EPISODE VII ‘DISSONANCE’

- I walk through the streets of this vast metropolis, losing myself in its many
sounds. Street after street, the buildings, like enormous guardian demons
clad in multi-coloured screens, watch my every step, our every step. This
crossing I’m about to take is filled with hundreds upon hundreds of people at
every moment of the day, and I move in unison with them, creating a single
harmony. Right, left, a glance at my mobile, I keep going.
-
- But this time, I notice a shadow, just beside the traffic light pole on the
opposite side. It moves in sharp, jerky motions, out of sync—right, left—a
fraction of a second too soon, or too late. It catches my attention. A second
ago it was blurred, now ultra-clear—a regular woman, dark hair, grey clothes;
she could be me on a dreary November afternoon, leaving work. And yet, her
unsynchronised movements and unstable form hold my gaze. As I stare, she
lifts her eyes and locks onto mine. Hypnotised, I stop on the zebra crossing,
while the human river flows around her. Moving slowly but still in those
irregular jerks, the woman comes closer. Nearer and nearer, a feeling of
unease fills me, yet I cannot take a step forward. Now she’s here, right in front
of me. Her pupils fixed on mine vibrate almost imperceptibly at an intense
frequency, yet with no order. Suddenly, she seizes my hand. “Dissonate.” I
blink, and she’s gone.
-
- The light is about to turn red, and the last pedestrians are hurrying across. I
hurry too, but feel both heavy and weightless. The world flows around me,
and I am out of step. People extend their strides in slow-motion steps, yet
somehow impossibly fast. I feel as if every movement of mine is submerged
in water with opposing currents. The sound of the traffic light becomes
piercing, then low; the sky brightens, then dims, as if its exposure control has
gone mad. I can no longer tune myself to any rhythm. Days pass both quickly
and slowly, leaving deep yet faint marks I can no longer decipher. And
yet—do I want, or not want, to resonate with it?

HOS #36 (17/11/24)

ionoss is an aspiring visual, material and sonic manipulator on the beginning of an errant path that
will hopefully end in a mesh of cables, synthetic skin and autotune delirium. She is moved by jagged
rhythms, low-end bass, processed screams and the sound of blips, bells and droplets.

"Indefinite Lattices, the new 12-inch record by Glyn Maier, is rock music of a very different order. During visits to two mineral-rich sites, Maier collected field recordings of these environments which were then re-synthesized into four extended compositions. At Ringing Rocks in Pennsylvania, a field of boulders make bell-like tones when struck, as well as low-frequency tones that are unhearable by humans. (Scientists have yet to discern why the rocks ring, but believe it may have to do with the freeze-thaw cycle that produced them.) The other site visited by Maier—the fairly remote Kaʻena Point on the coast of O’ahu, Hawaii—was believed to be the departure point for souls leaving this world.

The unstable rhythmic patterns from these spaces, as well as Maier’s tappings, scrapes, and footsteps throughout the two sites, are paired with lullabilic progressions and ghostly effects. Instead of the artist’s personal expressions, the tracks on Indefinite Lattices are envisioned as lithic formations in their own right, as things grown rather than produced. They seem to have peaceful but complex lives of their own. Guided by notions of deep ecology—and an anti-colonialism that recognizes the bloody histories of these two sites—Maier refashions the instrumental utility of electronic music so that the agency of environments is emphasized.

Like watching rocks fall down a cliffside and splashing into a stream, or the humbling calm of a thunderstorm, one is left wondering whether this record is the result of human intention or a combination of natural forces. Treading the line between traditional and experimental approaches to ambient music, Maier edits the contingency of his gear’s electrical signals and the recorded environments into tightly conceived compositions. Indefinite Lattices is documentation of moments in the geological process, but also illustrates the geologic nature of art itself.
