  Authenticity in a Digital Environment
However, he or she should be able to assert that on the day when the records left the custody of the originating agency or organization, a particular document was included as part of the records.
Records that are generated in an agency, transferred by law or policy to an archival agency through an unbroken change of custody, and maintained complete and inviolate by that archival agency are presumed to be authentic.
This project concluded that "the routine transfer of records to a neutral third party, that is, to a competent archival body, invested with the exclusive authority and capacity for the indefinite preservation of inactive records, is an essential requirement for ensuring their authenticity over time" (Duranti and MacNeil 1996).

Constellation's cardboard resistance is indexical of an interpretive practice of the fluid meanings of discourses on technology, a creative practice through which individual and collective identities are constructed, namely identities grounded in resistance and independence from mainstream institutional discourses.
Constellation's subjectivity, in other words, is not entirely determined by the institutional discourses surrounding it, and it works well to understand it as "a particular set of sited language games whose rules discursively construct the semblance of a more or less unified subjectivity centered in experience" [13].
Indeed, even though like all Constellation bands GYBE are known to stand for the raw and genuine immediacy of live performance over studio wizardry, both their studio-recorded tracks and live performances could not reach the same level of subversive purity without the bricolage of distant sounds, live play, and tape loops.

 Constellation Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constellation Records is an influential Montreal, Quebec independent record label known for its contributions to post-rock and its strong anti-capitalist stance.
The packaging of Constellation's music also reflects this ethos; they eschew the ubiquitous jewel cases and ship their albums in unique hand-designed cardboard packages, which are made, as far as is possible, by local artists and artisans.
The music on the label is usually categorized as post-rock (a label which Constellation abhors, regarding it as an invention of "hipper-than-now taste-makers").

 Doomsday machine - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
It was encountered in 2267 by the Federation starships USS Enterprise and USS Constellation.
The Constellation sustained heavy damage — the main bridge was destroyed, the phaser banks were exhausted, and the warp drive was damaged.
However, the Enterprise was overwhelmed as quickly as the Constellation had been, and soon trapped by a tractor beam which was pulling the ship towards the doomsday machine's maw.

Constellation was founded in Montreal in 1996 to provide avenues and resources for the city’s marginal and overlooked punk/experimental music community.
Constellation continues to fervently believe that any ‘business’ initiative should be governed by sustainable economics and the prioritisation of a local community infrastructure.
Constellation operates without contracts; agreements between the label and bands are based on regular contact and conversation, with the bands retaining full rights and ownership of their recordings and a split of any surplus generated by record sales.

Knowledge of the sun, moon, and stars, and their associated mythology, was passed from generation to generation but few conclusive records of prehistoric observations survive.
Constellations were part of the historical record in Mesopotamian culture around 4000 BC.
The 88 official constellations chosen by the IAU were all European inventions, not out of cultural imperialism but because those constellations were already well known and used by many professional astronomers.

Constellation is situated in Montréal and appears to be a politically-charged record label that shines in the spirit of George Grant.
Being located in Montréal, Constellation is located in a province struggling for distinction within a country that is clinging onto its own nationalism in the ominous face of American culture.
Constellation shows this by saying that “Montréal is a strange, sad, crumbling city.

 Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet (Constellation)
Constellation records have become the home to so many good musical projects that sometimes it's staggering.
Apparently their last 2 LP's were recorded in a barn, but for this outing the band moved into a custom home studio, and it seems the comfort of being at home paid off.
In the tradition of those bands, this LP has layers upon layers that fade away and are replaced by others, while drums and bass give it a solid steady grounding, hardly shifting at all, content to keep the music very much on earth.

He was deep in shock, but was able to tell them that his ship had been investigating the dissapearence of several planets in the L374 system when it had come across an alien device which was destroying the fourth planet in the system.
Analysis of the Constellation's records showed that the alien device was a robotic weapon designed to break apart planets and ingest their material for use as fuel in a total conversion drive.

Constellation Records has put together a compilation of remixes and unreleased tracks from all members of its deep roster.
I read somewhere that the folks at Constellation detest the term, but the bands are usually dubbed "post-rock" by the cognoscenti.
Constellation is a label on a mission, but for all the noise and the anti-capitalist propaganda (check our the label's manifesto), first and foremost is the music.

 SOUTHERN | constellation records
Carla came to Montreal to record the album at the Hotel2Tango in coldest wintertime, with multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily at her side, and a pocketful of beautiful noises and loops prepared back home in L. (along with some mandolin and viola by Ezra Buchla).
From the opening electronic squall of "Ferrari en feu" (the album is dedicated to Luc Ferrari) through the controlled psycho-babbling chaos of "Mademoiselle gentleman" to the unsettling, murmuring calm of "Tu n'avais qu'une oreille" (with De Oliveira on lascivious lead vocal), side 1 demonstrates the range of the band's influences and syntheses.
Album closer "Ce n'est pas les jardins du Luxembourg" is a longer instrumental composition built around organ drones and processed field recordings, with rhythmic pulses and melodic accents ebbing and flowing, caught somewhere between Dark Side Of The Moon, Sun Ra, kabuki music and the zoo.

 Splendid: Features: Do Make Say Think
The group's subsequent recordings -- Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord is Dead and this year's & Yet & Yet -- have earned critical acclaim and broadened their audience enough to draw them out of the Great White North and into Stateside venues.
I had a lot of questions for the band, as much of what they do is decidedly different from what we've come to expect from the music industry -- from their instrumentation to their work ethic to their label politics.
One of the things I like the most about Constellation is how they have this welcome "small and slow is better than big and fast" kind of attitude, to the point where your photographs aren't even included in your packaging; the focus is less on the band than it is on the music.

But over a period of the past couple of months it has steadily grown on me to the point where it is now one of my favorite cds of 00.
These are cleaver (in a way), sombre pop (if you could even call it that, though I've also heard the lounge label applied which is just as valid) songs delivered in the most honest, real voice I've ever heard.
Backed by somewhat sparse, loose, sometimes angular instrumentation this release could probably be best described as a lonely, pensive bus ride through the city on a late, rainy monday night.

Since the mid 1990s Montreal's Constellation Records has released a steady stream of edgy, fiercely independent and totally eclectic records.
The packaging of their records, which has included everything from passages in Hebrew to the new LPs image of bombs dropping from an airplanes point of view, has added to the music's overall apocalyptic tone.
Visibly absent from the new LP are any tape recordings or ambient tracks at all, which points to a band looking to turn over a new leaf, or maybe just questioning its own hermetic track record.

 DOA - The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-la-la Band - Horses in the Sky
Constellation is a hot commodity in indie-music circles.
Yes, there are the usual moans and groans found on so many of the label’s recordings, but when Menuck keeps quiet and lets the instruments pour as the only sounds, there are solemn, beautiful, contemplative moments.
Beyond the loud cacophony of some of these musicians’ recordings with GY!BE and The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-la Band, it’s their hypocritical disdain for economic and political systems that benefit them and their perpetual indictments and offers of therapy that I find ludicrous.

Constellation records have really been showing their colours lately.
Although they happily remain the cornerstone of the post-rock world, Frankie Sparo's amazing personal songwriter record, followed by the new Polmo Polmo record, which is minimal and approaches sound in an altogether more experimental way, there's more to Constellation than nihilistic gloom (even though we cherish the gloom so!).
These songs could have been recorded by a Rock Action-era Mogwai, on equipment that is more basic than their PIAS budget would allow.

Producer/songwriter Bobby Miller helmed several hits by the Dells (the There Is album, "O-O, I Love You," "I Can't Do Enough," "Always Together") during their stint as recording artists for Chicago, IL-based Chess Records.
Besides hits for the Harvey, IL-based R&B/soul vocal group, Miller also wrote "Bet You Never Thought," a Constellation Records single for Gene Chandler, and recorded a single for the label, "Uncle Willie Time," that was based on a mid-'60s dance craze.
In summer 1967, the Dells were on the low end of the hierarchy of the Chess Records roster, having returned to the label in 1966 after having hits with another Chicago-based label, VeeJay Records.
