rætina
|
RELEASED MARCH 22, 2012 AVAILABLE NOW FROM LISTEN/HEAR COLLECTIVE The first full length album from up-and-coming Perth based sound-artist, Kynan Tan. Traversing a multiplicity of musical ground, Raetina features glitchy beats, shimmering spectral harmonies and constantly shifting textures and employs a vast array of sound sources, from electronic glitches and noises to recorded instruments and field recordings, all of which have been processed and manipulated by Tan’s self-made computer programs. A rhodes piano is diced up and reformed into a new rhythmic entity, modular synthesisers whiz and whir over the top of guitar chords and voices float hauntingly along an environment of sub-bass thumps and rapid glitches. The resulting eight carefully constructed tracks showcase Tan’s talent as a composer, creating an intensely atmospheric work that also concisely articulates the materials of 21st century digital music. – 01 – (3:21) – gleichzeitig total length: 41:22
released 22 March 2012 Available to purchase now on the Listen/Hear Collective Bandcamp as digital download or CD w/ double cardboard gatefold. TRACKS

Mechanisms of Fracture
|
RELEASED OCTOBER 1, 2009 Mechanisms of Fracture By Aletheia Ensemble 2009 Aletheia Ensemble 2009 Mechanisms of Fracture Creative Commons License Mechanisms of Fracture traces the development of the first electroacoustic Aletheia Ensemble through a challenging graduating year, from streaming loops over the internet to feedback loops over MaxMSP. Stream, a collaboration with Griffith University in Brisbane, is an internet streaming loop that develops interaction, electronic processing and improvisation. The sounds are received and passed on constantly, evolving from sparse blips, vocals and keyboard tones into washes of noise. WAAPA Music Technology: Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University Music Technology: Discrete is a re-interpretation of the feedback tape loop pieces of Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Terry Riley. Here the ensemble improvises on clarinet and piano while processing the sound through two laptops. This creates an ambient wash of recursive melodies and textural accompaniment. Artists: Cherie Lebrasse, Ben Hamblin, Kynan Tan. Track Listing1. Stream 2. Discrete TRACKS |
