DESCRIPTION
A 56 minute commissioned environmental sound work as "guest editor"
of Patrick McGinley's radio show. Patrick is the phonographer behind the
project .murmer, which we did
some live interaction with at the 2003 or_/tacet
London visit. He also came to hang out with me in Hamburg when i did the
Musikhalle show opening for Neubauten
Taking on 4 different scenarios, mixing them into 4 layers after 4 strategies;
1] phasing, 2] editing, 3] looping and X] equalising. Coherent with
my recent return to the visual arts this piece is more graphic than
musical, creating a long journey through a landscape of 1] bird conversation,
2] child entusiasmo, 3] trivial droning and X] sudden interruptions.
An early work(sub)title was "The Birds Sing Nono" due to my
interest in the tease-denial moulding in the compositions of Luigi Nono,
a friend mentioned Kenneth Kirschner´s approach, whcih i have
to check out more in-depth. Yet after a short while the humour appeared,
linking this piece to the miniatures of Runzelstirn & Gürgelstock,
Crank Sturgeon and the likes.
This is (once again) a debut work, also my debut podcast, and my last
work on the 1996 SoundEdit software, so it feels proper that it was
a request from an amigo that spurred the whole thing.
