In 1952, John Cage wrote a piece called “Imaginary Landscape No. 5” for “any 42 phonograph records.” The piece consists of a graphical score and a series of instructions by which one may make a recorded work, including simple procedures such as the changing of records, silencing or allowing their playback, and making adjustments to levels from “soft” (1) to “loud” (8). The result of a series of chance operations made using the I Ching as a guide, the piece is at times frenetic, with as many as eight records playing within the span of a couple of seconds, and at other times sparse, with one or no records whatsoever playing.

The piece was made for a solo dance performance by Jean Erdman entitled “Portrait of a Lady,” and Cage‘s realization exclusively used jazz records, partly because he felt that the performance “had a character that suggested popular music” and partly to “come to terms” with jazz. Rather than trying (and failing) to repeat history by approximating Cage‘s realization of “Imaginary Landscape No. 5” using jazz records from the 1950s, “A Simple Procedure” features 42 uncompromising new works made specifically for this project by a broad spectrum of acclaimed performers and composers of experimental music and cut onto 7" records via a Presto 6N lathe recorder from the 1940s. The resulting records, transcribed using an antiquated technology whose makers could certainly never have foreseen such a (mis)use, speak honestly to the nature of their translation into the physical world, lying buried under layers of static in a way that harkens towards impossible histories or unlikely uses of time travel.

Estuary Ltd. is making each of these 42 recordings available in single editions on a first-come / first-serve basis (single copies were also made for each of the artists as well as the label‘s archives). All copies feature letterpress printed, die cut and hand numbered sleeves, as well as a realization of “Imaginary Landscape No. 5” on the B side, made by Mark Cetilia using custom software and the A sides of the 42 records themselves. The complete set of recordings, including “analog” and “digital” realizations of the piece (realized using the lathe cut records and digital files, accordingly), are also being made available as 2 CD set, in an edition of 200 copies featuring letterpress printed, die cut and hand numbered sleeves.

Noted composer Alvin Lucier once said “I don‘t think of technology as technology. I think of it as a landscape... and I‘m just responding to the landscape of my time.” Sixty-plus years after “Imaginary Landscape No. 5” was written, the musical landscape is indeed very different, in great part due to Cage‘s contributions. “A Simple Procedure” is a celebration of that legacy, and a re-imagining of the piece through the lens of contemporary musical practice.

Digging A Hole (Excerpt)

Performance
Saturday, March 9th, 2019

ISSUE Project Room
22 Boerum Place, Brooklyn

For her inaugural residency performance, 2019 Artist-In-Residence Charmaine Lee premieres “Laminals,” the first of three movements of a new long-form piece for solo voice. Using the organic instrument as a vehicle for synthetic creation, this movement investigates the possibilities of both the grotesque and beautiful qualities that emerge from a mechanical treatment of the human voice. Lo-fi and hi-fi microphones amplified through multi-channel speakers, electroacoustic feedback, and other digital sound sources are utilized in the exploration of new expressions in vocal music.

The program is paired with an improvised trio performance featuring id m theft able (voice, objects) and Andrea Pensado (voice, electronics). Together, the trio demonstrates the dynamic nature of the voice, celebrating the human spirit in all its wonder and absurdity.

Charmaine Lee is a New York based vocalist. Her music is predominantly improvised, favoring a uniquely personal approach concerned with spontaneity, playfulness, and risk-taking. Beyond extended vocal technique, Charmaine uses amplification and microphones to augment and distort the human voice. She has performed with leading improvisers Nate Wooley, id m theft able, and Joe Morris, and maintains ongoing collaborations with contemporaries Conrad Tao, Zach Rowden, Lester St. Louis, Leila Bordreuil, and Ben Bennett. She has performed at venues such as ISSUE Project Room, the Lincoln Center, Roulette, The Kitchen, and the Stone. Charmaine is a member of the Editorial Board of Sound American. As a composer, she has been commissioned by the Wet Ink Ensemble (2018) and has a forthcoming commission with Spektral Quartet (2018). Her music has been released on Anticausal Systems.

id m theft able performs within and without the realms of noise, avant-improvisation, sound poetry, performance, etc. using voice, found objects, electronics, and whatever else is available. He has given hundreds of performances across four continents in various settings.

Based in the US since 2002, Andrea Pensado uses her voice and electronics to create her deeply personal sonic language. She works with Max as her main tool. The programming emphasizes the mapping of synthesis parameters into performance gestures. The resulting harsh cut up noise, mixed with the strong emotional component of her music, occasionally give her access to unknown inner states of the self. Pensado performs extensively in the US and abroad. She also curates and produces Sonorium, a series of experimental music based in Salem, MA. “…Pensado’s style is all tension and little release…the sound is simply fascinating…” - Ryan Masteller, TABS OUT
