Metronomic nightmare

Recording of live performance "Voyeurizm for music" in Improtest event series in Kanuti Gildi SAAL, Tallinn. Recording Johannes Ahun & Mari Meentalo. Mixing Johannes Ahun. 
Recording was done for tape, released in 2018.

Voyeurizm for Music

Recording of live performance in VY:Sofa club in Druskininkai, Lithuania. Performance was a result of 10 days residence in Druskininkai Artists` Residence. I process sounds of mechanical calculator through Zoom Multistomp effects and loopers. Additionally i use voice through effects of guitar pedal.

Arythmometria

Sounds of motors, engines, ventilators, spinner and other electromechanical devices with effect-combinations of Zoom Multistomp. And small self-made synth.

The Birth of Konfuckius

Sound sample of the upcoming theatre performance "Poetry and violence" by sound-designer Erik Alalooga.

Poeesia ja vägivald / Poetry and violence

Music is a readjustment of silence by the matter and machines. Mechanical systems have an aboriginal quality to reduplicate its movement patterns. My mission is to make it loud. My toolbox consists intuition, irrationality and denial of cultural background noise. Music is still a strength of materials, a sign of deformation, acceleration of reflexes, a functional ergonomics of body-movements, an arbitrar implemention of error, a superiority of DIY philosophy and a brutal force! 
A cornerstone of my musical expression is an analytical interaction with matter and self-made objects. Basic unit of composition isn´t a note, but periodically repeated pattern. Different methods are used to launch these cycles. Motors launch and keep running mechanical objects, which´s cycle creates clearly distinguishable sound-pattern.
Physical play with objects and matter allows manipulations with impulses, rhytms and speeds. It will provide necessary layer of dynamical improvisation to current artpiece. Use of electronic loopers allows to pick up short sections of sounds from object´s sonic expression and to combine different patterns. Inaccuracy of manual loopers will guarantee presence of organic human touch in technology-based artpiece. It can create endless amount of rhytm bases for sonic layers to add. General structures of pieces are pre-composed, but inaccuracy described above, allows to use playful improvisation.
