0014 survey / 31st May 2011

dear friends and interested parties, somewhat via elision, we have collected the secret causes of an opaque sovereignty, paid out in bright, static derail; whose spectral figuration is clout for aταραξία, albeit viz seinsfrage, viz aufhebung, albeit as datum continuum. our haul – say, coitus ataraxy, or abbau with certain travails - sees an attenuated quang duc sic some micrortonal prog elvis, in arithmetical reverses, alighting upon ὀμφαλός γῆς omphalós gẽs … that is the pyre, the grapheme of miletus. These ploughshares are circuits: 49 this time – of the conduit-kind...

Ambient Fabric: AKA Ambient Fabric

Anthony Donovan and Clive Graham: AD: admachine, laptop, electronics, mic / CG: tape, electronics, mic. Recorded live and improvised in London, England 29th April 2011.

Astrometria: Matt Chilton uses laptop, webcam, torches and various microphones and junk. Chilton principally employs PureData, SuperCollider, and ChucK to create patches that can be played in realtime. It is something of an obsession of his that he does not use any preprepared sounds or samples when playing with Vultures Quartet; meaning that all of his sounds made for recordings and live performances are improvised in realtime. The patches he writes do various things; key examples include a light sensitive patch which uses two simple FM synthesizers and two looping samplers connected to an analysis of the feed from a webcam. As the luminosity of the webcam feed changes so do the pitches and harmonic content of the FM synths and the pitches of the looping samplers. Live sample manipulation is carried out using a patch that can hold four samples but with two separate channels of playback for each. Any start and stop points and any speed of playback, forwards or backwards, can be chosen for the samples and various effects. Generally Chilton samples percussion, as it offers a far wider and expressive range of sounds when sampled and manipulated; often sounding nothing like the original sample. Other patches deal with algorithmic composition. These use sounds ranging from percussive to soft, sine wave generators to create odd rhythms, microtonal melodies and atmospheric textures. In addition he will often find site specific materials and objects to create ad hoc instruments on the day of the performance that he can use to sample and play live. Chilton started learning classical piano at the age of nine; going on to complete a fine art degree at the University of Oxford and worked as an artist for several years - exhibiting around Europe. More recently, he spent twelve years at the world's most lucrative photogaphy provider culminating in five years as a professional Java and Perl programmer (as well as using C, C++, Objective C, Python and php - and parts of Solaris and Linux you may have imagined but hadn't realised existed). All of these things inform his practice as it is today, ie, a mix of technology and art, or, to put it more precisely: he has a lot of fun playing with the seeming juxtaposition of these two apparently diametrically opposed subjects. Along the way, Chilton has performed with many different groups - playing guitar, bass, piano, synth and laptop. As well as playing with Vultures Quartet, Chilton currently plays with Renderplant - a purely electronic experimental band with a dancer - and he records, solo, as Astrometria. He also occasionally revisits Spork, a guitar, drums and electronics band he has played in, sporadically, for some twelve years. More recently, Chilton has collaborated with Jay Westfold, performing live as Atricyclist - sometimes as an experimental electronics and vocal duo, sometimes as an electronic dance music act. He also works with Seth Guy of London Concrete and The SARS Virus - a new idea in Open Source Music / Audio.

Bob Ostertag, Fred Frith and Phil Minton: [From Bob Ostertag's liner-notes]: '...It was the beginning of the 1980's and from my apartment on the Lower East Side of NYC, the world seemed to be going crazy. Ronald Reagan was being sworn in as President of the United States, something that no longer shocks us now but at the time was nearly unthinkable. The hostages who had been held in the US Embassy in Tehran were coming home to a tumultuous welcome that would unleash a malignant wave of patriotism to sustain the country through the wars of the coming decade: El Salvador, Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, and more. I had just returned from my first trip to Nicaragua, and was experiencing severe readjustment trauma. I turned on the TV and started taping. All you got that week-end was Reagan's inauguration, the hostages' return, game shows, and American football's Superbowl, a once-a-year extravaganza showcasing everything that is macho and ugly in the culture. Fred Frith had just come to NYC and I had a concert with him that night. Without discussing it with Fred, I took my TV tapes, as well as others I had brought back from Central America, and played them through my synthesizer during the gig. The result was Voice of America Part 1. I was happy enough with the results that I worked on developing my cassette set-up further. This was before the days of samplers, or even affordable digital delays. I assembled a series of cheap cassette recorders, each modified to malfunction in a particular way. I also had a stack of looped cassettes of various lengths from telephone answering machines which I used to do live "sampling", then manipulated by playing them back on the screwed-up tape decks. A few months later Fred and I were in London for a concert. Moments before going on, my synthesizer was destroyed in a technical mishap. I was left with my cassette set-up and a contact mic I either kept between my teeth or used to amplify various toys. Fred had brought only a piece of wood with a few screws at either end and guitar strings strung between them. With my synthesizer still smoking, we hastily recruited Phil Minton out of his seat in the audience and without any time for discussion began the set that became Voice of America Part 2. That was my last concert for nearly a decade. I left music entirely and became a full-time writer and organizer around Central American issues. Fred settled in NYC and began an extremely fertile ten-year interaction with the music scene there. As the 1980s wore on, rappers and others developed a whole new form of music out of sampled fragments of politically charged media clips. But this was before that. It was the beginning of the 1980's and from my apartment on the Lower East Side of NYC, the world seemed to be going crazy...'.

Bolide: Bolide is an electro-acoustic improvising sextet, formed in Brighton, UK, in 2007. Originally coming together for a one-off performance at the Colour Out of Space festival that year, the group has so far failed to disband.

It's made of time, spaces, people, and collectively expressing, through the performance form, the concert form, installations and workshop form. It's using mix media medium but in particular the sound matter, as a pretext, as a input point for developing projects and the life movement. http://collectif.sin.free.fr/ http://electroniquepostapocalyptique.tumblr.com/

Eye Lit: Bonnie MacAllister, 339 N. State Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, United States of America / 215.262.9227 / macallister.bonnie@gmail.com / Bonnie MacAllister is active with the Women's Caucus for Art, Green Light Arts, and the Plastic Club. She is a Fulbright-Hays recipient (Ethiopia) and a Pushcart nominee. A playwright, she is the author of She Should Have Written It: A Story of Bohemian Surveillance (Shubin Theatre) and Crowning the May Queen (Philadelphia Fringe Festival). She has also published Written in Paste (forthcoming), Paid in Goats, Some Words Are No Longer Words, Women and Children of Ethiopia, and Coptic: Ethiopian Mysticism. She curates the collaborative multimedia magazine Certain Circuits (www.certaincircuits.org), and she has recently shown her visual artwork at the Delaware Art Museum (along with her husband Victor Thompson), the Center for Green Urbanism (DC), University of Pennsylvania, Montclair State University (NJ), and Florissant Valley Art Gallery in St. Louis, MO.  www.bonniemacallister.com “Eye Lit” is a deconstructed nursery song for a lover, and an informal homage to MacAllister’s former professors: Jacques Derrida, Helene Cixous, and Agnes Varda from her Sorbonne and Paris VIII days.  A capella and vulnerable, the singer describes sounds in tones, a fractured anatomy of a lyric.  She thrives on breaking diction and syntax patterns into atomic bits. MacAllister emphasizes the seedy underbelly, the oft neglected components. She unfasten them and relegates them into something else.  In the eyes, she confronts her lover, woos her lover, confronts her sister, and rejects her sister.  Each slide of a slightly different image reveals the tension in the singers’ face, a singer without a mouth—lit only in the eyes. / Eye Lit Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Your eyes lit up when I saw you Clutter litter lisping Clitter litter it sings Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Your eyes lit up when you came Your eyes lit up when you came Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Pitter patter blister Clatter matter, sister Taper under eyes Paper under eyes Glitter under eyes Flitter under eyes Flitter flutter listen Flitter flutter listen Eye lit Eyes lit Eye lit Eyes lit

Gurdonark: In 1890 and 1891, Eugene Schiefflin did a romantic and misguided thing. He released 100 birds of the species commonly known as European starlings in Central Park in New York City. He had a goal of releasing every bird mentioned in Shakespeare into the American wilds. His project did not prosper as to most species, which did not reproduce. Yet the starling took hold, and soon became a successful invader, intimidating bluebirds and eating crops in the field. The starling became known as an unwelcome invader. Birders do not seek out the starling. The starlings dark colors and aggressive ways render it commonplace and unwanted. Yet I find the starling to have its own charms--a joy in living, and a search for opportunity. One chilly May morning in north Texas, I stood in a thrift store parking lot. A small tree stood in an open space in the concrete. Atop the tree stood a starling. As I watched, he began to sing. I do not remember his song nearly as much as I remember his enthusiasm. May we all, unwanted and excessive every one, live with enthusiasm, in song.

John 3:16: John 3:16 is a unique experiment relying on the broad culture of its solo composer. Heavy and aerial, the music is leading here. No rules to follow as no genre wide enough to encompass all the elements in John 3:16. In between soundtrack, ambient electronic and drone, each track is a piece of space somewhere, far away from here. http://john316john.blogspot.com http://www.alrealon.co.uk/john316.html

Lionfish on Continents: Lionfish on Continents” describes Bonnie MacAllister’s anticipation before debarking to Ethiopia for her Fulbright-Hays in 2009. She was one of fourteen teachers in the United States to be chosen to write the national curriculum on Ethiopia for the United States Department of State.  Several years before, MacAllister lost her cousin, Michael in a tragic and suspicious death.  Michael’s father was Ethiopian and he never made it to the United States. MacAllister’s mother nearly adopted Michael early on, and MacAllister always mourned the loss as the loss of a brother.  Right before MacAllister left for Ethiopia, Michael Jackson died, and she paints him as a strange fish and a symbol for her cousin, a name to be repeated frequently during her Fulbright, always in her mind while she was in Ethiopia. The imagery for this film was shot on location at the Dragon Elysee in Paris, exactly one year after MacAllister returned from Ethiopia.  She was in France about to begin another fellowship for French language educators.

One Minute Wanda: this is mataland killed and dead to me and over the road old neighbours who i don't know in the working men's club cry they are dead they don't like me but i hold my head high and they clock me and they clock in their cards are primarked they drink but they don't work any more in the dark and here are you with your all your co-op fair trade carrier bags all the baggage you can carry but you don't live here any more you don't make any sense to the assistants and you need their assistance but you don't live here any more

One True Dog: ONE TRUE DOG Syllables in everyday speech beat out at about 120 times a minute and vowels are produced in a wind instrument. Song and speech overlap. The connection between the two is deep and sometimes poetic. So ancient in fact is the link that old song forms, the villanelle and the sonnet among them, litter poetry like higgledy gravestones in a neglected graveyard. It should make sense then to arrange marriages between poetry and music. The trouble is the sex is so often forgettable the relationships tend not to last. There are exceptions and with no obvious diseases there’s no reason to discourage experimentation. IN THE BAND Pete Karkut : Laptop and Percussion. Stephen Elwell: Bass. Zolan Quobble: Voice. The laptop uses Ableton with a range of samples from avocado soup bubbles and trapped flies through demijohn percussion to Egyptian strings. The bass playing is usually melodic tainted with grunge and punk and circus, which you might expect from the ex Brain of Morbius keyboard player. The words of LOCUST, the song included here, are adapted by Zolan Quobble from a Madagascan Folk Song by Anonymous.

PAS: So It's A Flash Of Tainted Electric Dust So it’s all in shame that the word has blame Unto the ashes will you part with your colour Fades into the sparkling day into the suns rays to be refreshed Unto the ashes into the flame It rains dust in the worlds of beyond that seek refreshing TIME Extracting your hope for many to turn their backs on because of an illuminated ray The future you will obey until you cease to be an object A cold solid form with no fire storming nonsense while you rot yourself from the insides Fingers that grab you when you are awake Awake to steal your organs and taste them with carnal hunger’’’ Make the best of the cannibalism that pertains to this world For you can yell into the ocean and no one can hear you sound For in the end things wander and sparkle away For in the end there are all ends All that lead to the perfect circle We can all chase our burning wax tails Tall to seek the peak of the wax mountain that heats and lets us slip back into the pool of Electric thoughts Be for warned that it’s all just a pleasant circle….. I hear I speak I taste I touch I blend with the waves into the others.

Platform Attacks: Platform Attacks chronicles a series of violent crimes on public transportation in Philadelphia, PA where Bonnie MacAllister resides. A frequent solitary SEPTA passenger, she discusses the attacks of 2008.  Mugged at knifepoint in her own neighborhood with her husband and collaborator, Victor Thompson, she personalizes these incidents. Platform Attacks filmmaker and editor, Jim Tuite (another Classwar Karaoke participant) referred MacAllister to this project.

Richard Lainhart: The Dark of Noon was recorded on May 20, 2011. The work is a realtime performance, without overdubs or edits, for Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer controlled with a Haken Continuum multi-dimensional keyboard.

Subversive Intentions: Don't text where criminal is composed with bass, thumb piano, cell phone and a loop station. I plucked out random natural harmonics on the bass, layering them with the loop station and used a contact mic to capture the thumb piano. The cell phone feedback comes from sending a text message with the cell phone up against the pick-up of the bass, hence the name.

We enjoyed this greatly, hope you do also :)

Tumei Tejas, Richard Lainhart and Mike Durek:  From the Earth to the Sky is a remix by Michael Durek of Richard Lainhart's Cranes Fly West. The video was created by Tumei Tejas.

The remix started with the original work of Richard Lainhart's entitled Cranes Fly West. The video attempts to meld the objective topographical sense of reality contained in a flawed antiquated map with subjective experience.

 Jim Tuite (AKA Tumei Tejas) has been using photography since 1983. He uses a degenerative approach to video as a foil to mass media and the internet. Visual elements are reduced to iconic value and reassigned to mythological overlays or simulacra strategies. He is a graduate of Tyler School of Art and School of Visual Arts.

Michael Durek is an experimental musician, artist, and composer from Colonia, New Jersey. His main instruments are the upright bass, theremin, and keyboard. He also makes use of various non-traditional objects, electronic sounds, and found samples. In his work, Durek infuses order with chaos, convention with absurdity, and sincerity with humor.
He became active in the experimental music community in August 2009, and since that time has formed the groups Cloud Cloud and the SK Orchestra. He was also recruited by the experimental music group, PAS (Post Abortion Stress).

Richard Lainhart is an award-winning composer, author, and filmmaker - a digital artisan who works with sonic and visual data. Since childhood, he's been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds and images that are as beautiful as he can make them. As an active performer, Lainhart has appeared in public approximately 2500 times. Besides performing his own work, he has worked and performed with John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, Rhys Chatham, Harley Gaber, and Jordan Rudess, among many others. He has composed over 150 electronic and acoustic works.

Zilmrah: Track Title: Awful Or Wonderful / Artist: ZILMRAH / Lawry Romani: 18 String Guitarwheel, Synths, Sampler, 38" Frame Drum, Effects / David Tamura: Tenor Saxophone, Effects / Awful Or Wonderful Is an excerpt from a much longer 25 minute piece titled Non Sequitur Metastasis. It was the third movement in the piece. The segment deals primarily with the upside of heightened awareness, something detractors have labeled paranoid behavior in the modern age in an attempt to suppress this quality in modern man. For centuries those with heightened awareness have suffered at the hands of the miscreants for obtaining this level of understanding. If one can achieve this state through meditation without mind altering drugs, one can only speculate that this human is truly gifted in a journey most lose sight of in their own introspection. there is still a fine line between a gift and a curse so it is up to the gifted to harness this power  for their own path to inner peace.

Zolan Quobble: Poetry is not story telling but it is, like any writing, a form of assisted thought. It’s a state of mind. You know it when you’re in it, reading, listening, watching, writing and performing. The words physically resonate with emotion and significance. If you’re lucky the words are musical. Poetry aspires to be part of an authentic world where you mean what you say and where meaning is life enhancing because it’s part of an ecological and psychological whole. Unfortunately like Deep Ecology it is difficult to live on pieces of economically determined value and profess adherence to the cause. Who can live the life style of the Poetry they stand up for? Some poets are protected in ivory towers and pay the price for their safety by ingesting food laced with bromide. In the real world to avoid being convicted on a charge of hypocrisy, the use of a pseudonym is recommended. This is why, ‘Zolan Quobble’. You don’t need an avatar for a virtual world, you need an avatar for the real world.
