Daniel Barbiero, Gary Rouzer & Chris Videll - Indigo Over Red On Grey (Electronic Musik, 2011)

1 Indigo Over Red On Grey

Indigo over Red on Grey represents one event in an ongoing collaboration among Daniel Barbiero (prepared & unprepared double bass),Gary Rouzer (amplified textures & field recordings), and Chris Videll, aka Tag Cloud (sound sculpture, processing & mixing). Combining diversely-sourced sound elements into audio atmospheres of varying rarefaction, Barbiero/Rouzer/Videll explore the ways in which conventional and extended string techniques can interact with readymade sounds, amplified objects and digital processing.

Indigo over Red on Grey is an electroacoustic exquisite corpse in which a double bass improvisation served as a foundation track inrelation to which sound processing and field recordings were created in a double-blind process, after which all three tracks were combined and mixed.

Jukka Vakkinen-Kannonen - Improvisaatioita Kanssa Siniaanet (Audio Gourmet, 2011)

1 Yksi 07:44
2 Kaksi 05:37

Jukka Vakkinen-Kannonen is a former TV documentary director who currently lives in Tampere, Finland. He now works as a computer technician assisting small architecture studios with IT services.

Initially intrigued by the work of local heroes Pansonic and Mika Vainio and then later by the work of György Ligeti, Iannis Xenakis, Arne Nordheim and Bernard Günter, Jukka started to perform and record short improvisations using sine waves and field recordings that he originally captured for his documentaries.

To accompany his work, he refers to the texts of German philosopher Martin Heidegger "...a place that the ideas and sensibility behind what I do seem to perceive as very familiar."

After four years and many hours of archived sounds accumulated through improvised sessions, he decided to edit them into a two-piece sound release titled Improvisaatioita Kanssa Siniaanet which simply means 'Improvisations With Sine Waves'
What is interesting with Jukka's work is that instead of the at times irritating and shrill sound that we often associated with sine waves, he has painstakingly carved out a pair of viscous soundscapes that manage to coax out a sense of calm and transition between his several years' worth of source material.
Audio Gourmet

Transition seems to be Vakkinen-Kannonen's main concern when working with sound as we can learn from his quotes below:

"The notion of time is acquired in the passage from one moment to another not in the moment itself."

"Sine waves seem to end nowhere and start never."

Solquest - Music For Particles Suspended In A Fluid (SfintRecords, 2010)

1 Brownian Motion
2 Continuous-Time Stochastic Process
3 Subatomic Causality
4 Probability Density Function

"Music For Particles..." is a crossover between some field recordings got in a live in Bucharest and some other sounds added later (piano, noises and electronics). The intention is to reproduce in music the subatomic indeterminism of molecular particles. The fluctuation and the casuality of their motion.

All titles by Solquest.
Thanks to: Florentina, Jacopo, Piero e Nicola.

Solquest is the solo face of Stefano Spataro, an italian musician involved even in other musical projects. The hit of Solquest is to research, mix and try different sounds without fixing on a definitive genre, passing from Ambient to Harsh Noise, from acoustic stuff to industrial.

Difondo - Habitat (La Bèl Netlabel, 2010)

1 Bioma
2 Cuore di tenebra
3 Koto sun
4 Muta
5 Habitat
6 Senza ferro
7 Resilienza
8 Addio mio concubino

This work starts from two improvisation sessions recorded in the first part of 2009 and then edited on the computer in spring 2010.Using the metaphor of “habitat” to give the title to this album comes from the desire to imagine the sound space as a dimension in which the musical processes are ideally considered at the same strength of the typical developing and connection processes in nature.For this reason every piece has to be seen as closed in itself, as a specific habitat, but at same time contributing, as a jigsaw part, to create an immersive listening dimension.In a wider sense the term “habitat” refers to a music vision which John Cage would define “ecological” in his ideal effort to consider all the aspects of the sound field as belonging to nature without genre distinction or, may be better, as “a whole game of his elements”.The emphasis given to the term “habitat” takes us to dedicate this work to the celebrations linked with the ONU’s choice of declaring 2010 as the “Year of the Biodiversity”. This as an ideal support to the reflection on human life considered in its essential relationship with the environment surrounding us, our habitat indeed.
