Product details
ephemeral densities is re-sound's third CD. It focuses on new
Australian work by re-sound members Steve Adam, Melanie
Chilianis, Paul Moulatlet, and Thomas Reiner. All but one of
these works were presented in March 2004 to a capacity audience
at Pony, a night club in Melbourne's inner city district. The
idea for the event was to integrate contemporary chamber music,
computer music and popular electronic music. The audience
feedback on this performance that re-sound received encouraged
the group to create this recording.
canal includes a processed drum pattern created with a drum
ensemble, a range of drum samples, simple chord progressions, and
samples taken from site recordings in 2003 in Venice and
Florence.
Quintet/sextet for chamber group and CD juxtaposes atonal chamber
music with recorded materials, including samples of site
recordings made in Florence and Venice.
breath stain uses various sound sources as the raw material for
construction and transformation. re-sound performers (clarinet,
bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, violin and flute).
Non-instrumental sounds include samples taken from a walk in
inner-city Melbourne and crickets in Somers, Victoria. breath
stain uses an electro-acoustic environment to expose the
relationship between breath, musical gesture and non-instrumental
sounds.
HybriD is a collaborative work for multiple acoustic instruments,
live computer processing and synthesis. The merging of
performance data derived from each of the performers enables a
mix of influences that result in the creation of sounds that are
effectively hybrids.
aerofoil features a bouncy synth-bass loop, tape delay applied to
hi-hat rhythms, some ambient gestures made up of slowly
undulating pitches, an up-beat pizzicato-style melodic motive,
and a bell-like, high-pitch texture.
Vectors uses an ordered set of pitches and its variants, and the
original set governs the relationship among the different
variants.
ephemeral densities explores changes of texture and sound colour.
Four sound objects provide the source material for the work: (1)
a synthesized sound that resembles the chirping call of the male
cricket, (2) a fast changing, busy sound that appeared suddenly
and surprisingly as a sonic artefact while undertaking site
recordings with a minidisk recorder in Victoria's Grampians, (3)
a very low bass sound, and (4) a metallic sounding drum loop.
