Soundmaking Ep.22: Alexander Schubert, AV3RY

Music for Museums

Here’s a radio show I moderated on WDR3, in which I play a few pieces I like, and try to explain in German what I like about them. The show has the surreal title "His Master’s Choice" and was broadcasted on 12.02.2017.
It’s basically a follow-up or an addition to a previous show in the series „Point of view“, which can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/alexander-schubert/alexander-schubert-point-of

Fourty white horses
On a red hill
First they jump
Then they stomp
Then they stand still.

Late Turner and Ulsen hung out in the studio in the middle of the night. They connected their instruments and let the machines do their thing. Rather than playing the synth and beat machine they merely adjusted a few parameters throughout the length of the track. This is not your 3 minute 30 pop song. This is not even your 9 minute techno track. This is technology breathing down our necks in the dark.

Late Turner & Ulsen – Tagesschau

Av3ry is an AI program and a virtual persona, who is composing music, communicating with people and learning from interactions.

The main component is the on-demand conversation and art generation of the bot. The goal is to create unique pieces of music and art in the given moment - and based on the criteria of the user interaction.

In the idle process, when not communicating, the system generates random exports and creates a database of 10,000 music pieces. Furthermore the system running on its own creates a continuous audio stream broadcasted live 24/7. It is continuously evolving and changing musical progression.

Museum of No Art [Hamburg, DE] What is in the Museum Of No Art? Not paintings, but visions. Not sculptures, but empty spaces full of potential. It is within this inverted gallery that Mona Steinwidder traces fabulous forms with synthesizer, clarinet and effects. Under the moniker Museum Of No Art, she has created an album that floats in a hazy lacuna between realities, rooted in propulsive and deep bass resonance, but also footloose, playfully deconstructing language and mixing in layers of echoing synthetic and organic tones. The fascinating result of these unfettered experiments resonate as an imaginary cadavre-exquis played by DJ Screw, Arthur Russell, Hiroshi Yoshimura, MJ Lallo, Poppy Nogood, and Laurie Anderson.
