPR and New American Radio; many are live air-checks and full-length radio-plays. Also included in this survey are several pieces of writing by Whitehad on the subject radio, ranging from interviews to manifestoes. The Tape-beatles, Public Works, PhonoStatic Cassettes UbuWeb announces the launch of the Public Works archive, consisting of digitial transfers of dozens of cassettes, LPs, and CDs into MP3s. The Tape-beatles are a collaboration of varying membership that make music and audio art recordings, "expanded cinema" performances, videos, printed publications, and works in other media. They work under the aegis of Public Works Productions. PhotoStatic was a magazine, a periodical series of printed works, that focused on xerography (photocopy) as a creative medium. Founded in 1983, the title continued in some form until as late as 1998. A companion publication on audio cassette was dubbed PhonoStatic, with the inaugural issue appearing in 1984. In all, ten cassette issues were released at roughly six-month intervals, culminating with the "Audio Collage" cassette in 1989. The complete PhonoStatic cassette archive is available on UbuWeb. The Dial-A-Poem Poets The latest additions to UbuWeb's collection of legendary downtown New York LPs produced in the 70s and 80s by John Giorno include: You're The Guy I Want To Share My Money With, William S. Burroughs / John Giorno, A Diamond Hidden in the Mouth of a Corpse, and John Giorno & Anne Waldman. Artists on these discs include: Laurie Anderson, John Giorno, William S. Burroughs, Anne Waldman, Hüsker Dü, Cabaret Voltaire, David Johansen, Diamanda Galas, Jessica Hagedorn, David van Tieghem, Coil, Michael Gira, and Sonic Youth. (MP3) Live To Air: Artist's Sound Works (1982) "Live to Air" comprises an international compilation of artists' sound works. Forty-five artists were invited to make a work for the context of Audio Arts Magazine with an approximate duration of five minutes. Originally produced on three Dolby cassettes, this out-of-print compilation includes artists such as Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, Barbara Ess, Art & Language, Lawrence Weiner, Jack Goldstein, Dieter Roth, Tom Marioni, Les Levine and Marina Abramovic and many others. Includes scans of original liner notes and artwork. Yves Klein "Selected Writings, 1928-1962" Originally published by the Tate Gallery in 1974, this collection of aphorisms, stories and photographs documents the trajectory of a lifetime's worth of thought from the great French conceptual artist. From the introduction: "Klein's work lends itself very well to this mode of presentation. Although immensely varied in its means it seems to divide into sections naturally and with unusual clarity as if it were the chapters of a book, each chapter pressing home one particular point. This characteristic does not, of course, rob Klein's art of subtlety, mystery or ambiguity-quite the reverse; it is perhaps the result of his trenchant, often theatrical or ritualistic modes of expression. Certain of his activities have, therefore, a quality which makes them at once memorable, mythical and self-defining. At the same time they are all concerned with a single constellation of ideas." Andreas Ammer: Selection of Hörspiele, 1993-1999. Originally produced for German radio (Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk, WDR3). Includes two collaborations with FM Einheit: Radio Inferno (1993) and Crashing Aeorplanes and three collaborations with Console: Heimat & Technik Das Heidegger-Bootleg (2000) The Official Olympic Bootleg (2000) and Bugs & Beats & Beasts (1999). Gertrude Stein's "Geography and Plays" In an ongoing celebration of the roughly 100th anniversary of Gertrude Stein's Geography and Plays, softpalate (www.softpalate.org) has matched various sound artists (audio artists, performance artists, soundtext artists, composers, radio producers, soundpoets, DJ's, re-mix artists, turntablists, etc.) with texts from Geography and Plays. Included here are the first five plays as realized by Warren Burt, John Wanzel, Students from Bella Vista Elementary School and David Braden, and Fadladder. (MP3) Artsounds Rare out-of-print double LP from 1985 of artists' recordings. Includes tracks by Larry Rivers, Marcel Duchamp, Connie Beckley, Cotten/Prince, Minneko Grimmer, Philemona Williamson, Jeff Gordon, Tony McAulay, Jonathan Borofsky, Les Levine, Burton Van Deusen, Tom Wesslemann, Marcy Brafman, Philip Johnson, John Burgee, Italo Scanga, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, Bob Gruen, Yura Adams, and Jennifer Bartlett. Includes extensive liner notes. (MP3) Stephen Vitiello "Collaborations and Unreleased MP3s" Stephen Vitiello is a composer of electronic music and media artist. He works in mediums ranging between installation, internet, video, film, dance and music for audio CD. Presented here are rare pieces and collaborations with Pauline Oliveros, Joe McPhee, Tony Conrad, Yasunao Tone and Scanner. People Like Us "Abridged Too Far" (2004) For the first time, UK-based People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) is releasing a new album exclusively online here on UbuWeb. "Abridged Too Far" is a collection of audio work first conceived through experimentation through or on radio. On this new collection, People Like Us continues its pastiche of impressions of popular music from Europe and America from the 1920s thru to 1990s. Vicki Bennett's work is an examination of the affect of hearing well known tunes and lyrics in fragments, then putting those elements to play-- resonating, intermingling and recombining with the listeners own associations and shards of memories. Full-color downloadable artwork and liner notes are available. The 365 Days Project UbuWeb is pleased to announce the re-launch and permanent home of curator Otis F. Odder's 365 Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day -- of mostly outsider, novelty, and oddball recordings -- was made available for the public to download over the course of 2003. Briefly taken offline at the end of the project, it is now presented here in its entirety, complete with images and vast commentary on each selection. The 365 Days Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned, newly-named and much expanded Outsiders section. Stan Brakhage "The Brakhage Lectures" (1972) Unavailable writings by filmmaker Stan Brakhage (1933-2003) who gave these lectures as a credit course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago during the fall and early winter of 1970-71. Extended essays on George Méliès, David Wark Griffith, Carl Theodore Dreyer, and Sergei Eisenstein. The original program included screenings of forty-three films by Méliés, Griffith, Dreyer, Eisenstein, Cocteau and Edwin Porter.
