"Secede" (Entr'acte) These recordings were made as part of a proposed file-sharing collaboration with Austrian sound artist Helmut Schäfer. The recordings were abandoned after Schäfer’s death in April 2007 but largely due to his original interest and enthusiasm, newly-recorded sections were added, with the final edits and mix completed later that year. Schäfer does not appear on these recordings, but the final tracks have been completed with the initial discussions for the collaboration very much in mind. CD in an edition of 300 copies. Listen to a sample: £8.00 postpaid (worldwide) |

Cheapmachines "Public/Private"  Recordings from "Public/Private", an unmanned sound installation which ran for five days between 28/08/07 and 01/09/07 in an empty bank vault in London. Each evening, an automated drone was set to run uninterrupted for three hours. The event was held in complete darkness. No instructions were given regarding the size or layout of the space. People where left to freely explore the vaults chambers. The sounds were generated using the supercollider software environment. This allows for certain parameters such as pitch/frequency, volume, duration etc. to be suggested by the user. The computer then interprets these instructions and generates a live, real-time composition without the need for any further user interaction. The purpose of the event was to provide a live listening experience which was devoid of any visual information or any human performance element. The sounds (where possible) were set to a volume/pitch which made normal levels of conversation difficult amongst visitors to the installation. The recordings here are only a short selection from the fifteen hours which were generated over the five day period. |
