I WROTE A BLUES TODAY

we are working on a sound influenced by the early folk esthetics, soaked with soft and mellow harmonies and iterative elements. enjoy!

APPELEZ-MOI AMY CORSICA
quand une maîtresse virtuelle met la corde au cou du poète

en neuf ans, “corsica_s” alias “tim kahn” a publié plus de 3000 sons sur la base de données collaborative www.freesound.org. environ 1300 d’entre eux sont des enregistrements de sa “girlfriend”, “amy gedgaudas” lisant les requêtes postées sur le forum du site. pauline guiffard et julien maret sont parti de la voix de amy et du rapport qu’ils ont imaginé entre elle et corsica_s. ils ont extrait le registre des messages pornographiques contenus sur le profil de tim et ont fait de amy une maîtresse virtuelle, une sirène appelant ulysse à la dérive. un dialogue s’instaure entre la voix de amy et celle de julien maret qui a écrit le récit d’un poète persécuté

Bacchette immaginifiche (toccata e fuga)

bacchette immaginifiche is a series of interventions based on a proposition.
the proposition being, the use of a long stick to reach out and play musical instruments trapped in public spaces.
once you have encounter the said instrument, the rule it is to reach out tentatively and attempt to play a note of your choosing, then run away,toccata e fuga!
bacchette immaginifiche is fully realized and at one with itself on the completion of a personal scalehere is our starting point for picnic radio residence of francesco cavaliere.

during in the first week of the project we soon found our ideas thwarted then later subverted by nature. there is never a stick long enough to reach the unattainable.
with this in mind by the following week our vision and focus had changed, this natural evolution was also echoed in the sudden pygmytisation of the stick.

“some of them where possible to play others where more bashful to the ear…”
we are talking about a group of frozen hibernated plants, pittosporum plants found in cavaliere garden
these musical icicles were performed and recorded on the few brief frozen days in march.
at this point all was suddenly cast in a new direction..some how the vision more ephemeral, unstable,less overtly tactile …indeed the interesting thing was the extremely natural changes in pitches and tonality as the ice broke to the touch.

for you now forever crystallized we have a 25 minutes musical piece featuring percussive icicles , imitations of wind
and fields adventures………. toccata e fuga !

Mauerspechte hören

well. the wall has gone a longtime ago.
almost forgotten, when suddently david hasselhof was singing again at eastide galery around 2 weeks ago. this made me think about this wall.
where was it? what is left ? where was east & west?
i came too late, so i havent seen it. i dont know anything about it.
also i wanted to know what happend to the airwaves occupied by spys on both sides of the wall. this picnic radio emission is a journey along the topographic lines of the iron curtain. capturing ground surface, shortwave snippets and some goodies between:

its 167.8 km. i have an average travel speed of around 15 km/h. that means a total of 11.18 hours.if all goes well. this material has to be condendsed to half an hour. so i have to drive around 335 km/h. or compress it by 22 times. hmmmmm. we will see what happens.

While reel to reel tape loops and FM transmitter/receiver copulations compete in feeding signals back to their sources visitors to the installation become the unwitting conductors of the noise produced. With open mikes in the subterranean space recording everything to the tape loops and open circuit transmitters sensitive to every movement effecting the radio noise they can’t help being the innocent culprits responsible for such spontaneous cacophonies, that do yearn to be so big but are confined and compressed by their own physical limitations. This compressed noise, reacting to the echoes of itself in the unique shape of the cellar, evolves in time and space with every revolution of the tape loop.

Johnny – “I was cocking a pizza and the machine was singing by itself in the basement. Is it working?”
Seamus – “Well, as much as when you kick a dog it barks.”
