WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER

Video interview from my iii residency

Some photos from “We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together”, a kinetic sound and light performance developed in residency at iii in Den Haag.   “We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together” investigates the deconstruction/reconstruction of white noise and white light.

White noise is what the human ear hears in the presence of all wavelengths of the audible spectrum.  Technically, within a segment of white noise you have all the materials for every song ever written, and every song that will ever be written.  Similarly, white light is what the human eye sees in the presence of all wavelengths of the visible spectrum.   Like a prism divides white light into the complete visible color spectrum (rainbow),“We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together” aims to explore the idea of a sonic prism, where the ear becomes the location where different frequencies combine to create ‘white’.

Using cheap photographic lenses to distort digital projections, FOCAL POINTS is an expanded cinema work that explores the fractured edges of white light: the breaking point where the purity of white dissolves and a full spectrum of color begins to emerge. At times completely immersive, covering all surfaces of the room, and at times just a tiny beam of light, FOCAL POINTS floats in and out of synchronicity with a live electronic composition to create a rich, dynamic experience of light and sound.

NEVER ENDINGS @ SPEKTRUM

Henrik von Coler – The “Threshold Suite”
Doron Sadja – Never Endings

Spektrum Berlin
Doors 19:00 / Start time 20:00

I’ll be presenting “Never Endings”, a new work for quadraphonic sound, single channel video projection, and smoke machine. Immersed in a dense fog eliminating the physical boundaries of the room, sound and light structures pan, bend, twist, and materialize throughout the space. Existing in a volatile state between nothingness and overwhelming physical power, “Never Endings” attempts to create an environment where sound, light, and smoke can manifest into seemingly tangible forms.

SOUND PORTRAITS #5: Bernard Parmegiano

Sunday September 6, 2015
Doors: 19:00 / Start time 20.00 – free entrance

http://spektrumberlin.de/events/detail/sound-portraits-bernard-parmegiani-30.html

Sound Portraits is a series of listening sessions, curated by Doron Sadja, focusing on the work of iconic composers who have paved the way for contemporary electronic music. After a short introduction of each artist’s life and work, we will listen to a selection of excerpts and complete works from the artist’s repertoire. Besides providing an opportunity to introduce these seminal artists to a new audience, the Sound Portraits series also offers an open forum to engage in group listening in a quiet atmosphere. Each event is free and will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Bernard Parmegiani’s rich body of work, spanning nearly 50 years, stands as among the most important in electronic music, influencing generations of artists within the academy and beyond – with the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Sonic Youth all citing him as a major influence. Parmegiani initially trained as a mime, a practice he often drew on when describing his music. It was Pierre Schaeffer who, in 1961, convinced him to start composing. In Schaeffer’s musique concrète, the building blocks of composition were not notes and rests, but recordings. Pieces were created through collage and the transformation of acoustic sounds on tape. It was this technique that Parmegiani developed so expansively from the 1960s onwards. Animated and dynamic, Parmegiani’s work is especially distinctive for its kinetic physicality and visceral presence.

SOUND PORTRAITS #7: Iancu Dumitrescu & Ana Maria Avram

Spektrum @ Bürknerstraße 12 Berlin
November 1st, 2015
8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram are the two leading voices of Hyper-Spectral music, a trend in avant-garde classical music that takes its formal model from the very structure of sound.  Raw, explosive, impassioned, and disarming, their work explores the aesthetics of noise, dramatically penetrating the very fabric of instruments to articulate entirely new sounds.  Their prodigious output includes over 300 unique works and 30 joint CD releases, and their Hyperion Ensemble features prominent musicians such as Stephen O’Malley [SunnO)))], Tim Hodgkinson [Henry Cow], and Steve Noble alongside a roster of incredible musicians from Romania, France, Germany, and Israel.  “Music that uncompromisingly addresses the future, opening us to an entirely new and unheard universe of sound.”

Since the 1960s Eliane Radigue (born Paris, 1932) has created a singular, powerful and individual body of work that explores slowly evolving states where musical change is perceived as environmental in scale, constant in evolution and virtually imperceptible in transformation. Often monumental in duration, her music communicates a sublime spiritual power, transporting the listener on a journey into the very heart of sound. A true original, Radigue has followed an artistic path unfettered through association to any schools and trends. She is now celebrated as a true innovator, pioneer and musical visionary.
