Diapason Gallery for Sound
is dedicating the month of October to the exploration of the idea
"Microsound", a technical term and also a musical genre. In
honor of the 10th anniversary of the .microsound.org mailing list
Diapason will present multi-channel installations, sound objects, performances,
lectures, texts and other media in an effort to develop a survey on
Microsound from today's post-digital perspective.
Microsound is a term that
encompasses explorations of sound on a time scale "shorter than musical notes".
It includes subgenres such as Glitch music, granular synthesis, Lowercase sound,
etc.
About Diapason:
Since 2001, Diapason has
been devoted to the presentation of sound art. The gallery, located in Sunset
Park, Brooklyn, NY, contains two listening environments with
state-of-the-art multi-channel sound systems: the "lounge" contains a 12
channel sound system placed asymmetrically around the space and the
"gallery" is a focused listening environment with a high quality 8 channel
system. Installation and performance proposals that consider site and
spatialization as an important parameter will be favored.
More information:
Please submit your
proposals by August 10th 2009 to:
Daniel Neumann, curatorial
assistant

hallo daniel,
ich bin im october in nordamerika. zuerst so um den
14 - 18 oktober in winnipeg beim send&receive festival und dann bin ich
anschliessend in new york. so um den 20-24 oder 25. vielleicht ergibt sich da
eine möglichkeit in der galerie für ein konzert? im moment kann ich dir noch
keine genauen daten schicken. aber wenn interesse bestünde wäre das fein -
vielleicht gemeinsam mit richard garet, bei dem ich wahrscheinlich wohnen
werde.
liebe grüsse aus wien,
heribert

"Spacey-Noises"
by Paulo R. C. Barros, video
by Georges Bormand, sci-fi short story
Who said that in space one doesn't hear any noise? It's true for one who is in the real void, of course, out of the spatial ship. But inside the ship, when it runs at thousands of kilometers per second, the rubbing of tiny atoms of hydrogen against the sides of the ship suffices to produce a permanent whistling which fills the cabin. Every time the ship accelerates, the noise becomes shriller; not counting encounters with more or less dense clouds of various atoms. It is a lancinating music; isn't it, really, what eulogized Huygens as "the music of spheres"? Some astronauts cannot stand it, and they need to mask it with their favorite music records constantly playing throughout the trip; I love it, it is the music of my voyages in space, and when I am not in flight I miss it. Every change in the sound, in the tone or in the loudness, wakes me up when I am sleeping. I recorded a few minutes of particularly pretty sounds (it's my taste, how do you dare to contest it?), and corresponding images from the control screens of the ship. When I play them, some feel sorry for me and ask: « How can you endure such uproar a whole flight long? » I feel sorry for them, who are not able to recognize beauty. Poor men. I must tell that the flight during which I recorded these minutes was not an easy going one ; the rocket nearly crashed on a large asteroid ; when I talk of a near miss, I mean that I passed at about 10 kilometers from the asteroid ; but ten kilometers from the rocky core is a zone where the concentration in gaseous molecules is already more than one hundred times that of the ordinary void, and the concert I owed to the hail of shots against the walls of the ship was proportional to this increasing. In all, between the actions needed to avoid collision when I discovered the danger, and the trajectory corrections to compensate for both deviations, the avoiding moves and the consequences of the meeting, I needed to work many hours; thus the record reminds me also of the needed wariness in every flight. Besides, it is now time that I put all my attention upon the present flight, before an accident occurs because I am absent-mindedly speaking to you... _______________________________________________ microsound mailing list microsound@... http://or8.net/mailman/listinfo/microsound |
