A vision for your ears of the coming fate of some unexpecting electroacoustic composers and performers. Some might even feel comfortable in this environment...


SUPERBIA - Electroacoustic Composers In Purgatory

Weird thrashing of a radio broadcast. Whatever would Kathy Berberian said?

I composed this track on my old Amiga in the late years of the twentieth century. I don't remember  how it was done, but I think I merged two miditracks and made it work on a Roland MT-32. Fortunately, its sound-bank is close to what became General Midi Standard. This piece is now played and recorded from an iMac with QuickTime internal GM Midi Player.
Robert Fripp, why are you so reluctant to answer the phone? 

A Late Night Call to Fripp

Ambient homage to Karlheintz Stockhausen. Composed in 1999, surviving as a midi-file, rendered in Ableton Live to current version in 2010.

Stochastic Stockhausen Stratosphere

A mock-up track, mimicking a heavy industrial drone, complete with added, fabricated, DAT-tape read errors at the end. This track was made as a practical joke on my former neighbour Peter Andersson, a.k.a. Deutsch Nepal, Lina Baby Doll. He begged me to transfer material from his old DAT-tapes. He was looking for a certain track that he wanted to re-use in live-set. After many frustrating hours of technical problems with digital dropouts, I finished it off with adding this final track of my own, deconstructed into an industrial dronetrack, hopefully deceptivelly like Peters. Here i must say that a really admire Peters journey from a sort of musical joker to an respected artist, known worldwide. I still wonder if he thought that this track was something  he had recorded on tape and then forgotten...
