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 |
