You may need: Adobe Flash Player. Our eighth VT Audio Edition has been released! Contributed by the Portugal-based Diana Combo (aka Eosin), "Hum" is a live recording of a performance at Sala EL OFF in Barcelona. Diana describes her performance MO: Eosin employs pre-recorded vinyl noises and loops to create time sequences for use in live situations while mixing records with DJ techniques. This gives way to improvisation, choosing the sounds to mix in the moment of the performance and constructing a real-time layer that blends to the one made of prerecorded sounds. Combo's performance is a spartan creeper that thoroughly explores a minimal sonic palette while elegantly building and diminishing in intensity.

A quick update: We are busy finalizing the design and layout for our next issue, entitled "Schematic as Score" which is guest curated by the sound artist Derek Holzer (of Tone Wheels and SoundTransit.nl fame). Having been immersed in the content for the last several days, I can say with full confidence that the body of work Derek has assembled is a really interesting selection of sound objects and performance projects that is quite unlike anything we've featured in the journal before. Pictured above is an image from Derek's SoundBoxes project, which was just featured in a hands-on workshop context at the Share Conference in Belgrade. Hopefully by this time next week, the issue will be live – so hold tight! |
