Video Art: Laura Focarazzo

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:04:00 +0000

Signs of ordinary life, small particles trapped, the motion captured...
...or silently observed.

Volatile elements, barely discernible, throbbing sensuality, pulsating love...

Short moments, stills of time, grabbed. Droplets of light hitting the eyes, animated matter, carefully stored.

A huge pleasure to write again about Laura Focarazzo, Argentinian visual artist, delightful friend of Spiritual Archives.

A new post about her, a profile containing detailed info about her artistic career and an almost complete videography.

Warm thanks to Laura for her contribution to make this page as informative as possible.

______________________________________

Profile:

Laura Focarazzo is a visual artist who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She works with experimental musicians of both local and international scene.
She's also member of the audio visual group "Exquisite, What?" (more info here).

Her works have appeared in exhibitions and international film festivals:
- 13º BAFICI - International Independent Film Festival of Buenos Aires
- Festival Fuga Lab in Buenos Aires
- Abstracta Cinema - Festival of Rome
- AIVA - International Video Art Festival in Sweden
- FLAVIA - 1st Latin America Festival of Video Art
- Lab Galleri in Sweden
- Incubarte - International Independent Art Festival in Spain.

She was selected to take part in the Gesamt project, concept by Lars Von Trier for the collective film "Disaster 521, what happened to man?". Gesamt had its first premiere at the Göteborg International Film Festival 2013.

She participated in "String Theory", collaborative experimental film derived from a sound screenplay, whose opening night took place in Buenos Aires, in March 2013.

Here is what she says about her work: "I would like to get the audience involved in a similar way to a poem, got carried away in some kind of inner experience, stirred up somehow".

Currently she's working on a silent movie project.

2012 Favorites by Spiritual Archives' Friends

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 19:56:00 +0000

This post is for the purpose of suggesting works worthy of being numbered among the best ones released in 2012, according to the opinion of artists who have a special connection with this blog.

Once more, in the past year, they distinguished themselves in their fields of activity: composers, musicians, improvisers, phonographers, owners of labels, art performers, highly inspired, extremely motivated to draw, create, build, spread beautiful music.
Once again, in the past year, they gave a substantial contribution of ideas, innovation, research, to the experimental music scene.

Spiritual Archives expresses sincere gratitude to these friends who have kindly sent their faves list...

...one more time.

2012 Favorites

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:32:00 +0000

2012: another good year for the music we love.
Time to give an account.
Time to publish another "Best of the Year" list.
50 favorites, a sonic map concerning the recent past.
An incomplete map, of course: lots of releases waiting to be listened to, missed, unforgivably forgotten.
New labels launched, some other ones shut down recently, pleasant discoveries of artists and works, expectations met.
An increasing diffusion of titles in digital format is expanding the possibilities of getting them quickly but, at the same time, the number of them daily available is growing considerably.
Spiritual Archives wishes a Happy New Year to all followers and readers.
Enjoy the list (in alphabetical order).

Released in May 2012 via Peira on a very limited run of one hundred CDs, the latest offering from Chicago based experimental Jazz outfit Ed Bear and Lea Bertucci, who also work under the name Twistycat, is called “Controlled Burn”. It is a master class in improvisational techniques and free form sounds.

About the duo

The duo base their act round the coupling of electro-acoustic woodwind instruments of bass clarinet and baritone saxophone and use a blend of feedback techniques to produce a sound that is both intensely passionate and yearning, yet remaining strangely discordant.

They seek to try and stop the distance between audience and performer and break down the barriers that have been firmly put up in the past, which haven’t always allowed a strong connection between the two within this particular form of music.

On this latest album, they further their ideas of creating a harmony between sight and sound, with a collection of instrumentals that provoke thought and feeling, conjuring up many emotions and inspiring the listener to let their imagination flow as they hear what Bear and Bertucci call “post-industrial dissonance”.

The album

The tracks on the album create an innate sense of space and time, yet hold an immense energy within them that charges thoughts and feelings. The second track, “Scelsi Girls” is a prime example of this. It’s an experiment in long, droning notes with peaks and troughs.
The saxophone and clarinet feel like they are playing a game of cat and mouse in a way, chasing each other and trying to compete for supremacy over the almost four minute in length piece. The end of the track, though quite abrupt, brings a lulling sense of stillness and calm as if the battle between the two instruments has been fought and won.

At just over nine minutes, “Tooth” is the longest track on the album. It has a jarring quality to it, a sense of unease. Its wisps, crackles and disjointed feeling promote a feeling of anxiety within the listener, almost a sort of “who might be behind the door” horror movie aura that is very compelling.

The shortest track on the album is the sublime “Fanfare”, which in many ways is the most coherently structured piece of the entire work. Listening to it brings a memory of Michael Nyman and his use of woodwind instrumentation in his film score for “The Draughtsman’s Contract”. It has a beautifully rolling structure to it, a repetitive melody which makes it easy to recognise and remember. In some ways, it felt as if it was almost too short and that it could have carried on and developed for a much longer time frame without becoming too much.

“Rare Earths” is a quiet, slow burner, once it swings into action it pulls the listener in with an intense, swirling maelstrom of noise. At first, it feels like it might ever start. It jolts the listener into awareness at around fifty seconds with a high pitched note to make its presence felt. It has a beautiful juxtaposition of elongated, high notes that jostle with an undercurrent of crackling and fizzing. At one point, the two are engaged in a battle that feels like cold air and warm air before a thunderstorm might do. It’s sometimes an uncomfortable listen.
There is a gentle lull at around six minutes thirty in which it becomes, quieter, less piercing, more fluid in it’s movement. Then it charges up again for a final flourish that ends on a droning note that lasts for around forty seconds, before quietly fading.

Where can the album be purchased?

The tracks from the album can be downloaded from the duo’s Bandcamp page here, as well as purchased from Peira Records website. For an intense experience that combines dissonance with jazz and electro-acoustic instrumentation, then Bear, Bertucci Duo should be listened to, bought and loved. For more information, news, back catalogue details and a list of previous and forthcoming events that the duo are participating in, then their website can be visited by following this link here. Lea Bertucci also has her own website with videos, news and contact information which can be accessed here.
It’s well worth a look for anyone that really likes what they’ve heard via Twistycat or would like to further explore a new experience in jazz.

Ernesto Diaz-Infante - Emilio / Civilian Life

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 15:49:00 +0000

About two years ago, this blog dealt for the first time with Ernesto Diaz-Infante, by reviewing "Our Faceless Empire", collaborative release, later included among the best of 2010.
After that, Ernesto (read this previous post) released two works, "Emilio" and "Civilian Life", respectively published in late 2011 and early 2012, the first on Kendra Steiner Editions, the second on his own label, Pax Recordings.

"Emilio" (the title comes from the name of Ernesto's uncle) consists of 32 untitled free-form sketches, each with a small duration, ranging from a few seconds to two minutes, for a total length of around half an hour.
A set of freehand drawings, each endowed with distinctive features: Diaz-Infante succeeds in giving uniqueness to the tracks, avoiding the risk of redundancy, likely consequence of playing only one instrument, in this case the bajo sexto. That's a valuable addition, that's so for "Emilio".
The mosaic structure of the work does not preclude the possibility to notice a linear sequence of performance. On the contrary, the miniatures can be easily inserted into a logical framework of composition.

What comes out are sounds in multifarious forms: sometimes the strings are gently touched by fingers or slightly scratched with objects, at times they seem to speak in a pleasant tone. Sometimes the contact is even more detectable: the instrument is used in a percussive way.
The results vary from peaceful, hypnotic passages to droning textures, whereas, in other circumstances, the sounds become harsh, hollow, even noisy.

An interesting exercise of improvisation, highly spontaneous, that also highlights Ernesto's skill and mastery of the medium.

______________________________________

Just a few months after "Emilio", Diaz-Infante released "Civilian Life".
Tangible differences with the previous disc here, from both conceptual and methodological perspectives.
Ernesto describes this work as a collection of mantra guitar recordings, embracing a period of nine years (from 2003 to 2011).
Thirteen pieces created by using a large number of instruments: acoustic and amplified bajo sexto, various types of acoustic guitars, singing bowl, electronic tanpura. Environmental recordings are marginally present (in the first track and in "A Gentle Reminder").

The album's common thread appears to be the concept of repetition applied to the sound, and here you can find some good examples of that: a measured pace in "Sun Hypnotic!", pure fluidity in "Easy To Disappear Into This Fog", a waving movement in "The Morning Sun Pours Through The Window", an echoing resonance in " Memories, Like Clouds . . .", the sonic balance of "JT".

In some segments the main theme is interpreted and put into practice literally ("Palais Idéal", "Shellacking The Sidewalk") or expressed in a more articulate manner, rather digressive: that's the case of "Yerba Buena", long piece, full of energy and motion.
A rhythmic acceleration as leading factor in "La Casa Encendida", that offers a lilting tune taking up the entirety of the track, bringing to mind an ancient ballad.
"The Pedestrian Tunnel At The Conservatory Of Flowers" is rich in simplicity: an acoustic guitar treads the path, very little notes, recurring, a melancholic ambiance that comes to life.
"Small Halo", only 27 seconds, closes this excellent album, further proof, if any were necessary, of great artistic inspiration conveyed in music.
Quality that Ernesto Diaz-Infante possesses.

Labels: Obs

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:08:00 +0000

Obs (short form of "Observatoire") is a Russian label (Rostov-based) born from the ashes of "Observatory Records" and maintaining substantial continuity with this one.
In fact, Observatory was discontinued in 2007, thirteen releases to its credit, and the number 14 marked the start of a new chapter entitled "Observatoire".

A third, further phase took shape in late 2011, under the current name, "Obs".

The label, active since 2005 and steadily run by Denis Shapovalov, artist (Adriva, Enmerkar, Matter and Sunchariot are projects he was involved in) as well as graphic designer (see below some artworks created by him), after a year of silence (2010), has made a significant comeback and consequently expanded considerably its catalogue.

Twelve valuable records released thus far since the last restart, the participation of names often mentioned in these pages (Ben Owen, Richard Garet) and other outstanding figures of the experimental scene (Andrea Marutti, Chris Whitehead, Five Elements Music, Francisco Meirino, Gregory Büttner, Jim Haynes, Roel Meelkop etc.): here are some factors that have led to a growing recognition for Denis' efforts.

Although these artists operate in different contexts and their conceptual approaches are anything but standardized, the label’s actual activity seems to show, as a recurring element, a predilection for works conceived through methods/means of experimentation privileging an intense use of concrete materials as sources, mostly submitted to post-processing techniques or somehow manipulated.
In addition, a firm choice to highlight new forms of electroacoustic improvisation.

Check out below the complete catalogue, consisting of three sets. The first section (Observatory Records) includes numbers from 001 to 013, whereas the titles from 014 to 025 are related to the second period (Observatoire) and finally the recent releases (starting with the number 026) are placed into Obs.

You will also find some hi-res scans, have a look at them.

Spiritual Archives is grateful to Denis Shapovalov for his precious collaboration.

Sound Art: France Jobin / i8u

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:37:00 +0000

Canadian artist, celebrated sound sculptor, works released (under the moniker "i8u") on leading labels of the genre such as and/OAR, ATAK, Contour Editions, Dragon's Eye Recordings, Non Visual Objects, Room40 and many others.
And as if that weren't enough, France Jobin also excels in the audio-visual field: performances and video installations at noteworthy festivals (Mutek, Victoriaville, Send + Receive, Club Transmediale, Immersound etc.) and important art venues (Hammer Museum of Los Angeles, San Francisco Art Institute Lecture Hall, Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec etc.).

Her recent audio release, "Surface Tension" on Murmur Records, must necessarily be included among the best albums of the past year.
The latest one, published first under her real name and out in February on L-ne, is titled "Valence": sounds with references to the world of chemistry and perceptible departure from those compositional schemes that we got used to.
A gleaming gem, substance radiating sweetness and light, three long pieces that maintain an inimitable identity, purity, ravishing musicality.

Rigorous aesthetic sensibility, superb skills in sound processing, minimalist imprint as common denominator of most of her work, marked by an amazing simplicity/complexity, rich in subtle, barely audible elements: all that offers an immersive listening experience, all that makes France Jobin a unique figure in this area of exploration.

Also, some weeks ago, France expressed her opinion about the best works listened to in 2011.
Here it is:

Steve Roden - Proximities (Line)
Tomas Phillips - Prosa (Tench)
Robert Crouch - An Occupied Space (DER)
Richard Chartier - Trasparency (Performance) (Line)

Sound Art: Barbara De Dominicis

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:42:00 +0000

photo by Davide Lonardi

Spiritual Archives welcomes Barbara De Dominicis, getting intrigued by her sound world, her distinctive techniques of experimentation/improvisation, her finely-nuanced voice compounded with electronics and environmental recordings.
Italian, highly creative, resourceful artist, involved in the project "Parallel 41", a stable interaction with Canadian cellist Julia Kent (read info below), expressed through performances, a CD and a movie (both forthcoming on Baskaru).
She is also founder and curator of "Exquisite What", platform that gathers audio and visual artists from all over the world.
A big thanks to Barbara for making this page possible.

______________________________________

Biography:

Barbara De Dominicis, besides using her voice, likes to record natural or urban sounds and merge them in her music.
Her projects include Cabaret Noir [with Pasquale Bardaro], The Body_exposed: Poe-Si [with Mirko Signorile and Marco Messina], Kuul-Ma, an audio-visual project in collaboration with media artist Davide Lonardi.
In 2008 she wrote and produced the songs of her album Anti-Gone, based on a narrative theme of Greek mythology.
In the same year she met the canadian cello player Julia Kent. Together they brought into existence Parallel41, a musical/visual/improvisatory project released internationally on french record label Baskaru [February 2012]
A growing interest in Sound Portraiture led her to work on A tale of two cities, an audio collage documenting Naples and New York, that became a radiowork produced for Radio Papesse vs Radia Network: Crossings.
Among her soundworks: ReDiSound, a radio work produced for Radio Papesse - an homage to Marcel Duchamp [Call for revolutionary Sounds]; Whismical Cartography [produced for the multimedia exhibition "E-Art-Quake", commemorating the earthquake in Irpinia].
At the end of 2010, with a dozen of other sound and visual/photo artists, she gave life to Exquisite What [founder/curator], a collective web/project based on the Exquisite Corpse practice.
In 2011 she started to collect materials to set up "La Rêverie" [founder/curator] with the intention to build a sort of web-platform where it is possible to circumnavigate strangers' dreams, trying to investigate the impalpable "fil rouge" that ties diverse dreams apparently distant by nature, geography, culture.
Most recently she has been invited by GIRRL [girrlsound :digitalgirrl] (an Australia based organization in support of the development and promotion of new works by women dealing with sonic and digital arts) to curate and produce a series of radio podcasts (The Cat Cinderella) aimed to promote works by women artists who investigate sound as a distinctive element in their research.
At the moment she is working on a new solo album under the moniker Apres Soon: an assemblage of drones and field recordings, electronics, voices and string instruments.

Barbara De Dominicis ama raccogliere suoni, manipolarli ed inventare trame sonore.
Tra i suoi progetti, Poe-Si [con Marco Messina/99 Posse e Mirko Signorile], Cabaret Noir [con Pasquale Bardaro], Kuul_MA, sperimentazione audiovisiva in cui un'elettronica di tipo organico interagisce con i paesaggi mutevoli del visual artist Davide Lonardi.
Nel 2008 pubblica come solista Anti-Gone, un concept album che ha come filo conduttore narrativo la mitologia greca.
A partire dal 2008 inizia una collaborazione con la violoncellista canadese Julia Kent. Le loro performance (inizialmente sotto il nome di Intermittenze) presto diventeranno un progetto stabile ed in progress dal nome Parallel41. L'etichetta francese Baskaru pubblicherà il loro cd/dvd a febbraio 2012.
Tra i suoi lavori sonori, Whimsical Cartography (selezionato tra le opere che saranno esposte nella mostra multimediale collettiva E-ArtQuake, in commemorazione del terremoto dell' Irpinia) e Re_di_Sound [Radio Papesse] un omaggio a Marcel Duchamp [Call for Revolutionary Sounds].
Il suo crescente interesse per il paesaggio sonoro la porta a concepire A tale of two cities, una serie di audio collage volti a ritrarre analogie e differenze di due città che giacciono sullo stesso parallelo: Napoli e New York. Questo lavoro è diventato un radiodocumentario prodotto da Radio Papesse vs Radia network, dal titolo Crossings.
Tra i suoi progetti in corso, Exquisite What [di cui è curatrice/ideatrice] un collettivo ispirato alla pratica surrealista degli Exquisite Cadaver, dedito alla creazione di una piattaforma web audio/visiva; La Rêverie/La Sogneria (curatrice/ideatrice), uno spazio multimediale legato al sogno in cui, come all'interno di un mappamondo indicizzato per luoghi, tematiche ed epoche, si potrà scegliere di "entrare" [in mp3] nel racconto di un sogno o di viaggiare tra più sogni (in progress).
Di recente è stata invitata da GIRRLSOUND [un'organizzazione australiana a sostegno delle donne che lavorano in ambito di sonic e digital art] a curare e produrre una serie di podcast radiofonici (The Cat Cinderella) con l’intento di promuovere la diffusione di lavori di artiste a cavallo tra net.art, sound art e audio documentario.
Con il moniker Apres Soon è al lavoro su un nuovo album solista: un assemblaggio di drones e field recordings, di elettronica, voci e strumenti a corde.

Ravedeath, 1972 - Tim Hecker

This has been on my ipod since it was released, I've probably listened to it more than any other record this year.

A Static Place - Stephan Mathieu

Pure gorgeousness. I often fall asleep to this album.

Seefeel - Seefeel

I think this album is even better than anything they did in the 90s, mainly because of all the delicious fuzzy bass sounds. This album made me get back into fuzz pedals, which led me to spend most of 2011 learning how to build them myself.

An Occupied Space - Robert Crouch

The concept behind this album is great. I've always thought music sounded best outside the club, across the street, in a different building all together.

Presence - Yann Novak

Yann always manages to craft such delicate sounds, like watching an mri scan cut through a mass of sound, layer by layer, edge on.

As High As The Highest Heavens And From The Center To The Circumference Of The Earth - True Widow

The guitars on this album sound like thick syrup poured across an empty river bed, coagulating in the sun. Texas shoegaze at it's best.

Periodic Orbits of a Dynamic System Related to a Knot - Mark Fell

It was hard to decide which Mark Fell record I liked the best this year, but this one wins.

Ryan Connor

______________________________________

More and more often, the word "drone" is being used in CD liner notes, descriptions, reviews of works. Almost always associated with the term "ambient". This is because "ambient/drone" is an area heavily frequented, and, consequently, we have a flood of releases, very similar each other, or even duplicates.
Fortunately, there are good exceptions: the music of Ryan Connor, aka Sublamp, Los Angeles-based artist, is one of those.
In January 2011 he released "In Our Hiding Voice", published by hibernate (also a bonus 3" CD-R with the first copies).
It's a strange, unclassifiable, magnificent album: a bit ambient, a little noisy, partly drone, sweet and harsh at the same time, a hypnotic vortex of sounds that reaches its highest point in "Hiding Song".
One of the best albums of the past year, nothing further to add.

______________________________________

It's no surprise that we take great interest in sound artists working with field recordings.
Particularly if the artist in question is Hiroki Sasajima.
Hiroki has been able, over the years, to stand out in the experimental scene, drawing the attention of a large number of listeners.
This might be due to effective methods of managing the collected sounds, the ability to assemble his sources, to integrate them into wider contexts, anyway it's a fact that the result is always remarkable.
A long list of works released in 2011: "Bells" on Ahora Eterno, "Hidden Bird's Nest" (with Takahisa Hirao) on 3LEAVES, "Injya" (with James McDougall) on Unfathomless, "Time & Language" (with Pleq and Spheruleus) on Felt and "Aspects", double DVD-R (in collaboration with Yuki Izumi) on Somehow Recordings.
Furthermore, some collaborative tracks included in compilations.

Pablo Reche, artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a very well-known name in the avant-garde scene. His research goal is to explore different forms of noise, achievable by the use of various sources (field recordings, objects, electronics, amongst others) skillfully manipulated and reworked, with stunning results in terms of sound.
Two releases in 2011, both published by SiRiDisc in December: "Estructura Ultravioleta" and "Drenaje Subterráneo" (in collaboration with Juan José Calarco). Pablo also contributed to a compilation issued in the same year (see below). His latest work "Embalse ( I )", out this month, can be downloaded at Impulsive Habitat website.

Yui Onodera is a Japanese (Tokyo-based) acclaimed composer and sound artist. His music, built on sublime soundscapes and delicate textures, partly created from processed field recordings, features a unique, distinctive style. The result is simply delightful to listen to.
At the end of 2011 he released "Night Blossom", renewed collaboration with The Beautiful Schizophonic. Dilated sounds, gentle piano touches, enchanting atmospheres, an awesome work, once more, able to convey a sense of tranquility, restarting from where "Radiance" stopped. More info here.

Two releases in 2011 (and some tracks included in albums and compilations): "Two Segments" (in collaboration with Mise_En_Scene) on WHITE_LINE EDITIONS and "Presence" (in our favorites list) on hibernate.
To complete this summary, it needs to mention an installation ("3 Surfaces"), a performance with Robert Crouch ("Fata Morgana") and a print edition issued by Line ("Relocation.Triptych"). See here for full details.

______________________________________

No need to explain who Dale Lloyd is: this blog is full of references to his works as well as those released on his own labels.
Concerning the second aspect, three albums published both by and/OAR and either/OAR in 2011.
Our favorites list mentions two of them: Lugi Turra's Ki and Kraig Grady's Our Rainy Season / Nuilagi, but, quite honestly, others could have been included in it, considering the value of each new release on these catalogues.

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:35:00 +0000

Another year is drawing to a close. It's time for a summary, a selection of works which have left a mark (and therefore also artists and labels) mentioned on these pages in 2011.
Over 70 titles chosen from thousands of discs, embracing a huge range of genres, a good exercise to remember the year that is leaving.
More and more releases available (both physical and digital versions), usual confirmations, new names on the scene, some pleasant surprises, expectations let down, but never enough time to catch up on what's going on.
Anyway, here we are. Perhaps you might have missed some of these...

Luigi Turra - Ki

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:11:00 +0000

Luigi Turra's second appearance in the and/OAR catalogue (not long ago a piece included in a magnificent compilation, tribute to Michelangelo Antonioni).

Active for years in the experimental music movement, highly esteemed by people devoted to musique concrète, Turra is an Italian sound artist and graphic designer who stood out for his personal, refined, minimalist style, conveyed in works for labels such as Trente Oiseaux, Non Visual Objects, Dragon's Eye Recordings, Koyuki, Unfathomless, just to mention some.

"Ki", a trilogy, over two hours of audio contents, a three-disc set, finely packaged, two-thirds consisting of old material, reissued to correct mastering errors occurred in the original release on Small Voices, dated 2007 (the first disc, "Enso") or now in full-length version (the second one, "Ancient Silence", self-released the same year). "Shasekishu" represents a new chapter and brings the project to completion.

"Enso" is splitted in three parts, the initial segment features a weave of sounds produced by traditional instruments (shakuhachi, pipa, percussion), sometimes untreated, sometimes reprocessed or arranged with other artificial intrusions. Heavy incidence of echoes on the whole, to give sonic expansion and intense deepness, concretely perceptible.
The use of environmental recordings, wisely managed, becomes evident further on: it's a subtle, inconspicuous presence (string touches, repeated tinklings and woodwind effects have the lead role). Only in the second part they achieve consistency, sharing the scene with both instrumental and vocal performance. Slightly different, even softer approach in the last section, without giving up the main framework.

"Ancient Silence", the second CD, reveals, explicitly, a definite compositional tendency. It's structured on several distinct instances (carefully joined together), primarily based on sombre tones originated from field recordings, with the add of other sound particles extracted from instruments (a delightful metallic reverberation, bamboo flute whispers) or captured somewhere (a periodic knocking, odd, confused noises, a constant drip of water).

"Shasekishu", the last episode, seems to be a further processing stage in the saga. Articulated on different levels, it starts with an amalgam of concrete sounds embedded in a minimalist module and large recourse to electronics, then a gradual transition into more melodic, almost meditative phases made of resounding bells, flute insertions, a few percussive touches, a solemn chant. Lastly a compound of all these elements.

Haunting, enchanting work: Turra at his best, so far...

Richard Garet + Asher Thal-Nir - Melting Ground

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:40:00 +0000

Flying over the Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska... ...videotaping mazes of crevasses, peaks blurred by clouds, sinuous lines drawn by snow... ...running upon hidden details, unusual forms, mapping concrete entities...
Coupling this with subtle piano touches, added to the scenario, softly cadenced, echoing tunes that come one after the other, without stopping...

"Melting Ground", audiovisual product, result of a collaboration between Richard Garet and Asher Thal-Nir, can be summed up with these words.
The video content (by Garet) consists of a hand-held shot, 43 minutes long, that goes back to 2005.
Uninterrupted sequence heavily re-edited by Richard, "stained" through superimposition of a flickering effect covering the whole running time. In addition, the decision to opt for a B&W format which, associated with shadowy timbres of sound, gives a retro feeling to the footage.

Asher took care of the audio section, by offering a single piece that runs parallel to the video and fits splendidly in the flowing images.
A piano and nothing else. Gestures captured by microphones placed inside its body (Asher already resorted to this compositional paradigm, successfully, in a recent past), the pressing of keys distinctly audible, series of notes which periodically repeat themselves, a pulsating melody intentionally mingled with a persistent noise generated by the helicopter blades.

The filmed scenes show various areas of the location with variable depth of field: as soon as the camera operates at close range, amorphous elements manifest themselves, irregular strokes stand out, granular textures become more pronounced.
Spontaneous variations in light intensity, needed to make the rest...
The music goes with the frames, slowly proceeding, emphasizing and coloring them.

Fruitful synergy, indeed, and really special work that enriches the catalogue, falling perfectly within the conceptual ambit of the label.

Alfredo Costa Monteiro + Ben Owen - Frêle À Vide

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 06:34:00 +0000

Richard Garet's Contour Editions label caught the attention of this blog since its birth, due to (predictable) intents and purposes of its creator.
Two years after, the project is taking a definite form and running (with regularity) parallel to Richard's audiovisual activities.

In February 2011, two physical releases were added to the catalogue: a CD-R, result of a collaborative effort between Alfredo Costa Monteiro and Ben Owen (two names also often mentioned in Spiritual Archives' posts) and a DVD-R, product of audio/video interaction whose actors are Asher Thal-Nir and Garet himself (a review will follow soon).

"Frêle À Vide", the CD-R, can be considered a convergence point, and, at the same time, synthesis of Costa Monteiro and Owen's philosophies of sound. Perhaps conceptual implications are less present here, to advantage of a strong emotional impact.
The disc consists of four "pièces sans titre", composed by using walkman feedbacks and shortwave radio (Costa Monteiro), microphone, mixer, op amp, tone arm and sw/mw radio (Owen).

Noisy start to dissipate any doubt about the nature of these recordings: the first nine minutes filled with screeching tones, powerfully amplified, the second half that shows lower crushing force, complying to Costa Monteiro's standards, mesmerizing, as usual, hissing waves take control of the acoustic space, providing a steady stream, repeatedly broken up by abrasive intrusions.

Just a few seconds of silence before falling in the second track: change of operational modes, incisive selection of processed inputs given off gradually, able to shift to a different phase of listening.
The chosen frequencies reverberate, insistently, progressively increasing in intensity and depth. The magnetic flux is now affected by amplitude modulations.

Even more complexity in the third piece: tension reduced (at first) by a prolonged crackling effect, then radio emissions and other electrical interferences, transmitted in sequence, to generate an uncontrolled reaction culminating in sound distortions that resonate loudly.
All dies down in the final minutes of the disc, marked by the presence of a persistent hiss combined with electrostatic impulses and expanded signals. High return in terms of sonic feedback.

For those who already know these two talented artists this work will represent a confirmation of their skills; for the others, a good starting point to get introduced to their music.

Sawako - Brand New Fossil

noreply@blogger.com (iz23) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:47:00 +0000

Sawako's eclecticism is a given by now. Esteemed visual artist, she periodically revives her passion for pop music, and, very frequently, shows a keen interest in experiments linked to environmental recordings. This last aspect is what "Brand New Fossil" mainly discloses: a quick demonstration of Sawako's capabilities, of course, compressed in about nine minutes of total length. A 7 inches gracefully packaged and printed in two colors (tonalities of blue, also chosen for the vinyl, delicately stand out against a white background).
Two tracks per side to concretise the main theme of the work: fossils, both product of signals coming out from a handmade crystal radio and resulting from sound capturing activities. Fossils having a specific origin, and, despite the shortness of this disc, provided with as much realistic as evocative strength.
"Radio Stone", the opening piece (a blurred snapshot, a glimpsed scene, undefined) advances with a waving pace. Diffused patterns intersect at distinct points and shape a melodic entity.
The subsequent "Dot" is quite a fragment, ephemeral, condensed on some looped passages that, though alternated with phases of prolonged inertia, transmit a subtle sensation of syncopated rhythm.
The climate sensibly changes on the flip side: both pieces are generated by recordings made around Astroland, amusement park in Coney Island, NY. Different location, altered feedbacks here: “Season Off” consists of a sequence of urban movements, metal grindings from a door lock, traffic echoes and other reported moments of everyday life: all is just sketched, with an intense sense of deepness and participation emerging from the context.
“Astro Land”, the second part of the tale, primarily contains a set of voices interwoven with deaf sounds. The whole is expressed in a muffled way, but perceptible is a relevant amount of timbric variations (the method adopted to assemble them is really effective) which speak a mantric language.
Small but exemplary practice in the use of field recordings, significant proof of how to deal with them: not a mere presentation of what was picked up by microphones, rather focusing on revision and treatment of the collected material, filtered through a personal perspective.
Sawako as a phonographer does well in this, plainly and naturally.
