Here’s a link to my track (Shameless self promotion) –
Here’s the whole album –
I’ll post live videos from the Stanford and CNMAT performances, and a version with the accompanying interactive video sometime sometime soon
Performed by Pechitos Ecuestres, this is an hour long absurdist performance for voice, two guitars, and video. I’ll post a score when I’ve had a chance when I can find what drives I have it stored on!
Thanks to the guys for all the work they put into this, it is not an easy piece… and it’s an hour long. I tried to remaster the audio a little so there is some hiss that got boosted but the instruments can be heard clearer and the dynamic range is maintained. And special thanks to Jorge Portillo for the video of the performance.
Make sure your sitting comfortably : )
This piece is an interactive situation/installation inspired by various elements of The Third Policeman by Flann O’Brien.
Those who encountered the piece follow simple instructions, which explain how the anglepoise lamp should be moved. A microphone with high gain – with pitch shifter and limited output – is hidden near the lamp. The movement of the lamp changes the sound and also changes the lighting cast onto the object/sculptural elements in front of the participant. The central sculptural element is a magnifying lens, which points towards a set of gradually shrinking pieces of bent metal gauze. Still images of these element will be available soon.
This realization was set-up in the old MAX Lab at CCRMA Stanford University. There are three sample encounters in the following video
