Crónicast 063, “Bits, Pieces And So Far Beyond” by Audio_z

Crónicast 063, “Bits, Pieces And So Far Beyond” by Audio_z
35'29", 68.1MB

“Bits, Pieces And So Far Beyond” in a contradictory way is said to be one of those unspoken stories at their purest. Could, let's say — a lost photographic sentiment for a memory of the space; fading tones of a chime and human voices; alienated intersections of whistle, transparent high-frequency sprays and streams of white noises; almost cubist envolvent of domestic affair with an acoustic guitar; a chant concealed in dissemination and revealed as a concealment; sketch of a childish organ turning into a seed for a swarm of metallic crows, which disappears indulging it's own disillusionment – could it be actually considered as a story? If yes, it's more about fragments. Have you ever relinquished your desire for a book itself just because you’d been haunted by its table of content?

“Bits, Pieces And So Far Beyond” was created by Audio_z, or Tautvydas Bajarkevičius, a sound artist, writer and curator based in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Crónicast 062, “Chords” by Loïs Laplace
13'59", 33.6MB

“This is a seven part piano recording made in 2005, a short time after I saw a free jazz concert during which Tony Oxley was playing drums. I was intrigued by Tony Oxley’s relaxed attitude, the fluid and easy way of movements of his hands and arms in the mean time of a high energy music creation — at these moments notes were accelerated and the time seemed suspended.”

“Hysteresis 1+2”, is an improvised recording of pre-recorded shortwave radio transmissions, online radio broadcasts and TV transmissions, with the company of a minidisc player, a stereo walkman headphone, objects and computer.

The compositions main purpose is to research the psychological effects of hysteresis (a lag between an effect or response and the force that caused it), compositional elements such as silence, amplitude modulation, and the effects it may have on the listener.

The two tracks constructed to be played sequentially are consolidated for this release. “Hysteresis 1”, 5:11; “Hysteresis 2”, 5:11.

Composed & edited in August 2008 by Cem Güney, mastered by Miguel Carvalhais.

This piece covers an abandoned industrial area in the “Ruhrgebiet”, Germany, called “Lohberg”. The photographs (~250) were taken there in summer 2009 on a cloudy day.

This somehow is a demo version of the initial piece, which is about 65 minutes long and much slower in transitions.

Michael Rüsenberg, born 1948, works as radio journalist and has been a sound artist for the last 17 years.

Peter Hölscher, born 1958, works as graphic designer and has been sculptor and photographer for 20 years.

Crónicast 049, “Variations (1, 2, 3)” by Skug

editor@cronicaelectronica.org — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:01:16 +0100

Crónicast 049, “Variations (1, 2, 3)” by Skug
20'20", 40.7MB

Skug was founded in Freiburg/Germany by Ephraim Wegner and Florian Huth in 2003. Though meanwhile both musicians live in different towns of Germany, they still meet regularly to compose new pieces of music, to program music software or just in order to make music. The field recordings heard on Variations (1, 2, 3) were recorded between 2007 and 2008 in the Black Forest and reinterpreted with bass, guitar, electronics and brass instruments. On variations 2 and 3 Wolfgang Zumpe plays trumpet and flugelhorn. Skug's music creates a very visual aspect which gives enough space to the listener to realise his own imagination and to unfold his own fantasy. Like in fine arts, a picture emerges successively by applying one layer of colour after another, Skug create their work bit by bit. Spaces are interchangeable – topoi that exist and can be experienced anytime and everywhere.

Crónicast 047, “Terror Film for Radio” by Durán Vázquez
27'59", 64.1MB

A piece by Durán Vázquez for the RadiaLX radio festival in 2008.

With this piece, conceived for radio, I wanted to work on three of my main influences: cinema, electroacoustic music and politics.

Playing with the several meanings of terror I set up a sound travel that imitates the movie pictures montage with one aim in mind: to introduce the audience into a shocking experience that puts together all those possible meanings of terror. Indeed it seems the times of changes we live in are like a terror movie... well, these are my feelings.

I took original sounds from movies and also from original music by me, including my previous piece “Asturias, patria querida” in which I worked on March 11th 2004 sounds taken from different Spanish radio stations, the day of the trains megablast in Madrid.

I selected the movies Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph (2007), Imprint by Takashi Miike (2006), Le Monde Selon Bush by William Karel (2004), Hellraiser by Clive Barker (1987) and Rosemary’s Baby by Roman Polanski (1968). With these sources and my own stuff I set up a montage full of stereotyped but disturbing sounds, all organized into the sequencer software. The cut & paste process is the main tool in this work.

www.sound-of-ebay.com

A project by UBERMORGEN.COM
Sound coding by Stefan Nussbaumer, visual coding by Lia, script coding by Erich Kachel

Story

First there was silence...
Then there was data...
But there was no story...
Just images and sounds...

Cities were built and a grid was laid on top of the topography.

Within this global grid a company named eBay became the largest marketplace, with very local marketspaces. eBay is romantic and seductive, not like the local fleamarkets in Paris (Le marché aux puces de Saint-Ouen) but sexed up a million times bigger and spherically transcended, much more effective and thoroughly commercialized. We love it! “The Sound of eBay” is the affirmative high-end lowtech contribution to the atomic soundtrack of the new peer-to-peer hypercatastrophic shock-capitalism.

The sound is cool, the machine produces masses of songs and replicates millions of times throughout the networks – flooding the net, a bubbling sea of artifical songs visualized in CONTEMPORARY teletext – a continental drift within a macromusic universal urban scape. Trash-Radio.

Forget the technology, it’s lustful entertainment, baby!

Crónicast 032, "Abibes" by Enrico Coniglio, 12'11", 14.1MB

“Abibes” is the name of an ex coastal depot of GPL, classifyed as an “high risk of accident area”, in Porto Maghera, a big industrial site at the door of the Venice lagoon (Italy).

I have recorded same samples from the environment with a binaural stereo mic, so use headphones for the best result. In a second time I’ve work on the recordings adding some guitar/synth drones treated with Cycling ’74 technology. Here is the result.

Crónicast 031, "Orla" by Carlos Santos

Crónicast 031, "Orla" by Carlos Santos, 28'07", 32.2MB

This audio piece is a full recording of a audiovisual concert called "memory", presented @ Bang Festival, FBAUL, Lisbon, on April 3, 2008. Audio by Carlos Santos and video by André Sier.

I renamed it “Orla” because the sound material deals with the notion of presence, something that’s concrete, that we take for granted in a audible way, but never presents itself in a fully open range, something near the threshold, as the video imagery accents that with its black canvas and small emerging white signs.

Crónicast 027, The Beautiful Schizophonic, 24'12", 27.7MB

Crónicast 027 features The Beautiful Schizophonic performing live in Passos Manuel, Porto.

Marvellous sweeping drones take us back to memories of deserted landscapes. This is the soundtrack of an impossible road movie, of simple complexities and multi-tonal melodic formations, geological oddities through wich we travel, while admiring their uniqueness. This is The Beautiful Schizophonic, performing live for the first time live in Portugal.

This performance was recorded December 12, 2007, at Passos Manuel, Porto. Thank you, and good night.

Crónicast 026, Tam

Crónicast 026, Tam, 15'11", 17.4MB

Crónicast 026 features Tam performing live in Passos Manuel, Porto.

A laptop and ideas. That’s the shortest and the best definition for Tam’s music.

Based in Porto, Tam explores the infinite possibilities conceded by electronic gadgets and computers. The styles presented are pretty vague and vast: House, Techno, Minimal, Ambient , Acoustic or Experimental, they all depend on the mood of the author.

Some very low-fi video work is often incorporated in the live shows. The visual work is focused mainly on landscape, the human figure and several pointless situations of our daily lives. For the “Natal dos Experimentais” live-act Tam recorded several field recordings and samples and played them randomly for about twenty minutes. Is it improvisation? Maybe...

This performance was recorded December 12, 2007.
